Minister Ayanda Dlodlo was speaking at the launch of the Public Administration Ethics Integrity and Disciplinary Technical Assistance Unit, which aims to crack down on corruption.
highlighted the need to protect whistle-blowers who speak up against corruption and criminal conduct in the government.
“Any anti-corruption initiative must allow employees to blow the whistle on corruption and for the protection of whistle-blowers. The death of Babita Deokaran highlights the imperative to increase awareness among employees on whistle-blowing to bolster early detection of corruption and criminal conduct,” said Dlodlo.
“This we should do for future generations to inherit from us a government that is ethical and with integrity that our people can trust. It is time we revisit SA’s whistle-blowing regime and examine it vigorously, not only the legislation and its effectiveness but also the lack of a single repository that can be used for research to strengthen the system and practice,” said Dlodlo.She was a whistle-blower in a Special Investigating Unit investigation into R332.
