The paper deals first with the taken- for- granted definition of African "corruption". The orthodoxy that a trans-cultural position on "corruption" has legal and moral validity, and can be captured in a measurable way, is rejected. The exploration of "corruption's" meaning is followed by a synoptic examination of the significant evidence pointing to Western management failure with respect to African "corruption". Despite comprehensive searches, not one objective study could be found that demonstrates any "positive" Western impact on African "corruption". Yet this assault on Africa "corruption" could be the next neo-colonial chapter.
