Abstract
Since the first confirmed case in March 2020, the Covid-19 has exposed deeply entrenched corruption in the South African public sector. Corruption impeded several government programmes which were implemented to assist the least fortunate to cope during national lockdown instituted in response to the pandemic. This chapter seeks to engage with how public attitudes towards corruption may be influencing electoral behaviour and attitudes in the country.-
