This is the locl daily briefing, afternoon edition, for Sunday, 13 September 2026. Here's what moved across South African talk radio and podcasts from today's morning shows. Sunday's talk radio was dominated by two big stories that crossed every major station: a chilling warning from Gauteng police about four women's bodies found in Kempton Park, and the Springboks' 43-28 demolition of the All Blacks in Baltimore to clinch rugby's Greatest Rivalry series. Alongside these, party funding disclosures, a diplomatic tussle over South Africa's G20 seat, and a moving Cape Talk tribute to the Trojan Horse Memorial rounded out the day. First up, Kempton Park deaths spark serial killer fears. The discovery of a fourth woman's body in Rhodesfield dominated bulletins on 702, Cape Talk, SAfm and Power FM. National Commissioner Lieutenant General Bulang Dimpani ordered a multidisciplinary task team, drawing in the Murder and Robbery Unit and the Investigative Psychology Unit, to establish whether the deaths are linked. Acting Gauteng Commissioner Fred Kegana told a Johannesburg briefing the victims, aged 32 to 38, were found in similar circumstances near the R21. Police urged women not to walk or run alone in isolated areas and confirmed one arrest so far, while also flagging a spike in online dating scam robberies in the same area. Next, Springboks clinch Greatest Rivalry series in Baltimore. Stations were still buzzing on Sunday morning after the Springboks ran in six tries to beat the All Blacks 43-28 at MNT Bank Stadium, clinching the inaugural Greatest Rivalry Series 3-1 in front of a majority South African crowd. Commentators noted it looked more like a home fixture than a US neutral venue, with the result cementing Rassie Erasmus's era as back-to-back World Cup winners, Lions series victors and rugby championship holders. All Blacks coach Dave Rennie conceded his side was outplayed in the aerial battle, praising Bok kicking and set-piece work ahead of the USA's 2031 World Cup. Elsewhere, BRICS backs SA's G20 seat as Trump pushes exclusion. The New Delhi BRICS declaration explicitly reaffirmed South Africa's founding-member status in the G20, a pointed rebuke to Donald Trump's push to exclude Pretoria from the Miami summit in November over his debunked white genocide claims. 702 and Cape Talk carried Corinda Jagman's reporting that Brazil, Russia, India and China argued G20 membership must reflect geographical balance and full global south representation. The story fed into wider coverage of party funding disclosures at home, where the IEC revealed the ANC declared around R53 million and mining group Exxaro topped up the multi-party democracy fund by R25 million. Next, Trojan Horse Memorial and the meaning of 1985. Cape Talk's weekend breakfast devoted an extended segment to the Trojan Horse Memorial in Athlone ahead of its Heritage Day anniversary, hosting Professor Premesh Lalu of UWC's Centre for Humanities Research. The conversation revisited 15 October 1985, when security police hidden in crates on a South African Railways truck opened fire on Thornton Road protesters, killing three young people. Lalu pushed back on the caricature of rampaging youth, describing pupils who rejected what they called gutter education and pointing to the memorial's role as a site of memory rather than a tourist attraction, especially given the 1989 acquittals. And finally, AKA inquest hears from first officers on scene. Cape Talk's weekend team unpacked the latest from the inquest into the death of rapper Kiernan AKA Forbes and fiancée Anele Tembe, with correspondent Dudu Zela Nele relaying testimony about the first officers who arrived at the Cape Town hotel. Witnesses described Tembe's body being covered by a sheet and the investigating officer arriving 30 to 40 minutes later, while inferences were raised about a member of the Forbes entourage reportedly ordering tequila shots shortly after the fall. The inquest has been postponed to 19 October, with the case continuing to hold public attention years after the deaths. That's your locl briefing for Sunday, 13 September 2026.

Kimi Antonelli, George Russell, and Lando Norris will finish first, second, and third respectively in the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid.

Look, I really think there'll be some carnage on track. That's my prediction. Yeah, and so I'm predicting that whatever I say now could be completely distorted. But I'll call it safe. I think we'll do Kimmy Antonelli, George Russell, and I'm going to go Lando Norris.

The verdict· graded 13 Sept

Antonelli won the first GP of Spain in Madring; Verstappen was 2nd and Norris 3rd.

The dated evidence from 2026-09-13 shows Antonelli first, Verstappen second, and Norris third, so Russell did not finish second as predicted. The undated Formula1.com result conflicts with the dated reports, but the dated passages establish the deciding outcome.

Coco Gauff will win the 2026 US Open women's singles title.

Oh, I am going to go with Coco Gough in the women's singles

Mawande Matias · 702 · 12 Sept 2026

The verdict· graded 12 Sept

Coco Gauff did not win the 2026 US Open women’s singles title; Elena Rybakina beat her in the semifinals and advanced to the final against Aryna Sabalenka.

The prediction required Gauff to win the title, but the official match reports show she lost to Rybakina 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the semifinals on September 10, 2026. Since she was eliminated before the championship match, the claim is false.
