Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A survey conducted by the Human Sciences Research Council has found that 62% of South Africans believe that almost all politicians are involved in corruption.<\/p>\n

The survey also showed that 49% experienced government officials asking them or a family friend for a bribe or a favour in return for a service.<\/p>\n

The HSRC conducted this data-capturing initiative in its social attitudes survey series. The surveys were completed in 2021, 2022 and mid-2023.<\/p>\n

The data collected involved online and in-person interviews of 2 837 and 3 105 people.<\/p>\n

The surveys were conducted based on a series linked to perceptions of corruption in the country amid the post-publication of the state capture report.<\/p>\n

Researchers Ben Roberts and Ngqapheli Mchunu presented the findings at the HSRC event on Thursday in Pretoria, marking a year since the final state capture report was presented to President Cyril Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n

Another question asked of respondents was about cadre deployment, a topic of much interest to the Zondo Commission.<\/p>\n

The commission, headed by Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, had flagged concerns about how the ANC’s cadre deployment strategies may have influenced the corruption that plagued state-owned enterprises during the peak of state capture.<\/p>\n

The DA is currently fighting a court battle with the ANC over the governing party’s cadre deployment meeting minutes.<\/p>\n

The survey participants were asked whether they believed that cadre deployment directly influenced the probability of corruption.<\/p>\n

The survey found:<\/p>\n

The survey also gauged the impact of the state capture reports on South Africans.<\/p>\n

The outcomes showed that in 2022, 37% felt not enough was being done to prosecute those involved in state capture. While 27% said enough was being done, the remainder were undecided over the probability for prosecutions.<\/p>\n

“The proportion believing that not enough is being done increased by 9% between 2021 and 2022.”<\/p>\n

The survey was conducted ahead of the release of the state capture report.<\/p>\n

The question on whether the commission had performed a good or bad job saw 27% agree that it had done its work effectively.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 19% of those surveyed registered discontent with the commission’s work.<\/p>\n

The remainder of respondents, 48%, were neutral or uncertain.<\/p>\n

Mchunu said:<\/p>\n

Mchunu said that, based on the survey outcomes, it was clear that the successful implementation of the state capture report’s recommendations was vital to maintaining faith in the justice system.<\/p>\n

Zondo, in his address at the HSRC event, decried what he viewed as a lack of movement in applying the recommendations of the commission.<\/p>\n

He said the possibility of state capture was very likely again because nothing had changed.<\/p>\n
