Some good news! Our government is sometimes not given enough credit for how serious it is about fighting corruption, so you’ll be glad to know that the National Treasury keeps a register of tender defaulters, created under the Prevention & Combating of Corrupt Activities Act of 2004. And the state is prohibited by law from awarding contracts to companies on this register.
Take that, bad guys!..
