Promoting ethics amid major change: the South African experience - 1997 - p.363-67 - Sep
The article stress that public administrators are fiduciaries of the public trust, but few studies in South Africa have examined their moral standards, or their attitudes about government ethics. There are few incidents so disproportionately harmful in the public sector as acts of unethical conduct. Public revelations of fraud and corruption can destroy the careers of both politicians and public servants. There are also ethical offences, such as passive resistance, which do not come to public light but which can have stifling effects on the implementation of new programmes
