IMPORTANT ROLE OF WHISTLEBLOWERS

Important to the Inquiry’s work is to establish the reasons why cases that were referred to the South African Police Services for investigation and to the National Prosecuting Authority for prosecution by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission never made it to court.

The Inquiry will depend heavily on those with information and knowledge for help.

Whistleblowers who work (or worked) for any of these agencies can help the Inquiry to uncover the truth.
