Corruption Watch’s executive director Karam Singh shares his thoughts and reflections on 2024, in this letter to the organisation’s supporters.


Dear supporter

2024 was an impactful and intense year for Corruption Watch (CW) – not only for our team, but for the country, and all those working to end corruption. With our landmark elections and the possibility for driving even more effective anti-corruption reforms, our advocacy going forward is more critical and urgent to make the most of the new opportunities post-elections. 

Creating a more protective environment for whistle-blowing in South Africa remains paramount, and together with a range of civil society and other organisations, our team has worked towards improving legislative and support measures. CW has continued to work on a range of projects relating to procurement reform, leadership appointments, monitoring of Zondo commission recommendations and state-capture related initiatives etc, land and corruption, and ensuring integrity in the funding of initiatives related to the just energy transition. In addition, we have started to engage in important work relating to gender and corruption and the scourge of sexual corruption. 

Thank you for making some of these pivotal moments in our work this year possible through your ongoing support for CW, and for being a part of this incredible community. Your support for and interest in what we do makes us that much more committed to intensifying our efforts. We look forward to continuing our journey with you next year, as we keep up the good fight to rid our country of the scourge of corruption. 

Sincerely, 

Karam Jeet Singh 

Executive director: Corruption Watch
