We have been investigating the death of #BabitaDeokaran for more than a year. We have exposed the Tembisa Hospital as a contract factory - beset by an extraction network of fake companies. A 🧵of what we have found.
Three weeks before she was murdered, Deokaran reported a list of 217 entities she worried were fraudulent. She died before she could take her probe further, and @GautengHealth seemed happy to ignore what she found.
