Aubrey Matshiqi unpacks: Mkhwanazi, Jermaine Prim, Ramaphosa, Kunene vs Malema, Mchunu, Madlanga

Gogo Aubrey Matshiqi joins us on SMWX for a much-anticipated breakdown of the latest at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry and Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee. From Jermaine Prim's mystery letter to the defamation case between Kenny Kunene and Julius Malema. We unpack this all and more!

Malema vs Kunene: high-stakes legal fight

Julius Malema and Kenny Kunene are now locked in a high-stakes defamation battle — and the implications could be massive for South African politics. What started as claims on Podcast & Chill has now escalated into court proceedings, with serious allegations, sworn affidavits, and explosive testimony entering the public domain. From claims about visits to a controversial farm, to allegations of cash exchanges, this case intersects directly with the “Big Five cartel” narrative, the Madlanga Commission, and broader questions about power, politics, and influence in South Africa.

SA Police Boss Masemola charged!

In this episode, we react to breaking news about the SAPS National Commissioner General Fannie Masemola being charged, Sergeant Nkosi’s testimony at the Madlanga Commission and Rivo Spies’ evidence too.

Malema faces backlash for slamming Mkhwanazi

EFF Leader, Julius Malema, recently addressed an EFF voter registration rally and he took the opportunity to respond to some parts of Lt Gen Mkhwanazi's testimony before Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee. Malema swung at Lt Gen Mkhwanazi for allegedly involving him in his fights with Major Gen Khan. We explore this and other key moments in the last week of testimonies.

Crazy prison letter links Cat Matlala to Phala Phala?

Lt Gen Mkhwanazi shared a potentially explosive but unverified prison letter with Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee and now we have it. The document which Mkhwanazi placed before the Ad Hoc Committee reportedly written by a former cellmate of Cat Matlala makes serious allegations that reach the highest levels of South African politics. It claims links between Matlala and President Cyril Ramaphosa, and names senior ministers Senzo Mchunu and Gayton McKenzie. McKenzie has already strongly denied these claims. So the question is, is this letter significant or just a desperate ploy from an unreliable source? 
Viewers are strongly encouraged to watch and share the full video to ensure proper context. We discourage the circulation of isolated clips without a link to the full video, in the interest of fairness to all those implicated.

Ramaphosa throws Senzo Mchunu overboard
