“The problem is not with the corrupt, but with those who remain silent when they witness corruption.”

Thuli Madonsela

The Problem

Bribery, corruption, economic crime and unethical conduct are an unfortunate and often familiar reality for many South African businesses.

It takes the courage of whistle-blowers to stop wrongdoing and fight for what is right. But, often whistle-blowers are fearful, unsure of their rights and worried about potential backlash or possible dismissal. Questions often asked are:

  • Why should I report this?
  • What if I can't prove my suspicion?
  • What could happen if I keep quiet and do nothing?
  • What are my rights if I'm named as the one who reported it?

The Solution

You want to do the right thing but don’t know where to start. What if you could have legal advice and explanations, who to call, what to do and when to do it – all on an easy-to-use app that you can download right now?

Well, now you do. The Whistleblowing Without Fear app was created to empower you with the right information so you can speak up against wrongdoing without fear. After all, knowledge is power and with this app you will know exactly:

  • how the protection works,
  • who is entitled to the protection,
  • what you are protected against,
  • when you are protected, and
  • why you are protected.

PLUS you also get a comprehensive list of specialists and organisations you could call if you need further help.

For example, did you know that in South Africa, you are protected by various pieces of legislation, of which the most prominent is the Protected Disclosures Act No. 26 of 2000 (‘PDA’)? Did you know there are many success stories of our Courts protecting whistle-blowers, through the PDA?  This protection includes re-instatement of whistle-blowers with backpay, compensation to the whistle-blower, having the victimising employer pay the legal costs for the whistle-blower, overturning a suspension, prohibiting a disciplinary hearing and many more.
