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.
