Transparency International Zimbabwe (TIZ) has marked the 2025 Africa Anti-Corruption Day with a call for urgent reforms, warning that corruption in Zimbabwe is eroding human dignity and silencing citizens who speak out against it.
The devastating effects of corruption are far-reaching, denying ordinary people access to basic services, economic opportunities, and justice. TIZ highlights the need for people-centered anti-corruption efforts that prioritize restoring justice, trust, and fairness in governance.
To combat corruption, TIZ is demanding three key actions: swift passage of whistleblower and witness protection laws, stronger support for independent anti-corruption institutions, and human rights principles in anti-corruption policies, especially around public procurement and access to services.
Ultimately, TIZ urges the government, civil society, the media, and the public to work together to fight corruption and promote transparency and integrity. The fight against corruption is ultimately a fight for human dignity.
