The Border Management and Immigration Anti-Corruption Forum (BMIACF) will host its quarterly anti-corruption campaign at OR Tambo International Airport on Friday.
The BMIACF is chaired by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) and seeks to proactively root out corruption from South Africa’s ports of entry.
The Border Management Authority Commissioner, Dr Michael Masiapato, together with the SIU Head, Leonard Lekgetho, and Home Affairs Director General, Tommy Makhode, together with representatives from other government institutions, will lead the campaign.
“The leaders will demonstrate their commitment to fighting corruption by publicly signing a pledge to take a firm stand against corruption, while also calling on officials at this port of entry to emulate their lead,” the Border Management Authority (BMA) said in a statement.
On the day, incarcerated offenders who have been sentenced on charges of fraud and corruption related activities will share the human and financial cost of engaging in corrupt activities.
In addition, the Hawks will share details on how the entity is cracking down on corruption at ports of entry, while also sharing conviction statistics. – SAnews.gov.za
