Corruption: South Africa not as bad as Brazil, Russia, China, India
With scores of 9.3 out of 10, Denmark, New Zealand and Singapore are the world's least corrupt countries, according to a new index from Transparency International, an anti-corruption watchdog. At the other end of the table, Somalia ranks bottom with a score of 1.1, ahead of Afghanistan and Myanmar. Worryingly, Brazil, Russia, India and China—the BRICs currently considered the global engine for economic growth—all score less than 4.
