Gcaleka urges churches to help combat corruption

Public Protector Kholeka Gcaleka has urged churches to assist in the fight against corruption by reporting suspicious financial contributions received as donations. At the Saint Paul African Apostolic Church's Annual Feast in Moletsane, Soweto, Gcaleka emphasized the importance of faith-based organisations in identifying illicit financial flows.

Gcaleka stated, "We really need the assistance of the church to identify illicit financial flows. It is money that is untraceable, and we do know that some of that money people bring it to the church." This appeal comes as part of a broader effort to combat corruption and ensure transparency in financial transactions. The Public Protector's call to action is particularly timely, given the ongoing challenges posed by corruption in South Africa.
