Did Babita Deokaran die in vain? Join us this Wednesday to discuss SA's fight against corruption
In August 2021, Babita Deokaran was gunned down after exposing alleged corruption in Gauteng's Department of Health.
Her murder shocked the nation, but has justice been served, and has her sacrifice led to change?
On Wednesday, 20 August at noon, join News24's Jeff Wicks, whistleblower and author Cynthia Stimpel, and civil society leader Wayne Duvenage as they discuss the circumstances surrounding Babita's killing and the broader state of whistleblower protection in South Africa.
The panel will explore what Babita's case reveals about the country's ability or inability to protect those who speak out, and whether South Africa is making any meaningful progress in its fight against corruption.
