# The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse says corruption persists due to political inaction and systemic secrecy within government institutions. They believe South Africa is becoming increasingly dysfunctional, with service delivery collapsing, rising inequality, and inaction on corruption. The organisation warns that the state is failing to act on findings from the State Capture Commission, while those implicated in major corruption remain untouched. OUTA CEO Wayne Duvenage says civil society must step in where political will is lacking.
