Summary, etc Development is seen as the process by which a type of (social) change is introduced into a system in order to produce a better production method and improved social arrangement. It involves a structural transformation of the economy, society, polity and culture of a country. The level and rate of development of any particular society is influenced by so many variables such as the political culture, leadership and corruption. In Africa, corruption has been at the centre of development an impediment of true and real development in the society. Corruption has ravaged the entire African system, causing the continent to be the most corrupt in the world. If Africa is to be saved from this infection, the endemic presence of corruption must be dealt with. This paper therefore addresses the implication and impact of corruption in Africa and on African development; and suggested a way forward for the desired change.
