In this second episode we get deeper into the work of Mbale Kubheka, the determined attorney who is working to get a conviction for the assassination of Ayanda Ngila. His murder had plenty of witnesses and she needs their testimonies. 

We also explore the workings of the organisation that Ayanda belonged to, Abahlali baseMjondolo and their claims of being systematically targeted by South Africa’s ruling party, the ANC.

Ayanda Ngila was assassinated in the Ekhenana communal garden in Durban, South Africa, on the 8th of March, 2022. Ayanda was 30 years old and shot in broad daylight in the middle of the afternoon. He was fixing a water pipe in front of women and children and as he went down he yelled for people to take photos of the scene so the truth of his death could be known. Those are the words of a man who was expecting to be killed and was clearly at the center of a conflict that he imagined would end in his death.

Ayanda was a land activist and part of the organization Abahlali baseMjondolo, who have spent almost two decades fighting for the rights of the poor in South Africa. This story is about an assassination, but also about the violence you can face when you fight for your basic human rights like food, water and shelter.

This week, in the penultimate episode of Too Many Enemies, producer Paul McNally shifts his focus from the murder of billionaire Wandile Bozwana to investigate Southern Africa’s assassinations crisis and how terrifyingly commonplace hits have become in the region.

McNally goes back twenty years to one of the most infamous assassinations: the killing of acclaimed Mozambican journalist and editor Carlos Cardoso. Cardoso, who was investigating a $14-million fraud linked to the privatisation of Mozambique’s largest bank, was shot dead in central Maputo in November 2000.

In the second episode of Too Many Enemies, producer Paul McNally sets out to investigate allegations that the hit was ordered by prominent ANC politician, Supra Mahumapelo, while he was the premier of the North West Province. Just kilometres away from where Bozwana was shot, he meets a source, who gives him insight into the evidence police have gathered on the Bozwana assassination case. McNally also speaks to SABC political journalist, Samkelo Maseko, about Mahumapelo's controversial premiership. From last week's episode, we know that Bozwana and Mahumapelo were close at one point, but their relationship had soured.
