Investigative journalist Jeff Wicks on his investigation into state capture

On 23 August 2021, a quiet, hardworking single mom was shot down in a hail of bullets as she drove home. Her name was Babita Deokaran, chief accountant at Tembisa Hospital. The izinkabi paid to kill her were caught, but the question remained: who ordered her murder, and why?

Crime reporter Jeff Wicks set out to find the answer – a pursuit that would profoundly change, even endanger, his life. This is an explosive investigation into state capture and a moving tribute to the cost of integrity.

Jeff Wicks, investigative journalist and published author, and a two-times winner of the Taco Kuiper Award, will address the Cape Town Press Club on his explosive investigation into state capture and a moving tribute to the cost of integrity.

He will take questions.

Wicks’  book The Shadow State will be available to purchase at the event.
