Statement: CSNAC / TI Meeting Calls for a Coordinated Response to Grand Corporate Corruption

A media statement from a meeting convened by the Civil Society Network Against Corruption (CSNAC) and Transparency South Africa in Cape Town on 13 April 2006, addressing large-scale private sector corruption and failures in corporate governance.

• The meeting identified a pattern of large-scale private sector corruption, citing the Kebble saga as the most recent in a series of scandals that also included Masterbond, Leisurenet, and MacMed. To address these recurring failures in corporate governance, the group intends to initiate a dialogue with the JSE and SARS.
• There is significant concern regarding the lack of whistleblowers in recent corporate scandals. Despite the 2nd National Anti-Corruption Summit in March 2005 calling for stronger whistleblower legislation, the group notes that there has been little progress on this issue in the subsequent twelve months.
• The group expressed concern over the undermining of democratic institutions and public trust caused by the purchase of influence within political parties and the judiciary, specifically highlighting the payment of judges by private companies.
• The statement critiques the Parliamentary Ethics Committee for discussing the Auditor-General's report on systemic contravention of disclosure requirements in a closed session. The group is concerned that tens of thousands of civil servants hold private sector interests that may conflict with the public interest, an issue they wish to refer to the NACF.
