New Agenda asks COSATU: What is the state of our nation?

Abstract

Ben Turok wrote in New Agenda five years ago: “Economic crime is at a ‘pandemic level’ in South Africa … asset misappropriation … procurement fraud … bribery and corruption … As much as we applaud the anti-corruption stance of Pravin Gordhan, our brave minister of finance, we seem to be running up an escalator that is quickly moving down – a modern version of Sisyphus.
