The Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Mmamoloko Kubayi, will host a media briefing to officially release the Protected Disclosure Bill.
The Bill seeks to strengthen South Africa’s legal framework for the protection of individuals who disclose information on unlawful or irregular conduct in both the public and private sectors.
While the Protected Disclosures Act, 2000 provides for whistle-blower protection, the Zondo Commission identified gaps such as unclear procedures, weak protections, and limited support.
In response, the draft Bill strengthens protections, prevents retaliation, and introduces support and incentive measures, drawing on both local recommendations and international best practices.
