Poppie Nongena experiences injustice

Nor can the extent to which they’re often ostracised and isolated be guarded against. Whistleblowers are often harassed, demoted or dismissed from work; they risk financial ruin, psychological trauma and, in some cases, they even pay with their lives. But despite the challenges, whistleblowers continue to display immense courage, standing up against injustice when no one else will stand with them. It’s a gap now being filled by the Whistleblower House, an online platform offering a range of supports, including legal and financial advice, to those who sacrifice so much in the name of accountability and justice. Carte Blanche meets the people behind this cause. Your favourite episodes are now available on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://linktr.ee/carteblanchetv

She waited years for her day in court, to bring Jaco Swart to book on charges of domestic abuse. But upon her first day in court, Jaco pleaded guilty and was released with a mere suspended sentence and R20 000 fine. So, why were the videos never put before court? Carte Blanche tracks the descent of a relationship documented in living colour, uncovering the roots of a man who’s become the face of law enforcement’s failures on gender-based violence.
