It’s a story so out of left field and certainly not one we had on our bingo card for 2025!
The Hawks,our supposedly elite crime-fighting unit,which is currently severely underpowered,have come out in strong defence of their investigation of fairly well-known local social media content creator Anton Taylor.
The story,broken last week by our specialist legal journalist,Karyn Maughan,revealed that Taylor,after posting a satirical video of suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu earlier this year,attracted a full-blown Hawks probe and even a raid on his home,with officers hell-bent on gaining access to his cellphone.
Maughan details the viral saga in its entirety on The Lead.
