South Africa Knocks Nigeria off its Perch as
“Most Corrupt” African Country
South Africa is now believed to be the most
corrupt country on the continent, according
to a new survey.
By Alexis Haden
The latest report by Transparency
International sees South Africa top the list
of countries where citizens believe the
problem has got worse in the last year.
Over 80% of South Africans who were
interviewed thought that corruption had
increased over the last year. Ghana and
Nigeria are some of the other worst-
affected nations.
79% of South Africans surveyed also believe
that not enough is being done to curb
corruption. On the continent‚ the majority of
Africans (58%) say that corruption has
increased over the past year.
If there is one shining light to the survey
it’s that 56% of South Africans surveyed
believe that ordinary people can make a
difference in the fight against corruption.
The survey found that 25% of respondents
in SA believe that the most effective way for
ordinary citizens to combat corruption is by
reporting their experiences‚ followed by a
further 22% who identified the refusal to pay
bribes as an effective means to fight
corruption.
With 43‚143 respondents, across 28
countries surveyed, people feel the police,
business executives, government officials
and the courts were all perceived as
corrupt, with 75 million people estimated to
have paid a bribe in the past year, AFP
reports.
Between JZ pouring money into his Nkandla
digs, Prasa’s dodgy trainsand countless of
other scandals, South Africans aren’t
exactly stoked about the state of affairs.
“People are outraged, they see this huge
spending as part of government corruption,”
David Lewis, director of Corruption Watch, a
local anti-graft organisation, told AFP.
“Corruption creates and increases poverty
and exclusion,” Transparency International
head Jose Ugaz said in a statement. source: www.thesouthafrican.com/south-africa-knocks-

It is good that they are still believing, meaning it is not yet confirmed to be what they believe it to be.

At least is good news South Africa has improved on something.

Asking random civilians who are disgruntled with the current government if they think corruption has gotten worse.....What do you think they are going to say?

Anyway according to Transparency International, who rank more than a 160 countries, ranked South Africa 67th least corrupt country in the world, Nigeria on the other hand ranked 136th....and neither South Africa or Nigeria have ever been anywhere close to the most corrupt countries in Africa.

So don't worry mate!!

I don't know about all this stuff all I know is that there is improvement in South Africa's ranking in an area where Nigeria is falling.

Congrats

South Africans and Nigerian are more willing and less fearful of talking about Corruption, we see any form of corruption as a bad thing, and that's why we're so high up, unlike in actually hardcore corrupt Countries where the citizens see it as a normal thing.

The question that was asked was this: "Do you believe corruption is getting worse in your country?". South Africans who were surveyed answered yes. It's a barometer survey that really means nothing. This is a ranking of countries whose citizens believe corruption is getting worse. It is NOT a ranking of the most corrupt countries.

SANDF Rooivalk attack helicopters have launched multiple attacks on Islamic-linked rebel forces in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The Ugandan separatist Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) have been behind a spate of massacres at schools‚ hospitals and villages in the region.South African National Defence Force troops are in the area as part of a United Nations-backed peacekeeping mission to restore stability to the eastern DRC.

The attacks by the SANDF late yesterday were carried out despite the DRC government trying to forbid the UN's actions.Reports indicate that the helicopters caused considerable damage to several of the rebels' bases‚ although exact losses of ADF personnel are unknown.

DieVluit:


As soon as you show us proof of soldiers taking on the attackers. You don't have a monopoly over deliberate silliness. Since you were there to count the fighters on the battlefield. Show us proof.

No one cares about who won the battle. We care only about the fact that they ran. Civilians remained behind to hold the territory. The cowardly soldiers, having been given a lifeline by civilians, came back. Shame on Nigeria.

Your very own source says Nigerian soldiers fought off Bokos and the Bokos ran away, your own source has ruined your argument completely, you shöt yöurself in the foot

"The civilian fighters held Gulak town after soldiers ran away Sunday night until the military sent reinforcements who fought off the extremists former council chairman James Ularamu told The Associated Press."

You don't care about who won the battle because it was Nigerian army that won, so envy and shame is eating up your liver by now
.

Patchesagain:


We have fought insurgencies (Namibia)

And we were able to stop any towns from being taken - and stop SWAPO (PLAN) from establishing any permanent bases in South Africa.

Just because you fail does not mean we fail!

Old time retired or dead apartheid white army fought Namibia, not these new SANDF of black Soweto boys 99% of whom have never killed a rat with rifle and bullet since the day they were born....LOL....SANDF has ZERO experience of urban warfare that they practically fought, not in demo videos of public image making.

The currently experienced armies of modern day African urban warfare are those of Kenya, Uganda, Algeria, Nigeria.

South Africa is NOT in that elite league.

I know the Survey was based on random opinions and not actual facts. I was just mentioning that Nigerians and S.Ans are more fearlessly inclined to talk about the issue of corruption, and that why we ranked so high.

That did not happen.

Did happen in Nigeria though

Past event that has changed, Last year old videos of Gwoza town that is now controlled by Nigerian army.

All those Bokos are now dead, they paid with their lives for infiltrating Gwoza town, we made them pay with their lives, their wives are now widows and their children Fatherless courtesy of Nigerian army bullets.

Whose flag flies in that town in your videos today? Whose flag?

We all know Seleka's flag flies in Bangui where SANDF is afraid to ever go back and redeem their bastardized national pride
.

Ask the M23

Ask your Tanzanian army commander that controls your SANDF....ask your Tanzanian boss

If the Rooivalk hasn't proved its worth by now, I don't know what will!!

Apparently there are 2 countries( excl SA) interested in the Rooivalk, and if I remember correctly a minimum order of 75 units is necessary to restart production.

Personally I feel Denel should partner with an African country as well in developing the Rooivalk 2, and when I say African country I specifically mean Nigeria, they are in need of a dedicated Attack Helo and have the financial and industrial resources to partner South Africa in producing the Rooivalk 2. Opening a production facility in Nigeria could also possibly open a new market for the Rooivalk in North and West Africa.

The 2 countries interested in the Rooivalk(possibly Brazil and Malaysia) will most likely result in an order of 40-60 units, SAAF could do with another 20 Rooivalk and Nigeria would also be looking for 20+ units, thus we have a minimum of 80 orders and a maximum of about 100 units, enough to restart production

Who said BH mission was to.capture the town? .

Show us proof that Boko Haram communicated their mission objective for that town to you.

South African economy and society has been wrecked by the Zulu/Xhosa/Bantu fools, no wonder their apartheid white masters never wanted to hand over power to them, they knew these rëtards will just destroy South African white man's achievements of 300 years in less than 300 months, that is exactly what has happened now....brainless fools and theives now rule South Africa

Yes, no 1 is and that is why nobody is also arguing that Tanzanian military equally outclass South Africa's old sick military.

My source also says the soldiers ran away and that civilians held the territory. So, you've effectively said nothing. That your cowardly soldiers ran away and only came back after civilians helped them out is undeniable and shameful.

1. Those "old men" passed on the knowledge they learnt through training
1a. A man who was 17 in 1989 is how old now?

2. Zero experience in urban warfare?

“I remember when I signed up in 1993. There was a lot of violence in the townships in Johannesburg. We were deployed in Thokoza where there was a lot of fighting between the ANC and the Inkatha. There the ANC fighters would run, shooting wildly towards us as they ran. But we were trained, we have discipline. So we just shot “tsup tsup, tsup tsup”, like that”, he said, pointing his fingers like a rifle. “Those were good days,” he continued. “Exciting days.”

3. We have the most advanced training facilities and training equipment in Africa. Training > Experience

Now the facts remain unchanged:

We have fought insurgencies (Namibia)

And we were able to stop any towns from being taken - and stop SWAPO (PLAN) from establishing any permanent bases in South Africa.

Just because you fail does not mean we fail!
