Abstract: 
Ethical leadership is a type of leadership that is ideal for any institution. Ethical leadership is lacking in
Africa and south Africa is not an exception. Ethical leadership in many aspects globally is
misconceptualized but this article focus on ethical leadership in the South African context. South Africa as
a developing country has various aspects that seeks to effectively deliver public services and ethical
leadership play a major role. South African leaders recently, mobilize public support using the ticket of
corruption free and ethical leadership. Ethical leadership and corrupt free leaders does not guarantee
effective public services. This article presents a view that leaders must showcase the leadership skills and
a calling for leading people without expecting anything in return. Leaders must provide solutions for
existing problems in the society. Ethical leadership and corrupt free must not be a standalone
phenomenon that leaders use to mobilize public support, they must present their desire to provide public
services and service excellence. The objective of this article is to show the difference between ethical
leadership and public service delivery. There is a correlation between the two aspects and this article
seeks to contribute in addressing the confusion between the two. The study found that most leaders in
South Africa portray themselves as ethical leaders in public to gain more support from the public and
voters. The study applied mixed research methodology and analyzed the existing data that is related to
ethical leadership versus public service delivery.
