Loading player...
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.
