SA Urged to Improve on the Ibrahim Index

Public Protector, Thuli Madonsela, has discredited Public Works Minister Gwen Mahlangu-Nkabinde's protestations of innocence.

Madonsela states that South Africa's fifth place on the Ibrahim Index is not grounds for the country to rest on its laurels.

Opening the Public Protector's Good Governance Conference in Pretoria, Madonsela also said that while South Africa had come fifth on the index, its score has only improved by a mere half a percent since 2008.

"It's a good starting point. It's not a cause to relax," she explained.
