Corruptababble

Synopsis

Is poverty caused by thieving politicians, third world gangsters and a global crimewave? No, but our obsession with corruption in Africa is endemic. So say Brendon and Yolanda, two young South Africans who are sick of the finger pointing. This powerful documentary suggests it is time to ditch the corruptababble.
