Now, who is the biggest threat to the world, again?
South African Communist Party (SACP) general secretary Solly Mapaila has called on left-wing and progressive formations to unite against what he described as a deepening global capitalist crisis, warning that fragmentation was weakening efforts to respond to unemployment, inequality and poverty in South Africa.

Three Illegal Foreigners Arrested After Being Caught Red-Handed in Benoni Offloading Tyres from Hijacked Trailers as EMPD Recovers Stolen Freight After Swift Tip-Off Action
On Thursday 28 May 2026 at 12h30, officers from the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department Intervention and Community Liaison Units arrested three foreign nationals aged between 33 and 47 in the Benoni area for possession of reported hijacked trailers, possession of suspected stolen property, and contravention of the Immigration Act.
Acting on a tip-off, officers were alerted to a suspicious articulated truck loaded with two containers seen in the Petit area. They traced the vehicle to a plot on Pretoria Road, where they discovered two trailers reported hijacked in Boksburg and observed three suspects offloading tyres from the containers before moving in.
During the operation, officers recovered the two trailers and two containers loaded with tyres valued at over R60 500. A Boksburg case number was linked to the recovered property. The three suspects were arrested and detained at Benoni Police Station on charges linked to hijacked trailers and Immigration Act violations.
All three suspects are expected to appear before the Benoni Magistrate’s Court soon. They will face charges of possession of reported hijacked trailers, possession of suspected stolen property, and contravention of the Immigration Act following the EMPD-led operation and the recovery of the stolen assets.

@Abramjee This court case is just a smokescreen. He probably has other devices which are not registered to him which carry the sensitive and incriminating evidence. Investigators must trace these other devices that he is or has been using.
LATEST:
In his affidavit, Major General Feroz Khan from Crime Intellegence (CI) argued that the electronic devices seized during his arrest contain deeply personal and confidential information, as well as highly sensitive policing and intelligence-related material linked to his role in Crime Intelligence.
He warns that unrestricted access to the devices could compromise national security, undercover operations, and the safety of individuals, potentially leading to loss of life, assassinations, and financial losses running into millions of rands.
Khan further states that the devices contain life-and-death situations, which he claims were unlawfully taken.
The matter was struck from the court roll today after it emerged that the devices are now in the possession of evidence leaders at the Madlanga Commission.
Sources indicate that the commission has since written to Khan, saying it is investigating his claims relating to safety and security concerns he mentions in the affidavit.
It’s unclear whether Khan has been issued with a subpoena to appear before the commission.
Khan was in-charge of Counter Intellegence.
After he was found not guilty at a disciplinary hearing, he was appointed as head of Operational Intelligence Support at CI.

@CityofJoburgZA Hiw can political parties approve a budget that is more than double the inflation rate on increases to electricity, water etc. The money must come rather from reducing wastage, corruption, and mismanagement. Residents cant afford these increases!!
🚧 R1.8 billion has been allocated to roads and stormwater operations in Johannesburg’s 2026/27 Budget, with a further R570 million for capital investment.
From road resurfacing and gravel road upgrades to improved stormwater systems and public transport infrastructure, the City is investing in safer, more reliable movement across Joburg.

@PresidencyZA Is govt or @HealthZA or its partners receiivng any money directly or indirectly from big pharma for rolling out HIV vaccine? Are SAns guinea pigs for this new vaccine? We saw similar for covid19 vaccine.
@barrybateman@Recon1_ZA Are the devices being planted in the foods that a re being packed on shelves
Is it timed to detonate?
Should we be avoiding Woolworths ? @SAPoliceService are very slow with information and investigation here.
@Recon1_ZA Someone needs to say something quickly. I am surprised this is not getting more attention.
What were the devices? Is this part of a campaign? Have suspects been identified? Any message for the public?
The silence is a problem.
2 Woolworths bombings/explosions now in 24 hours, and still no confirmation from Hawks or SAPS on what it is that is actually exploding?
When bombs are going off in shopping malls, I'd say that's a pretty big deal.

I have no problem with Islam. I’m just against beheading, stoning, marrying little girls, sexual slavery, taqiyya, slave trading, rape, forced conversions, jihad, burqa, attacking other religions, child abuse, women abuse, animal abuse, multiple wives, murder, Sharia, terrorism, brainwashing, intolerance, greed, anti-science, torture, illiteracy, gluttony, genital mutilation, inbreeding. Does that make me Islamophobic?

Yes, I can actually believe this. When you’re used to unlimited access to the feeding trough as a tenderpreneur, then a meager MP salary of R1,4M per year won’t cut it.
@AdriaanBasson It is such recklessness that will lead to ratings downgrades on the city's debt and cause borrowing costs to rise sharply..Jhb is already on its knees financially but leadership dont seem to care.
