.@PressSec: "The United States is not participating in official talks at the G20 in South Africa. I saw the South African President running his mouth a little bit against the United States and @POTUS... and that language is not appreciated by @POTUS and his team."
I’m a girl from South Africa, of course I feel unsafe leaving my house to go anywhere.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Streamer 'Chud the Builder' charged with attempted murder.
[FORMER NORTHERN CAPE GOVERNMENT SPOKESPERSON SENTENCED FOR MULTIPLE RAPE OFFENCES] Rapist, Douglas Mthukwane (45), a former Northern Cape Provincial Government spokesperson and journalist, was sentenced by the Northern Cape Division of the High Court following his conviction on four counts of rape. Mthukwane was sentenced after the court found him guilty on all four counts during proceedings concluded in January 2026. The matter had been enrolled on the High Court roll since 2022 and was characterised by numerous delays occasioned by the conduct of the accused, including repeated changes of legal representatives and a 30-day psychiatric observation process. Count one relates to the rape of the first complainant, who was only 14 years old at the time of the offence in 2016. The accused had befriended the complainant’s family and, under the pretence of transporting her to school, instead took her to his apartment, where he raped her before dropping her off at school. The complainant immediately reported the incident to the deputy principal, who contacted the police. Although the accused was arrested and appeared before the court, the complainant later requested the withdrawal of the matter due to severe trauma and subsequently relocated to Johannesburg. The second count relates to the rape of the second complainant in 2017. The complainant was walking to a nearby shop when the accused stopped his vehicle and requested directions to Dadelboom Street. Pretending to be unfamiliar with the area, he persuaded her to enter the vehicle and direct him. Instead, he drove her to a secluded area where he raped her. As the complainant did not know the accused, he was only identified and arrested in 2018 after she unexpectedly saw him at the police station in Phakamile Majiba Street and pointed him out to the investigating officer. Counts three and four relate to the rape of the third complainant in 2019. The complainant and the accused had become acquainted through Facebook. After she requested assistance in obtaining copies of her curriculum vitae, the accused collected her from her residence and drove her to his apartment in Beaconsfield, where he raped her. To escape, she pretended that she needed to use the bathroom. Although initially allowed to leave the room, the accused became suspicious when she remained away for too long, threatened her, and raped her again. The 2017 and 2019 matters initially served on the lower court roll and were subsequently struck from the roll. Upon referral to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, a decision was taken to proceed with the 2016 matter alongside the remaining charges, resulting in a consolidated prosecution before the High Court. The presentation of evidence by Senior State Advocate Adele Van Heerden proved particularly challenging due to the severe trauma suffered by all three complainants. Cross-examination was lengthy and emotionally taxing, with the accused frequently refusing to answer direct questions and instead providing lengthy narratives. Proceedings were further marked by emotional outbursts and insulting behaviour from the accused. During sentencing proceedings, the defence presented evidence from the probation officer who compiled the pre-sentencing report, as well as testimony from the accused’s mother. The State presented victim impact reports relating to complainants two and three. Although the complainant no longer resides in the province, her victim impact statement, including her own testimony, was also presented before the court. In sentencing, the court found substantial and compelling circumstances warranting deviation from the prescribed minimum sentence of life imprisonment on counts one, three and four. Mthukwane was sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment on count one and 18 years’ imprisonment on each of counts two to four. The court ordered the sentences on counts two to four to run concurrently with the sentence imposed on count one.
SANParks has launched an investigation to trace and identify a man seen in viral social media footage allegedly engaging in dangerous and unlawful driving inside the Kruger National Park. They described the incident as deeply concerning and condemned the driver’s actions as reckless, irresponsible and a serious violation of conservation laws. According to SANParks, the footage shows the individual illegally crossing rivers with a vehicle, driving on roads that had officially been closed, and operating the vehicle recklessly within the protected area. Authorities said the conduct displayed a blatant disregard for public safety, environmental protection measures, conservation regulations and the authority of park management. SANParks stressed that national parks are protected under strict environmental legislation, including the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) and the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act (NEMPAA). These laws prohibit activities that could damage ecosystems, threaten biodiversity, endanger wildlife or compromise visitor safety. The organisation warned that violations could result in criminal charges, substantial fines, imprisonment, civil claims for damages and administrative sanctions. The agency highlighted that driving through rivers and ignoring road closures can severely damage sensitive ecosystems and infrastructure, while also putting both humans and animals at risk. Road closures in the park are often implemented for critical safety reasons, including flooding, poor road conditions and wildlife movement. SANParks confirmed that officials are actively working to identify the suspect and warned that once located, he could face the full might of the law, including fines and a possible ban from all SANParks-managed protected areas. SANParks said, “We are looking for this individual, and he will face the music.” The organisation also confirmed that gate officials allegedly seen in the video encouraging or supporting the conduct will face consequences for violating park regulations and staff conduct rules. Members of the public with information that may assist investigators have been urged to contact SANParks or the nearest law enforcement authorities. @SANParks
