No more state deals for ‘Stuttgart’ company tied to Mashatile’s son

from The Lead · host News24

His son has links to a company that once raked in millions from a questionable Gauteng Health Department contract. Now, this business, tied to Deputy President Paul Mashatile’s lad, Thabiso, not only has a fat tax bill and changed its name to that of a major German city, but it’s no longer doing business with the South African state, either. Investigative journalist and author Kyle Cowan tells us why, in this edition, next. Finally, in Rauby’s Pointless Braai Quiz, we ask: Who’s the star of an upcoming documentary that’s now been pulled from SA cinemas? Find out after 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 Simon Sonnekus.
