@itchybyte @AyandaDyani1 @LudidiVelani I can’t seem to open the link, would you please share the name of the case. Would love to read it 🙏🏽

A High Court judgment details how a witness to a mass shooting narrowly escaped death after trying to report the perpetrators to police. After giving information at a police station, he received a call from a relative while walking home, asking what he had done. The gunmen were already at his house, waiting for him. Realising the danger, he turned back and returned to the station. There, he encountered a different officer, one of the honest ones who ensured his safety.
The matter was escalated to provincial level, and a plan was made to relocate him to his village in the Eastern Cape. But just before they could reach their destination, another warning came through: armed men were at his home. The officer was forced to turn back to Cape Town.
The witness was then hidden in a secure location known only to the investigating officer until the trial was finalised. The shooters were eventually convicted and sentenced. He was one of the fortunate few, many witnesses in similar cases do not live to tell their stories

@LudidiVelani Don’t blame it on the government, blame it on the communities who are protecting these thugs

@itchybyte I have decided to just tolerate and deal with the side effects from gluten from now on. Those gluten free bread rolls taste like nothing and IMO and from the personal experience of them they sap joy.

Judging by the runny nose and bouts of sneezing I get after eating bread rolls with gluten in I am a tad gluten intolerant. Friday afternoon I bought a couple of packets of gluten free wholewheat bread rolls from @WOOLWORTHS_SA in Rand Steam because they had only one packet of

@AyandaDyani1 @LudidiVelani There you go. I covered this case. What that witness went through initially was insane. Also read up on the Nyalara case. Cops get nothing on the scene. Witnesses know they are being watched. saflii.org/za/cases/ZAWCH…

@MarkDC44424252 @DereleenJ can speak for herself but this is a woman who knows too well how addiction affects families and communities. It is a terrible disease and she has been fighting the cruelty of this scourge for years, often with a broken heart, long before she was an MP so back off.

@MarianneValen20 It's very expensive but the sliced gf bread is not the worst. Freeze and take out as you need. The hot dog rolls are okay too, if a bit chewy. There's also the gf self bake bread from Dischem (again, quite expensive).

@MarianneValen20 I'm sorry to hear that! I hope all will be well.

@karynmaughan The more trials I cover these days the more I think postal pigeons and a box of Lion matches are the solution. The analysts find everything now.

The fact that Nkosi did not wipe his phone - despite having a lot of time to do so - fascinates me.
Was it stupidity?
Or did he want to have evidence if someone tried to set him up to take the fall?

Terribly sad news. Jonisayi had a cool head, fast fingers and a kind heart - a great journo. Lots of love to his family.

@itchybyte @CityofCT @SAPoliceService I WAS howling & the Santam Road side assistance guy kept on getting the ID no wrong so could not pull up policy. Then asked if I'm in Durban. WTF ?! THEN could not find Exit 15 on Google Maps. Their WA wasn't working. I was HYSTERICAL! My friend called COCT for me. Such a mess!

This is an appreciation post for Larochelle of @CityofCT Emergency services who sent two Manenberg @SAPoliceService
officers, Ngundze & Ndonga to my aid whilst I waited for a tow truck. I was stuck on the N2 betw Jakes Gerwel & Duinefontein & I almost blacked out from panic. TY.

@CollinsMandy I'm sorry Mandy. Can't believe the "exception" - implying you must be grateful after the threshold question you pointed out could not be answered properly.

As promised. Discovery finally solved my problem, but I've written about it anyway, because their systems seem to be fundamentally broken, and I'm a writer. So I write. mandycollinswriter.wordpress.com/2026/02/11/com…
