Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Sociology - Work, Education, Organisation, , language: English, abstract: The desideratum of this discourse was to unpack the nexus of good governance, effective procurement and prevention of corruption at workplace. Money can corrupt the virtuous. Efficient public procurement is key to enhancing state portfolio in infrastructure, health, education and other public services, making it central to state efforts to enhance living standard. Efficient public procurement has a nexus with good governance. The questionnaire method was considered appropriate to collect and analyse data from the respondents. Different questionnaire and interviews were administered to every respondent. Collusion and corruption are distinct challenges within public procurement, yet they may regularly occur in tandem and have mutually added fuel to the fire impact. A good example of collusion and corruption is the alleged chain effect of the Fish rot scandal in Namibia. They are optimally perceived, therefore, as concomitant threats to the integrity of public procurement. Efficient public procurement is key to enhancing state portfolio in infrastructure, health, education and other public services, making it central to state efforts to enhance living-standards. Efficient public procurement has a nexus with good governance. However, state procurement in developing states is often plagued by high rates of corruption and waste. The public procurement process is governed by public procurement laws and regulations in all states and differs from one state to another. In South Africa, public procurement is enshrined in Section 217 and 33 of the constitution of the country. COMESA has developed a model strategy for public procurement reform to standardise procurement and tendering process which are done within the stock market.
