South Africa’s National Council of Provinces has made significant strides in promoting transparency and accountability in the country’s political system. Two reports were approved, focusing on ethical codes and disclosures of member interests, with harsher penalties suggested for violators. The revised code also aims to tackle ethical issues in social media and proposes riskprofile lifestyle audits. These measures aim to create a more trustworthy and accountable governance system, serving as a model for ethical conduct and representing a key advancement in the political evolution of the nation.
