The Lead: Has the NPA messed up again? Karyn Maughan on why Ace Magashule's PA walked free
She's a free woman.
Moroadi Cholota, the former assistant to then-Free State Premier Ace Magashule, has won her special plea against the National Prosecuting Authority.
The Free State High Court in Bloemfontein declared her extradition from the United States 'unlawful' following a Supreme Court of Appeal ruling that only the justice minister may request extradition.
The ruling leaves the NPA with a bloody nose, and many legal experts have warned that this trial-within-a-trial may have far-reaching consequences. To decipher what this all means, legal journalist Karyn Maughan joins us in this edition of The Lead.
Later in the show, Graeme Raubenheimer discusses the AARTO Act's consequences for errant motorists and snow forecasts nationwide.

‘Who is next?' Murdered Pretoria pupil's aunt urges action against school bullying
Supplied/GDE The aunt of a Grade 11 pupil, who was killed outside Lesedi Secondary School in Pretoria, has called for greater vigilance against bullying. Lethabo Mokonyane, 19, was stabbed on Tuesday, allegedly by two fellow pupils who had skipped school. Shelly Mokonyane urged pupils, parents, and the government to act decisively to ensure schools are safe. Shelly Mokonyane - whose nephew, Lethabo Mokonyane, 19, was killed allegedly by fellow pupils outside Lesedi Secondary School in Pretoria on Tuesday - has called on pupils to report bullying rather than remain silent. Speaking to the media outside the school on Friday, Mokonyane said: It is because of bullying that Lethabo is gone. Who is next? 'I am calling on our government to strengthen its stance against bullying because sending a child to school has now become a parent's worst fear. Schools are no longer safe. When a child leaves for school, they might not come back.' While the circumstances surrounding Lethabo's death are unclear, a report by the Department of Education stated that two pupils skipped school on the day and only returned after the school day ended. According to the department, they were wearing balaclavas when they allegedly attacked Lethabo. Police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Mavela Masondo said two 19-year-old pupils had been arrested and were expected to appear in the Bronkhorstspruit Magistrate's Court soon. Mokonyane added that violence had no place in school. 'Schools should not be a place of hate. Children who cannot resolve their problems should take the matter to teachers so it can be resolved with love. 'When you send a child to school, you expect them to come home, not to receive a phone call telling you that they have been stabbed.' She encouraged parents to be involved in their children's well-being and collaborate with teachers. 'Parents should visit schools regularly to inquire about their children's wellbeing, especially when they notice a change in their behaviour. This can help parents and teachers work together to identify things that bother our children. 'These are our kids. We love them.' Mokonyane described Lethabo as a handsome, reserved teenager who loved technology and was a loner. Education MEC Matome Chiloane, who visited the school and the victim's family, said the department had requested police assistance at 75 hotspot schools to curb violence occurring outside school premises. Supplied/GDE Supplied/GDE Lesedi Secondary was one of those schools. Chiloane said the agreement was for the police to dispatch a vehicle to schools in the mornings and afternoons. He said: I do believe that if a police vehicle was present, as agreed, the incident might have been prevented. Things would have turned out differently. He urged bullied pupils to speak up.

Truck driver Nosihle Mohunu is paving the way for young women in SA
Nosihle Mohunu is a 29-year-old truck driver from KwaZulu-Natal. Nosihle is a mom of two and has support from her mother while on the road. She is excelling in the male-dominated industry after pursuing a Code 14 license. _______________________________________________________________________ It's not something you see every day. A young woman at the steer of a 22-wheeler, confidently clocking up long-haul miles, expertly squeezing the rig into tight spaces and personally handling every inspection with precision. At just 29 years old, Nosihle Mohunu is a valued truck driver, does it all with a bright smile and sometimes even a little dance because, for her, there's no better place to be than behind the wheel of one of these giants of the road. She understands the value of what she does, delivering essential goods and groceries across the country. Her passion is contagious. Her TikTok videos, filmed from the snug cab of her truck, have already won her thousands of fans. An expert on the road Mzansi took notice of Nosihle when a video went viral of her driving through her hometown, Keate's Drift in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), where her mother saw her in action for the first time. Suddenly, Nosihle, who now lives in Hazelmere, KZN, was on everyone's radar. Brand collaborations rolled in but she turned most of them down. 'I don't want distractions,' she says. 'I want to stay focused on my work.' @nosihleoprintayo I must be really grateful, all thanks to Transrite for this great opportunity 🥺🥺 #femaledriver #womaninlogistics #code14 #transrite #truckdriver ♬ Good Lord - MG Trizzy Nosihle first worked as a floor manager for a company that sold sports and lifestyle products. Then, in 2021, she took a massive leap that changed her life. Inspired by the flow of trucks passing through her hometown, Nosihle decided to pursue a Code 14 truck licence. Her decision paid off because, after completing Shoprite's learnership programme and acing the practical assessment, she was offered a permanent position. It's been three years and, since then, she has racked up countless safe kilometres. On one trip alone, she travelled more than 1 200 km across borders – a testament to her discipline, focus and skill. Not an easy job But the job isn't always easy. Her days can start as early as 04:00, and careful route planning and truck inspections are part of her routine. For Nosihle, safety and precision are everything. She logs every journey and keeps detailed records. 'I always make sure to get enough rest at home, since I never want to find myself depending on energy drinks,' she says. 'Music is therapy and there is nothing I enjoy more than listening to music. It always keeps me awake.' Excelling in a male-dominated industry As a woman in a male-dominated industry and a mother to two young children, Nosihle faces unique challenges. 'Female drivers constantly face bias. But many of us are breaking those stigmas and proving what we're capable of.' She admits, 'My work demands a lot of my time and it's changed things. I don't see my children as often as I used to. But it's a positive change, I can still provide for them, even while I'm away.' Balancing motherhood with a demanding career takes strong support. 'My mother makes it possible,' she says. 'Sometimes people judge me for prioritising my career over traditional roles, even though I'm doing it to take care of my family.' Nosihle believes a new wave of women is stepping into the trucking industry. 'When I first got my Code 14 licence, many of my former colleagues, people living in informal settlements, were against the idea. They had concerns and didn't understand that for me, it was a dream come true. Once I got my job, they followed and got their licences too.' For Nosihle, it doesn't stop here. She has been celebrated during an annual internal career recognition campaign called 40 under 40 and continues to dream even bigger. 'I want to train and uplift other women, especially from small towns like mine. We belong in this industry too.' Her message to young women, especially those from overlooked communities? 'Women aren't just being hired to tick boxes anymore, we're proving ourselves as safer, more reliable drivers. If I can do it, so can you.'
