Systemic Factors Moderating Whistle-Blowing

In: Development Corruption in South Africa

Abstract

Corruption and concerns around ethics have perpetuated through history, heavily influenced by ineffective whistle-blowing processes and systems. Corruption has afflicted all forms of institutions and government and remains one of the most important challenges to the moral basis of developed and developing democracies. Whistle-blowing is an ethical issue based on the value systems of a nation. Its effectiveness requires total commitment and concerted efforts by government and civil society to examine cultural influences on such acts. There is no doubt that reluctance around whistle-blowing poses a particularly serious danger to newly democratized countries such as South Africa.
