| 1625815125721550849 | @lindsaymanthey @athol_williams @MosiloMothepu @BiancaGoodson @cynthiastimpel @malebethengoye @JvanLogg @BLSA_Official The protection of #whistleblowers in South Africa is dismal to say the least and any legislation -- incl. verbiage from the President -- remains mostly ineffectual. Sadly whistleblowers are pretty much on their own & government, including many corporates treat them like lepers! https://t.co/dS0UuTuo5w | 3 |
