The Youth Against Corruption (YAC) team recently engaged about 220 students of City Business and Secondary College (CIBUSCO) in an interactive session on real-life corruption scenarios. The discussion was energetic and reflective, with students openly sharing opinions, debating grey areas, and questioning what truly constitutes corrupt behaviour.

The YAC team outlined the mandate of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and highlighted the vital role citizens, especially young people, play in reporting suspected corruption. Students were introduced to Ubuntu; an African philosophy centred on communalism and empathy and were shown how corruption undermines these values by prioritising personal gain over collective well-being.

The talk also explored the broader impact of corruption on society and emphasised the importance of whistleblowing in promoting accountability and good governance. The introduction of the YAC initiative generated strong interest, with many students eager to sign up and join the movement.

During the Q&A session, students asked thoughtful and challenging questions, including inquiries about current investigations. Even after the program ended, many stayed behind to share more ideas and seek further clarification.

Overall, the engagement was informative and inspiring, reinforcing the message that the fight against corruption begins with awareness, responsibility, and active youth participation.
