In this second episode we get deeper into the work of Mbale Kubheka, the determined attorney who is working to get a conviction for the assassination of Ayanda Ngila. His murder had plenty of witnesses and she needs their testimonies.  We also explore the workings of the organisation that Ayanda belonged to, Abahlali baseMjondolo and their claims of being systematically targeted by South Africa’s ruling party, the ANC.  This is a four-part podcast series produced and presented by Paul McNally...

Ayanda Ngila was assassinated in the Ekhenana communal garden in Durban, South Africa, on the 8th of March, 2022. Ayanda was 30 years old and shot in broad daylight in the middle of the afternoon. He was fixing a water pipe in front of women and children and as he went down he yelled for people to take photos of the scene so the truth of his death could be known. Those are the words of a man who was expecting to be killed and was clearly at the center of a conflict that he imagined would end...

We end the series with a boxing match: Mayweather vs Pacquiao in May 2015 (before the assassination even happened). A fight that was billed “The Battle For Greatness” and how it was gloriously significant for South African politics, Bozwana and the case as a whole.

In this episode we head to Mozambique and investigate how the trend of assassinations is spreading across Africa. We explore the parallels between South Africa and Mozambique, particularly on how their assassination landscapes compare. We hear from experts at The Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime on the business of assassinations and what is needed for the culture to thrive.

In this episode we explore the taxi industry in South Africa more thoroughly. We examine how it is an entry point for violence and assassinations. We explore how you can take back control of a taxi organization and reduce the violence within. We examine the grip that the alleged assassin Vusi “KheKhe” Mathibela has over certain taxi organizations and if he can be stopped.

The alleged assassin who arranged the hitmen who killed Bozwana is on trial. His name is Vusi “KheKhe” Mathibela. He was arrested after one of his co-accused identified him on a CCTV video pointing out Bozwana (while shopping at the luxurious Sandton City in Johannesburg) on the day he was killed. Vusi has built a formidable empire for himself inside the taxi industry (a place infamous for assassinations). We explore how he rose to power and what influence he is still able to wield from...

In this episode we focus on South African politician, Supra Mahumapelo, and how he was allegedly involved with the deceased, Wandile Bozwana. There have been significant and repetitive accusations against Supra that he was the man who ordered the hit against Bozwana. What makes the accusations against Supra ordering the murder more compelling is that it was echoed by a gang member. The gang member turned state witness and filed an affidavit with the Gauteng police’s Provincial Investigations...

Wandile Bozwana was killed in October 2015 while stopped at a red traffic light on the N1 Garsfontein-offramp in Pretoria, South Africa. Bozwana died a billionaire, having built his fortune acquiring government contracts.Too Many Enemies, produced by Volume and the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime, takes you on an investigative journey into the dangerous dealings of Bozwana that led up to his death, and the larger story of booming assassination industries flourishing in...
