Episode Details

The airwaves were dominated by two intertwined crises: President Ramaphosa's prime-time address on gender-based violence following the Ekurhuleni murders, and the astonishing bail hearing of suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya on rape and grooming charges. Stations also tracked weekend tavern mass shootings that reignited the illegal-guns debate, fresh Madlanga Commission testimony from taxi boss Joe Sibanyoni, and the Proteas' bid for an ODI whitewash of Australia.
