Corruption Watch intends to ensure that the custodians of public resources act responsibly to advance the interests of the public.

By shining a light on corruption and those who act corruptly, we promote transparency and accountability and protect the beneficiaries of public goods and services.

Corruption weakens institutions, criminalises individuals and undermines social solidarity. Corruption Watch will provide tools of support for a more engaged and active civil society in South Africa.

Each act of corruption that is prevented by our citizens underpins and fortifies civil society and thereby enhances democracy, the rule of law and the establishment of a more caring and just society.
