ActionSA has introduced a proposed law aimed at strengthening anti-corruption measures in South Africa.
The party announced the Zero Tolerance Corruption Bill, which it says is designed to close legal loopholes that allow corruption cases to go unpunished.
According to ActionSA, the bill aims to strengthen accountability and ensure that individuals involved in corruption face clear legal consequences.
What happened
ActionSA has formally introduced the Zero Tolerance Corruption Bill as part of its anti-corruption policy agenda.
The proposed legislation is intended to address weaknesses in existing anti-corruption frameworks and improve the prosecution of corruption cases.
The party says the bill focuses on ending what it describes as a culture of impunity for individuals involved in corruption within both government and the private sector.
The proposal forms part of ActionSA’s broader campaign to strengthen governance and public accountability.
