WHISTLEBLOWERS BLOWERS PROTECTION FRAMEWORKS IN ZIMBABWE

Abstract

The contemporary epoch is characterized with stiff and protracted competition where people are now mainly focusing on economic gains and this has given birth to more and more scams, swindles, illicit practices, and fraud or corruption in both public and private sectors. The practice of whistleblowing is brought into being when firms or administration involve themselves in illegitimate or unprincipled practices or misconduct in the workplace to increase a competitive edge over the rival companies or co-workers. It is in light with this view that the study looked into the need to dig deeper into whistle blowing which is topical around the globe in trying to deal with the rise in corrupt activities.
