Welcome to the State Capture and Beyond campaign, an ambitious nationwide initiative dedicated to combating corruption and fostering accountability in South Africa. Spearheaded by the Legal Resources Centre (LRC) and the Human Rights Media Trust (HRMT), in partnership with Brot für die Welt (BfdW) and co-funded by the European Union, this campaign seeks to address the pervasive issue of state capture and promote informed public participation in governance.
Our mission is to empower citizens, support vulnerable groups, and ensure transparency in public processes through strategic activities and coalition-building efforts. Join us in our journey to create a transparent, accountable, and integrity-driven South Africa. Together, we can move beyond state capture and build a brighter future for all.
Through the voices of affected communities and advocates, the three case studies and two explainer videos in this series expose how corruption severely undermines basic rights, and profiles how people are standing up to reclaim them.
