IBA President Sternford Moyo, senior partner and chairman of law firm Scanlen and Holderness in Zimbabwe, said: ‘When whistleblowers report wrongdoings societies benefit. But generally, these courageous truth-tellers do not receive the protection that they should.  Putting aside the moral imperative, whistleblowers must be given the full protection of law. Today, there is no greater example of the need for such safeguarding than that of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has underscored both the importance and value of whistleblowers, as well as the risks they face. We should never forget the bravery of Dr Li Wenliang who tried to warn the world about the novel coronavirus and paid the ultimate price by losing his life. This new report shines a light on the efficacy of laws that are intended to protect and empower whistleblowers, demonstrates much more work is required and offers recommendations to shield the brave.’
