# Today marks five years since Tembisa Hospital whistle-blower Babita Deokaran was assassinated outside her Johannesburg home after exposing alleged corruption. Her death brought renewed scrutiny to fraud and tender irregularities at the hospital, while several men linked to her killing have since been sentenced. Civil society groups and her family continue to demand accountability and the arrest of the masterminds behind the murder. The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation is leading commemorative events today, calling for stronger protection of whistle-blowers.
