Listen "Witness D’s Murder - Whistleblower Protection Under Fire"
Episode Synopsis
It’s a story that shook the country. A key witness from the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, known only as Witness D, was gunned down outside his Brakpan home, ambushed with an AK-47 after stepping out to open his gate.
