In South Africa, the fight against corruption is finally leading to arrests. On 17-Aug-2020, the Hawks arrested 5 Free State government officials. This makes 7 arrests so far in the corruption, fraud and money-laundering case linked to the infamous Vrede dairy farm case and the Free State Department of Agriculture, under the leadership of controversial ANC politicians Ace Magashule and Mosebenzi Zwane.  https://blog.fraudcracker.com/5-government-officials-arrested-in-fraud-case-linked-to-vrede-dairy-farm-and-department-of-agriculture/ #anticorruption #Hawks

Globally, women are setting the bar on how to lead effectively in a crisis. Countries with women leaders have had 6x fewer Covid-19 deaths than those led by men, and will recover sooner from recession. Yet the global average for women in national parliaments is only 25%, and female representation on boards is still low worldwide. Will the positive results in the pandemic make us more willing to have women leaders? https://blog.fraudcracker.com/will-we-see-more-women-leaders-because-of-the-pandemic/ #womenleaders
