Abstract

In 1983 I was with my family in Buea, Cameroon waiting in a long line for my turn to buy stamps at a post office. Someone shouted that if he were in Lagos, Nigeria, he could have waved his 10 nairas at the man behind the counter and would have been allowed to jump the queue and get his stamps immediately. We all laughed, and I said South Africans were lucky because corruption had not reached the level where it hampered peoples daily living.
