# The deadline for public comment for the Protected Disclosures Bill closes today. The Bill seeks to overhaul South Africa’s whistleblower protection framework by introducing stronger safeguards, clearer reporting procedures and financial incentives for individuals who disclose wrongdoing. While some civil organisation’s support the bill, Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse says loopholes still leave whistleblowers at risk. Open Secrets says the bill fails to adequately address victimisation and retaliation against whistleblowers.
