- SA Legal Academy
ActionSA MP Dereleen James has gazetted a notice calling for input to an amendment Bill intended to strengthen the 2004 Prevention & Combatting of Corrupt Activities Act. The deadline for comment is 12 April 2026.
In the form of a procedurally required pre-tabling explanatory memorandum, the notice lists key provisions in the proposed new piece of legislation envisaged, which would:
- introduce mandatory minimum sentences for offences ‘linked to the monetary value of the corruption involved’, and
- lower the threshold for mandatory reporting from R100 thousand to R30 thousand.
This is with the aim of ensuring that penalties for corruption are ‘effective, proportionate and dissuasive’, ‘in line with international best practice’.
