I would love to live in a country where the police cannot openly ask for a bribe and I agree that it will be very difficult to get away from corruption as a whole. There will always be the "bad" part of humankind that will find ways to be corrupt.

South Africa is however very far from being a corruption free country. The government is the most corrupt of all. I have never been a racist. Not even in the old government where apartheid was the rulers. For me it was always that the best person for the job, must get the job. I do not believe that I will even see a change away from the corrupt government in my lifetime.
