By Lelethu Mquqo

The Sunday Times is convinced that its journalists Mzilikazi Wa Afrika and Stephan Hofstatter are under threat.

Wa Afrika says he has been tipped-off by sources close to South Africa's intelligence bodies that he is a marked man.

The newspaper has provided extra security for the two men after it became aware that their movements and telephone calls were being monitored.

In a sworn statement, Wa Afrika says he has been warned that he would be killed by hitmen wearing police uniforms.

The two journalists have been working on revelations about police headquarters lease deals of businessman Roux Shabangu.
