Is South Africa Being Strangled by Family Ties?

Nine.

That’s how many times assassinated whistle-blower Babita Deokaran was shot just days after exposing suspected corruption to the tune of R850 million at Tembisa Hospital on Gauteng’s East Rand.

She was 53 years old.

Over a year later, six men have been arrested and are facing trial for the shooting.
