Key insights
- The National Anti-Corruption Forum (NACF) reviewed a civil society report on Apartheid Grand Corruption, which was produced following a resolution from the Second National Anti-Corruption Summit in March 2005. The NACF noted that the secretive and unaccountable nature of the apartheid state created conditions that allowed corruption to occur and highlighted the inter-generational nature of the issue.
- The NACF intends to use the report for education and awareness and will form a three-person sub-committee to manage the report's progress. While the NACF does not view its role as managing prosecutions, it will refer relevant considerations to law enforcement agencies. Business representatives emphasized that any prosecutions must occur within the legal framework of the Constitution and utilize South African legislation and international treaties.
- The South African government described the report as a useful starting point for engagement and one of several projects within the National Anti-corruption Programme, noting that government departments are currently reviewing various aspects of the report.
