Sensational bombshells dropped about police corruption, Senzo Meyiwa's murder and Kelly Khumalo's involvement
Ex policeman and advocate Malesela Teffo is trending because of sensational claims he made on Mac G's podcast yesterday about police corruption and how Senzo Meyiwa's girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo, killed him. X users reacted: @DiphiriBen10 Adv Teffo alleges that the head of the correctional facility called him into his office during his imprisonment and offered him R 45million to drop the Senzo Meyiwa case and concentrate on his career. @Am_Blujay 11 people involved in the Senzo Meyiwa case are dead so far according to Adv Teffo. @SimthembileMab3 According to Adv Teffo, it was not an intruder during a robbery, but rather an accidentally shot by Kelly Khumalo that killed Senzo Meyiwa, a claim that contradicts the official version of events. He says about 11 people have died because of the Meyiwa case and he is now in the line of danger. 'I won't die. If they want me dead, they must ask God first.' He broke down in tears, saying his father died while he was arrested for this case. He further claims that the five accused are being used as scapegoats, suggesting that the State is trying to hide the truth about Meyiwa's murder. He also says former Minister Bheki Cele was the part of drug cartel in Johannesburg 🔥 yooh the man is dropping bombs. @officialtwinny Adv Teffo is not lying, ask yourself why SAPS never destroys drugs like they do with alcohol? Criminals are having a hard time. Thanks to General Mkwanazi and Adv Teffo for exposing them. @ThisIsColbert Adv Teffo: 'I am NOT accusing Lieutenant-General Elias Mawela (Gauteng police commissioner) of being a drug supplier, I KNOW he's doing that.' @Nqobs04 Adv Teffo needs to be protected. He will not rest until there's justice in that Senzo Meyiwa case. @_AfricanSoil Adv Teffo is fighting; what's going on? He is talking about dockets moving around, wrong people writing letters; NPA not following the law and correct processes He's dropping people's names of lawyers and prosecutors. @Solopearl Adv Malesela Teffo tried to expose SAPS corruption, but his unorthodox approach made us doubt him. Until recent revelations proved him right to a certain extent. His dramatic arrest on live TV was meant to silence him. @ZaBornfree General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has balls, he is a Provincial commissioner but tackling National Drug Syndicate Teffo just implicte Commissioner Mawele, Bheki Cele and Kelly Khumalo. @ZikhaliBandile We should vividly appreciate whoever is exposing the Dark Secrets of the SAPS. Adv Teffo, Gen. Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and Arthur Fraser. It is clear now that some SAPS Top officials are the biggest security threat to our sovereignty and freedom. An ACT is highly needed. @AngeloPhungula Adv Teffo on Podcast And Chill saying he's gonna fill up the gaps left by General Mkhwanazi @SirDavid_Dashe Adv Tefo has suffered. I no longer trust the judiciary, SAPS, and the media. The media made him look like a crazy psychopath and we fell for it. DAILY NEWS

‘Enough is enough' — Kelly Khumalo reacts to claim she killed Senzo Meyiwa
Singer Kelly Khumalo says she's had enough of being linked to the murder of footballer Senzo Meyiwa. Senzo, who was Kelly's boyfriend, was killed in October 2014 at her family home in Vosloorus. Those in the house at the time of the murder were Kelly, her sister Zandie, her mother Ntombi, her son Christian and three of Senzo's friends. In the latest episode of Podcast and Chill, disbarred attorney Malesela Teffo claimed Kelly killed Senzo unintentionally when trying to hand him a gun. Malesela also brought forth a supposed warrant of arrest for Kelly. Responding to his claim, Kelly shared a video saying Malesela's claims were part of a humiliation ritual he started in the courtroom and said he was also going on 'sketchy' podcasts. 'Enough is enough. It stops here and it stops today. I'm not going to be diplomatic about this. I'm not going to release press statements, I'm not going to waste my money hiring lawyers to speak on my behalf,' she said. 'If you strongly believe I am capable of what you are accusing me of, very simple, come and get me. I'm not above the law. I'm at a point where I have had enough of people dragging my name through the mud. It stops now. The stupid humiliation rituals you have been performing using me over the years, enough. If you feel I am the woman you are coming after, come and get me. I fear no man. Until then back off.' Watch the video below:

'I will not allow this to pass without consequence' — Minnie Dlamini to pursue legal action against MacG
Minnie took to her timeline on Tuesday responding to MacG's apology. She said she had never made negative statements about the podcaster and was emotionally affected by his comments. 'Over the past few weeks, I have watched in disbelief and deep pain as my name, body and dignity were dragged through the mud of public discourse, triggered by the vile, humiliating and inexcusable comments made by Mukwevho on his podcast. 'This is not about ego — this is about systemic misogyny. While I have chosen not to dignify the specifics with a response, I must emphasise there is nothing entertaining or provocative about weaponising a woman's body for clout, commentary or so-called content. What occurred was not banter — it was a grotesque and deeply harmful violation of my dignity, humanity and constitutional rights as a woman.' Minnie said she had received an apology from the Podcast and Chill legal team but felt it was too little to late. 'An apology, offered only after the damage is done and reputations are on the line, is not a meaningful act of accountability, especially when it comes from a platform that has made misogyny part of its brand. This was not a lapse in judgment. It was a reflection of values consistently displayed and defended by the show and its host. 'To apologise now, only when public pressure threatens their image, is to centre their own reputational damage rather than the trauma inflicted on others. And so I must say clearly: words without [genuine] accountability are hollow. I will continue to pursue legal recourse. As a public figure and a mother I must act not only for myself but for every woman whose dignity is violated in the name of content and entertainment.' Minnie thanked those who showed her support. 'It's about every woman who has ever been publicly degraded, digitally humiliated or silenced through shame. This moment has again spotlighted the disturbing normalisation of misogyny in the entertainment industry and online platforms. We need systemic change. 'We need accountability and we must decide what sort of public discourse we are willing to defend — or dismantle. I am a mother, a daughter and a sister. This episode has caused harm not only to me but to those closest to me. Innocent people. That said, I will not allow this to pass without consequence. Because it's not just about my name — it's about protecting the dignity of women everywhere.'

Media bullies should not be shielded by popularity
The more offensive the content, the more it profits—and that must change. No platform should be above accountability. In the late '90s, the Jerry Springer Show surpassed the queen of talk shows, Oprah Winfrey, in the television viewer ratings. It left many shocked and in disbelief. Winfrey's show had for many years ruled in the ratings because it was deemed as a wholesome show based on promoting family values of respect, love, honesty and healing. It had just been surpassed by a show that depended on the shock value of violence, nudity, sex, prejudice and just plain crassness to attract viewers. Fast forward 20 years later and South African television and podcast space is experiencing the same thing. Podcaster MacGyver Mukwevho, popularly known as MacG by the over 1.5 million subscribers to his Podcast And Chill YouTube offering, is to be summonsed to appear before a parliamentary portfolio committee for vulgar and disrespectful utterances about celebrity television host Minnie Dlamini. Mukwevho's podcast has partnered with commercial industry entities, among which are the channel, Moja Love, in the MultiChoice stable. ALSO READ: MacG's commenting goes beyond the bounds of free speech The channel and MultiChoice were quick to distance themselves from the vile utterances but the question is, have they done enough? The reason he has been summonsed to appear in parliament is that Deputy Minister in the Presidency Mmapaseka Steve Letsike says they view his utterances to be unhelpful in the fight against gender-based violence (GBV). She is not off the mark. But, as is always the case with our parliament's intervention in matters that affect ordinary citizens, this comes a little too late in the game, 1.5 million subscribers too late. Mukwevho has been riding the shock jock wave for years without consequences at all. ALSO READ: Minnie Dlamini breaks silence following controversial MacG comments The same tactics that the Jerry Springer Show used to gain viewer ratings have been adopted by broadcasters like Mukwevho and many programmes on the Moja Love channel that have commercialised the social lives of the poor and vulnerable, especially women and children, and somehow turned them into regular entertainment for the same audiences. There's been little recourse for those who feel violated by either the insulting content, or the invasion of cameras into their private spaces in the false guise of 'fixing the country'. The lame defence that supporters of broadcasters like Mukwevho and his ilk have is that those aggrieved by their utterances must 'report them to the nearest police station'. This is a joke because it is known that in South Africa, reporting anything hardly ever works. Even worse, they hide behind the astronomical costs that act as a barrier to private individuals suing a moneyed entity. But the question is why would a podcaster with over 1.5 million subscribers not care that they are considered vile and undesirable by portions of society? ALSO READ: MacG says his partnership with MultiChoice is 'a natural evolution' despite it being criticised as a lazy move by the broadcaster [VIDEO] The simple reason is the more viewers going to the platform to see what the fuss is all about, the more money they make from their commercial partners. It works the same way for traditional television channels. The more eyes they have glued to their screens, the more they attract advertisers and the more money they make. So, it pays to degrade women and vulnerable communities. Parliament should not back down because someone feels they are so powerful that they are 'uncancelable', so uncaring that they've left the podcast on to garner views while the dignity of another human being continues to be imperilled by the podcast in question. It is time that parliament went into spaces that have been left to fuel GBV unregulated because the broadcasters think freedom of speech allows them to bully other people.
