Zimbabwe Can’t Afford to Delay Whistleblower Legislation

Zimbabwe’s Auditor-General has spoken again. The 2024 report on State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and parastatals reveals the rot within public entities, including unsupported expenditure, non-delivery of goods, uncollected debts, and governance chaos. What’s striking is how predictable these findings have become perennial the same irregularities resurface. The problem is not that we do not know what’s wrong. It is those who see the wrongdoing first, the insiders, who have no safe way to speak up.
