South Africa, 1994 to 2026. The country with one of the world's most admired constitutions became, on one index, the seventh most criminal of 193, and the line between its underworld and its state was hard to find. A police commissioner who led Interpol was convicted of corruption. A judicial commission found that a business family helped capture ministries and state companies. A rural bank of burial societies was looted; its chairman went to prison. A retailer's profits proved inflated. A hospital accountant who followed the money was shot; nobody has been charged with paying her killers. Covers Jackie Selebi and Glenn Agliotti, the Gupta brothers and Oakbay, Angelo Agrizzi and Bosasa, Tshifhiwa Matodzi and VBS Mutual Bank, Markus Jooste and Steinhoff, and Vusimuzi Matlala and the Madlanga Commission.
