Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi thanks a whistleblower who alerted her to an alleged plot to kill a senior official in her department, according to IOL. The threat is said to be linked to a dispute over contracts.
The report says the senior official allegedly refused to sign “questionable” contracts, after which the alleged death threat emerged. Kubayi’s remarks focus on the whistleblower’s disclosure and the importance of raising concerns about safety and misconduct.
Only one outlet is provided here, so there are no differing angles to reconcile across sources. The available account does not specify the names of the senior official or the whistleblower, the contracts in question, or whether any investigation, charges, or protective measures follow the disclosure.
