President Ramaphosa to open National Anti-Corruption Dialogue

President Cyril Ramaphosa will tomorrow, Wednesday, 08 November 2023, deliver the keynote address at the opening session of the National Anti-Corruption Advisory Council’s (NACAC) National Dialogue on building a corruption-free South Africa.

The National Dialogue is themed “Together Building A Corruption-Free Society - Xelela Abanye, Bolella ba Bangwe, Vhudzani Vhanwe, Byelani Vanwani, Tell Others”, and will take place at the Birchwood Hotel and OR Tambo Conference Centre in Boksburg, Gauteng.

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 (NACS) 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 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.

The two-day National Dialogue brings together a spectrum of stakeholders and social partners who are engaged in consequence management for past corruption – including the gross instances identified by the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture – and in developing new anti-corruption measures and movements.

The Dialogue and the multi-sectoral mobilisation of the advisory council is a contribution to the development objectives of the Constitution and the National Development Plan as espoused through the National Anti-corruption Strategy (NACS).
