[laughter] both the repoporter on a a bureau chief. There is a lot happening. Today is a big trial k kicking off. There i is eight people appearing, including a seniorr Police Officer who used to work at the c Central Police e stati. The main story here is not only the trial, but i was recently in t touch witith my people the and there isis a a new head man that just t moved in l le a mon agago. It is like a lets wait and see whos next. P politics is securitized. It doesnt matter whic party you belong to, yoyoneed to have a bodyguard. There is other stuff thahat cro up as we g go along. [inaudible] 90, 100. 256 messages. I never intended to become a journalist. It was a careeeethat i alwlws tell peoeople, itt chosese me. Yeah, we can talk. How many people were affect the by this alleged stealing of land . I really wanted to stop covering politics to get a sensee of what it wawas like if reallyly cut myy teeeeth into ii i discovered like a passssion f it that i didnt even k know existed. I started breaking cases in when it was literally almost every week that i was covering some murder of a politician. It wasnnt something that was necessarily getting attttention. But then i realized this had to become bigger. People need to know about this. I have worked soso hard to make it part of the national agenda. I pray we put it on today. Yeah. When i am done here in 2017, i realizedtrange things seem to happen to cases, dockets going missing, or witnesses actually ending up being killed in some cases, until the killing of this one. That forced the issue into sharp focus. In here. I want to ask her if these are her own personal body guards or the ones providededy the state. What thihings can we talk you about and wh cant we talk t to youou about . I dont wanant into delve to much into the other things. Keep y your mind on the trial. The c ces that arare thehere. [inaudible] [speaking native language] where did they see us . [speaking native language] they know that you know. Yes. Two consulates who were in he car on the day he was assassinated. At least the masterminds behind the hits. They have this story for us. [speaking native language] then what happened . [speaking native language] [speaking native languagage] the people that you believe yes, we believe that they are around us. How is that . As long as there is still in the mountain in the back. In the same position thahat you u are in, can you step this way . Three, two, one, and rolling. T the two consulates have turned town being put in witness protection ahead of trial, saying they refuse to abdicate their you duty and the wards they serve. The pair say t they still draw strengngth from him, and his death was not in vain. Almost like a visible depiction of the inadequacies or the failures of the state. Those remaining people who were killed, and really the thing is who was behind it . [speaking native language] [laughter] ok. [speaking native language] w what happened . [speaking nanative language] [speaking nativeve language] [speaking native language] [speaking natitive language]e] what hapapned . 2015. What happened . [saking natitive language] [speaking native language] [laughter] im very passionate, and i throw myself 110 into whatever i do. But then i did he test sometimes how demanding it is of every aspect of me and my life. There is so much to do, so many stories to tell. You just never get the rest time that you need. Thank you. Are you daylight . No. I will tell you about my houses i am alwayays tired. Even i go to gym, and i a am always exhausted. The other day i clapsd twice in one day. What do you mean . I fainted twice i in one day. They were like do you want to go to a hospital here . No. I would rather go back home. I get to the doctors office, and i ritolaly claps at the doctctors office. Wow. And and i literally claps at the doctotors office. Do o you think you are writi a book about it . T . What im looking for is to get a bodyguard who doublesesp as a hit man. Most of the bodyguards double up as hit menen. It is ann occupational i dont think we are targets. That is why. It cocould be ignorance abou it. Whwhen i was younger, i used to have those things. I used to think i would return that. Theyey told me youve got to we the bulletproof vest, and i refused. To me it wouldld be a sign of weaknessss. Now that i am o older, y you ca wear them. It is not easy to ask people to continue to talk about things that hurt them, especially with a case like that. There are still a lot of unanswered questions. You dont want to feel like you are exploiting someones pain, even though it is through just trying to make sure that the story doesnt die. Hello . [speaking native language] i i am from newews room, afr. [speakaking native language] letter, bybye. All right, bye. I think the assassination of him is what drove me into things wlike the hell is going on. But there is not one person there. Is a much larger context to it, like the deterioration of the moral fiber of the society. [speaking native language] he was still busy. Yes, he wasas a busy man. [speaking native language] we are missingngim. [speaking native language] just the basics. And then whatever else i need, i can come back and finish. All right. My parents do worry about the risks that come with the job. But i think they have seen the amount of passion that i have. You cant stop me once i have got started. And what angle are you looking at . The government makes political killings s possible. This createded an environment f people to do that. Ok, cool. It will feed through the angle i was just speaking about. Actually it has now become an industry to deal with it that way. Byebye. The trifle t the socalled cleveland eight has been postponed. I am joined by news from africas bureau chief hortontucker is inin studio th afternoon. Share with me your experience of covering issues around the violence, the killilings at clevelandss hosostel, and you have been tracking other political k killings, incluludi anotother one. Tatalk to me about clevelands itself. It has now become almost a business, the business of f killing and d hit m men has bec so prorominent becauause of f e hihigh level of unenemployment. Death is always a heart weight away. Literally death is a heartbeat away. Y. This whohole netwowork that is to have involved policeman, said to haveve involved politicians. During t the mission of i inqui wewe had h heard it was a place whwhere politicians g go s shop for hit memen. The problem is s the weapons th are usused for these assassinations are not legal. They are not traceable. These weapons are either stolen , or they go back as far as the rmed struggle. Im soo tired of the killili in thiss province. I dont really get disillusioned. I dont think there is much time for that. Sometimes i think i am just going to fall apartment. But i also just keep going, keep going because you c cant topop. You cant start a story like that and just do it half way. Qqww÷e÷eddddddh n p after days of uncertainty, doctors say u. S President Donald Trump no longer has any co vid 19 symptoms.
