# The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development Working Group on Bribery says South Africa has made progress in fighting foreign bribery, despite past damage caused by State capture. Its Phase 4 report highlights stronger investigations, legal reforms, and cross-border cooperation. Since 2014, South Africa has opened 18 bribery cases but still faces challenges in its 14 ongoing investigations. However, OECD welcomes whistleblower protections and urges enhanced detection, prosecution, and corporate accountability ahead of SA’s 2027 OECD compliance report.
