A great start to fighting corruption in South Africa and Ukraine. Thanks for the exposition. Such procedures to control , expose and reduce corruption shud be applied by all countries and corporations struggling with corruption. Such processes & procedures include : empowering & protecting whistleblowers, holding the culprits into account and preparing and appointing ethical leaders. A great article.
Came across this video because I am currently trying to fight corruption here in Peru (as an American citizen) as my aunts have paid a lot of money to individuals within government to change assets into their name and keep the majority of my inheritance.

Money talks. There should be a bounty for whistleblowers to claim for the successful prosecution of wrongdoers. This would offset the risks that whistleblowers face. The successful prosecution part would help ensure proper procedure is followed, and that cases don't get thrown out of court. Hopefully it would lead to education about how to go about whistleblowing.

I say this as a Brazilian that sees many politicians that still have connections inside our supreme court not only not exposing anything, but being sentenced with absurdly light sentences and being freed by that same supreme court a few weeks or months later as if nothing ever happened (although this whistleblowing tactic worked wonders, as soon as it lost public eye or became common occurance -given the size of the corruption here- the population went back to not caring about those matters and the supreme court started freeing those cleptocrats like I said before).

I can say rewarding wistleblowers work. Not spectacularly, but it is the best option we have ate the moment. Brazil, Italy and some others have started using this (some in a distorted way, like Brazil's way of negotiating with corrupt politicians so they either blow the wistle or have a "severe" setence); the only problem, which was not brought out by The Economist is that that strategy only works if you can guarantee that the people who are corrupt will be punished after being caught, and that is honestly the hardest part of it all because corruption only exists where overseers and regulators (like judges and prosecutors) are either involved or turn a blind eye. I say this as a Brazilian that sees many politicians that still have connections inside our supreme court not only not exposing anything, but being sentenced with absurdly light sentences and being freed by that same supreme court a few weeks or months later as if nothing ever happened (although this whistleblowing tactic worked wonders, as soon as it lost public eye or became common occurance -given the size of the corruption here- the population went back to not caring about those matters and the supreme court started freeing those cleptocrats like I said before).
