Blowing the whistle on corruption in South Africa is wildly dangerous, but also vital. What can be done to protect them?

This week on Politically Aweh, we take you inside the daily life of the 'homo office workus'—your typical office worker—who suddenly finds themselves transforming into the heroic 'homo whistleblowis.' 🦸🏽‍♂️

In this epic collab with comedian Themba Robin, we dive into the dangerous world of sniffing out corruption in South Africa, where the ‘lotus cancerous’ (or looter, for short) thrives in government offices and corporate boardrooms, devouring everything in its path. But whistleblowers like Cynthia Stimpel stand tall, exposing the truth, no matter the cost.

Ever wonder what those shiny logos are hiding? Spoiler: They’re cooking more than just the books.

This week on Politically Aweh, our host KG Mokgadi is diving deep into the messy world of private sector corruption—and trust us, it’s not just government officials having all the shady fun! With help from a “career guidance counsellor” at the South African Institute of Crony Accountants and Other Professionals, we’re spilling the tea on how companies like Steinhoff and Tongaat Hulett cooked their books so well, it’s a miracle they didn’t open their own restaurant chain.

From pension fund robbery to auditing "oopsies", find out how these corporate crooks pulled off South Africa’s biggest heists—while their auditors turned a blind eye (or maybe two).
