Organised crime in Southern Africa: First annual review

The 'Organised crime in Southern Africa: First annual review' presents qualitative research findings from 2008 regarding organised criminal activities across 12 southern African countries, highlighting the transnational nature of high-impact crimes and the pervasive role of corruption.

• The report identifies that the most serious forms of organised crime, measured by potential harm or monetary value, are transnational, involving multiple nationalities and affecting more than one country.
• Corruption is identified as a fundamental underpinning of organised crime in most countries, serving either as a facilitating activity or as an organised criminal activity itself.
• The most common forms of organised crime identified are stock theft, the cultivation of marijuana, the theft or hijacking of motor vehicles, and various economic crimes. While economic crimes may be less prevalent than other types, they have far-reaching impacts on the economy and society.
