The Dallas Cowboys are back in the win column, and all it took was dealing with an Indianapolis Colts group in anguish to pull it off. It wasn’t quite, it was needlessly stressful, and it was filled with zany ups and downs.
Regardless, the win offers function to the remainder of the Cowboys’ season, regardless of still leaving a great deal of things to fret about. Here are 10 ideas on the Cowboys 27-23 win over the Colts on Sunday.
1. Ground attack
Brian Schottenheimer wished to reveal he suggested organization by devoting to the run, utilizing 6 offending linemen right out of eviction. Broderick Jones was in on the very first play from skirmish and was utilized typically. The Cowboys had a best balance in between running and passing with 34 plays of each.
Javonte Williams led the charge with 101 lawns hurrying, while complementary back Tyler Goodson completed with 77 backyards hurrying. Both balanced over 5 lawns per bring.
2. The Lamb circus
What an odd day for Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb. In a video game without his pass-catching partner in criminal offense, George Pickens, Lamb did all the heavy lifting in this one. He completed the video game with 10 catches for 195 backyards.
Strangely, he was likewise associated with some odd things as he got flagged for 2 different offending pass disturbance charges, negating clutch first-down catches. It was a weird mix of great and bad, and often it took place on the exact same play.
In the 4th quarter, Lamb made an excellent catch on a vital third-down play where he sensibly got up and began running before being touched. It was excellent till he ultimately fumbled the ball away after a small take on.
3. Laundry day
Mentioning charges, the Cowboys were flagged for practically every kind of charge possible in this video game. 3 various times they were flagged for offending pass disturbance. It seemed like every offending lineman got captured for holding (they didn’t).
Even gamers who weren’t playing were getting flagged for things, as DeMarvion Overshown was flagged for an unsportsmanlike charge regardless of not even playing in the video game. A few of the flag things was simply sensitive officiating, however for a group that battles with discipline, it annoying to continue to see a few of this silliness.
4. Playbook issues
While the offense came through with a great game-winning rating late in the 4th quarter, whatever up till that felt underwhelming. The offense did some things, we’re not marking down that, however it simply seemed like they weren’t doing enough versus the Colts, who are among the worst defenses in the league.
They continued to have problems near the objective line, as if their playbook begins to diminish. They got it done, however it simply seems like Brian Schottenheimer picks the worst plays possible to do it. Recently, Bryan Anger punted for a season-high 4 times. On Sunday, he set a brand-new season-high with 5 punts.
Do not let the win fool you. The Cowboys’ offense is beginning to reveal some indications of problem.
5. Difficulty discovering the mark
Dak Prescott was a bit off sometimes, as he was often tossing behind receivers and into protection. That’s bad. Even Prescott’s excellent tosses weren’t fantastic. If Lamb got taken on in bounds after needing to return on that underthrown ball late in the very first half, the Cowboys likely would’ve needed to go for a basket there.
Prescott still made some huge plays, however he hasn’t been as sharp as he normally is, which will require to alter if they are to have a possibility versus much better groups.
6. Defense appearing
In this video game, it ended up being more satisfying to view the Cowboys’ defense play than their offense. A minimum of at an early stage. How did that take place?
The Cowboys’ defense played well early in the video game, requiring 4 three-and-outs on the Colts’ very first 5 belongings of the video game, and Indy’s longest play throughout that period was simply 7 lawns. The Colts just had 86 overall lawns in the very first half.
The Cowboys’ defense began to pave the way some in the 2nd half, however thankfully they had the ability to come away with huge drop in huge minutes, consisting of 2 fourth-quarter turnovers. Well done, defense.
7. A brand-new profession high for Q
Quinnen Williams is so proficient at football. The Cowboys’ stud defensive take on continues to play exceptionally well, as he was continuously living the Colts backfield. He included another 3 deals with for loss, consisting of a forced fumble that eliminated an Indy drive in the 4th quarter.
He now has an overall of 14 takes on for loss this season, which is a brand-new career-high eclipsing the 12 he had throughout his All-Pro season in 2022.
8. Too close for convenience
While the Cowboys came away with the win, this was another video game they attempted truly difficult to distribute. The charges, the turnovers, and even mishandling a breeze that might have triggered Brandon Aubrey to miss out on a basket he usually makes.
Once again and once again, they were doing things that losing groups do. And once again, it protested a bad group. They had a lot of opportunities to retreat, however that is simply not their design. They constantly soft-pedal to the level of their challenger, as if they simply enjoy to live for the drama.
9. Sauce ‘d
Ryan Flournoy just had 2 catches on the day, however his 2nd one was a huge one. After the Colts went on 23-20 late in the 4th quarter, the Cowboys addressed back thanks to a huge catch by Flournoy.
Prescott conjectured deep and discovered Flournoy who tracked the ball well even with All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner curtained all over him. It right away altered the state of mind of the video game as the Cowboys were immediately in basket variety and now might bet the win.
10. Brother or sister competition
It was enjoyable to see the Downs siblings, Caleb and Josh, break each other, however it was better seeing little brother overcome it. The Cowboys novice security had a sack early in the video game and after that a game-sealing interception late in the 4th quarter. Oddly, it was the Cowboys’ very first interception of the season by a protective back.
Noah Eagle actioned in for Mike Tirico on Sunday Night Football and made rave evaluations.
Mike Tirico stunned NFL fans by revealing he would be missing from NBC’s broadcast of the Chicago Bears versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on SNF.
A declaration discussed Tirico would not be calling the video game since of an illness. No information were offered on the 59-year-old’s specific concern.

Absolutely nothing comes simple for the 2026 Dallas Cowboys, however they handled to get back in the win column on Sunday with a 27-23 win at the Indianapolis Colts. It is their very first win scoring less than 30 points considering that last season’s amazing resurgence in Week 12 vs. the Eagles, which provided Brian Schottenheimer’s group their very first winning streak of that 2025 season.
At the end of another rollercoaster video game, this 4th win of the season enters the very same container as the other narrow win the Cowboys have versus another AFC South challenger – Dak Prescott declining to lose with the ball in his hands, and making the plays when it mattered most to guarantee this. The Texans win was specified by Prescott and CeeDee Lamb making all the plays when it mattered, and without George Pickens this time out, Lamb’s wedding day was much more vital.
There were plays by the defense in the very first half that made this video game seem like it would not come close to requiring any late video game heroics from the offense, however the offense didn’t capitalize early. There were breakdowns on defense that assisted the Colts storm back, however likewise more rallying by Christian Parker’s side of the ball to eventually put this in the win column.
Let’s get to some notes on the gut-it-out efficiency in Indy.
news A Lot Of 3rd Downs
For the 2nd straight week, the Cowboys dealt with 16 third-down efforts. The Cowboys have actually dealt with more 3rd downs on offense than their challengers in every video game given that the Packers loss.
Dak Prescott’s third-down fumble in the very first quarter was the 2nd straight week the Cowboys had a dreadful unfavorable play in a development that contacts Javonte Williams to remain in and block. This time around, the Cowboys likewise had Jake Ferguson in the video game. Ferguson was the only pass choice running a hot path versus the pressure the Colts induced this play, yet in some way the defense had a response to bracket him with 2 protectors while likewise getting to Prescott.
The strip sack set the Colts offense up on a brief field they profited from to take a 7-3 lead. The Colts would not get points once again up until midway through the 3rd quarter. While the Cowboys did get 2 goals before this, they likewise punted on all 4 other belongings in this stretch. The goal drive that was available in reaction to being down 10-7 got an unusual Javonte Williams getting play that chose favorable lawns on a 3rd-and-4, then conquered a 2nd-and-19 after a Brevyn Spann-Ford holding charge, and was talented an automated initially down after dealing with 2nd-and-15 on a Tyler Guyton charge. Even after all this, it still took a 4th-and-2 effort at a loss zone to get points on the board with Jake Ferguson’s goal.
The other goal the Cowboys got came a bit simpler, rewarding a drive that saw what seemed like the very first effective scramble drill in a long period of time. Lamb and Prescott made the play when the Cowboys chose to toss on 3rd-and-1, linking on the scramble drill for 22 lawns. One play later on, Lamb supported Charvarius Ward for his 44-yard goal to proceed 17-7.
Once again, the Cowboys felt in control of a video game, however were left rushing and combating for their life to really complete by the 4th quarter.
The Cowboys had an ideal 34/34 run-pass split in this video game, and Dak Prescott’s 9.9 backyards per effort was a season high, however it still seemed like the offense learnt wishing to remain in 3rd downs, makings things hard on themselves yet once again, and not putting the video game away by themselves terms early. Rather, they left it up until late for more QB heroics that paint a clear photo of what this group is actually everything about.
news Protective Resolve
The top thing the Cowboys defense requires to repair following these last 2 wild video games is restricting the dynamite bets goals. 2 weeks in a row, a video game has actually swung in the breeze of a finger due to the fact that any work the defense has actually done up to a point is erased by a long play for a goal. Ashton Dulin’s 55-yard goal on a screen pass vaporized the Cowboys hopes of taking a two-score result in the 4th quarter, and caused another video game that seemed like it might see overtime by the 4th.
Marist Liufau, DaRon Bland, and P.J. Locke were the protectors with the very best possibility to get Dulin on the ground, and none could.
The Cowboys continued to do some fascinating things with Shemar James in this video game, as he was associated with the play where Caleb Downs had a sack, and Locke made a huge stop on 3rd down early in the video game too, however more constant principles is still something keeping back the Dallas D as a system. They require to take on much better.
After the Cowboys offense misused their possibility by missing out on a FG with over 3 minutes staying in the video game, the Cowboys defense required to come up with a stand. The Colts entered into comfy basket variety, however Josh Downs’ third-down drop stopped the clock and the defense had actually held Indy to a 23-20 lead after a basket. The defense did not quit a goal, and they got the ball back to the offense with adequate time to go win the video game.
The other protective willpower point in this heart 4th quarter was obviously Quinnen Williams requiring a fumble on Jonathan Taylor, recuperated by James. We stated entering this match that simply an approximate splash plays from Williams would not suffice. Williams stepped up and made numerous huge plays, none larger than this one, and assisted the Cowboys conquer charges on Bland and Dee Winters prior to the takeaway that made a distinction in which group had simply enough in the tank to win on Sunday.
Kenny Clark even included his name to the splash play list from the protective interior on the last drive, pushing Jones into a deliberate grounding toss that truly damaged the drive and caused Downs’ game-sealing interception. The highly-paid Cowboys protective interior made the plays in crunch time.

The objective for the Cowboys now resets back to precisely what it wanted the Eagles video game, do not get too expensive after a win (versus a perhaps even worse group this time), and remain focused enough to get a win streak begun in front of home fans next Sunday.
To do so, the Cowboys will have to squander no time absorbing not just the excellent things that took place to beat the Colts, however the bad. Fourteen charges for 153 lawns is one thing that ought to be inappropriate even in a win, however the larger and more long-lasting issue is the bad play-calling that marked this video game.
Even while getting Lamb 10 catches on 16 targets for 10 catches and 195 lawns, absolutely nothing beyond Lamb’s long goal seemed like it came simple for the offense. The security strategies were not sound to offer Prescott time to toss when required. The early down aggressiveness to not deal with 16 third-down efforts was not there. Most awful of all, the fixed paths, absence of movement, and variety of pass plays where all of Prescott’s choices were blanketed from start to end up, with receivers not even running hard on a number of these plays, were plentiful.
Today will be informing when it concerns how Lamb’s management is gotten at big by this group, as even after his big day he was more concentrated on what might have gone much better and his expensive fumble. This is the kind of mindset the whole Cowboys group requires to take into the 49ers match, as considerable enhancements from how they played, primarily on offense, will be required to pull that upset. Brian Schottenheimer’s duty for how the offense looks will turn up too, however his postgame locker space technique was rather various in state of mind than Lamb’s.
The Dallas Cowboys won a football video game on Sunday. Genuine. The win was barely the most beautiful that the Cowboys have actually ever had, however it counts simply the exact same as the ones that left us feeling better than that a person did. A win is a win, as they state.
While completion outcome was the wanted one, the course there was rough to state the least. There were gamers who increased to the celebration and others who left us desiring more in a number of kinds of methods.
Let’s talk about in this week’s stock report.
Stock Up: Caleb Downs
It has actually seemed like Caleb Downs was trending upward currently, however Sunday was formally his statement to the world. The game-sealing interception is what everyone will keep in mind, however Downs was all over the location.
He had an important sack on an early 3rd down. He was credited with 2 passes defensed and 3 deals with. Put simply, he was all over. It was required in the worst method.
Stock Up: Quinnen Williams
The Cowboys formally have a brand-new war daddy. Like Downs, Williams had actually been occurring since late.
The start to his season, his very first complete one with the Cowboys, was a bit rough, however he singlehandedly interrupted a lot of what the Colts wished to do. We have actually imagined having a force of this nature along the interior.
Stock Up: Ryan Flournoy
It was stressful when the Cowboys revealed that George Pickens would be non-active for this video game. Sure, Ryan Flournoy has actually been great this season, however raising to the WR2 function is a really various thing.
Flournoy showed more than capable. He was barely CeeDee Lamb, however he supplied the required minutes reverse of him. Dak Prescott targeted him when the group definitely required a stimulate at the end of the video game.
The future of George Pickens stays unidentified, however the manner in which Flournoy is playing is going to make those discussions extremely intriguing to state the least.
Stock Up: Rashan Gary
Clearly there was just approximately choose Rashan Gary. He is a stock up.
The Cowboys had the ability to actually suppress the Colts’ offense (barely something to be happy with, however you can just play who’s in front of you) and Rashan Gary even got his 2nd sack of the season as the group kept the heat on Daniel Jones. He likewise contributed 6 takes on and 2 TFLs.
There has actually been far and couple of in between to select from concerning Cowboys pass rushes this season so we need to take what we can get.
Stock Up: Tyler Goodson
Caleb Downs is certainly the very best brand-new gamer on the Cowboys (as in gamers who weren’t on the group at all last season), however Tyler Goodson has a really strong argument for second. Goodson runs so difficult and whatever he does is with every bit of his energy.
Goodson balanced 6.4 lawns per bring and complete with 77 backyards. He has actually been such a breath of fresh air and is a truly appropriate counterpunch to the attack that is Javonte Williams.
Stock Up: Christian Parker
This is likewise a “no place to go however up” scenario, and the quality of the challenger is definitely worth bearing in mind. Let’s state that Christian Parker’s defense produced 8 various stops on Sunday, consisting of the one that sealed the video game in Caleb Downs’ interception.
Is this agent of a turning tide? That would be a substantial leap to make. It is certainly representative of a group that is getting much better and that is amazing to see.
Stock Up: Brevyn Spann-Ford
Jake Ferguson should have a great deal of congratulations for the goal that he had in this video game, particularly considered that it began 4th down. To call it clutch would be to refrain from doing it due justice.
Keeping in mind that, Brevyn Spann-Ford is actually taking advantage of his chances since late. He is ending up being somebody who Dak Prescott plainly trusts and has actually absorbed well into his brand-new function with the offense at big.
Stock Down: Brian Schottenheimer
We simply discussed it, however the Ferguson goal actually was rather lucky. In that regard it truly bailed Brian Schottenheimer out.
That goal began 4th and brief in the redzone, however the 3rd down play that Brian Schottenheimer called right before it was so ridiculous. While the Cowboys were gashing the Colts their play-caller chose to call a technique play for CeeDee Lamb that lost yardage. You can argue that the choice to go all out on 4th down, despite the fact that it exercised, was pushing a bit.
This does not even cover the reality that the Cowboys hardly beat a truly bad Colts group. Heck, they were losing to the group in concern late in the video game. They nearly did lose. Schottenheimer’s team pulled this one off with absolutely no space to spare. He needs to be much better.
Stock Down: Brandon Aubrey
Brandon Aubrey is still great in a total sense, however his credibility from downtown definitely needs to alter. Rather the Cowboys’ rely on him needs to alter.
Aubrey missed out on a 50-yard basket that would have offered the Cowboys a 23-20 lead in this video game late down the stretch. Considered that it was such a deep effort the miss out on provided Indianapolis the ball at their own 40-yard line and they capitalized by netting a consent basket themselves.
Stock Down: DeMarvion Overshown
Drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct charge for being out in the middle of the field when you are not even active for the video game is peak silliness.
Overshown’s charge put a drive that must have begun at the Cowboys’ 30-yard line at their own 15. They end up punting and giving up points. Those 15 backyards were substantial, even if the Cowboys ended up winning.
The Cowboys have a clear absence of a great deal of things and for that reason can not pay for to make ridiculous errors. This was a ridiculous error in the silliest of methods.
Tokenization platform Securitize climbed up about 10%postmarket after reporting 3rd quarter development together with increased operating costs, and revealing a growth into asset-backed financing through a tactical acquisition.
Miami-based Securitize, that made its public market launching in July, runs in the fairly brand-new corner of the crypto equity universe associated with institutional tokenization facilities. Tokenized possessions on the platform grew 9 %in the 3rd quarter, to $4.8 billion, from the very same duration a year back. Aggregate deal volume increased 20 %from a year back, to$4.3 billion. Income of$ 11.5 million was up 28%from in 2015.
The development came as bullish belief around tokenization acquired traction throughout the 3rd quarter, ahead of the Security and Exchange Commission formalizing the long waited for Innovation Exemption on Sept. 17, which developed a short-lived path for trading of specific tokenized stocks and enhanced the regulative outlook.
Success is still meaningfully listed below year-ago levels, due in part to expenses connected with going public over the summertime, in addition to the scaling up of the tokenization organization at an active time for the whole sector, Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo informed CNBC in an unique interview.
More powerful compliance
Securitize strengthened “certain areas of the company like finance, compliance, legal cybersecurity,” which increased business expenses “compared to a year ago when we were privately held,” Domingo stated. “We’re in in a very good position. The adjusted EBITDA … is improving significantly from previous quarters.”
Securitize reported an adjusted EBITDA loss of $2 million, compared to favorable adjusted EBITDA of $3.6 million a year back, much better than a $5.5 million loss in the 2nd quarter. The business published a 183% boost in running expenses and expenditures.
On Monday, the Securitize board licensed a $50 million share buyback and revealed the acquisition of River One, an institutional asset-backed funding platform establishing innovation to link stablecoin capital with conventional loaning markets. Terms were not revealed.
Securitize sees a chance to improve the $9 trillion market for property backed financing by utilizing stablecoins to fund real life properties, create yield and tokenize financial investment positions and credit items, Domingo stated.
The acquisition likewise marks a growth beyond Securitize’s core specific niche markets at a time when tokenization’s competitive landscape is growing, with conventional possession supervisors like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton, and recognized monetary market facilities companies like DTCC and Broadridge, going into the market.
“We have been very active in tokenized funds, treasuries yield … And we’ve been obviously recently very active in tokenized stocks, so this adds another piece of the puzzle in the emerging tokenization space for us to capture revenue growth.”
In a video game that was looking quite like a repeat of recently, the Dallas Cowboys had the ability to prevent another 2nd half collapse by winning 27-23 in close, nail-biting style versus the Indianapolis Colts. It’s hard to get too thrilled about the result of the video game, nevertheless, winning feels far better than losing no matter how they arrived.
It was a variety Sunday afternoon for the Cowboys. Today we’ll have a look at the great, the bad, and the unsightly from today 9 match before we begin setting our websites on next week’s challenger, the San Francisco 49ers.
THE GOOD – WR CeeDee Lamb
With George Pickens sidelined, Dak Prescott consistently targeted CeeDee Lamb throughout the video game Sunday afternoon. The 2 linked for 10 catches for 195 getting lawns and a goal. It wound up being a historical day for No. 88. He made NFL history by climaxing for the most receptions before turning 28 years of ages. It would’ve been a near-perfect getaway if not for a doubtful fumble, however even that does not minimize the effect he made.
THE BAD – Penalties
The Cowboys were when again almost their own worst opponent Sunday afternoon versus the Colts. They had an overall of 14 charges in this Week 9 match and many of them assisted Indianapolis spend time longer than they need to have. The authorities didn’t appear to assist matters all that much either. There were numerous doubtful calls that broke the Cowboys, more than a few of them including WR CeeDee Lamb. Thankfully it didn’t cost them the win.
THE UGLY – Colts turnovers
The Cowboys defense wasn’t dominant by any methods, however they did what they required to do in order to protect the success in Indianapolis Sunday afternoon. They had 2 big turnovers that wound up changing the video game of the Cowboys prefer. The fumble triggered by DT Quinnen Williams that put a stop to an appealing drive by the Colts, and 2nd, the interception by Caleb Downs at the end of the video game to seal the success. It wasn’t quite, however it sufficed.
The timing might barely be more striking. Suspended Investigative Directorate Against Corruption (Idac) primary private investigator Dylan Perumal was apparently required to healthcare facility in East London on Friday, 6 November, following a supposed suicide effort.
3 days later on, on Monday, 9 November, organised criminal offense implicated Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala appeared before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, where he made surprising accusations about the really private investigator at the centre of his case.
For the very first time, Matlala exposed to the Madlanga Commission the contents and situations surrounding his questionable Section 204 declaration– a plan under which an implicated individual might acquire indemnity from prosecution in exchange for providing proof, based on the statutory requirements.
It was throughout his statement on Monday, 9 November, that Matlala dropped a bombshell when he declared that Perumal and senior detective Brian Padayachee had actually pushed him into signing a plea-and-sentence contract.
Matlala’s 204 declaration was taken a look at after commission chairperson Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga dismissed an application submitted by his defence counsel, supporter Annelene van den Heever, to obstruct using this witness declaration.
Suneel Bellochun, a senior detective at Idac, commissioned the declaration on 14 June 2026.
“I did not take an oath, and the declaration prepared by Perumal was altered in between 3 to 4 times. He typed whatever matched him,” Matlala informed the commission.
This affidavit sets out Matlala’s individual understanding of the situations surrounding the Medicare24 SAPS agreement. He deposed it with the objective of working together with the State and supporting the conclusion of a plea-and-sentence contract in regards to Section 105A of the Criminal Procedure Act.
The accusations strike at the heart of the Idac examination. They raise concerns about whether Matlala was being motivated to link senior cops authorities and whether the pursuit of proof versus those figures is jeopardising the stability of the examination itself.
Matlala declared that detectives desired him to offer incriminating info versus senior cops figures, consisting of National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and Dumisani Khumalo. He even more declared that Perumal had actually typed a Section 204 declaration consisting of info that did not stem from him.
Formerly, the commission had actually become aware of “Project Diversion”, a supposed questionable examination led by previous Idac head Andrea Johnson, that targeted Masemola and Khumalo.
Following damning and harmful claims before the commission, the 3 Idac authorities were suspended on 30 July 2026 by Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi.
The Sibiya cash path: Matlala’s altering account of supposed payments
Among the most controversial elements of Matlala’s Section 204 declaration, the commission heard, worries his supposed monetary relationship with previous senior policemans Shadrack Sibiya, who is dealing with accusations of sexually grooming a kid and a different rape case.
Sibiya resigned on 12 October 2026 while dealing with disciplinary procedures and stays in custody pending the result of his bail application.
Matlala dropped another bombshell before the commission, declaring that he had actually been pushed into lying about Sibiya when he affirmed before Parliament’s Advertisement Hoc Committee.
He declared that Sibiya consistently alerted his partner that Matlala ought to not expose anything about him to the parliamentary committee. According to Matlala, the hazards encompassed his life and the security of his household need to he reveal the reality.
These claims include another measurement to the relationship in between the 2 guys: not just the declared circulation of cash, however likewise claims of intimidation and pressure to hide their transactions.Vusimuzi’Cat’ Matlala declares previous deputy nationwide commissioner for criminal offense detection Shadrack Sibiya (above)cautioned his better half that he need to not expose anything about him to the parliamentary advertisement hoc committee.

Matlala’s declaration information declared money payments to Sibiya, however his statement before the commission exposed inconsistencies in how 2 deals were taped and discussed.
In his Section 204 declaration, Matlala explained reaching Sibiya’s Centurion house, where security personnel directed him to park inside the properties. He declared he handed Sibiya R50,000 in money, which Sibiya apparently positioned in his car.
Matlala contested this variation before the commission, firmly insisting that the R50,000 payment took location throughout the SAPS Excellence Awards in KwaZulu-Natal, not at Sibiya’s house.
A more significant disparity issues a supposed R500,000 payment following the awarding of the Medicare24 agreement.
According to the Section 204 declaration, Sibiya called Matlala and asked for a conference at his Centurion house, apparently asking him to bring money since significant effort had actually entered into protecting the tender.
Matlala mentioned that he did not have the cash in money and rather moved R500,000 from his business account into his service account at Koffi Trading before scheduling the cash to be moved to a business coming from his buddy, Given Makofane.
Before the commission on Monday, Matlala contested paragraph 49 of his declaration, stating he had actually not complied with Sibiya’s supposed demand for money. Rather, he kept that he moved the R500,000 to Makofane, not Sibiya.
Throughout Witness C’s statement, it emerged that at a casual conference with Matlala on 14 May 2025, the entrepreneur had actually supposedly explained Sibiya as “a lawbreaker who likes cash”, declaring that the previous law enforcement officer accepted just money payments, not electronic transfers.
Matlala likewise supposedly explained making money drop-offs at Sibiya’s house. To validate his claims of corrupt transactions, he offered Witness C with Sibiya’s phone number, initially in December 2024 and once again after his arrest in May 2025.
‘Caught lying’: Matlala faced over declared R500,000 payment to Sibiya
Proof leader supporter Adila Hassim SC consistently challenged Matlala over what she recommended were contradictions in between his sworn testament and the account he had actually formerly provided to commission detectives.
Hassim advised Matlala that he had actually affirmed that he made no payments to Sibiya, apart from the R50,000 he had actually acknowledged. Notes taken by commission private investigator Dlamini throughout an interview with Matlala, in the existence of proof leaders and his legal agent, appeared to oppose this variation.

According to Dlamini’s notes, Matlala had actually suggested that Sibiya helped him in protecting the Medicare24 tender. The conversation presumably happened before July 2024, before the tender award letter was provided to Matlala’s business.
The notes even more tape that, after the tender was granted, Matlala withdrew R500,000 from his 2 business, Medicare24 and Lux Africa Brand, regardless of not yet having actually gotten payment. He apparently obtained the cash and took it to Sibiya’s estate at Copperleaf Golf Estate, where he commended the senior policeman.
This account raises a main concern: if Matlala had formerly informed detectives that he personally provided R500,000 to Sibiya, why did he inform the commission that the cash had rather been moved to Given Makofane?
His statement will advance Tuesday, 10 November 2026. DM
Each and every single town throughout Gauteng– other than for Midvaal, which the DA won outright– will require a union federal government. The DA and ANC are the only celebrations that can anchor any union, and, apart from a grand union in between the 2, ActionSA is crucial to forming any bulk.
The DA is the biggest celebration in all 3 cities and the 2 secondary cities (Emfuleni and Mogale City), however that does not suggest that it will remain in federal government. The ANC and ActionSA might form bulk unions however just with the aid of other celebrations, reproducing the existing unsteady, multiparty unions throughout the province.
In Johannesburg, the DA– ActionSA union would quickly overcome the line with the aid of another celebration, while the ANC would require ActionSA, the EFF and most likely a minimum of 2 other celebrations.
ActionSA remains in 2nd location in Tshwane and huge enough to form a bulk union with the DA by itself. The ANC would require the aid of ActionSA, the EFF and another celebration, such as MK or the SACP.
ActionSA likewise holds the cards in Ekurhuleni: it might bring a bulk to a DA– FF+ union or an ANC– EFF union.
Compared to 2021, the majority of these alternatives seem more steady, with less requirement to consist of little celebrations. Over the last 5 years, Johannesburg federal governments require in between 8 and 10 union partners; now one might be formed with simply 3.
ActionSA will likewise take pleasure in kingmaker status in Mogale City if the DA and ANC can not concern terms. As soon as once again, the DA has a somewhat much easier task of constructing a union than the ANC, and a DA– FF+– ActionSA union would hold a bulk, while the ANC would require ActionSA, the EFF and another a couple of partners.
Emfuleni is a somewhat various obstacle. The DA stunned the ANC by winning 27 wards from it, consisting of the majority of Evaton and Sebokeng. With its conventional union partner the FF+, the DA would require simply 4 more seats for a bulk. These would probably need to originate from ActionSA, as the majority of the smaller sized celebrations are unpalatable to the DA. These consist of the SACP, the PAC, the PA and ATM.
The ANC would need to encourage almost every other celebration to sign up with an extremely unsteady union with more than 10 partners. Emfuleni is the Gauteng town where a DA– ANC union might fix the most issues, and where the DA holds three-quarters of the ward seats. DM
Duduzane Zuma, the kid of previous president Jacob Zuma, has actually invested much of his life around politics, however was not straight included up until 2 years back.
Now, he discovers himself at the centre of a few of the most significant political choices the uMkhonto Wesizwe (MK) celebration will need to make as it prepares to negotiate its method into federal government in numerous towns.
As the celebration’s very first deputy president, Zuma has actually been charged with leading union settlements that might see the MK celebration take control of numerous towns, consisting of eThekwini, where it has actually ended up being the biggest celebration, however stopped working to protect a straight-out bulk.
It is a huge duty for Zuma, who confesses that although he matured around politics, he has actually not constantly been straight included. His growing prominence likewise comes as the celebration deals with concerns about its management stability, its capability to govern and whether he might one day take over from his daddy.
Talking To Daily Maverick, Zuma reviewed his political journey, the lessons gained from the 2024 elections, his aspirations for eThekwini and the regular management reshuffles within the MK celebration, which he dismissed as teething issues. He likewise discussed his dad’s management and whether he saw himself following in his steps.The MK celebration’s Duduzane Zuma at the Results Operations Centre(ROC) at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand on 4 November 2026. (Photo: Gallo Images/ Sydney Seshibedi ) Concern: You have actually not constantly been associated with politics, in spite of maturing in a political household. What has the journey resembled up until now?
Response: I have not been on the frontline like lots of people, however we comprehend the video game. We matured around it. We understand who is who and what is what, however this time around, a chance has actually existed, not simply for MK, however for the nation.
What I constantly state is that everybody in society requires to take their location, decide. Being an activist does not always suggest you being in some community workplace or some federal government department. It’s about making modification in the neighborhood.
Whatever that occurs in this nation is politically driven: where we go shopping, what we consume, where we go, how we hang out. At some point, you have to take a stand.
Q: In the 2024 nationwide and provincial elections, the MK celebration carried out well, however eventually discovered itself outdoors federal government, practically captured off guard when the union talks began. Did the celebration take any lessons from that, and how will you approach union settlements in a different way this time?
A: You are definitely appropriate. I believe last time there was a strategy in location, other than this time they have actually been enhanced. I will exist therefore there will be no shenanigans. We wish to deal with individuals who are truthful, who are not going to take us for a trip, easy as that.
Our mindset has actually been to engage with organisations that have the exact same perspective as us, comparable worths, morals and policies.Previous president Jacob Zuma supports his boy Duduzane at the Randburg Magistrate’s Court, where he dealt with charges of culpable murder on January 24, 2019.

(Photo: Gallo Images/ Sowetan/ Alon Skuy)
Q: The MK celebration has actually become the greatest celebration in eThekwini, however governing the city will need union contracts. What are your prepare for the city?
A: Reindustrialisation, more than anything, which will handle every other problem. The water crisis, electrical energy– it’s about having the proper systems in location that will run efficiently. It’s about getting individuals who will provide.
We do not desire individuals taking a seat when we’re expected to be active. You can feel when a great deal of departments are on cruise control. The whip will be split.
There’s a great deal of cash that is being squandered, not simply inefficient expense, however since of individuals who are doing not have.
We desire the budget plan to grow so that we can implement and get things done from a service shipment point of view. Reindustrialisation is going to be a drive. It’s going to determine what is developed, how it is developed and where it is developed.
Water, electrical power, roadways– we are going full blast on them, utilizing not simply the federal government spending plan, however partnering with personal entities, regional and global, to make certain that we get the city back to very first class.
Q: There is a possibility that the ANC, IFP and DA might as soon as again interact to keep the MK celebration out of federal government in towns such as eThekwini. Are you gotten ready for that possibility?
A: They’ve done it in the past. They’re most likely going to attempt it once again, however we are here. Great deals of lessons discovered, however things will be various.
Q: There have actually been issues about instability in the celebration, provided the consistent reshuffling of leaders, most just recently the secretary-general, Sibonelo Nomvalo. How do you react to issues that this could impact the celebration’s capability to govern?
A: If you take a look at the leader of the celebration, he’s got a history of reshuffles. I believe he still holds the record for most of them as a president, so he’s brought that culture into the organisation, and he is really clear on that.
We are not going to be held to ransom by anybody over a position. What you are anticipated to do, you need to do based on your function and obligation, and if you’re refraining from doing that, then you should not exist.
I believe individuals require to comprehend that even though the MK is a two-year-old celebration, it is still institutionalising. It came out 6 months before the 2024 elections, and it did incredible things. It’s been growing naturally. I suggest, the structures are still there.
These things occur. These are teething issues. We will discover the best individuals. It’s not being conceited or heavy-handed. We desire the ideal individuals to do the task.
Q: The MK celebration has actually frequently been implicated of being a tribalistic celebration, mainly because much of its assistance originates from KZN. What do you make from that?
A: That is not real. The MK celebration ought to be the ideal celebration for everybody. We are everything about non-racialism, non-sexism and non-tribalism, and non-xenophobic.
Q: There are talks that you are being prepared to ultimately prosper your daddy as leader of the MK celebration. Is that something you would think about, and do you see yourself following in his steps?
A: Offered a chance, hell yeah.
I believe those are some enormous shoes that I do not believe lots of individuals can fill, myself consisted of. What he does, he’s been doing, and nobody does it much better than him. I do me at all times. If I can end up being half the guy that he has actually been as a political leader, statesman and daddy, I would have made it.
Q: How eager is the MK celebration to govern, offered what took place in 2024?
A: We will not participate in unions simply for the sake of it. We are not here to save individuals who have actually ruined. We do not desire a circumstance where we are reanimating celebrations that individuals have actually turned down. DM
Then-White House Deputy Chief of Staff and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller speaks throughout an occasion with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House on August 6, 2026, in Washington, D.C.[ 19659002]Alex Wong/ Getty Images
Sincere, paywall-free news is uncommon. Please support our boldly independent journalism with a contribution of any size.
In a “60 Minutes” interview that aired on Sunday nightPresident Donald Trump confessed that Republicans’ huge beats in the midterm elections arised from extensive disappointment with the war on Iran, along with his migration policies.
Repeating that he “was not on the tally”– as if to recommend that assistance would have been greater for him personally– Trump stated that Americans “didn’t like the war” and “the reality that fuel increased,” declaring he “had it down at a low” prior to introducing the war. In Trump’s evaluation, public opposition to his war on Iran is reducible to fuel costs.
Trump likewise mentioned that Republicans’ huge losses throughout the midterm elections was because of “a terrific dislike, extremely, for Israel”– identifying growing opposition to the U.S.’s relationship with the genocidal state as simple “dislike.”
Trump then stated that his migration policies might have likewise impacted the midterms, which he might have been “too hard.”
“I believe I got an A+ for closing up the border,” he stated. “I get extremely high marks for getting the bad ones out. I get harmed since we likewise took individuals that had great tasks, that developed one infraction, or breaking of the law, and that was that they came into the nation unlawfully. And there’s a big group of individuals believe they must be permitted to remain.”
“So you believe your deportation policy went too far?” asked CBS News‘s Ross Douthat.
“I believe it may be too difficult,” Trump responded.
In the interview, Trump acknowledged a main contradiction in his administration: that he is captured in between the top priorities of his far best base, who “would like everyone secured”, and the basic population, which declines his harsh policies.
Quickly after his “60 Minutes” interview on Friday, Trump revealed that he was promoting political consultant Stephen Miller to White House chief of personnel– recommending that he does not, in reality, strategy to soften his technique to migration enforcement. Miller is referred to as the hardline, white nationalist designer of Trump’s mass deportation policies, including his policy of household separation.
Over the previous year of his administration, Trump has actually been required to temper the most obvious elements of his migration crackdown, after Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) harsh “Operation Metro Surge” in the Twin Cities produced prevalent resistance, especially after migration representatives eliminated Minneapolis locals Renee Good and Alex Pretti. As an outcome of extensive opposition, mass demonstrations, and even a basic strike in the Twin Cities, Trump changed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem with Markwayne Mullin, who assured that DHS operations would be less noticeable and avoid of the headings.
While subsequent ICE operations have actually not been as brazen as that of Operation Metro Surge, the company’s method has actually not essentially altered. In New York City in July and August, ICE’s “Operation Rotten Appleled to the arrests of some 2,200 individuals– more than the quantity apprehended by ICE throughout Operation Metro Surge previously in the year. The New York City operation, nevertheless, handled to avert the very same level of pushback, as ICE representatives stayed less noticeable, showing up in unmarked cars and trucks and apprehending and vanishing individuals rapidly, before resistance might emerge.
Trump likewise specified in the “60 Minutes” interview that he would deal with Democrats on migration. His classification of immigrants as either tough employees or “rough,” “drug dealerships” and “killers” echoes rhetoric that has actually been crucial to both Republicans’ and Democrats’ method to migration considering that the 1980s– and to bipartisan “detailed migration reform” policies that have actually significantly delivered ground to the.
While citizens turned down Trump’s policies in the midterm elections, it is little surprise that Trump has actually used to deal with Democrats on migration, as they do not represent a real option to the criminalization, deportation, and precarity used to undocumented immigrants and asylum applicants.
The president’s promo of Miller recommends that even as Trump’s own appeal falls, his aggressive deportation strategies are most likely to continue.
