Top corruption-busting lawyers in the fight of their lives….

Two top lawyers who cracked open the Corruption Mafia at Fort Hare University are now fighting for survival - after their own shock arrests. In this interview with BizNews, labour lawyer Bradley Conradie and forensic lawyer Sarah Burger describe the trauma of their Holllywood-style arrests as the “ultimate way” of “dealing” with them - after years of abuse and a failed assassination attempt. They share their despair that years of work - with a success rate of 98 - 99% - has been “undone by design”. Since 2018, the two successfully dismantled various criminal syndicates that had infiltrated the university, including the politically-connected, the Nigerian, local business, staff, and student syndicates. They also facilitated the resignations and dismissals of about 40 employees who were involved in corrupt/unlawful activities and breaches of their employment conditions and other forms of mischief/misconduct. Additionally, they lodged about 20 cases with the HAWKS, to ensure thorough investigations and legal consequences for the perpetrators. Yet, they were the ones thrown in cells, and now have to fight for their reputations - and their freedom.

Ppl should think twice before saying, criminals should get arrested + brought to book. Its a tall order for those who have to investigate + charge hardened criminals. Investigators have to be prepared to literally put their lives on the line, their families are getting bullied - these 2 ppl are not the 1st to land up in jail for doing whats right - risking everything they worked very hard for.
