Corruption whistle-blower Athol Williams has fled South Africa, saying he fears his life is in danger.
Deokaran, who had blown the whistle to the Special Investigating Unit on alleged corruption linked to Covid-19 health equipment procurements, was gunned down outside her Winchester Park home south of Johannesburg in August. Six men have been arrested for her killing.
He said he handed information to a commission of inquiry into tax administration and management and was very open in the media about the discrepancies he found. When he appeared before state capture chairperson Raymond Zondo, he testified about what he said was Bain’s refusal to admit complicity in state capture and the plundering of Sars.In his statement, Williams said speaking out led to him being alienated.
“I have suffered severe damage to my health and my reputation. Now I have lost my home, being forced out of the very country I acted to defend.
