The trial of the six men accused of arranging a hit on whistleblower Babita Deokaran is set to resume in the Johannesburg High Court on Monday.
Phakamani Hadebe, Zitha Radebe, Phinda Ndlovu, Sanele Mbhele, Siphiwe Mazibuko and Siphakanyiswa Dladla appeared briefly before the Court on July 17.

They stand accused of the murder of the alleged whistleblower who was fatally shot outside of her Winchester Hills home on August 23, 2021.
Deokaran was the chief director of financial accounting at the Gauteng Department of Health.

The accused have been in prison with no bail since their arrest in 2021. They are expected to plead when the case resumes.
While the Hawks previously insisted more arrests were imminent, almost two years later, the six men remain only as suspects before court.
