World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported38m ago
In September 2025, Judge Neil Tuchten delivered a historic ruling finding conservationist Fred Daniel was the victim of a violent campaign in Mpumalanga. The campaign was led by former deputy president David Mabuza to bury Daniel's revelations of State Capture.
The case centers on the state's refusal to pay Daniel, resulting in what the court described as unique in South African jurisprudence regarding the price of the state's actions.
