Bail application of men accused of killing Babita Deokaran to resume on Monday

The bail application of the six men accused of killing Gauteng Health whistleblower, Babita Deokaran, resumes at the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday morning.

Deokaran was gunned down outside her Johannesburg home in August this year.

The senior official at the Provincial Health Department was a key witness in an investigation into PPE tenders.

Earlier, the defense brought an application to reopen an application for a supplementary affidavit.

It’s based on a statement by former Health Minister Zweli Mkhize, who through his lawyers, stated that he was shocked to hear his name being brought up in the case.

Mkhize also stated he had no knowledge of or involvement in the matter.
