Earlier this year (2024), the Special Investigating Unit provided a breakdown of some of the biggest corruption cases it successfully dealt with in 2023. The crime-busting Unit reported that it recovered more than R380 million in cold hard cash and assets, during the course of last year. In 1996 the Special Investigating Unit was established in terms of the Special Investigating Units and Special Tribunal Act 74 of 1996. The vision of the SIU is to be the state's preferred and trusted forensic investigation and litigation agency. Tonight we ask, Is the SIU winning the fight against corruption?... Joining me in Studio to unpack the milestones and challenges faced by the Special Investigating Unit, is its Spokesperson Mr Kaizer Kganyago. But first lets hear what President Cyril Ramaphosa said during this year's state of the nation address regarding law enforcement agencies.

It is somewhat ironic that despite its much-publicized triple challenges of inequality, poverty and unemployment, South Africa is well renowned for its abundance of mineral resources. Earlier this month, key stakeholders in the mining industry gathered in Cape Town during the 30th Anniversary of the Mining Indaba. Investing in African Mining Indaba was held under the theme, Embracing the power of disruption, a bold new future for African Mining. Tonight we ask: Who benefits from South Africa's minerals? To help me unpack the discussion in Studio are the founder and National Chairperson of the Association of Women in Mining South Africa Ms Mamosa Modise, as well as Ms Phyllia Ngoatje, who is Head of Paralegal Unit at Mining Affected Communities United in Action, MACUA. Joining me on Zoom, is the Chairperson of the Mining Indaba Advisory Board, Mr Frans Baleni. But first, let's hear what President Cyril Ramaphosa said when addressing the Investing in African Mining Indaba held earlier this month in Capetown.
