The crew of the popular anti-drug show Sizokuthola is in trouble after a suspected drug dealer they were questioning died in strange circumstances. The police have opened a murder case and are investigating. The crew, along with the Gauteng Patrollers, confronted the alleged drug dealer at a house in Katlehong on Wednesday.
According to the suspected drug dealer’s girlfriend, he was attacked at home, suffocated with a plastic bag and pepper spray. His body was taken away in a bakkie and later pronounced dead at a hospital. No one has been arrested yet, but the police investigation is ongoing. The death of the suspected drug dealer has sparked a media frenzy, with many people calling for the Sizokuthola crew to be arrested. However, the show’s presenter, Xolani Khumalo, has denied any wrongdoing, saying that the crew acted within the law.
Khumalo is a vocal critic of the ANC government, and he has accused the government of trying to silence him. He has also said that he believes the death of the suspected drug dealer was a set-up. The ANC government has denied any involvement in the death of the suspected drug dealer. However, the fact that Khumalo is being targeted by the government has raised concerns about the safety of journalists in South Africa.
This is not the first time that the Sizokuthola crew has been in trouble. In the past, the crew has been accused of using excessive force when interrogating suspected drug dealers. However, the crew has always denied these allegations.
The death of the suspected drug dealer has highlighted the dangers that journalists face when reporting on sensitive topics.
