In its first month, Corruption Watch received 500 complaints from the public, the organisation said yesterday.

Complaints about municipalities, traffic officers and the health sector featured the most prominently. The non-profit organisation was started by Cosatu in January.

About a third of the cases involved industrial relations and consumer issues. It also received service complaints.

The organisation is to release a report next month on corruption in the Joburg metro police department.

 Complaints can be reported to www.corruptionwatch.org.za  or info@corruptionwatch.org.za  or by SMS to 45142.
