Apartheid Grand Corruption Report Remains Under Embargo
Cape Town, 20 April 2006

 

Attention: News Editors
Release Immediate

The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) Corruption & Governance Programme has authored a report on Grand Corruption under apartheid on behalf of civil society for submission to the National Anti-Corruption Forum (NACF). This was in terms of a resolution of the 2nd National Anti-Corruption Summit held in March 2005.

It has come to the attention of the ISS that the contents of a draft copy of the report (marked “Under Embargo”) have been reported on by both the print and electronic media. This report remains under embargo as the report is still being finalised. A National Anti-Corruption Forum meeting on Thursday 20 April 2006  agreed that the report will be the subject of discussion at a special NACF meeting in May 2006. Civil Society will publish the report on a date to be advised after that meeting.

All editors are pleased asked to respect the embargo until further notice from the ISS.
