About this episode

The episode discusses the recommendation by the Human Rights Commission to dissolve the Makana local government in Makhanda due to its failure to meet voter needs.

11 Junie 2026: Die Menseregtekommissie beveel aan dat die Makana-plaaslike owerheid in Makhanda ontbind, omdat hulle nie die behoeftes van die kiesers dien nie. Sowat 80% van selfdoodgevalle in Suid-Afrika is mans. Sommige lede van die parlement se Polisiekomitee sê daar is 'n toesmeerdery van die diefstal op president Cyril Ramaphosa se Phala-Phala-plaas.
