Imagine being locked away in a prison cell after receiving a life sentence for a crime you did not commit. That is the life of Thembekile Mulaudzi who was wrongly convicted for the murder of a police man. On Law Focus we speak to Thembekile, his lawyer and the journalist that broke the story.

Senior journalist with The Wits Justice Project, Carolyn Raphaely joins us in studio to discuss how she followed the case and the story of Thembekile alongside human rights attorney Egon Oswald.

This edition of Law Focus is produced by Xoli Matomela and presented by Nyiko Shikwambane. Technical production by Kutlwano Serame
