South Africa's corruption perception index has dropped to its lowest in 12 years and was below the global average, global corruption watchdog Transparency International said on Tuesday.

"Since Corruption Watch (CW)... started tracking its progress on the index 12 years ago, South Africa has never scored as low as 41 - until now", the NGO, which is the local chapter of Transparency International, said.
