Chapter 35 - Episode 35: The Donor’s Dirty Money

They always say: follow the money.

Mokoena's biggest campaign donor, Elias Radebe, was a respected mining mogul with clean press, fake charities, and a holy image. But Vusi's leaked files showed a different side: bribes, illegal land grabs, and "donations" used to pay off political violence.

> "He's the financial artery," Lynn said, looking over the data. "We cut him off… and Mokoena bleeds."

Michael already had a plan. "We go loud. Make it messy. Public."

The Next Morning...

Botswana woke up to chaos.

News alerts flashed across every screen:

📰 "EXPOSED: Billionaire Elias Radebe's Dirty Ties to Mokoena's Campaign."

📰 "Leaked Reports Show Stolen Community Funds Used for Political Bribery."

📰 "Non-profit or Money-Laundering Front? Radebe Foundation Under Fire."

Accompanying the headlines were screenshots, leaked bank records, drone footage of illegal mining sites, and even voice notes — one where Elias casually joked about "shutting up activists with donations."

It wasn't just a scandal.

It was a massive takedown.

At Mokoena's compound...

Panic.

Phones rang non-stop. Lawyers shouted. Donors pulled out. And in the center of the storm, Mokoena stood seething.

> "Who the hell leaked this?!"

His campaign manager rushed in. "We've lost three sponsors already. Parliament's calling for an ethics investigation. Radebe's gone silent!"

Mokoena slammed his fist on the table.

> "This isn't a leak. It's war."

He turned to Vusi, unaware he was staring at the traitor.

> "Find me the source. I want them crushed."

Vusi nodded like the perfect soldier… even as he texted Lynn under the table:

"Target neutralized. He's unraveling."

Back at Lynn's apartment…

She watched Radebe's televised press conference fall apart.

> "I've never knowingly funded anything—"

"What about the voice recording, sir?"

"That was edited!"

Lynn muted the screen and smiled.

> "Let's see who else wants to fund the devil now."

Michael raised his glass. "To public execution… without bullets."

> "Cheers," Lynn said. "And next?"

Her eyes turned cold.

> "Let's isolate Mokoena. One by one, till even his shadow walks away."
