It has appeared that Sunday Times newspaper journalist Mzilikazi wa Afrika was framed.

Last week he was taken into custody by the Hawks.

The Hawks involvement in the criminal case against Mzilikazi wa Afrika is being questioned.

It has been reported that the Hawk’s swoop on Wa Afrika could be irregular because it would be a case that falls outside the new elite priority crimes unit’s mandate.

The Mail and Guardian has uncovered e-mail trails which show charges against the Sunday Times newspaper journalist were trumped up.

The Mail and Guardian were faxed the fake resignation letter for Mabusa on 21st July 2010. The paper contacted the premier’s office, which confirmed it was a forgery.
