Addressing corruption is crucial to strengthening South Africa’s future.

The Accountability Tracker deepens knowledge about corruption in South Africa. It collaborates with policymakers, practitioners, and the public to offer tailored anti-corruption responses rooted in lessons from local and global experience.

The Antidote Podcast

South Africa is celebrated in other parts of the world for its anti-corruption efforts, even though South Africans feel ‘battered by stories of corruption, organised crime, greed, and the involvement of powerful people.’
Cheryl Frank, who runs the anti-corruption and accountability project at the Institute for Security Studies, speaks with various experts, leaders and professionals on The Antidote, a new podcast series.
