It’s been three years since South Africa lost yet another brave voice to silence. On this day, we remember Marumo Eric Phenya — the whistleblower who exposed a multimillion-rand corruption scandal at the Department of Home Affairs, and paid for his courage with his life. Phenya uncovered a fraudulent tender worth over R119 million — a deal tainted by deception, kickbacks, and the abuse of public funds. Despite receiving death threats and warnings to stay quiet, he refused to look away. On that October morning in 2022, gunmen ambushed him in Roodepoort, ending his life in a hail of bullets — and leaving behind a wife, children, and a haunting reminder of what it means to tell the truth in South Africa. On the eve of the anniversary of his killing, we are joined by his wife, Johannah Phenya — a woman who has turned her grief into a fight for justice. She continues to demand answers, accountability, and better protection for those who risk their lives to expose corruption. Tonight, we reflect not only on Marumo’s legacy but also on the urgent question: What has changed for South Africa’s whistleblowers since his death?
