We’re back with an incredible episode in which we speak to Colonel Tollie Vreugdenburg (who retires on 31 Dec). What an incredible career and service to South Africa he has provided. Today we meet the man who heads SA’s counter terrorism efforts, and get into a fascinating serial murder case, and then the story of ‘Die Boeremag’. This episode is gonna blow your mind. Why did the specialist units close, how close did Mandela come to being killed, and how do you stop a bomb twice the size of the Oklahoma City device???

In Newcastle, a town between Joburg and Durban in South Africa, in 2004, four men are murdered over the period of a year. All are killed in or around the exercise park bordering the town. Two of the incidents take place when the killer interrupts young couples engaging in romantic activities. He r**es the woman in each case, but he lets them live. The murders are brutal and the killer leaves little evidence. How will police eventually catch this incredibly dangerous murderer? https://youtu.be/UCYLugRs8Sw

Comment from the Judge in relation to the case of the serial murderer JACK MOGALE. “In the very unlikely situation where the Correctional Services Department may contemplate releasing the accused on parole in the future, it is the recommendation of this Court, because of the complete absence of any remorse or recognition of wrongdoing, and in my opinion, there is little prospect of rehabilitation or reformation, that the accused should remain in custody for the remainder of his natural life and should never be released from prison” Judge Kgomo, Presiding Officer.
