Whistle blowing.

Are we instilling a fashion of complaining about dissatisfaction , and doing nothing about those concerns and worries? I often hear people complaining about services delivery in their communities and country but it only ends there, are we resorting to fearing the unknown ? I have all these question and expect them to be answered by our people . The fear of people  losing their popularity,  because of questioning why some things are the way thy are and not being afraid of voicing their thoughts .

Corruption in South Africa

"We are at a tipping point and [former president Nelson Mandela's] warning that 'our hope for the future depends also on our resolution as a nation in dealing with the scourge of corruption', remains valid," Madonsela said. www.timeslive.co.za/politics/2012/04/03
Thuli  Madonsela mentioned in her speech at Cape Town earlier this month that
"We believe that public accountability is critical for good governance and effective combating of corruption,"
 it was important to strengthen whistle-blower protection and usage, while media freedom was also important.
"Without transparency, accountability is impossible. In this regard it's important to strengthen our whistle-blower protection and usage. Media freedom is also important."
Corruption has given a rise in South Africa , to an extent that even the police themselves are helping the wrongdoers . they are the people we should be looking up to and looking to for help. with thus been said if people are found being wrong and being corrupt in your area report them immediately , I often hear of people speaking of corruption with driving licenses and the difficulties they encounter when they want to obtain their licenses which in fact is very unfair . So with whistle blowing campaign they are basically trying to eradicate corruption and i believe this will help alot.

  5. i do not see any hope for corruption to stop because the government themselves are the ones who play a major role in this problem. So as much as the government is trying to implement new strategies to help stop this they need to look at the image they have and still is creating in this country with their vasts amounts of corruption for the past few years and it is still continuing.
