Across the continent, citizens are becoming aware of the dark and oppressive political, economic and financial powers being exercised over their daily lives. But as the source of this information, whistleblowers are often the first victims of their own disclosures.

High-security prisons, forced exile, endless legal proceedings, death threats and other reprisals turn these defenders of the public interest into public enemies. We have seen this in the Zondo Commission into State Capture and further afield in the investigations into the African Development Bank.
