Abstract

Their central argument is that African states have deviated from the social contract theory, which stipulates the existence of states through a contractual agreement to promote the interest of the citizens with a responsible exercise of state power. Hence, there is the prevalence of government involvement in the economic activities to the detriment of the public interest. The economic theory of corruption and the neopatrimonial perspective, postulate that the involvement of the state in economic sphere creates opportunities for corruption. Citing the case of Cadre deployment in South Africa, they argue that Africa’s socio-political milieu is redolent of neopatrimonial practices. In most cases, an adverse result of this particular practice is the creation of an avenue for politicians to consolidate power with state resources to buy loyalty.
