Web-Seminar – ‘Rethinking Corruption’!

Corruption remains a major challenge to democracy in South Africa.

Corruption remains a major challenge to democracy in South Africa. The Covid 19 pandemic has seen an escalation of media reports on corruption, particularly the rampant looting of public resources – mainly relief funds targeted towards the fights against the coronavirus – by the political and business elite.  The Department of Sociology and Anthropology (University of Fort Hare), in partnership with Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung South Africa (FES-SA) invites you to a web-seminar under the theme ‘RETHINKING CORRUPTION’. The seminar challenges the prevailing views on corruption in South Africa’s democratic era. This web-seminar is part of the Fort Hare Friday Seminar Series (FHFSS).  Date: Friday 21 August 2020
