News24 investigations have revealed explosive details of what may have led to the assassination of whistleblower Babita Deokaran.
The senior Gauteng health department official was gunned down in August last year in front of her Winchester Hills home in Johannesburg.
In a series of articles titled Silenced, News24 revealed that Deokaran sent a WhatsApp message to her boss, provincial health department CFO Lerato Madyo, about safety concerns she had just days before her murder.
