"This book assesses landmark empirical studies and court cases of state capture, corruption, and fraud in South Africa's public sector. Bringing together some of the best minds in the subject, the book pushes critical thinking to interrogate interventions that could stamp out and stop the rot of corruption in society. The book investigates the behaviours of officials and politicians engaging in acts of corruption and considers how state institutions have been captured and corrupted by these people. Considering South Africa's historical and regional context, the book also considers the role of watchdogs, auditors and public opinion. In suggesting mechanisms for combating and preventing corruption, the book ultimately advocates for long-lasting preventive interventions instead of the current short-lived and costly approaches to combatting corruption. Combining original empirical studies, case law examination, and desk research, this book will be of interest to researchers and policymakers working on governance, corruption, law, public administration and ethics"--
