Eyes Wide Shut — Investigations, Scandals & Big Reveals
Welcome to the Eyes Wide Shut tag — your go-to spot for stories that pull back the curtain. Here you’ll find investigations, courtroom battles, corruption exposes, and controversy-driven reporting that matter to readers across Africa and beyond.
What you’ll find under "Eyes Wide Shut"
We collect pieces that dig deeper than daily headlines. Expect reporting on high-profile trials and threats facing lawyers and witnesses, like the Advocate Malesela Teffo story. You’ll also see coverage of judicial probes such as the Selby Mbenenge tribunal and political moves that reshape coalitions — for example, Andrew Whitfield’s removal from government posts.
Beyond politics and courts, the tag covers safety and public-interest issues: discriminatory policies that block travel for minorities, fan-safety warnings in sports, and tech failures that expose infrastructure risks. Each article focuses on facts, named people, and clear stakes so you leave with a real picture of what changed and why it matters.
How we approach these stories
We follow named sources, court records, official statements, and on-the-ground reporting. When allegations are made — whether police corruption or harassment claims — we show what evidence exists, who’s responding, and what next steps are likely. If a story affects public safety or civic trust, we explain the practical implications: hearings, fines, or policy changes readers should watch.
Want a quick example? Read our pieces on the Senzo Meyiwa trial for how legal pressure and alleged intimidation play out in courtrooms. Or check the FAR Rabat article to see how fan behavior can trigger big fines and league-level consequences. These aren’t just headlines — they show real outcomes tied to real decisions.
If you’re tracking a long-running case or scandal, use this tag as a running file. We group every update here, so you can follow new filings, appeals, or official responses without hunting multiple categories. Each update keeps names, dates, and decisions clear so you can spot patterns fast.
Prefer alerts? Subscribe to updates for Eyes Wide Shut and get notified when a new development drops. Or bookmark this tag to check back after a court day, a parliamentary vote, or a major inquiry report.
How to read smarter: scan headlines for the who, what, and next step. If a story names officials or institutions, click through to documents or press statements we link. That helps you judge whether the report is a fresh revelation or a new turn in an old case.
Questions or tips? Send us leads if you have documents or eyewitness info. We verify before publishing, but tips help us follow stories that agencies would rather leave closed. Your tip could change a vote, prompt an inquiry, or protect a community.
Eyes Wide Shut is where tense hearings meet public impact. If you care about accountability, transparency, or simply want clearer context on messy headlines, this tag keeps it direct, sourced, and useful.
