1 hr agoSouth Africa’s Protected Disclosure Bill — widely referred to as the “whistle‑blowers bill” — has been released for public comment by Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development Mmamoloko Kubayi. The draft legislation is designed to close gaps in existing protections and bring the country in line with global standards for safeguarding those who expose wrongdoing.
According to the Minister, the Bill aims to ensure secure reporting channels, shield whistle‑blowers from retaliation, and provide support throughout the disclosure process. It emphasises that disclosures should be handled efficiently by trained officials and institutions. Kubayi highlighted the urgent need for such reforms, making a pointed reference to past tragedies involving whistle‑blowers like Babita Deokoran, whose killing underscored the dangers faced by individuals who expose corruption.
The draft Bill is now available online for review, and the public is invited to submit comments by May 14, after which contributions will help shape the final version. This consultation period is seen as a critical step in fostering greater transparency and accountability in both the public and private sectors, encouraging citizens to have a meaningful say in legislation that affects the heart of anti‑corruption efforts.
