... And justice next door?
Pretoria - South Africa has to remain vigilant against new manifestations of corruption, President Thabo Mbeki said in Pretoria on Tuesday. "...all of us know that those intent on committing crime will continuously seek new ways and means to beat the law enforcement system," he told government, business and civil society representatives. "...we have a particular responsibility to protect the poor and the weak from the corrupt practices of those in powerful positions," he said.
