The majority of whistle-blower calls made to the National Anti-Corruption Hotline relate to social grant fraud, says the Public Service Commission.

Johannesburg – The majority of whistle-blower calls made to the National Anti-Corruption Hotline relate to social grant fraud, the Public Service Commission has revealed.

“Over 56% of the cases reported to the NACH in the 2020/21 financial year were reported by anonymous whistle-blowers,” the report said. The PSC indicated that the NACH actually only took a portion of whistleblowers’ calls due to its operational challenges. “As the NACH is a designated single hotline through which corruption in the Public Service should be reported, it must be adequately resourced to enable people to report 24/7. This will require additional capacity.”
