How good to see the Church recognised as a moral leader! May it lead by example, and make available to us in SA, and the rest of Africa, its “mechanism for engaging strategic stakeholders and the general public to evolve a strong anti-corruption culture and participate in the fight against corruption”. God knows we need it!
