Episode Details

A shocking twist in the Julius Mkhwanazi case: a former policewoman, Juan Maree, has been pulled into the investigation. Mkhwanazi, along with Keisha-Leigh Stols, Adrian McKenzie, and Bhekokwakhe Sibande, now face murder, robbery, and defeating justice charges after allegedly orchestrating the brutal torture and killing of businessman Emmanuel Mbense during a warehouse heist in March 2022. Prosecutors are fiercely opposing bail, calling it a threat to justice and warning that releasing them could derail the probe. The alleged raid involved 13 people, including SAPS and EMPD officers, who tortured Mbense until he lost consciousness — and took over half a million rand, plus tools and equipment. Four others connected to the case have already died by gunshot, including Witness D, who confessed to participating in the torture and named Mkhwanazi as part of the crime. The case is far from over — and getting darker by the day.
