INTRODUCTION
“It always seems impossible until it’s done. »
– Nelson Mandela
Corruption feeds failed states. Citizens globally have a responsibility to implement preventative measures because the consequences thereof affect all (Cockcroft 2014:231). There is a need to pause, reflect and propose sustainable solutions when the consequences of corruption threaten the developmental goals of South Africa. The basis is to create integrity among various jurisdictions through the actual implementation of existing professional ethics and anti-corruption legislation. It is essential that professional ethics and anti-corruption legislation are implemented properly within the Social Sector Cluster in the Gauteng Province to realise the provincial vision of an advanced, approachable and exciting government which considers its people central in decision-making.
Adherence to existing legislation is associated with the liberal approach which according to Lawson (2009:74), comprises of minimising prospects for unethical behaviour and tightening consequence management with the overall intention of exposing those involved in these deeds. Webb (2016:20) advises that studies on corruption have a potential to contribute towards not only reducing opportunities for corruption, but also enhance much needed social and economic growth, specifically in developing states. This advice is acquiring increasing traction in South Africa when one considers the consequences of corruption, particularly when developmental programmes that are intended to address the basic services are not implemented. Hence, the long-term benefits of adherence to existing professional ethics and anti-corruption legislation will contribute towards one of the objectives of positioning the Gauteng Province as the leading economy on the continent that is underpinned by sustainable economic development.
