In this week’s edition, show presenters Charles Leonard and Amanda Strydom started the show off by talking about one story that will certainly stay on the news agenda for this week – police brutality.Last Tuesday cellphone footage showed taxi driver, Mido Macia, being dragged behind a police van which caused a global outrage. Macia died of head injuries in a police. Last year 720 people died, allegedly at the hands of the police. That is not all. In last week’s Mail & Guardian edition there was a distressing story about the former financial head of the police crime intelligence division, Solly Lazarus, accused of going on a five year shopping spree for vehicles for himself and his family. During that time he splashed out on a Nissan Murano 4×4, a motorcycle, two Honda all-terrain vehicles and a Kia Picanto – all allegedly at the taxpayer’s expense.Other features on the show this week include a trip to Silicon Alley with Amanda, who spoke to Mail & Guardian Online editor Chris Roper, who is on his way to Austin, Texas for this year’s South by South West conference.
