I never expected Ngcukaitobi to speak so plainly. I thought Clan ties with Mbenenge would have kept him quiet, unless he decided the clan- name itself was being dragged through the mud🤣🤣🤣
That puts him at the opposite end of the spectrum from Notyesi, who comes from the same clan. No surprise then, that some people can’t stand him & dismiss him as a white lackey.

I'm shocked that he was still chairing a committee after he was charged. Why did it take so long for the ANC to implement step-aside
The joint standing committee on defence has elected a new co-chairperson following the sudden and unexplained removal of Malusi Gigaba from the position. ewn.co.za/2026/09/02/parliam…

I used to wonder why in some of Sandton’s upscale restaurants, you’d see wealthy Black men dining with beautiful women & spending like there's no tomorrow. Step outside, there are sports cars & armored luxury vehicles with heavily armed guards waiting in the parking lot. The answer became clearer, security firms, taxi fleet ownership, proceeds of tender swindling, drugs, extortion rackets & other underworld activities

Rest in peace, Cllr Wele. Your sudden passing is deeply shocking. Strength and comfort to your loved ones

The picture that has since emerged is that Fadiel Adams was not the complaint in this matter, but a useful idiot who accepted to be used by the IDAC to drive this (malicious prosecution) persecution. IDAC tried to conceal involvement Paul O'Sullivan while he told everyone cares to listen that he was about to nail other group of generals for her appointment.
The media eagerly prosecuted and persecuted this woman based on the lies of Paul O’Sullivan, Andrea Gorgeous Johnson and Fadiel Adams.
The media did not question the claims of future state capture. They did not question claims that she was there to steal secret service money.

Mxolele mkhuluwa, his role is to give confidence in the decisions to prosecute. He isn’t exposed to the processes followed to arrive at those decisions.
But, on a side note, someone could have picked up that something was wrong when a junior Joy Hlatshwayo was tasked with bringing this matter to court. She struggled to put a sentence together, eter Serunye had to jump in
The whole NPA needs to be invited to the Madlanga. This is the same Kaizer Kganyago who was arrogant on TV telling the public that IDAC hass a strong case. He should be recovering out of embarrassment
NPA is embarrassing!

I've warned about these so-called reformed crooks, who look decent & are very articulate or media savvy but still crooks with change of tactics
I just can't over this video, when this Stuart person come from wherever and start intermidiating a Journalist that is at work.
Hope he's chased out , so that abanye bantwana can do their job well, without fear.
If he didn't want to his pictures or videos o taken he should have STAY at home .

Why is Adams making representations to the commission on his behalf?

Yes, those weapons are more for intimidation than close protection
Taxi bosses are often protected by men carrying huge rifles. The irony is that those firearms aren’t really designed for close protection. Even the US President or President Ramaphosa’s close-protection officers don’t typically carry weapons like that😂

Parliament embarked on its own fact-finding mission, but each of those 8 parties in that commity was on its own mission. Up to now they can't put together a report because they arrived at different conclusions

He's the founder of ASA, so there's no need for elections there. He tasted mayoral glory, thanks to DA, but I doubt he's going to wear that mayoral chain ever again
Q: Mashaba standing for JHB mayor for third time. He has yet to face an ASA elective conference. Which will happen first? 1. Mashaba elected JHB mayor again 2. Mashaba elected ASA president?

Is the judge related to eNCA's Norman?

Mkhwanazi inquiry hits dispute over Parliament's power to make findings
Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee probing allegations by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has entered a sharp dispute over how far MPs can go in making findings against implicated figures.
On Thursday, 13 August 2026, the committee continued work on its fourth draft report. Chairperson Soviet Lekganyane warned that the inquiry must not become a "laughing stock" by avoiding clear conclusions where the evidence supports them.
DA Chief Whip Glynnis Breytenbach cautioned against findings based on hearsay or conjecture, and stressed that the committee cannot determine criminal guilt. That role belongs to the courts. Parliament may make findings on governance failures, misconduct, and institutional weaknesses, and recommend reforms, referrals, or further probes but not declare people criminally guilty.
The committee was established in July 2025 to test Mkhwanazi's allegations of political interference, corruption, and maladministration in the criminal justice system, and to consider needed reforms. After repeated extensions, Speaker Thoko Didiza revived it with a final deadline of 11 September 2026.
The eventual report could recommend investigations, disciplinary steps, criminal referrals, or systemic changes. The current clash underscores the tightrope MPs must walk: delivering accountability without overstepping Parliament's constitutional limits.
MDNtv will continue tracking the proposed findings and party positions on the final report.

Our objective is to prove Mkhwanazi's case, clear Masemola & Khumalo. To prove that Mchunu is too contaminated to lead the police
Approach the #MadlangaCommission objectively. Remember the aim is not to objectify nor denigrate. Exercise caution and patience and do not pre-judge. Wait until after each witness has been probed by the commissioners.
That said, when will Mr Nku be back, if at all.

Was it a smash & grab or they were under attacked, stoned with bricks?
Ian Cameron was involved in a Cape Town smash and grab where a minor was shot and wounded. Was he ever charged? He said it was selfdefence, but that doesn’t automatically clear him of the shooting.What happened to his charges ?
