Platform to Protect Whistleblowers in Africa

Truth has a voice.

Platform to Protect Whistleblowers in Africa

The Platform to Protect Whistleblowers in Africa supports whistleblowers whose disclosures speak to the public interest of African citizens. We ensure whistleblowers are protected, amplify the reach and impact of their disclosures, and advocate for stronger legal protections across the continent.

Blow the whistle

Expose wrongdoing. Stay protected.

Have you witnessed corruption, abuse of power, or wrongdoing affecting the African public interest? PPLAAF is here to help.
We work with whistleblowers in all sectors where the public interest is at stake by providing confidential legal assistance, secure communication channels, media coordination, safety and technical assistance, psycho-social support, and public advocacy.

CONSULT A SELF-RISK ASSESSMENT

All communication is handled in strict confidence and with the highest security protocols.

BLOW THE WHISTLE

Voices of courage

Real stories from whistleblowers who chose truth — and found support through PPLAAF

PPLAAF understood my situation. Their presence in my life offered me something that no amount of money could ever buy – they gave me back my sanity and preserved it when I would lose it. For people considering taking brave actions as I did, the best lesson that I can impart is this – you will need people around you that you can depend on, trust and talk to consistently. I found a sanctuary in PPLAAF.

Bianca Goodson

South Africa, State Capture Whistleblower

Going after the Russians isn’t easy. I almost paid the price with my life. If today I’ve succeeded in alerting national and international opinion to the cogs of Russian disinformation in the Central African Republic, it is thanks to PPLAAF’s determination to help me socially, administratively and above all in terms of security. Indeed, without PPLAAF’s help, I wouldn’t have been able to blow the whistle.

Ephrem Yalike-Ngonzi

Central African Republic, Russian Disinformation Whistleblower

In my country, I could not have imagined that I would ever be able to expose the wrongdoings of people who, rather than solving the problems faced by the population, are looting and selling off the country’s wealth. When I learned that with PPLAAF, I had an unprecedented opportunity to denounce them, I wanted to make my modest contribution to my country.

Navy Malela

Democratic Republic of Congo, US Sanctions Violation Whistleblower

PPLAAF has supported my cause and has been fighting for me on all fronts. I would not have won this war without PPLAAF. Whistleblowing and fighting corruption are wars which can not be achieved alone. You need support from organisations like PPLAAF.

Biswick Kaswaswa

Malawi/South Sudan, Trinity Energy Ltd Whistleblower

Without PPLAAF, my revelations would have been buried, and I might not have lived to tell the truth. Their support was indispensable—not just in exposing the reality of illegal deforestation in Mali, but in ensuring my safety when those responsible wanted me silenced.

Amadou Traoré

Mali, Deforestation Whistleblower

A whistleblower is a person who discloses information about actions that are unlawful, illicit, or against the public interest, particularly those they have witnessed in the context of their work.
