What's the deal with police now fighting each other? Justice also answers the question "What ever happened to Richard Mdluli?" Also, what is his take on Charlie Sheen?

Justice Malala brings the latest scorching edition of The Burning Platform from Cape Town, beginning with why he describes the citizens of this country as acting like they're in an abusive relationship with its leaders. Violence is still occurring in universities around the country, why? What is happening at SAA and why is Dudu Miyeni not budging? Malala touches on this as well as Cyril Ramaphosa's future prospects.

Justice Malala, author of 'We Have Now Begun Our Descent', comes to the party with another scorching hot edition of The Burning Platform, fired up by Nando's. He kicks things off by looking at how South Africa can begin to save itself. Malala discusses whether anything will change within the ANC camp after Kgalema Motlanthe's remarks and Gwede Mantashe's new post in the Business Day. A spotlight is also cast on Justice Minister Michael Masutha, Danny Jordaan and the big R2.3 billion that was brought up in Parliament recently. Lastly, the Khulekani Mpanza story raises the question - "Are the police above the law?"

Still unsure of the meaning of the EFF march? Well Justice Malala is on hand to elaborate on this. The #FeesMustFall movement is still a hot topic despite the main protests dying down, but what is the result here? With all this uncertainty, it's almost fitting that the unemployment rate has also gone up!

An action packed session of politics and protests, teed up by Justice Malala and enhanced by Anthea Gardner from a financial perspective. #FeesMustFall is what everyone is talking about, so get the unique insights into what this all means for South Africa.

The Burning Platform with Justice Malala presented by Nandos, holds a flame to the latest happenings in South Africa right now. The Police Commissioner job continues to be a poisoned chalice as Riya Phiyega is now suspended. Is this her doing, or just another case of President Zuma's cabinet being full of people unfit for various roles. What's the story behind the ANC member numbers right now? Well the confusion seems to have no end, and/or logic. A new IEC chair, MEC John Block and of course the Grayston bridge disaster, all this and more.

The Burning Platform brought to you by Nando's has Justice Malala talking all things ANC.The ruling party is currently enjoying their NGC, something that Justice explains to you in his usual cutting style. Hlaudi Motsoeneng could be out of a job soon, but first the law will have to be upheld which is no certainty. Should wealth taxes become a thing? Has Zuma finally lost the plot in guilting the wealthy to invest in the ANC? All of this and more here.

The Burning Platform brought to you by Nando's, your one stop current affairs shop with Justice Malala. Nobody shakes the news down like Justice, and he kicks off with the crime stats. Just another black mark on the Zuma presidency, as is this whole Hitachi saga. There is some better news though as Home Affairs is giving banks the power to issue ID cards, and the ANC and ANCYL are speaking out on the Hlaudi Motsoeneng salary debacle. Then there is the Mugabe 'we are not gays' rant, get it all here.

Hlaudi Motsoeneng now earns how much? The Burning Platform brought to you by Nandos has Justice Malala stoking some pretty big flames. The SABC COO continues to plunder the local broadcasters coffers, Jacob Zuma mysteriously reshuffles his cabinet and the teacher trade union crises highlights some big concerns in what is happening in schools.
