The Protected Disclosures Act (26 of 2000), also called the "Whistle Blowers Act" aims to protect employees, either in the private sector or government service who report unlawful or irregular conduct by their employers or fellow employees. Protected disclosures include any criminal act, failure to comply with legal obligations, miscarriages of justice, damage to the environment or unfair discrimination. People who make these types of disclosures, known as whistle blowers, are protected from unfair dismissal, disciplinary action, demotion, being transferred against their will, harassment or intimidation.
