Report Corruption

NB: Please note that the information below refers to corruption within the NPA. The hotline given below is therefore only for NPA-related corrupt activities and unethical behaviour.

To report corruption in other areas of the public service, please use the Government’s anti-corruption hotline. Otherwise you can also contact the South African Police Service.

Report Corruption

Corruption inhibits service delivery. Likewise, reporting corruption will enable us to effectively deliver service to the public and to live up to our vision of delivering justice in our society, so that people can live in freedom and security. Combating and eliminating corruption is everybody’s responsibility and if we do not report it, we are as guilty as the perpetrators.

What is the NPA Service Delivery hotline?

The NPA service delivery hotline is a 24 hour toll free service. It is aimed at enabling the public and members of the NPA to report wrongdoings or transgressions with the NPA values in respect of the service that the NPA renders to the public.

What is the NPA’s confidentiality policy?

In supporting the organization’s efforts to detect and prevent unethical conduct, the NPA has developed the whistle blowing policy. This policy is aimed at protecting the whistle blower against victimization. The NPA considers unethical conduct (such as corruption, fraud, theft, maladministration and malpractice) in a very serious light. It furthermore recognizes the value and importance of its employees in eradicating corrupt activities. Failure to report on acts of fraud, corruption, theft, maladministration and such, is regarded in terms of the mentioned policy as misconduct and will be charged as such.
