An honourable company would have said, ‘We applaud what you’re doing. We have your back’.

KPMG in South Africa should close down.

Bianca Goodson – the former CEO of Trillian Management Consulting (TMC) – last month blew the lid on how Trillian earned lucrative consulting fees by allegedly facilitating access to top officials.
Goodson made an offer to her new employer – payroll software company Sage – that she would go if they had any concerns about her whistle-blowing.
Sage wasted no time accepting her offer to leave.
Anti-corruption campaigner Magda Wierzycka – CEO of Sygnia Asset Management – has hired Goodson and called Sage out on the circumstances around the supposed resignation.
The Money Show’s Bruce Whitfield interviewed Wierzycka.
Listen to the interview in the audio below (and/or scroll down for more quotes from it).
Bianca is immensely qualified… she’s a South African hero!
— Magda Wierzycka, Sygnia Asset Management
Whistle blowers should be celebrated as heroes.
— Magda Wierzycka, Sygnia Asset Management
She advised Sage that she’s going public… they dismissed her!
— Magda Wierzycka, Sygnia Asset Management
I don’t want to use the word ‘whistle blower’. I prefer the word ‘hero’.
— Magda Wierzycka, Sygnia Asset Management
People need to know they are safe and protected when they step up.
— Magda Wierzycka, Sygnia Asset Management
I’m not seeing corporate South Africa step up. I see the little people stepping up!
— Magda Wierzycka, Sygnia Asset Management
I’ve seen nothing but cowardice, lack of integrity and lack of honour.
— Magda Wierzycka, Sygnia Asset Management
