This week the country was abuzz with the news that the villains of the state capture story in SA, the Gupta brothers, had been arrested in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), pending extradition to SA.

In this week's episode of the Sunday Times Politics Weekly, we ask how soon they might be brought back to SA — and whether the country is ripe to be captured again by other nefarious interests.

Join the discussion: 

Our host Mike Siluma is joined by Sunday Times investigative reporter Thanduxolo Jika, political analyst and Unisa politics lecturer Prof Dirk Kotze, as well as author and professor of political theory at Wits University Prof Lawrence Hamilton.
