More than 500 people, most of them government officials, were convicted of corruption in the past financial year, said Ronald Lamola, minister of justice and correctional services.

“We are also now able to develop and populate a database that tracks and monitors the finalisation of femicide, child murder and crimes affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex people,” he said.

Painting a picture of erosion of the rule of law, he gave an anecdote from his childhood, in which community leaders used available resources to sustain their people. “Today, for the smallest road maintenance works we go out to tender, generally at a huge cost.
