Feature
Description
Investigative journalist Jeff Wicks set out to find the answer. This quest would profoundly change – evenendanger – his life, as he bravely followed the leads Babita had left behind. Leads that the Hawks, who wereofficially investigating her assassination, had failed to act on.
In THE SHADOW STATE Wicks uncovers an audacious web of crooked officials, ANC politicians, andextraction syndicates – including that of the notorious ‘Cat’ Matlala – siphoning away billions meant forpatients in Gauteng’s public hospitals. An explosive, fast-paced investigation into greed and state capture,this book is also a moving tribute to the courage of one woman who refused to keep quiet.
