"Africans inherited corruption"

According to the 'Sunday Times Independent' published on the 19th of March 2012, "Post-independent African countries inherited deeply corrupt institutions, laws and values from colonial and apartheid governments". Instead of changing these laws for the better considering the fact that today most African nations  follow democratic policies  consisting of  diverse  cultures, we are slowly destroying Africa through corruption, and although we might not see the effects at the present moment, I fear that in the near future our Economy will collapse due to financial loses.

In February this year , South Africa announced its first trillion-rand Budget and the first thing businessman Richard Young said was that he wondered how  how much of the money would leak out of the economy through corruption. “I can guarantee that between 20 and 30 percent of it will be lost to corruption,” Young says.

We are all aware of corruption and have surely come across or have been involved in it somehow...and while millions and millions of rands  are being lost through corruption , someone out there is dying of hunger because in order for a country to provide for its  people ( social grants) it has to be financially stable.Instead of taking from the poor...lets give something back. For any donations you would like to make ,please visit :http:// www.actionagainsthunger.org.
