I Bafana Surprise Mathebula published various unlawful, defamatory and false statements against @tumisole Mr Tumi Sole.
The publications I made about Tumi Sole were untruthful, unlawful and defamatory. I extend my sincere apology to Mr Tumi Sole for impugning his reputation and further extend my apology to his Family and Business associates.

BREAKING NEWS | Security boss Calvin Mathibeli has just suffered another legal defeat. Last month, Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi approached the KZN High Court after Mathibeli called him corrupt, captured and insinuated he was behind unlawful killings. At the time, the court ruled in the provincial commissioner’s favour - but this was challenged by the respondent. Now, Mathibeli’s leave to appeal the initial judgement - mainly compelling him to publicly retract his defamatory statements and not repeat them - has just been dismissed with punitive costs. This means he must comply with the above order within 24 hours. @eNCA

@Lastking_Dk @KhosiNationFTV @H_Permza Firstly, not everyone in the squad are better than those that are not eg, Reynars better than Makgopa, Kekana better than Sibisi.
Secondly, Hugo doesn't know everything.

@KhosiNationFTV @H_Permza Then why isn’t he in the Bafana set up? Or you know better than Hugo?

JUST IN:
Tshwane MMC for Corporate and Shared Services, Clir Kholofelo Morodi has been fired.
This follows testimony at the Madlanga Commission.
“The material before me reflects a pattern of engagement and conduct over an extended period, including an inappropriate relationship between Clir Morodi and Sergeant Nkosi, which raises serious concerns regarding the handling of information and adherence to the standards expected of members of the executive,” said Mayor @nasiphim

#WitnessD
Lawyer representing Matipandile Sotheni, Marius Van Der Merwe "Witness D" alleged shooter say they are baffled by Soteni telling the court on March 25 that he 'did not give instructions, I'm being decided upon, this guy I'm seeing today for the first time' in reference to the lawyer who was in court. Attorney, Eric Bryer who Sotheni was referring to has produced documentation indicating they consulted with Sotheni on March 18 at Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Services where Power of Attorney and a mandate agreement was signed.
SABC News understands, though, that Correctional Services won't hand over the visitors' book to media due to the POPIA Act.

@Vhakhonimajor @MDNnewss I saw a headline in the news yesterday that they are using accomodations to milk NSFAS dry. Its like every accomodation is paid on the benchmark even if the rental is supposed to be R1500.

@MDNnewss I am not surprised. They also pay R6000 for this type of accommodation. What is the difference of sleeping here and sleeping under the bridge?

NSFAS Under Fire After Auditor-General Reveals Bursaries Paid to Over 800 Deceased Students
NSFAS is facing renewed outrage after the Auditor-General revealed that the National Student Financial Aid Scheme continued to pay bursaries to more than 800 students recorded as deceased, while thousands of ineligible applicants also received funding meant for the country’s poorest learners.
According to the investigation, 822 students listed as dead in the Department of Home Affairs database remained on NSFAS’s active funding list. In addition, thousands of students who exceeded the income threshold and therefore did not qualify were also paid.
Higher Education Minister Buti Manamela confirmed the findings, acknowledging that they expose serious deficiencies in
NSFAS’s verification processes. Funds intended for poor and working-class students have been diverted due to inadequate cross-checking with death records and income data.
The scandal has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many South Africans comparing it to the persistent problem of “ghost employees” in government departments.
Critics have called for urgent intervention by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) and the Hawks, questioning how such payments could continue undetected and urging authorities to trace where the money has gone.
Some have pointed out the irony, as living students often struggle to secure or retain NSFAS funding due to strict academic and eligibility checks.
NSFAS, which supports over a million students annually, has faced repeated criticism for inefficiencies, including payment delays, fraud allegations, and weak systems integration. This latest disclosure underscores the need for better data-sharing between government departments and tighter controls to prevent the misuse of public funds.
No exact monetary figure for the overpayments was provided in the report, but even modest monthly disbursements to 822 accounts would represent a significant leakage from the fiscus.
As calls grow for accountability, the Department of Higher Education and NSFAS are expected to face increased pressure to implement immediate fixes, including automated death notifications and enhanced eligibility audits.

National Police Commissioners: The scorecard
✅ Commissioners who completed full terms..
Very few have actually seen out a full, stable term.
• George Fivaz (1995–2000)
→ Completed his term.
• Khehla Sitole (2017–2022)
→ Effectively completed his term (left by agreement at end of tenure).
👉 Total: 2 commissioners who can reasonably be said to have completed full terms.
❌ Commissioners who did NOT complete their terms
Most were forced out, suspended, or left under a cloud:
• Jackie Selebi (2000–2008)
→ Suspended before term ended.
• Bheki Cele (2009–2011)
→ Suspended and later fired over misconduct.
• Riah Phiyega (2012–2015)
→ Suspended, never returned.
• Acting commissioners (like Khomotso Phahlane)
→ Short-term, often ended in scandal or removal.
• Fannie Masemola (2022– )
→ Still in office, now facing charges.
👉 Pattern: instability is the norm, not the exception.
⚖️ Commissioners charged criminally:
This is where it gets even more serious.
• Jackie Selebi
→ Charged and convicted of corruption.
• Khehla Sitole
→ Faced criminal charges related to an IPID investigation.
• Fannie Masemola
→ Now set to be charged over the R360m tender scandal.
👉 Total: At least 3 commissioners have faced criminal charges.
📊 Bottom line
• Completed full terms: 2
• Faced criminal charges: 3
🧭 What this actually tells you?
This isn’t just bad luck — it’s systemic:
• Leadership instability at the top of SAPS is chronic
• Allegations of corruption reach the highest office in policing
• Public trust gets hammered every time this cycle repeats.

Accused number six, Brigadier Patrick Nethengwe, has requested that his passport be returned to him should he be granted bail, citing that his wife resides in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Nethengwe submitted that, in the event of an emergency, he may need to travel urgently to Zimbabwe to attend to his wife. However, his legal representative indicated that, should the court decline this request, they would have no objection to surrendering the passport to the authorities 📘
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) stated that it does not oppose the request in principle, but proposed that the passport be held by the investigating officer. It further suggested that, should the accused need to travel, he must first comply with prescribed terms and conditions, after which the passport may be released to him for a specific trip. Upon his return, he would be required to hand it back to the investigating officer within 24 hours.
[ In 2018, Brigadier Nethengwe was convicted of culpable homicide ]

NOW: "Lovers" Rachel Matjeng (SAPS) and Vusimusi Cat Matlala exchange words before court proceedings get underway. @eNCA

@tembimnisi @MediaZaban865 @zukie129 Meaning a a wrong picture of Senthumule was attached in this tweet

■ Brigadier Rachel Matjeng (of the “Ozempic & BBL” fame)
• Major General Busi Temba (53)
• Brigadier Ofentse Tlhoaele
• Brigadier Kistey Jonker (53)
• Brigadier Thembinkosi
• Colonel Nehemiah Maleka (45)
• Colonel Johannes Monyai (53)
• Captain Brian Cartwright (45)
• Retired Colonel Anthony Paulsen (61)
These are some of the SAPS officers that have been arrested and detained at Silverton SAPS on charges of fraud, money laundering, and contraventions of the Finance Act.
Claudette Masete, a director of Medicare24 has also been arrested.
The charges relate to alleged corruption. The accused are expected to join Vusimusi “Cat” Matlala in the dock.
This means that Matlala now has additional charges to his charge sheet 🎯

@I_amThaboNdhlov @Skanda_Filez @Asibe_cool @MDNnewss And you believe that he was lawfully released?
If that so, then why was he hiding in Nandipha's house and even changed his looks?
Why did he leave the country unlawfully so?
Why staged a fire and even left a dead body of someone who was not even a convict in that cell?

@Skanda_Filez @Asibe_cool @MDNnewss If he was indeed released lawfully in prison , then that changes the whole thing
