Tip-offs

If you have information that must get out to expose wrongdoing and hold power to account, you may email us or call us. We won’t disclose your identity if you don’t want us to. But electronic surveillance and interception are real. If you are concerned about security, consider the options below.

USE OUR MESSAGE BOX

The advantage of using the message box is that you don’t need to use an email address that may be linked to you. You don’t have to disclose your identity, even to us.

But please give us contact details if you are at all comfortable with it, so that we can get back to you if we have questions. We won’t disclose your identity if you do not want us to.

PHONE OR MESSAGE US

You are welcome to call us. But if our or your calls are intercepted, your identity may be compromised.


Protect yourself by calling us from a number that cannot be linked to you and avoid specifics that could identify you.


You can also WhatsApp amaB on +27 72 918 5030.

    EMAIL US

    You may email us at tipoffs@amabhungane.org. We use two-factor authentication to protect our inboxes and respect your anonymity if requested. But if we or you are hacked or under surveillance, your identity may be compromised.

    Protect yourself by not identifying yourself or including details that may point to you, and not mailing from an address that can be linked to you.

    You could use services like Guerilla Mail, ProtonMail and Hushmail to anonymise and encrypt your mail.

    But remember that sophisticated surveillance/hacking may still link your computer/smartphone to a message. If it is really sensitive, consider using a device that cannot be linked to you. Going to an Internet café to set up an anonymous account and mailing from there may be ideal.

    Whichever method you use, please consider returning in case we get back to you with questions.

    DO IT THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY

    If you are really paranoid – and who’s to say you don’t have reason to be – the best may be to get information to us without leaving any digital footprint. You could ask a trusted third party to contact us and set up a meeting.
