# Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Justice and Constitutional Development has welcomed the Public Protector’s achievement of 100-percent of its performance targets across all programmes during the 2025/26 financial year. The institution also received a clean audit outcome, with no material findings from the Auditor-General of South Africa. But, Committee Chairperson Xola Nqola says the committee remains concerned about the protection of whistle-blower information and the consistent application of confidentiality protocols. He stressed the need for adequate measures to protect whistle-blowers and maintain the confidentiality of sensitive information.
