Recording: Webinar on Report Launch & Dialogue on Combating Corruption in Local Government

Corruption is a key topic in the local government elections of 1 November 2021. The Dullah Omar Institute compiled a report on the legal framework for combating corruption in municipalities. It also surveyed the experience of local government stakeholders in the Western Cape with addressing corruption.

The report was commissioned by the Western Cape Department of Local Government and supported by the Hanns Seidel Foundation. It was compiled by Prof Jaap de Visser, Ms Jennica Beukes, Ms Thabile Chonco and Prof Tinashe Chigwata.

The report gives an overview of manifestations of corruption in local government, as well as the experience of local government stakeholders in detecting, investigating and prosecuting allegations of corruption, involving local government officials and councillors.
