On the 9th December 2024, the South African government, led by the National Anti-Corruption Advisory Council (NACAC), the Public Service Commission (PSC) and partners will join the world in commemorating International Anti-Corruption Day. This event will be followed on 10 December by a second National Dialogue on building a corruption-free South Africa, following last year’s inaugural event.

The Minister for the Public Service and Administration, Inkosi Mzamo Buthelezi, MP is expected to deliver the keynote address.

Members of the media are invited to cover both events as follows:

Notes to the editor:

The National Anti-Corruption Advisory Council is a multi-sectoral advisory body appointed by President Ramaphosa in August 2022 to oversee the implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy and to advise on the future of the country’s anti-corruption institutional architecture.

The National Anti-Corruption Strategy is a whole-of-society effort that envisions an ethical and accountable state, business and society characterised by high levels of transparency, integrity, and respect for the rule of law.

It promotes active citizenry that is empowered to hold leaders and organisations accountable. It foresees a state where all members of society have zero tolerance for corruption and commits all stakeholders and citizens to an anti-corruption compact.

Members of the media interested in covering the International Anti-Corruption Day and National Dialogue sessions are requested to forward their details to  bathabile@gcis.gov.za by 14h00 on the 8th December 2024.
