Former International Relations Minister Naledi Pandor has called on government to take a tougher stance against corrupt public servants.
Pandor delivered the annual public lecture hosted by SAfm in Boksburg on Gauteng's East Rand yesterday , on strides government has made 30 years into democracy.
She says South Africans must find community-based ways of shunning those who practice corruption.
Pandor says, "Politicians accused of corruption and those who fail to explain satisfactorily must be shunned by communities so that they know that we are intolerant of criminals. This includes gangsters and tsotsis criminals. Corruption is a cancer and no society that permits its existence can survive.
