Dr. Alpo Mbamba Secondary School from Kavango East Region are the best singers, as they won the Anti-Corruption Commission Song Competition.

The finale was held in Swakopmund last night.

It was a journey that started about three months ago as part of the ACC's strategy to slash, if not end, corruption.

A total of 55 schools from the country's 13 regions initially applied to take part in the singing competition.

Schools in the Kunene Region did not apply.

Along the way, 22 schools were eliminated, leaving 33 to battle it out.

Speaking at the ACC Song Competition, Erongo Governor Neville Andre says corruption has, for far too long, cost Namibia both economically and socially and eroded trust.

Although Namibia's score remained unchanged at 49 on the 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index, the country actually fell one spot to 59 on the global indicator of public sector corruption.

The Corruption Perceptions Index ranks countries and territories based on how corrupt their public sector is perceived to be.
