    On 04 March 2025, the Tayarisha Centre, in collaboration with the Mandela Institute (Wits School of Law) and the Global Corruption Observatory, hosted a workshop aimed at tackling two closely related topics concerning public procurement data and its analysis within South Africa's anti-corruption efforts. The first topic addressed the modified Governance Risk Assessment System (GRAS) proposed for South Africa. This proposal focuses on a digital system for flagging potential corruption in public procurement.
