There are others who rate Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones highly but for me nothing beats The Wire. The Wire is my guide as I catch the goings on and bombshells in the Madlanga Commission. As the Madlanga Commission moves from Tshwane and Ekur-huhleni to the national sections of the police, we, South Africans, may be entertained but it is a tragedy. Before the Madlanga Commission, there was a sense of exasperation and forlornness when it came to presidential commissions. But the Madlanga Commission has won back the public’s trust in the usefulness of commissions.
