I know I am going to be killed by the police - SAPS Whistleblower

Loading player...
Veteran SAPS  whistleblower Patricia Morgan-Mashale is once again unable to leave a safe house that she has been using over the past two years. This after she received information that there had been a meeting between former Police Minister Bheki Cele, two Crime Intelligence generals, some people whose corruption she had exposed, as well as a foreign cyber expert who would allegedly instruct them in the use of illegal spyware equipment to pinpoint her exact location. Speaking to BizNews, Morgan-Mashale - who has endured three years of persecution - says: “I want everyone to know that if I die an unnatural death, that the police is responsible for that…I know I am going to be killed by the police.” In response to this information, veteran violence- and police monitor Professor Mary De Haas has fired off a letter to Police Minister Senzo Mchunu to call for an immediate investigation into this reported meeting and into all acquisitions of surveillance equipment by the SAPS.  “I am also calling on urgent action from Parliament to ensure adequate protection of bone fide whistleblowers, before they are killed.”
