SAPS “Cartels”, Political Links & a SECRET Interim Report — What They Don’t Want You to Hear Part 2

South Africa’s crime crisis isn’t “just crime” — it’s alleged syndicates, political interference, and a police system under siege. In Part 2 of my interview with Mighti Jamie, we break down the Mkhwanazi press conference, the Madlanga Commission, the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) controversy, and why the interim report could change everything… if it’s not buried.

✅ In this episode we cover:

-The Mkhwanazi press conference: why it landed like a bombshell
-Allegations involving politicians, police, business networks, and the judiciary
-Why this moment felt different to the public: timing, optics, and fear
-The Madlanga Commission vs Zondo Commission: speed, structure, and outcomes
-The PKTT fallout: who benefits, who loses, and why it matters
-“Brotherhood” claims, messages, payments — and what holds up under scrutiny
-What must be in the interim report (lawfulness, rationality, remedies, prosecutions)
-Why secrecy around the interim report is a public accountability disaster
-Whether Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee is real oversight or political theatre
