Corruption is an album by the Zimbabwean musician Thomas Mapfumo (credited with his band, the Blacks Unlimited), released in 1989. The album criticized the government of Robert Mugabe. Mugabe's displeasure with the criticism eventually forced Mapfumo into exile, and Mapfumo's music was barred from Zimbabwean radio. The title track was discussed in the Zimbabwean parliament, around the same time as several government officials were indicted as part of a smuggling ring.
“The more corrupt a society, the more numerous its laws.”
“I have nothing against the smell of rot but something against what hides the smell of rot in the United States of America.”
“History shows that, at earlier stages of economic development, corruption is difficult to control. The fact that today no country that is very poor is very clean suggests that a country has to rise above absolute poverty before it can significantly reduce venality in the system.”
“As the world changes, the forms of corruption also gradually become more cunning, more difficult to point out - but they certainly do not become better.”
“Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges.”
“The men with the muck-rake are often indispensable to the well-being of society, but only if they know when to stop raking the muck.”
