Your favorite Sunday reading is packed with great articles, and the question of the week has to be who’s next on the Hawks’ radar? Followed by, how much does the avalanche of arrests have to do with the next major ANC conferences?
Here’s what to expect from this week’s issue:
Former Police Commissioner Missing From Hawks Raids Says She’s Too Old To Run From Police
“I am too old to run. I am married, I have children and I am at home in Durban. These were the words of former senior KwaZulu-Natal policeman Lt. Gen. Mmamonnye Ngobeni, who was said to be on the run after the Hawks embarked on extensive raids across the country this week.
Ngobeni is accused of trying to suppress any investigation into businessman Thoshan Panday and his cohorts, and of “accepting a bonus” from Panday, who paid for her husband’s birthday party at the upscale Thyme @ Royal Palm restaurant at the Royal Palm hotel in Umhlanga.
The big week of SA wives

Gauteng Expands Corruption Investigation

Throughce Kaybee’s exit strategy
Deejay, producer and sometimes applause specialist for Twitter Prince Kaybee, whose real name is Kabelo Motsamai, released an album after searching for 10 promising artists to appear on a compilation he produced.
All the artists are female and, along with arguably his best collaborator, singer Msaki, he has released Project Hope (season 1). The album has nine tracks and gives us insight into a different side of deejay, which was discovered on a talent search show on SABC1 in 2015.
