South Africa’s Biggest Corporate Scandals Explained – From Steinhoff to State Capture
Ever wonder what those shiny logos are hiding? Spoiler: They’re cooking more than just the books.
This week on Politically Aweh, our host KG Mokgadi is diving deep into the messy world of private sector corruption—and trust us, it’s not just government officials having all the shady fun! With help from a “career guidance counsellor” at the South African Institute of Crony Accountants and Other Professionals, we’re spilling the tea on how companies like Steinhoff and Tongaat Hulett cooked their books so well, it’s a miracle they didn’t open their own restaurant chain.
From pension fund robbery to auditing "oopsies", find out how these corporate crooks pulled off South Africa’s biggest heists—while their auditors turned a blind eye (or maybe two).
