Remembering the life and legacy of whistleblower Babita Deokaran

Five years after the assassination of whistleblower Babita Deokaran, her family and the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation gathered in Winchester Hills this morning to honour her memory.

Deokaran was shot outside her Johannesburg home in August 2021, after raising concerns about suspected corruption and irregular payments linked to Tembisa Hospital.
