'Corruption governs SA': Heath

Corruption governs a South Africa led by people who are not serious about fighting it, and steps have to be taken to ensure the country does not "go the same way" as Third World Africa, Judge Willem Heath said on Tuesday.

Heath, the controversial head of the special investigating unit, said the government was not dedicated in the fight against corruption.

"I doubt that they are serious about corruption," he told members of the South Africa/Israel Chamber of Commerce and investigators of the private security firm, Stallion Security, at a function in Johannesburg.

There was a culture of dishonesty in South Africa, said Heath. Only a few members of government were guilty of ignoring corruption, but unfortunately only "a few people were running politics".
