It reduces the Government’s income, and creates inequalities in distribution of income and wealth. Corruption affects a nation’s development, economically, socially and politically.  Corruption may come in many forms, often in politics and sport. Politicians on a quite regular basis have been found guilty of corruption, as with sports persons. Politicians use unethical techniques to gain an advantage in an election, to gain more money, votes or to acquire ungotten wealth. There is corruption in the police force, in law and order and even in the management of the Olympic Games. The infamous episode of match-fixing in cricket was also a case of corruption. Similar is the case with sports persons caught using drugs. Corruption is caused mainly by the desires of power and want. Corruption creates a negative atmosphere. Detrimental corruption does not bring about any good, As Shakespeare said,”The best things corrupted become the worst.”  Corruption begins at home. Parents use baits to make children listen to them.

You say so just that crime and corrupion is failing us to achieve more good things in life and now even our youth are on drugs yet increasing the rate of crime so at the end we are left with people who cant contribute on our economy worse part that gives a bad image to our country and the world

Tshepang don't do wrong because you saw someone doing that let the elders do that you must lead by example to them
Comment by tshepang mapeka on February 20, 2016 at 9:24pm

Bobsa its so hard but what I think is we need to learn from the elders but now how can we learn when the're the ones corrupted so thus a beat a challenge but i cant hide from the fact that you just raised that we are the future leaders of tomorrow i suggest we create groups and do reseach on how to be good leaders and follow the steps of those leaders who have shown good leadership like Tata Mandela who once said if bad things are learned they can also be unlearned
