The Madlanga Commission says significant progress has been made following the announcement of the establishment of a task team, assigned with implementing the commission's recommendations to President Cyril Ramaphosa. The task team was established after the commission's interim report referred five senior SAPS officials for investigation, including KwaZulu-Natal Hawks head, Lesetja Senona. The amended deadline for the commission's final report is 17 March this year. However, the commission's spokesperson Jeremy Michaels says it is expected that Justice Madlanga and President Ramaphosa will engage further on a possible extension, given the lengthy list of witnesses still to testify. For a look at the processes to be followed now, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Political Analyst, Professor Sethulego Matebesi and Retired Interpol Ambassador and Security Strategist, Andy Mashaile

Aid workers are scrambling to access flood ravaged areas of Mozambique to provide much-needed support, but are facing a mammoth task. At least 600,000 people have been affected in Gaza province alone, where over 10,000 square kilometres is covered by floodwater. In response to the floods, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) has dispatched its Emergency Response Team to assist in mop up operations in that country. The regional body says the team will work on the ground to assess humanitarian needs, evaluate the scale of the impact and support national response efforts as affected communities grapple with the aftermath of heavy rains, infrastructure damage and displacement. For more on this, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Chief of Staff at the SADC Secretariat and lead of the mission to Mozambique, Brigadier General Chere Makhetha
