“My home and home office were invaded during the early hours of this morning by criminals,” Van Loggerenberg said in a statement issued through his attorneys., Van Loggerenberg said he had reason to suspect that the crime may be related to his testimony to the Zondo commission of inquiry and called on the government to take firm steps to protect whistleblowers without further delay.

“Four very distinct indicators of the house robbery suggest that it may not have been ordinary criminal conduct.” He noted that, as well as blowing the whistle on state capture as it played out at Sars and the state intelligence services, and testifying before the Zondo commission on this, he was also a complainant and state witness in cases under investigation by the inspector general of intelligence and the Independent Directorate of the National Prosecuting Authority.

Van Loggerenberg said that although he has consistently reported these threats to the authorities, neither the police, the revenue service nor the intelligence structures have responded to his requests for help.He said it was a known fact that whistleblowers lived under severe and constant strain “on many levels with absolutely no support from the government” and that some had paid with their lives or fled the country for their safety.

Tainted Bain leaves BLSA | Whistleblower Athol Williams commentsDisgraced management consultancy Bain and Company has withdrawn from Business Leadership SA. The firm has been linked to alleged corruption for work it did for SARS. The State Capture Inquiry's first report, released this month, was scathing in its assessment of Bain's consultancy work for the revenue agency. Corruption whistleblower and author, Athol Williams chats to Dan Moyan about this. Good riddance This was inevitable. Let them regroup, reflect on the damage done, get rid of those people that have no moral compass. Who knows, they could come back one day and do something good for the country. I really appreciate all your efforts with the little Startup of $5,250 with all joy over me after withdrawing $10,000 with the help of Arlene_riggio
