90% of South Africans said they felt corruption had become a way of life in South Africa

South Africans that are willing to commit corrupt acts are also against corruption in society, the findings of a survey released on Monday by TNS Research Surveys indicated. 90% of South Africans said they felt corruption had become a way of life in South Africa, and 85% believed there was corruption in senior levels of government. 90% of adults in metro areas also said corruption should be eliminated. However one in five adults said they were happy to buy pirated DVDs and CDS and a quarter knew people who had bought stolen goods. Four out of ten said they would keep the money if a cashier or teller gave them R50 too much.
