JOHANNESBURG — The African National Congress (ANC) has earned the unenviable tag of being one of the most corrupt organisations in the world.
That is according to a recent ranking gauging the corruption index of businesses, non-profit organisations (NPOs), and political parties worldwide.
ANC Among Top 1% of Most Corrupt Organisations
According to IOL, the algorithm calculates a corruption index based on multiple variables and has ranked the ANC 16th out of 7000.
A social media user, @coolstorybru_za, posted a video on his Instagram account sharing the ranking, further unpacking what informed it.
"The score is calculated based on variables such as the organisation size, age, leadership, etc., to encourage worldwide anti-corruption structural reforms," the online user said.
The site, called MyStick, uses a [specialised] algorithm to evaluate various organisations' corruption levels.
"The ANC has been ranked the 13th most corrupt organisation in the world. More than 7,000 organisations were assessed worldwide. [And], the ANC nearly cracks the top 10. That is insane," he added.
Keen observers have say
Naturally, alarmed and not-so-alarmed locals made a beeline to the comments strip to express their thoughts and opinions about the ranking.
