Coalition crumbles and cloak and dagger dealings in Joburg metro
Description
The game of thrones, with its political musical chairs for coalition maneuvering now even has smaller parties pitted amongst each other in the government of local unity in the City of Johannesburg where local service delivery has suffered and urban decay has set in, in more recent years. Central to the latest bout of inter-political unhappiness is a long-winded investigation into an alleged device used to spy on councillors. Our metro reporter on the story Alex Patrick is joining us in this edition of The Lead. Later in the show, the police’s top brass head to court against each other. Finally, Home Affairs teams up to introduce bank app-first ID and passport applications.
