JOHANNESBURG – The whistleblower Phadima Fukula arrested by the Hawks in Johannesburg on Tuesday evening. A source with the information told “The Insight Factor” that Fukula was taken to the Eastern Cape, where he alleged the Hawks attempted to kill him.
Fukula who had been missing have accused Eastern Cape premier Oscar Mabuyane, president Cyril Ramaphosa of paying DCJ Raymond Zondo a bribe of R5-million.
According to Daily News, on March 30, this year, Fukula reported a criminal complaint against Mabuyane and the judge in the East London Police station – CAS 579/3/2021. In his statement seen by the Daily News, Fukula said in 2016 he was working as an ANC branch level activist in the East London area, leading campaigns ahead of the 2017 ANC elective conference at Nasrec, Johannesburg.
Among other tasks, Fukula claimed he was sent to deliver R5 million to the judge.
He went missing without a trace on April 9 after apparently being summoned to the East London police station by an investigating officer who allegedly wanted to interrogate Fukula and required more evidence to substantiate his claims.
According to Fukula’s police statement, he was allegedly approached by a comrade who introduced him to Mabuyane who, at a meeting, allegedly requested Fukula be part of his campaign team for the ‘CR17’ and promised to reward him in return for his co-operation.

Whistleblower joined the campaign, which he said required them to travel to other provinces to allegedly buy votes leading to the Nasrec conference.
“Around July 2017, we received instruction from Mr Mabuyane to deliver money to Rustenburg in the North West and that we were to meet him there,” read Fukula’s statement.
