How does it feel when the tables are turned? Thieves hit home of national police commissioner Khehla Sitole

Posted on Leave a comment

Thieves have made off with two TV sets from national police commissioner Khehla Sitole’s Mpumalanga home, SAPS confirmed on Monday.

Spokesperson Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo said the items were stolen by criminals who were “purely opportunistic”.

The commissioner’s house is under construction and the work was near completion when the theft occurred last Saturday while the General was attending a summit in Cape Town, Naidoo said.

Nothing else was stolen from the house.

News24 understands that there was no sign of forced entry onto the premises.

Investigations are underway.

Parliament’s porch talks lead to country’s downfall – SA needs action now to stop crime and not empty promises and threats

Posted on Leave a comment

The parliamentarians’ babble in parliament is to get sick, especially if, after a serious series of incidents, they suddenly think something needs to be done.

This is the opinion of a political analyst following the series of rapes that took place on several campuses across South Africa.

He says every member of parliament wants to talk about the matter, utter a lot of threats, thinks it’s time to act against the crime, and everything stops.

He says the MPs think if they cleaned up the rape case and said enough about the issue under discussion, then the case was won, and no rape will ever happen again.

Over the past week, dozens of rapes have been reported on campuses that leave the women students terrified while none of the criminals have been arrested.

It is precisely this behavior and condition that is frightening, and the speech in parliament, without approving legislation and measures, is the downfall of the country

Posted on Leave a comment

A routine search at the Westville Medium B prison in Durban on Monday resulted in the confiscation of a number of prohibited items such as sorghum beer and drugs, the department of correctional services said.

The search was part of the department’s annual Operation Vala security campaign, which resulted in numerous unauthorised items being confiscated from offenders at 40 prisons.

The operation started at 3.40am and ended at 8am on Monday.

Among the items found were 425 litres of sorghum beer, 75 mandrax tablets, 388 slopes of dagga, about R1,600 cash and 51 cellphones with lots of SIM cards.

Speaking to the media after the raid, KwaZulu-Natal regional correctional services commissioner Mnikelwa Nxele said inmates found with prohibited items would be charged.

Nxele thanked the police, Ethekwini metro police and customs department whose members also took part in the search.

So this then is the picture the world sees of law and order in South Africa?

Posted on Leave a comment

The president wants to emphasize the importance of tourism to a country, already well known, as an unsafe destination. And the government institution responsible for the safety and security of citizens and visitors alike carries an image such as this….

What concerns Front National most is the fact that this is the image of what “South Africans” accept and allow. The world does not pay attention to the statements of objection by individuals on the social media. They say: You have a democratic process and we don’t see evidence that you oppose these things. You keep on voting for impotent parties who does nothing to oppose the direction your country takes.

To that, we have no strong response. And we hear this when we speak to the outside world.

Therefore the white South African has to understand: as long as you carry on supporting the current Parliamentary parties, the world will understand that you tolerate and accept the S

Sly criminals pocketed money donations for Jacob Zuma’s legal costs in lawless stunt

Posted on Leave a comment

Blacks who are sly criminals are collecting money to help pay the legal costs of Jacob Zuma, but are make sure that they put the donations into their own pockets.

The crooks are not only based in Natal where they cheat uninformed people with the stunt, because the same trick has also been observed in Central Transvaal.

The ANC spokesmen say they will not discourage anyone who wants to help Zuma to blame for the debt, but the party distances him from any involvement in the relationship.

Financial experts doubt whether Zuma has the assets to pay about R16m of legal costs, and may be declared bankrupt in order to get rid of the debt burden.

Meanwhile, the communist SACP has seriously blamed its partner, the ANC, that they have called for Zuma to help make donations for his debt.

This report does not necessarily reflects the opinion of SA-news.

Criminals target Johannesburg clinics, facilities without electricity after cable theft – Services at the clinic have been temporarily suspended

Posted on Leave a comment

The Westbury clinic in Johannesburg was left without electricity after it was tampered with the facility’s main power cable said the health and social development department on Wednesday.

The clinic’s operating manager said in a statement he saw an unknown man running from the building on Tuesday afternoon after a loud blow noise was heard. He also noted smoke from the same direction as the bang.

“The fire brigade was called for precaution and the patients were evacuated. It was a relief to know that there was no fire and the smoke was of wires that burned when the cables were cut, “the department added.

Due to damage to the main power cable, the generator, which serves as backup, could not be switched on.

Services at the clinic have been temporarily suspended and all vaccines have been sent to a nearby clinic for storage.

City Power is working to restore power to the clinic.
