Japanese conglomerate Hitachi recently paid a $19 million penalty for corruption related to its work with a local partner in South Africa. That case highlighted the FCPA risks associated with South Africa’s local content requirements, but the country also has rigorous anti-corruption, anti-terrorism and data privacy laws that can further influence a company’s assessment of corruption risk and how it performs internal investigations. The Anti-Corruption Report recently spoke with Vlad Movshovich and Meluleki Nzimande of South African law firm Webber Wentzel to learn more about South Africa’s current enforcement environment and what companies need to know in order to manage their anti-corruption risk.
