National Anti-Corruption Forum Statement on the Report by Civil Society on Apartheid Grand Corruption

The National Anti-Corruption Forum (NACF) met on 29 May 2006 to discuss a civil society report on 'Apartheid Grand Corruption'. The NACF welcomed the report as a starting point for education and awareness, noting that the secretive nature of the apartheid state created opportunities for corruption. While the NACF will establish a three-person sub-committee to move the report forward, it clarified that its role is not to handle prosecutions, though it will refer necessary matters to law enforcement agencies.

• The NACF identified that the apartheid state's lack of accountability and secrecy created an environment conducive to corruption, specifically noting the 'inter-generational nature of corruption'.
• The NACF intends to use the report for education and awareness and will form a sub-committee of three people to manage the process, though it will not directly handle prosecutions, instead referring them to law enforcement agencies.
• Business representatives stated that prosecutions should occur where evidence exists, utilizing South African legislation and international treaties, provided all actions remain within the constitutional legal framework.
