AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Whistle-blowers in South Africa who expose corruption face serious threats to their lives. Investigations often identify alleged hitmen but fail to reach the individuals who allegedly ordered the attacks. As a result, the perpetrators of the violence remain at large, leaving the whistle‑blowers vulnerable.
WHY IT MATTERS
It shows how impunity for alleged masterminds endangers anti‑corruption witnesses and weakens accountability in South Africa.
Whistle-blowers exposing corruption remain at serious risk, with watchdogs warning that investigations often stop at alleged hitmen while those who may have ordered the attacks remain out of reach.
