Abstract	The healthcare systems of Zimbabwe and South Africa confront numerous challenges, with corruption emerging as a significant concern. Despite the introduction of various anti-corruption strategies, the persistence of corruption remains a substantial obstacle in both nations. Notably, there exists a gap in the academic literature, as prior research has not assessed the effectiveness of these strategies within the two countries. This study adopts a qualitative case study approach, utilising both primary and secondary data to evaluate the efficacy of anti-corruption strategies in the healthcare systems of Zimbabwe and South Africa. A SWOT analysis framework was employed to identify the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats associated with the anti-corruption initiatives. The findings revealed the prevalence of institutional capture, a lack of political will, and deficiencies in whistleblower protection mechanisms in both countries. The study advocates for a review of whistleblower legislation in Zimbabwe and South Africa, the implementation of targeted awareness campaigns, and the enhancement of capabilities within anti-corruption institutions.
