Mchunu delivered an address at the Premier's Service Excellence Awards at the Durban ICC last night. 

Mchunu says some people often get caught up in bribery and corruption unwillingly. 

"They think they are just taking that 'thank you' but you end up being hooked in the most unforgiving way. Bribery starts in small doses that the conscious digests with innocence until the victim becomes a willing solicitor who is always ready to go out of the way to deliver as expected," Mchunu said.
