Normalised, systemic corruption in South Africa has become deeply entrenched across public and private sectors, and society at large. It has evolved from grand-scale looting to "everyday" bribery, nepotism, and patronage in our everyday lives. This normalisation of corruption has resulted in public apathy, a breakdown in service delivery, and a culture where corruption is viewed as unavoidable and a normal way of life in the country.

AFTER 8 IS AFTER 8: SOUTH AFRICA’S CULTURE OF CORRUPTION

South Africans could be allowed to carry up-to 750 grams of cannabis for personal use according to new draft regulations published by The Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Development.
The department is asking for public comment on the regulations in terms of the Cannabis for Private Purposes Act of 2024. The draft regulations form part of the ongoing process to get the Act
signed into law by the president. It’s been seven years since the Constitutional Court decriminalised the private use and cultivation of cannabis by adults, and while retailers of such products have mushroomed all over the country, questions remain about what’s legal and what’s not when it comes to the consumption of cannabis.

Since the publication of the first Organized Crime Index in 2019, South Africa has consistently been ranked among the top 10 most criminal countries. High criminality, weakened law enforcement, and transnational connections are some of the factors making the country attractive for fugitives and
international criminal networks to do their dirty business in. Have we become a safe haven for fugitives and what makes us vulnerable to international crime syndicates?
