Respect for the law, policies and regulations is the first step to beating corruption, bad service delivery and a malfunctioning education system in South Africa.

Ethics Institute of South Africa’s Deon Rossouw explained that it is the only way the country can move forward.

He adds that too many public figures hide behind the law or regulations and refuse to take responsibility for their failures.

Rossouw uses the example of the Limpopo textbook crisis, saying there needs to be consequences for non-performance.
