Dear readers,

As the country battles rising crime levels, especially organised crime, the role of the police's crime intelligence gathering has become a key part of this arsenal.

Yet, as we report this weekend, the long-standing disarray in the crime intelligence division is far from being resolved.

Our main story tells of the conflict between the divisional bosses involving a multimillion-rand drug bust. The drama is now playing itself out at the labour court.

And, in a week in which Siya and Rachel Kolisi announced their marriage break up, we shed light on the pressures that bore down on SA’s “golden couple”, including speculation of infidelity, and ended with a split that shocked the country.

In politics, we speak to ANC and state deputy president Paul Mashatile, who discusses his presidential succession prospects. He also calls out DA leader and cabinet minister John Steenhuisen for publicly disagreeing with President Cyril Ramaphosa over the latter's description of Russia as SA’s ally.

For some light relief, you may want to know why columnist Ndumiso Ngcobo can’t wait for the day we “Zulufy” the whole of SA.

Happy reading!
