| Abstract | State capture has become institutionalised and entrenched in South Africa. The proliferation of discourse, debate, and interactions concerning state capture has compelled, inter alia, lawmakers, policymakers, scholars, and stakeholders to investigate the phenomenon. Consequently, the country can either continue its descent into spoils politics or revert to a stronger constitutional democracy. The article adopted the qualitative research methodology and draws from an extensive review of the existing literature, for example, journals, media articles and books and explore ways in which state capture and ethical issues have manifested in South Africa. In conclusion, the resuscitation and recapitalisation of the anti-corruption mechanisms and the timely retribution of all parties implicated in state capture is recommended. |
