@LourensaEckard She lost her job, her peace, and nearly everything else for exposing billions in COJ corruption — and she says she'd do it again. Question is: would you, if you knew this is how you would be treated? The cartels running the show 😭

@LourensaEckard First doors to knock on must "Allegedly" be shenanigans and nepotism by the Lesufi's family connections. Start with their alleged Western Cape property portfolio. @RSASIU @sarstax #MadlangaCommission #Hawks

@LourensaEckard Amagintsa are in charge of Johannesburg. Once we imbibe that slowly, we will know exactly why it is in the state that it is in. They are in charge.

@LourensaEckard Blowing the whistle never works 🤞. I once blew the whistle when I was still working at EXACT STORE(TFG) through DELOITTE company about 1 of our colleague who stole Samsung J5, I was anonymous but yoh the area manager came straight to me she was so angry.

@LourensaEckard The same guy who stole cellphone stole R8000+ from customers account about a year later and was fired that's when I realized being trustworthy doesn't help, I then resigned due to pressure the management was putting on me, the staff was told to come early without me knowing.

WE REMEMBER SARIKA LAKRAJ-NAIDOO WHO WAS FIRED FOR EXPOSING THE WHOLESALE LOTING OF CITY OF JOBURG METRO MUNICIPALITY Fired for exposing municipal corruption in Johannesburg Sarika Lakraj-Naidoo has paid a high price for more than a decade of blowing the whistle on wholesale looting at the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality. She began her career with the city in 2008 as finance director of Emergency Management Services. When she became aware of corruption early and continued supplying the evidence with the corruption. But no action was taken they continued looting. In November 2019 Lakraj-Naidoo was appointed to the position of finance director of the Public Safety division. This umbrella department is the City’s largest and employs over 10 000 people. It includes the city police and emergency services as well as its vehicle licencing and camera surveillance Then BOOM she busted a corruption scandal valued at R5.6 BILLION. A person’s name she confidentially told her line manager who was involved in the corruption, suddenly laid a grievance charge against her. She told the city’s anti corruption unit. Just like Babita Deokaran , she was also subjected to serious acts of intimidation. These included threatening phone calls, being followed home, abandoning a vehicle in an unfamiliar area after being forced off the road, a car attempting to force her off the highway and spotting people in parked cars taking photographs of her at home. A report by some anti corruption unit out said SARIKA LAKRAJ-NAIDOO’s incident was “remarkably similar to that received by Gauteng Health [Department] whistle-blower Babita Deokaran before her assassination.” Line manager working with criminals. Late Mayor Geoff Makhubu assigned security detail to her.when he passed away, the same day then City Manger, Floyd Brink removed her security detail. Then she was served with a charge sheet. The city paid tens of millions to lawyers she then was fired. The COJ instead of acting against the alleged perpetrators she had blown the whistle on. FIRED her. She was vindicated by the courts. The lady at the anti corruption unit Zenzele Benedict Sithole who she shared info with was gunned down. This how high the stakes are, Sithole killed, Sarika fired thank god the attempts to kill her failed . ALEX MAFIA LETHAL EVERYONE IN THE MUNICIPALITY IS LOOTING. I am not sure if jhb can come back to its glory, it’s gone far too down.
