The One Campaign, the anti-poverty charity co-founded by the U2 singer Bono, has admitted “institutional failure” after an internal inquiry found that workers were subjected to bullying by senior figures in Johannesburg. Ex-employees had tweeted allegations of misconduct in November last year, prompting the probe. Alongside workplace bullying, the organisation is believed to have looked into a claim of sexual impropriety, but was unable to verify the allegation. Investigators were also told that a female supervisor had made staff members work as party hostesses at her home. Bono said he needed “to take some responsibility” for the charity’s failure to protect employees.
