Example in practice
In 2006, advocate Jeanetha Brink blew the whistle on fraud occurring in the South African province of Guateng. According to her claims, the local anti-corruption hot line was not investigating tip-offs and derailing investigations of cases against senior government officials. As a result of her charges, shewas relieved of her duties and forced to resign. In 2008, a court declared her resignation was coercedand she was awarded compensation.75
