The Democratic Alliance has taken the matter of the Public Investment Corporation to the Information Regulator, accusing the PIC of unlawfully withholding key public documents, including the Mokgoro Advisory Panel report and the PIC's final implementation report on the Mpati Commission's recommendations. These reports relate to serious allegations that emerged from the Mpati Commission of Inquiry, which exposed governance failures, conflicts of interest, weak oversight, and alleged misconduct in one of the country's most powerful financial institutions, managing approximately 3-trillion rand in public pension funds. We spoke to Democratic Alliance's Deputy Spokesperson on Appropriations, Andrew Bateman.

Rise Mzansi MP and Section 89 Committee Chairperson Makashule Gana has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to intervene in what he describes as a deepening conflict within South Africa's criminal justice system. Gana says tensions between SAPS and the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) are undermining public confidence in law enforcement. His remarks come as senior police generals challenge IDAC's authority, filing an urgent complaint with the Justice Minister over an ongoing corruption case. The allegations stem from claims of corruption in recruitment processes, despite a prior SAPS investigation that reportedly cleared the panel of wrongdoing. IDAC has allegedly postponed scheduled arrests, citing national security concerns and the risk of unrest linked to planned June 30 demonstrations. We spoke to Forensic investigator,  Chad Thomas

A major legal and diplomatic standoff has come to an end, at least in the courts. South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal has ruled decisively in favour of the family of Zambia's late former President, Edgar Lungu, blocking efforts by the Zambian government to repatriate his remains. At the heart of this case: who has the final say over a former head of state's burial, the nation or the family? The court has made it clear: the family's rights come first. We spoke to Chanoda Ngwira, a close friend to the former president.
