South Africa is set to pilot drive-thru police stations in a bid to improve service delivery and reduce long queues at stations. The initiative, expected to roll out in major metros, will allow members of the public to report crimes, submit affidavits, certify documents and pay fines, without leaving their vehicles. Officials say the move is aimed at “modernising policing” and easing pressure on frontline officers. A SAPS insider says if successful, the model could be expanded nationwide. More details expected soon. #SouthAfrica #SAPS

Patrice Motsepe — mining magnate, philanthropist and football club owner — is going to be the next leader of the ANC. There’s no question. He’s ethically clean, dynamic, charming, rich as Croesus and smart, writes @Bruceps. sundaytimes.timeslive.co.za/opinion-and-an…
