Anti-Corruption
RICSA has become involved in various processes
dealing with the moral fibre of the
nation. Besides contributing to background
preparation for the Moral Summit held in 1998, in
which religious and political leaders in South
Africa signed a Moral Code, Prof. James Cochrane
has also been working with the Public Services
Commission (PSC). The PSC was assigned the task
of organising the Public Sector Anti-Corruption
Conference held in Parliament in October 1998,
and the National Anti-Corruption Summit held in
Parliament in April of 1999. Besides evaluating
the first meeting with John de Gruchy and
Professor Annette Seegers of UCTs
Department of Political Studies, an article by
Cochrane on Corruption and the Role of
Religion in Public Life will shortly be
published in a book of essays commissioned by the
PSC. The evaluation itself has also now been
published by the PSC. There are indications that
this involvement will continue.
