We begin with a shocking report on a 15-year-old serial rapist from Phokeng, North West, who started his rape spree at just 12-years-old. Despite his early confessions, the Child Justice Act shielded him from prosecution until his eventual arrest — which has sparked heated debate about juvenile justice. Herman weighs-in on what SowetanLIVE readers had to say and community reactions.
Next, we dive into the ongoing trial of Sibusiso Mahlangu and his wife, Lerato Mahlangu, who are accused of murder-for-insurance. The couple allegedly burned a man’s body (Lerato's boyfriend) to fake Sibusiso's death, only to be arrested when he was found alive. Herman breaks down the latest trial's developments.
We also explore the ongoing issue of drug mules, with new cases emerging from OR Tambo International Airport. Koena shares interviews with former mules who were deceived into the dangerous world of drug trafficking.
Chris Brown's upcoming concert in SA has sold out despite controversy over his past. Herman shares his thoughts on what this says about his popularity.
