Commission continued: Same name, different stories, one rampant police crisis

from The Lead · host News24

From Pretoria to Parliament: we hear from two Fannies in the SAPS this Tuesday. One, a sergeant, Fannie Nkosi, who claims that national deputy top cop Shadrack Sibiya did accept gifts from alleged criminal Vusimusi “Cat” Matlala. And two, national top cop, Fannie Masemola, who insists to MPs that he doesn't target people, simply gets on with his job. Let journalists Karyn Maughan and Jan Gerber bring you up to speed with the two inquiries into claims that criminals have captured the state justice system. Then, in our trending topic, a violent convict who escaped a KwaZulu-Natal prison is back in leg irons. Finally, Apartheid's draconian censorship laws are set in On This Day in SA History. Comment below and send our host, broadcast journalist Graeme Raubenheimer, a voice note: 072 562 3179. To advertise: [email protected]. Full editions drop Monday through Thursday at 19:00 on Spotify, Apple and YouTube. The show is fully produced, presented and edited by Raubenheimer and quality-checked by News24’s editors.
