The hierarchical system in religious organisations needs to be challenged. People should be empowered to bring forth morals and values that govern them in their local contexts, and to take responsibility in that area of formation. Prophetic statements and values should be weighed against corrupt practices in order to bring about behavioural changes. Religion should guide people as to how to relate to each other. Religious groups should spearhead networking to create a type of 'peer pressure'.
Religion can play a role in terms of counselling victims of corruption.
There is a problem of African academics going on theoretical drives and making use of foreign theories. South Africans and Africans should look to their own resources and insights in terms of dealing with and resolving their problems. In a pre-Apartheid system people developed systems amongst themselves to deal with crime, violence, abuse and corruption. In the post-Apartheid setup a similar trend should be followed. Mobilising communities We should operate as small cells initiating programmes on a small scale moving into different spheres of life.
