Corruption rot runs deep

The long journey of over 36 200 whistle-blowers in the fight against corruption in South Africa comes into focus in the 2021 edition of the Corruption Watch (CW) annual report published recently, Pushing for change, as the organisation commemorates 10 years since its establishment in 2012. The past decade reveals a volatile experience for the brave whistle-blowers who have not been deterred by intimidation, stringent lockdown conditions, or threats to their livelihoods and sometimes even their lives. To talk about this Michael Avery is joined by Corruption Watch CEO Karam Singh; Former Sars executive Johann van Loggerenberg & Cynthia Stimpel, former group treasurer of South African Airways (SAA)
