Old Mutual’s latest nightmare - “Whistleblowing Wendy” batting for ousted execs

A BizNews interview in April last year connected SA’s original Whistleblower, Wendy Addison, and two former Old Mutual executives whose internal flag-waving was studiously ignored. The Cape-based financial services company has been under relentless attack of late because of an allegedly toxic sales culture reflected in mis-selling and non-disclosure. In this interview, Addison explains how efforts by the whistleblowers and her organisation SpeakOut SpeakUp were stonewalled by the company. Old Mutual is now being investigated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority, which has the power to levy enormous fines.
