WHY GET READY NOW?

Whistleblowing rules
are set for a rethink.
Get your business ready.

South Africa’s proposed Protected Disclosures Bill, 2026 would bring more detailed rules for handling reports and protecting the people who speak up.

PROPOSED BILL · NOT YET LAW

There’s already a duty to have a process. The current Protected Disclosures Act requires employers to have internal reporting procedures and tell employees and workers how to use them.

What the draft proposes

01

A named person to receive reportsClear responsibility for receiving a disclosure and taking the next step.

02

Anonymous reporting and confidentialityProcedures that explain how people can report anonymously and how their identity will be protected.

03

Tighter response time framesMore detailed steps for acknowledging, reviewing and following up on disclosures.

DutyDesk is designed to help you put the reporting channel, careful identity handling and response process in place—so you can prepare before any new rules take effect.

Draft provisions may change. This is general information, not legal advice. Using DutyDesk does not guarantee legal compliance. Status checked 12 September 2026.

SIMPLE FROM THE START

They speak up.
You move forward.

Designed around WhatsApp voice notes
and WhatsApp text chat.
A familiar way to raise a concern.

01

Speak or type on WhatsApp.

Send a WhatsApp voice note or use WhatsApp text chat to raise a workplace concern. Use the reporting details your employer provides.

02

AI organises the report.

AI structures the concern for your nominated contact, with identity details kept separate from the case. Leaving out your name does not make a messaging account or voice anonymous.

03

Keep the response moving.

Your nominated person reviews the report and decides how to act. Reminders and a clear record of actions help keep the response moving.

MORE THAN AN INBOX

One desk.
The whole process.

From the first concern to the follow-up, DutyDesk helps keep the important things from falling through the cracks.

Built around your business

A dedicated reporting channel

WhatsApp voice notes and text chat give your people a familiar way to raise concerns.

Careful handling of identities

Identity information is kept separate and is not shared with your business by default.

Reports and response reminders

Understand what was raised, who needs to respond and what needs attention.

Staff notices and a clear paper trail

Explain the process to your team and keep a record of reports, access and actions.

FOR ACCOUNTANTS, LABOUR LAWYERS
& COMPLIANCE ADVISERS

BUILT FOR YOUR WORKING DAY

Less admin.
More confidence to act.

Designed for South African businesses with 20–200 staff, including teams without a full-time HR manager.

A focused service. A clear boundary.
