Xenophobia is spreading from Durban to Pretoria to Johannesburg. The March on March movement is shutting down CBDs, politicians from the ANC to ActionSA are fuelling it, and the police are taking selfies with the march leaders instead of stopping them.
Rob Rose and Zukile Majova dig into why this lawlessness is possible and why the leadership vacuum in law enforcement is letting it happen.
Then they get into Sisisi Tolashe, the social development minister and ANC Women’s League president who registered two government cars in her children’s names, one of whom sold the car and handed back a different one to Luthuli House.
Cyril acted on Masemola but cannot seem to act on her. Zukile explains exactly why. And finally, Solly Malatsi launched South Africa’s AI policy and then had to pull it because it was full of AI hallucinations. Rob and Zukile ask whether the government is half a step away from incompetence at all times and introduce the man responsible. His name is Chad Du Plessis.
