How corrupt is South Africa?

Since the ANC took power, corrupt officials are said to have stolen a staggering $50bn.

Protesters have marched in Pretoria, Capetown and Durban, denouncing rampant corruption.  

The anti-corruption activists say the march was in support of transparent funding models for South Africa’s political parties. They say there is a need to bring an end to state-owned enterprises being used to benefit corrupt individuals.

Since the African National Congress (ANC) took over, corrupt officials are said to have stolen a staggering $50bn.
