As the country is still coming to terms with the contents of former public protector Thuli Madonsela's state of capture report, Afrobarometer has released results of its survey which outlines people's feelings about corruption. The report shows that, though South Africans increasingly support media and citizen oversight over the government, most do not believe that elections are an effective mechanism for holding their leaders accountable. It further revealed that only a slim majority believe that ordinary people can make a difference in the fight against corruption, indicating a need for targeted empowerment efforts.
