News24 | PODCAST | The Lead: More Jozi coalition chaos on the cards? PLUS: Mkhwanazi latest

"New phone who dis?" Well, that’s the attitude of many minority councillors in the currently fractured coalition in the City of Johannesburg, just after leaving their political WhatsApp group. We also bring you the very latest from day two of KZN SAPS boss Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi's questioning in Parliament.

The smaller, minority political parties are easily the kingmakers in the City of Johannesburg.

Now, though, it has emerged that some of them have suddenly exited their shared WhatsApp group. So where does this leave the current configuration of the government of local unity in Jozi? Could it spell more coalition uncertainty for a metro screaming out for proper service delivery?

We catch up with our resident metro journalist in the council, Alex Patrick.

Later in the show, KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi tells MPs that if Crime Intelligence revealed sensitive info about political party funding, “the country will burn”.

Finally, we remember the Jozi gold rush pioneers with “On This Day in SA History”.
