Tendai Jangara, Director in our Corporate and White-Collar Investigations sector, joined Gugulethu Mfuphi on Kaya Biz to discuss rethinking whistleblowing in African Corporate Governance: building trust, ethical culture, and effectiveness. Tendai highlights that Africa's unique regulatory diversity and cultural intricacies demand a fresh perspective on whistleblowing, this shift aims to explore the metamorphosis of trust, ethics, and culture, paving the way for more effective fraud prevention across the continent. She says "Whistleblowing is more than just exposing financial misconduct. It's a powerful way to protect African businesses from fraud. This is especially crucial in a region characterised by diverse legal frameworks and cultural dynamics."
