President Mulaudzi and Former President Hendrik Zondo's meeting ends in bloodshed. Reality inspires fiction in The Republic with the story set in present day South Africa. In 2009 when president Kgalema Motlanthe's term in office ended, he was replaced by President Hendrik Mbuli whose presidency was riddled with corruption and looting of state funds. Mbuli is fired from government making way for the party's secretary Lufuno Mulaudzi to take the reins as president. We meet President Mulaudzi who has spent two years fighting corruption and prosecuting those who benefited from Mbuli's presidency - including Mbuli himself. See less
