South Africa's top anti-corruption official fears for her life after learning from an informant that hitmen are being contracted to kill her, her spokeswoman said on Sunday. "On April 1 she received a text message from an informant, and that informant warned her to be careful. "She is concerned about her safety and security," Masibi said, adding that Madonsela knew the informant personally. Western Cape province has a reputation for gangsterism and organised crime but Masibi said Madonsela did not know who wanted to kill her. She also said Madonsela had been told by the informant that the hit "should be made to look natural".
