Bribes for debt wipes? Slain Emfuleni whistleblower tipped officials

Fraudulent payments? Missing municipal funds? Bribes to wipe service providers' debt? Forty-year-old mother of one, Martha Mani Rantsofu, was no ordinary junior finance clerk in Gauteng's Emfuleni Local Municipality, because by our accounts, she was a whistleblower knocking on some dangerous doors. While the Gauteng Political Killings Task Team takes a closer look at her hit, News24 journalist, Ntwagaae Seleka, details how the Vaal region has fallen into rack and ruin, with only Emfuleni to blame for the growing mess. Finally, Desmond Tutu was elected Bishop of Cape Town, with On This Day in SA History, our regular segment.
