Anti-corruption
Tshegofatso Matlala 2005 (Boksburg)
Corruption
Corruption, corruption, corruption
It is now a profession
It is spreading like an infection
Needs instant cure and medication
It works like a termite
Eating everything day and night
It is a malicious cancer
Deep rooted, posing a danger
We only talk and enquire
that also with no true desire
We hardly raise our voice
As if we have no choice
Root cause are 'we'
Not they he or she
Let's pledge to fight
To erode this termite....!!!
