A statement by Norman Kgosiyagofa Montjane, Attorney for the Phenya Family says Johannah Phenya, widow of the assassinated whistleblower, Marumo Eric Phenya, has confirmed that the Gauteng Provincial Office of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) has advised her of the arrest of one of the alleged hitmen linked to her husband’s murder.

The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry has heard how a whistleblower was murdered shortly after exposing an unlawful Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) operation that led to the arrest of several officers.

'702 Breakfast' recently sat down with the whistleblower who was named by former Minister of Home Affairs Aaron Motsoaledi as someone who blew the lid on major corruption at the Marabastad Home Affairs office in Pretoria.

Whistleblower Thuso Bloem was left in limbo for over a decade after uncovering alleged maladministration and corruption at Greater Taung Local Municipality under the Acting Municipal Manager, Mr Mpho Mofokeng. At the beginning of August, the High Court ruled in favour of the whistleblower, reaffirming the Public Protector’s remit to order remedial action for whistleblowers, the Platform to Protect Whistleblowers in Africa (PPLAAF) said today.
