CLICK HERE to get connected to Pluxnet Fibre Internet: https://pluxnet.vegacore.co.za/signup?source=missmediapromo&reseller_id=1 Gauteng Traffic Police Chief Inspector Samuel Mashaba has died. His death comes months after his appearance before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, where he faced tough questions about the controversial 2021 Aeroton cocaine bust involving drugs valued at approximately R300 million. In this video, Miss Media unpacks the breaking news, Mashaba’s precautionary suspension, the questions raised during his Madlanga Commission testimony, and his relationship with businessman Tumelo Nku, who allegedly provided information about the cocaine consignment. We look at what the commission heard about the seizure of more than 715kg of cocaine, the handling of the intelligence tip-off, and questions surrounding money Mashaba acknowledged receiving from Nku, which he described as loans or assistance from a friend. We also explain why Mashaba was placed on precautionary suspension after his testimony and what is known about the disciplinary concerns raised by the Gauteng government. IMPORTANT: The cause of Samuel Mashaba’s death has not been officially confirmed in the reports cited here. The allegations and questions raised during the commission should not be treated as findings of guilt. What happens next, and what does Mashaba’s death mean for public understanding of the issues raised at the Madlanga Commission? Watch until the end and share your views respectfully in the comments.
