What's UP @ Tuks?:
15 UP athletes have been selected for the Commonwealth Games. TuksSport contributed 19 medals at previous Games. Swimmers Pieter Coetzé and Erin Gallagher are the top medal prospects.
Di Polotiki tsa Mzansi (SA Politics):
King Misuzulu caught on video verbally abusing his wife and insulting a church leader. He apologised and was forgiven by Prophet Shembe. The incident sparked debate on accountability for traditional leaders. He then fired his Prime Minister for the second time over the Ingonyama Trust.
Current Affairs:
A police officer got a suspended 10-year sentence for accidentally shooting his son, whom he mistook for an intruder.
Madlanga Commission:
Four senior officials have been arrested for fraud. Final report deadline for the commission has been extended by President Cyril Ramaphosa to November. Alleged crime boss "Cat" Matlala's testimony postponed after his plea deal collapsed. 16 people arrested so far, including 12 senior police officials.
Crime and Courts:
DA goes to court over Tshwane council vote rigging. Speaker allegedly deducted votes to suspend the City Manager and downgrade CFO charges. Both decisions were reversed from original outcomes.
International Scoop:
Former UK minister Braverman said colonies should pay Britain back for colonial "investment." The show calls this absurd, pointing out Britain extracted trillions and left behind conflict-ridden borders.
