Despite measurable progress, the anti-corruption process in South Africa is proceeding slowly. Corruption continues to manifest itself in all areas of society, in the public and private sectors, undermining public trust in the government as well as investor confidence. With the help of a more efficient anti-corruption architecture and a stronger focus on prevention, this can be changed. Efficient and transparent public procurement is one essential area in working towards this objective.
