# Defend Our Democracy has raised alarm over rising killings of whistleblowers and a recent Durban ambush on crime intelligence officers that left one dead. The organisation says the attacks are targeted and threaten the rule of law. It highlighted the murder of Emfuleni official Martha Rantsofu, allegedly for exposing corruption. The group says workers remain overshadowed by fear, urging stronger protection for public servants and whistleblowers to safeguard democracy and ensure accountability across institutions.
