Corruption is a world-wide phenomenon. In 1989 the Advocate-general of South Africa suggested that consideration should be given to the introduction of legislation similar to the 1978 USA Ethics in Government Act. A g a in s t this background , corruption in the public sector is discussed in general. This is followed by an analyse is of the present position in the U SA and South Africa regarding the disclosure and prevention of corruption. In conclusion it is recommended that the Advocate-General's functions should be extended to be in accordance to that of an ombudsman and that legislation providing for the disclosure and suppression of corruption should be introduced.
