Mkhwanazi in Parly. Maumela, Sibiya raids. PLUS: Bafana FIFA preview

Loading player...
Die poppe is besig om te dans! Translated: the dolls are busy dancing! Which essentially means the chickens have come home to roost. While the SIU raids tender don Morgan Maumela’s Sandton mansion, and heavily armed officers swarm the Centurion home of suspended top cop Shadrack Sibiya, KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi wrapped up his evidence before Parliament’s ad-hoc committee at midnight on Wednesday. Our senior Parliamentary journalist, Jan Gerber, has been burning the midnight oil to keep us abreast of any major Mkhwanazi takeaways there. Later in the show, we cross to our football aficionado, Tashreeq Vardien, in Durban for the critical Bafana Bafana Friday clash against Zimbabwe in the aftermath of Mokoena-gate. Finally, with “On This Day in SA History”, did you know a South African once traversed the famous Channel Tunnel wearing flip flops? You can send our host, broadcast journalist Graeme Raubenheimer, a voice note with your questions or thoughts on the show: 072 562 3179. Mail us: thelead@24.com. Full editions drop Monday through Thursday at 19:00 on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.
