- Description
- In murky organised crime arenas, the irrefutable facts take the form of a murder toll. A dead body equates to cold, hard fact. The stories spun around it, some which may be intentionally planted to divert from truth and those guilty of crime, need to be carefully unravelled.
Organised crime suspect Mark Lifman consistently denied accusations that he was linked to lawbreaking. The businessman was assassinated in the Western Cape town of George on 3 November 2024 while facing accusations, and on trial, for the assassination of another organised crime suspect - Brian “the Steroid King” Wainstein.

- A film by Emilie Gambade & Malibongwe Tyilo. In a world where media’s credibility is being questioned, where fake news spreads like wildfire, the work of investigative journalists is imperative – and their presence on social media often an important counterweight to disinformation. But it is also a mouse-and-cat space in which journalists and bullies battle across the digital world.
The film aims to highlight the personal stories and exceptional work of four women journalists in South Africa, Ferial Haffajee, Marianne Thamm, Pauli van Wyk and Caryn Dolley; it explores what suddenly shifted the discourse around the stories published, what sparked the attacks, what made them so personal and vicious; it is also a story of hope, inspiration, resilience and incredible strength.

- Description
- This is the scandal that has lacerated the South African Police Service and implicated
some of the country’s top cops and politicians.
A story of Mandela’s top cop, steeped in apartheid-era sabotage across local and global
criminal investigations spanning decades. Add in nefarious individuals, from an
informant once close to Colombia’s Pablo Escobar, to several suspected Cape Town
crime kingpins, the stakes only get higher.
Dolley provides unprecedented insight into how apartheid-era policing structures lay
the foundations for cop-gangster collusion and how these have endured into democracy.
With exclusive access to retired policeman André Lincoln’s life, Dolley exposes the dirty
ploys that have swung South Africa’s trajectory; how street-level killings could be
flashpoints of deep state proxy wars; and raises suspicions about who in Nelson
Mandela’s realm backstabbed whom.
