We spoke to Michael Marchant, Head of Investigations at Open Secrets, about the “Who Owns South Africa?” (WOSA) series. Its first profile, The System: Money, Power and Politics, explores how concentrated wealth and corporate dominance influence policy, deepen inequality, and hinder social progress. By highlighting the gap between the elite and millions dependent on social grants, the series seeks to promote transparency, empower citizens, and hold powerful actors accountable.
