Episode Details

Former top cop Shadrack Sibiya dominated the day on air, with nearly every station tracking his resignation and another explosive recording played at his bail hearing. The 4 November local elections shaped much of the rest of the news cycle: the ANC fought its candidate-list exclusion in the Constitutional Court, the EFF challenged Parliament's impeachment committee in the Western Cape High Court, and soldiers were deployed to KZN and Gauteng after anti-immigrant violence. A record matric cohort started exams, and Formula One's surprise announcement of an African Grand Prix in Rwanda gave sport and business desks plenty to debate.
