Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng says South Africa, the rest of the continent and the rest of the world will not be able to defeat corruption unless the narrative that it is a"black thing" is debunked.
Mogoeng was delivering a very frank 67-minute keynote lecture on the eve of former president Nelson Mandela's birthday. "Every human being is capable of being corrupt and believe you me, we have not even scratched the surface of the magnitude that [is] obtained in the private sector," he added, to loud applause.
"I mean, the shenanigans that we have seen ought to convince us that human infallibility obtains that you will find corruption anywhere," he said. "We will get this country right if we are determined to not be told who is clean and who is dirty. We are going to research it ourselves and where there is smoke, we will follow it up to its logical conclusion," he explained.The chief justice recounted an article from an unnamed Sunday newspaper to the congregants, to prove his point as to how narratives can be fed to citizens."There was a man being projected as a drunk.
CannyMaphanga Definitely not a black thing, but the ancorrupt did make an art of it. They definitely qualify for an award.
