Mpumalanga Premier Mandla Ndlovu urged G20 nations to strengthen public institutions and deepen cooperation to curb crime and corruption at the G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group Ministerial Meeting in Skukuza, Kruger National Park, on Thursday, Oct. 31, 2025. He framed integrity, faster asset recovery, and stronger whistle-blower protection as shared goals. His remarks came as South Africa prepares to assume the G20 presidency on Dec. 1, 2024, and amid domestic scandals that have weakened public trust.
The three-day meeting, which ended Thursday, gathered delegates to discuss public sector integrity and practical safeguards. Mpumalanga highlighted digital procurement and training for officials as examples of provincial reforms. Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi outlined national steps tied to the Special Investigating Unit and the National Anti-Corruption Strategy. Ndlovu argued that resilient institutions prevent crises and that global partnerships can help return stolen funds. The call aligns with pressure at home after cases at entities such as the Road Accident Fund and testimony before the State Capture inquiries and the Madlanga Commission on police graft. South Africa aims to use the forum to advance measures that promote accountability and steady service delivery.
