Although the Constitution protects the rights of whistle-blowers, and we have laws that
are meant to promote their rights (such as the Protected Disclosures Act), in reality
there is not much protection for whistle-blowers and such people face huge challenges.
---- For example, people who "blow the whistle" on their employers often lose their jobs
(even though the law says you cannot be ired for whistle-blowing). Sometimes the corrupt
person will say the whistle-blower has broken the law and hire a lawyer to threaten them,
or take them to court. Sometimes whistleblowers have even been hurt or killed! ---- South
Africa's whistleblowers are being targeted, intimidated and silenced. ---- We must stand
with them!
