Whistleblowers often make bold and brave decisions to blow the whistle on corruption, but are confronted with threats and lengthy and expensive lawsuits – all for telling the truth.
News24 legal journalist Karyn Maughan led a panel discussion about the coordinated online and offline attacks facing journalists and whistleblowers in South Africa at News24’s On the Record summit on Thursday.
The summit, in partnership with Nedbank, is taking place at the Kyalami International Convention Centre in Midrand.
