South Africa has made a better showing on the 2020 Global Defence Integrity Index, released this week by Transparency International Defence & Security. The country rose above the halfway mark to end with a score of 57/100, eight points better than the G20 average of 49/100. This also takes it out of the 62% of countries that scored 49 or less.

Blowing the whistle
SA must protect its whistle-blowers - or lose the fight against corruption
Exposing corruption is the only way South Africa can halt its political, social and economic decline, and full protection for those who expose it is a vital first step. If this does not happen we will be failing not only the whistle-blowers but the entire nation, and we will continue to lose valuable citizens like Athol Williams and Babita Deokaran.
