    Inside the Madlanga Commission

    Is the South African justice system being run by a drug syndicate? This week, Caryn Dolley and Marianne Thamm unpack the testimony from the Madlanga Commission that has sent shockwaves through Pretoria. From R55-million in ‘vanishing’ cocaine to the high-ranking police officers allegedly on the payroll of the “Big Five” cartel, we explore how organised crime allegedly moved from the streets to the halls of power.  Hosted by: Marianne Thamm & Caryn Dolley Edited by: Joel Seboa Produced by: Emilie Gambade & Joel Seboa Original Theme Music & Design by: Bernard Kotze You can listen to the podcast everywhere, including YouTube, Apple Podcast and Spotify!

    Mounting evidence suggests Mexican cartel activity in Mzansi

    In April 2026, Mozambican authorities announced a major crackdown that involved confiscating masses of chemicals used to make drugs. They also announced arrests, including of two individuals suspected of being Sinaloa Cartel members from Mexico. Mozambique borders South Africa, suggesting that the notorious cartel is on our doorstep. Now, there’s mounting evidence to suggest it’s actually much closer to home.

    Unpaid Winners and a Race in Crisis: The Soweto Marathon Fallout

    The Soweto Marathon promised prize money and prestige when it took place on 29 November 2025. But nearly six months later, the top finishers are still waiting to be paid. What should have been a routine payout has turned into a widening controversy, with unpaid athletes, conflicting explanations, and Central Gauteng Athletics stepping in to de-sanction the race altogether. Sports minister Gayton McKenzie has said his department plans to temporarily take over the Soweto Marathon. He will meet with the race organisers and Athletics South Africa to help restore governance structures. He also suggested his department would find the budget to pay the out-of-pocket athletes.

    Are hackers holding our local government to ransom?

    South African municipalities are sitting on goldmines of your personal data — ID numbers, addresses, billing details — and they are catastrophically unprepared to protect it. No skills, ancient tech, and bureaucratic red tape have left our local governments wide open to ransomware gangs and phishing attacks. And the thieves? They’re already inside the house.
