Johannesburg - Assassinations and continued death threats against aggrieved Vrede dairy project beneficiaries has left many fearing for their lives while no action is taken by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation , witness Ephraim Dhlamini testified before the state capture commission on Wednesday.
Whistleblower and beneficiary, Philemon Ngwenya, 53, was found murdered and wrapped in blankets in his shack in Thembalihle in October last year. According to media reports, Ngwenya was seemingly killed somewhere else and brought to his shack to make it look like he died in his sleep. According to Dhlamini, fear still sweeps across Vrede to this day when the name of former agriculture MEC Mosebenzi Zwane is raised.
"Thanks Mr Dhlamini for coming despite threats to your lives. Many people in this country, some in high positions, past and present, know a lot about issues being said here, and despite my public call, are not coming forward...but would like everyone to believe they support this commission and yet they withhold very crucial information needed by the commission. Maybe some fear they would lose their jobs...
You speak up, you DIE. WhistleBlower Philemone Ngwenya, let down by the failed EstinaDairy Project, paid with his life - found murdered in his shack. Murderers still walking free. Zwane Ace have MYANC & PP to protect them. Th Poor farming community have nobody to stand 4them
