Babita Deokaran’s sister says all South Africans should be angry at her death

The sister of slain chief director of financial accounting in the Gauteng Department of Health Babita Deokaran has expressed anger over her killing.

She describing her sister as not just a number working in government.

Deokaran, who was shot outside her home, in Johannesburg, on Monday, was a witness in the Special Investigating Unit’s personal protective equipment probe.

Her sister Renu Williams said in a social media post that South Africans needed to be angry about Deokaran’s death and that it should not be accepted.

The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation said Deokaran had previously shared information with the Foundation after she was demoted, indicating that she was seen as a threat because of the high levels of integrity she had maintained.
