Episode Details

The wife of a slain police informant is now facing murder charges, joining five others—including a suspended police chief—in the brutal case that shocked South Africa. The victim, Emmanuel Mbense, was tortured and killed in April 2022, his body dumped in a dam, sparking a tangled web of corruption, cover-ups, and violence. Her husband, Wiandre Pretorius, died by suicide just days after surviving an apparent assassination attempt—himself once linked to the killing of a security boss who testified against the police chief. With the state branding this as a Schedule Six offense, bail is nearly impossible unless extraordinary circumstances are proven. As the court weighs their fate, the case grows darker with each new revelation—and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
