South Africans are not unfamiliar with corruption. Many cases have been exposed through investigations and inquiries like the Zondo Commission, Madlanga Commission and the Ad Hoc committee. While the public is well aware of how corruption operates within government and institutions real consequences for those involved are often rare. This raises an important question: If South Africa knows how corruption works, why does accountability remain so limited? Institutions such as the National Prosecuting Authority are meant to ensure justice, yet prosecutions and convictions often take years or never happen. This discussion explores the gap between public awareness of corruption and the lack of meaningful consequences.

To help us reflect on this important theme, we’re joined by Kgabo Ngoepe, also known as Coach Harriet a motivational speaker and life coach who inspires people to live purposefully and lead with compassion
