Corruption and social grants in South Africa

Institute for Security Studies (Sydafrika) Andile. Sokomani Trusha. Reddy

(Trusha Reddy and Andile Sokomani., Corruption in the provision of social grants has long been a vexing issue in South Africa. Efforts by the State to grapple with the problem commenced in the late 1980s. However it was not until early 2005 that the most aggressive anti-corruption efforts began when the Department of Social Development appointed the Special Investigating Unit, a state anti-corruption agency, to clean up the country's national social assistance system and identify fraudulent grant recipients. The campaign has been widely publicised and its achievements have drawn positive reports in the media. This monograph takes a critical reassessment of the campaign and highlights some of the interventions that can be improved upon. It is argued that ultimately the problem is not only about how to prevent illegal access to the social assistance system, but also about how to fully incorporate those unduly excluded from it. It may therefore be pertinent for the government to prioritise more holistic governance reforms which go beyond the necessary but possibly inadequate anti-fraud and anti-corruption initiatives., Includes bibliographical references (p. 85-89))
