Recommendation
South Africa’s peaceful transition to democracy is widely considered a success story, but since the end of apartheid the country has suffered from endemic corruption. New York Times reporters Norimitsu Onishi and Selam Gebrekidan take an in-depth look at a government-sponsored dairy farm project in the impoverished South African town of Vrede that became a symbol for large-scale state corruption. getAbstract recommends their article to those curious about the details of the corruption scandal that contributed to the downfall of former South African president Jacob Zuma.
