EXCLUSIVE Several senior police officers, including Generals, have been arrested in Pretoria on corruption related charges. It is linked to the Medicare Tshwane District contract. Sources say the arrested cops were part of the bid committee. We also believe that a former senior employee of Vusi “Cat” Matlala is behind bars. They are being detained at a police station in the capital. All those arrested will appear in court tomorrow. @pule_jones

M26 and Grey Street, Erasmia, Pretoria. There are crashes at this intersection almost every week. It’s a provincial road and locals are calling on @GPDRT_ to urgently look at traffic calming measures. The closure of Fortuna Street (gate) means that this intersection is seeing heavy traffic. @CityTshwane @naeempatelSA @GautengProvince @TMPDSafety

We will not tolerate the idea of ‘no go areas’ in Tshwane. We were in Laudium this afternoon where a shooting incident occurred. While we’ve established the facts about the shooting incident not being targeted at Tshwane’s health inspectors, we are concerned about incidents of violence. We want residents and businesses to feel safe in Tshwane. We were joined by TMPD and local councillors. The butchery that sparked the shooting incident has been prohibited from operating. @CityTshwane

Today, at the invitation of Laudium Ward 61 Councillor Naeem Patel, I had the honour of attending the 4th Annual Naeem Patel and Family Matric & Community Excellence Awards. The awards celebrate academic excellence and community pride, and are a reaffirmation that education remains the most powerful investment we can make, one that inspires possibility, restores hope and builds future leaders who will drive inclusive growth and secure our city’s future. We congratulate the Ward 61 Matric Class of 2025, they have done us proud. We are humbled by the dedication of the Educators,the support from parents and SGBs and further acknowledge the business community that has contributed to this success. @CityTshwane

@Rand_Water Laudium’s reservoir is empty since Monday! How long does it take to recover?

Please note that it will take some time for the system to fully recover and build up capacity. Water supply won’t resume immediately—low-lying areas will see restoration first, while high-lying areas may experience longer delays.
