"Truth Be Told' documentaries

Across Africa, many countries are exploring how technology can modernise elections, from biometric registration to electronic and even internet-based voting.

 In South Africa, the idea of introducing e-voting and i-voting is now under discussion, with electoral authorities consulting communities and traditional leaders about what this could mean in practice. But questions remain about infrastructure, digital skills, trust, and whether rural citizens could be left behind.

To help us unpack this debate, we’re joined now by Ambassador Professor Thabo Mpyane, President of the Sovereign Congress of African Leaders.​

South African (SA) authorities are conducting a nationwide manhunt after armed assailants killed at least nine people and injured ten others in a late-night shooting at a tavern in Bekkersdal, a township about 46 kilometres west of Johannesburg, SA's largest city.

 Police say about a dozen gunmen, travelling in two vehicles, opened fire with multiple pistols and an assault rifle on patrons inside and outside the establishment in the early hours of Sunday, before fleeing the scene.

This is the second mass shooting at drinking establishments in South Africa in recent weeks, part of a broader surge in firearm violence that has alarmed communities and put pressure on police resources

To help us understand what is driving this wave of violence and the challenges facing law enforcement, Mike Bolhuis, Specialist Investigator.
