Whistle blowers who expose corruption must be supported and encouraged to speak up, said Chief Justice Raymond Zondo during the OR Tambo lecture at the University of Fort Hare in the Eastern Cape.
Zondo added sheltering corrupt figures in the government or public institutions destroyed the values and foundation on which former leaders like Tambo built South Africa.
He said the university, being one of the institutions mired in corruption allegations, intimidation, and the killing of employees, needed to be protected from elements that could collapse it.
Zondo added: "We must show no tolerance of corruption. If we tolerate it, we betray the values that Oliver Tambo used to guide his direction and fight. I know that in this institution, there are serious matters relating to corruption.
"All of us must encourage the leaders to continue fighting corruption. Those who are corrupt must know that they have no support or place to hide. We must not leave everything to the police."
