About this episode
The episode discusses the arrest warrant issued for KwaZulu-Natal taxi boss Thomas Siyabonga Getsemane on charges of fraud and extortion.
KwaZulu-Natal taxi boss Thomas Siyabonga Getsemane is wanted by police after a warrant of arrest was issued for fraud and extortion. The charges relate to allegations dating back to 2023. Taxi association SANTACO in KZN says while the warrant is part of the legal process, it does not mean Getsemane is guilty and the claims must still be tested in court. Law enforcement allegedly tried to apprehend him at his La Lucia residence, but he was not located. We spoke to KZN SANTACO Spokesperson, Sifiso Shangase
