On several occasions when her number was dialled, it was not available on the network. The last call was made at 6:45pm. Information gathered from impeccable sources was that the former Senate hopeful feared for her life after she has been receiving numerous calls from unknown people who made threats to her. It has also been established from impeccable sources that security had been provided to ensure her safety following the threats.

According to the source, the former Senate hopeful was advised to keep low following the threats.

Chief Police Information and Communications Officer Superintendent Phindile Vilakati said her office had not received any formal report on intimidation from the ex-Senate hopeful. Vilakati, when pressed further on the matter and told that it was reported that the former Senate aspirant was offered security, she said it was allowed that she could approach officers to assist her when fearing for her life.
