About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of corruption among South Africa's police on the justice system and public trust.

The increasingly close ties between politicians, criminal networks and police has eroded belief in South Africa's justice system, and given rise to fears of deeply embedded corruption. We look at how South Africans are dealing with the jaw-dropping allegations. Host Eddy Micah talks to policing researcher David Bruce, and DW's Nontokozo Mchunu in Cape Town.
