Summarization

Government officials are no longer allowed to abuse tax payer's money for legal fees, which are affecting the public protector office. South Africa's moral standing has precipitously dropped in the past 30 years, due to corruption and other issues. Additionally, South Africans are looking for opportunities for economic gain through battery storage, but malawian citizens are being wrongly accused of xenophobia. Lastly, personnel changes and lack of maintenance are causing problems with basic sanitation in informal settlements.
