@DasenThathiah Police training academy manual and venue must be developed and based in KZN. Police confidence in KZN is commendable. 🙏

It took under 12 hours for police to capture five armed robbers who pulled off a daring jewellery heist at Gateway yesterday. Almost R2-million in stolen goods have been recovered. Members of the SAPS Economic Infrastructure Task Team, Provincial Murder and Robbery Unit and Provincial Tracing Task Team found three men at a hideout in Umlazi. Two others were intercepted on the N2. All suspects are in their late twenties or early thirties. Two security officials were shot and wounded during the armed robbery around 4pm yesterday. @eNCA

@koko_matshela Mental health is real. The guy in rope must be admitted because wow.

This is madness 😠

@spectatorindex A prank probably

EUROPE: 12 tonnes of KitKat and the truck transporting them were stolen while in transit from central Italy on the way to Poland.

@koko_matshela Spot on, consumerism shift is a must, switch to industrialisation.

The Engineer Speaks We are being sold a mirage. South Africa calls its renewable energy rollout a "green industrial revolution." But the truth is far more sobering: it is a construction project, not an industrial strategy. We import the high-value components—solar panels, inverters, turbines—from China and Germany. We contribute the civil works, the steel structures, and the assembly labour. Then we call it "local content." The engineering—the research, the innovation, the intellectual property—happens elsewhere(Offshore). This is not a path to reindustrialisation. It is a repetition of our oldest economic wound: exporting raw capacity and importing finished value. For a young person considering engineering, what incentive exists here? To design cutting-edge power electronics? To develop next-generation battery storage? Those careers do not exist in this country. The industry does not require a nation of engineers. It requires project managers, construction crews, and technicians. So the talented leave. Or they abandon engineering for finance. And the cycle of deindustrialisation continues. Compare this to what South Africa has done before. SASOL did not simply import technology under sanctions—it built world-leading, indigenous chemical engineering capability from the ground up. The automotive sector spent decades building a genuine components supply chain. That was industrialisation. That was a bet on local brains and local capacity. Today, we have the minerals—platinum, manganese, vanadium—that the green economy runs on. But we export them raw, only to import the finished products. We host the infrastructure while others capture the knowledge. A renewable energy boom that does not manufacture, does not innovate, and does not create high-end engineering careers is not a driver for industrialisation. It is a missed opportunity disguised as progress. Until we demand localisation of value, not just weight. Until we leverage our mineral wealth for technology transfer. Until we invest in strategic R&D with the same ambition that built SASOL (Fischer tropsch process)—the incentive structure for engineering will remain broken. And the sadness of watching a country deindustrialise in real time will only deepen. Engineer Matshela Koko 🇿🇦

@DrAneleMngadi Who is the acting judge that signed off the default judgement? He/she contributed and must be called to account how many lives he destroyed.

@PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa May his soul rest in peace 🕊️🕊️

President @CyrilRamaphosa has learnt with profound sadness of the passing of Mosiuoa Gerard Patrick Lekota, former Free State Premier, Defence Minister, and the Congress of the People co-founder. The President’s thoughts and prayers are with Mr Lekota’s family, COPE and his associates across the political spectrum. shorturl.at/mwftQ

@Solyricon Let him enjoy the peace in peace 🤐

Today I heard a guy say, “My girlfriend doesn’t fight with me anymore, doesn’t complain, and forgives me for everything.” Are you guys going to tell him, or should I?

South Africa 🇿🇦😭is experiencing this chaos. Hence everything is going wrong because we are paying for illegal foreigners.

@MmusiMaimane I hear you very well. A bachelors pass is useless if no traditional university or university of technology can accept a student. The psychology that one is holding a bachelors pass but cannot be accepted into those higher learning institutions is painful to watch.

The minister knows the truth.

@Tina_Hokwana And 11 years later no one in the safety and justice system deem it necessary to arrest and deport the law breaker.

He then sought to review and set aside the Minister's decision rejecting his appeal under s8(6) of the Immigration Act to be declared a non-prohibited person. In the alternative, he sought an order for the Minister to be directed to retake the decision. The application was dismissed with costs. The decision declaring him a prohibited person was declared valid.

Please look at this audacity. Mr Akinsanya, a Nigerian citizen, first entered SA on 12 November 2014 on a 10-day visitor's visa expiring on 22 November 2014. He did not leave the country when his visa expired but instead, applied for a work visa while in SA. This is not allowed as one cannot convert a visitor’s visa to a work visa, and if another visa is required, this must be applied for from the country of origin and not from within SA.

The @npclub today opened nominations for “Newsmaker of the Year”- 2025. I have nominated Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, KZN Police Commissioner. I doubt there can be any other winner!! RETWEET if you agree that he should be given the “Newsmaker of the Year” title.

@ZandiSussex Love this always, happy New Year 💝

This is me when the trolls say “Zandi is Meghan”. Thank you for the compliment!🥳💃🏻 #MeghanSussexIsGoals

@Abramjee @SAPoliceService @JoburgMPD @MTshwaku The minimum bail amount is too little and easy to raise. It needs to start at minimum of R100k.

This suspect was apparently arrested previously and released. There needs to be a full investigation. @SAPoliceService @JoburgMPD @MTshwaku

@zilevandamme 1st respondent : the shooter. 2nd resondent: the hospital

Victim is shot and injured. The injury is serious but not enough to cause death. The hospital is negligent in its treatment, and the victim dies. Who is responsible for the victim's death?
