The Right 2 Know Campaign has welcomed the reinstatement of the Justice Department whistleblower Mrs M.

The organization said the reversal of her unfair dismissal was a rare victory for whistleblowers in South Africa. 

Right 2 Know’s National Coordinator Murry Hunter said the painstaking work of democracy building requires a commitment to transparency, and where an unjust secrecy prevails there must be full protection, support and solidarity for those who speak out. 

Hunter said people need to speak out against corruption or any wrong doing and not being harassed or victimized.

He called on government and businesses to do more to assist whistleblowers.
