Molefe’s warning was made in a press statement that was issued after it emerged that a Transnet employee, who escaped unharmed on Saturday when gunmen opened fire on him, had received death threats since the commencement of litigation against former Transnet executives accused of corruption.
“We have been aware of dirty tricks and a fight-back campaign by those involved in the looting of Transnet during the state capture era. This campaign escalated during the Transnet submissions to the Zondo commission, but has reached a new level with this attempt to take out one of our team,” Molefe said in the statement.
