She says South Africans must find community-based ways of shunning those who practice corruption.

Pandor says, “Politicians accused of corruption and those who fail to explain satisfactorily must be shunned by communities so that they know that we are intolerant of criminals. This includes gangsters and tsotsis (criminals). Corruption is a cancer and no society that permits its existence can survive.”
