News24 | PODCAST | The Lead: Cat and the Hat - why was Cele at a Zimbali villa? PLUS: Charlie Kirk’s hit

More evidence is emerging of former police minister Bheki Cele’s closeness with the notorious Vusimusi “Cat” Matlala.

For our final edition of The Lead this week: it’s getting more difficult for former police minister Bheki Cele to downplay his past meetings with controversial tender don Vusimusi “Cat” Matlala.

Investigative journalist Jeff Wicks is our first guest filling in the blanks here.

Later in the show, we cross to long-time Washington correspondent John Matisonn, who distills the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s killing in the US.
Finally, we end off with “On This Day in History”.
