The study examined the Ethical Leadership Decadence and good governance failures in South African Public Service. According to the study, the global crisis has influenced the South African economy because it is interwoven into the global economy. African governments have exploited their strengths, fiscal possibilities, financial regulatory frameworks, and labour and institutional ingenuity to meet the crisis's issues. Studies indicates that the environment and culture influence the ethical behaviour of individuals in their workplace. People tend to modify their ethical orientations to the behaviour of those they observe amongst their leaders in the organization. It is therefore, critical for leaders to take active steps in fostering an ethical environment and culture in government institutions. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the issues that ethical leadership faces in light of the global crisis and to ask whether a simple response to the crisis without a purposeful ethical emphasis is sufficient for maintaining an effective and efficient public service. The method used is a critical qualitative examination of the current literature on the subject. The study concluded that the present administration must restructure the functioning of public organizations, develop sound whistleblowing systems to prevent corruption, and encourage public managers to act ethically when serving the public. As a result, the implications of this study emphasize good governance principles such as openness, accountability, and ethics, which are major determinants of effective public service delivery.

Global social security systems have been under pressure. On one hand, some argue that the systems are too expensive, and they hinder economic growth and development. While on the other hand, others point to deficiencies in the level of protection and the scope of coverage, and argue that in times of increased unemployment and other forms of labour insecurity, social security is more needed than ever. One of the major global challenges confronting social security today is the fact that more than half of the world's population is excluded from any form of social security (ILO 2015). The study used a mixed method approach. This article raises the question whether South Africa has effectively extended social security coverage to the majority of the people. The article concludes by arguing that South Africa has made tremendous strides to improve social security.
