00:00They didn't die in an accident.
00:01They didn't die of old age.
00:02They were erased because they spoke the truth.
00:05In South Africa, being a whistleblower is becoming a death sentence.
00:09As the Madlanga Commission uncovers billions in stolen funds,
00:13a dark pattern is emerging.
00:15It started with Babita Diakharan.
00:17She flagged 850 rand million in suspicious payments at Tembasa Hospital.
00:22She was shot outside her home.
00:24The message was clear, keep quiet or die.
00:27Then came Clote Murray, a man who knew exactly where the Gupta money went.
00:31He was hunted down on the N-1 highway.
00:33No arrests.
00:34No justice, just silence.
00:36And now, in February 2026, the list is growing.
00:40Investigators looking into the home affairs visa scam
00:43and the SASSA ghost account fraud are being followed.
00:46They are being threatened.
00:47Some have already disappeared.
00:49The SAPS says they are investigating.
00:52But the public is asking,
00:53How can the police protect us when they can't even protect the people saving our tax money?
00:58Who is funding the hitmen?
01:00Is it the construction mafia?
01:01Is it high-ranking politicians?
01:04Or is it the deep state within our own intelligence services?
01:08Every time a whistleblower is silenced, a piece of our democracy dies.
01:12If we stop talking about them, the killers win.
01:15Do you think the government is doing enough to protect whistleblowers?
01:18Or are they the ones ordering the hits?
