“I’ve lost my love; my children have lost their father and our country a hero,” writes Witness D’s weeping partner. Security officials speculate on two motives for his murder: his testimony before the Madlanga Commission or his participation in the removal of a camp where illegal miners operated from. Leanne McClein, the partner of Witness D to the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, who was murdered in an apparent hit on Friday night, sat sobbing next to a pair of his tekkies on their couch. A pile of wet tissue paper mopped up tears of shock.
