Retired Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke encourages the protection of whistleblowers
Retired Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke cautioned that the findings of the State Capture Commission report should not be left to gather dust and urged authorities to implement its recommendations, considering that it has been more than a year since Chief Justice Raymond Zondo completed the inquiry.
"We ask for the space to bring up our children. We ask for the space to afford them the best education, and we hope that all of us can access reasonably effective health care. These are the problems that Babita Deokaran understood so well. None of these will ever be possible within a pandemic of corruption," said Moseneke.He also urged whistleblowers to be protected, as most of them were subjected to victimisation, and to be taken to places of safety due to continual death threats.
The awards were also graced by newly elected Public Protector Kholeka Gcaleka. Other speakers included Daphne Mokwena from Eskom. Some of the people who scooped awards for their work in uncovering corruption included journalists Jeff Wicks and Sabelo Skiti, as well as media houses Media24 and GroundUp.Who we choose to trust can have a profound impact on our lives.
