Article: Journalists being intimidated: Sunday Times

Journalists Mzilikazi Wa Africa and Stephan Hofstatter are being intimidated, the Sunday Times reported. Wa Africa said he was tipped-off by sources close to South Africa's intelligence bodies that he was "a marked man" and "hitmen have been hired".
 
Disgusting but believable stuff. The province that Wa Afrika is doing a lot of investigation on is notorious for it's "hit lists" (that have been carried out) and corrupt high level politicians. It will be very sad if they pull one of these assassinations off, but targeting the Sunday Times in such an obvious manner will at least force some action.

...the Mabuza fiefdom?
 
The only way to deal with a "death threat" like this, is to NEVER keep quiet about it - publicise it far and wide, as has been done in this case. In the event something then happens to him, it becomes clear that it was indeed a hit.

Oh and it is really, really obvious who ordered the hit ;)

That won’t matter. It will be ignored – remember, “innocent until proven guilty” (and then it never comes to trial, dossiers are ‘lost’ and the scumbag is let out on bail). It will be a “Tch!tch! A robbery gone wrong...we are investigating...the full might of the law...arrests are imminent...” and such like crap. Cele, in his full moronic splendor, might even pronounce personally.

Hmmm, so he'll just commit suicide, by stabbing himself in the back several times :rolleyes:.

Please, if enough people know, and he apparently goes missing, has been hijacked, or even lost his car keys in a brothel, everyone will think something fishy is up (well, not the car keys, people will think those are up something that smells fishy)

I think ‘accidently’ cutting his head off while shaving, is favoured.

How much stuff smells ‘fishy’ and feeble excuses or outright denials are used? It makes no difference how ‘fishy’ things smell, the ANC steamroller will change the bouquet into fishy smelling flowers. No questions permitted.
