5 things South Africa's new president Ramapahosa should do without delay

Man protests against corruption — The South African

Corruption

The public is gradually losing confidence in the state following corruption allegations that have been levelled at public officers over the years. Even though the country has a stronger judiciary, many do not have trust in the police, who are largely seen as corrupt – taking bribes from drivers for minor offences, and so on. Corruption, which has affected public finances, must, therefore, be given the swift attention it deserves. “Cyril Ramaphosa inherits an alarming mess from Jacob Zuma,” said Ben Payton, head of Africa research for Verisk Maplecroft as quoted by ABC News, adding that the new leader must restore confidence in the troubled mining sector and end the corruption around state-owned enterprises. Some South Africans have already called on their new president to set up an anti-corruption unit where people will be given the platform to expose corruption cases.
