@Lwanda_ When I still has medical aid I discovered the best swift service you can get at a private hospital is through your GP. When there is an emergency,call them,they drop everything.
NERSA ADMITS R54BN ELECTRICITY MISTAKE
South Africa’s energy regulator, Nersa, has apologised for a R54-billion miscalculation in electricity tariffs, which will push power prices higher than planned.
The error, described as a “data input mistake,” was detected by Eskom but went uncorrected for months. As a result, tariffs will now rise by 8.76% instead of 5.36% next year, and 8.83% instead of 6.19% the following year.
Since 2008, electricity costs have already risen eightfold, burdening households and industries.

CRL chair says those claiming to speak to God should see a psychiatrist
Thoko Mkhwanazi-Xaluva, Chairperson of the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities (CRL Rights Commission), has sparked widespread debate following her recent comments suggesting that individuals who claim to have heard from God should be referred to psychiatric care.
In a statement that has since been widely circulated on social media, Mkhwanazi-Xaluva remarked, “If someone says God was talking to me, tell them to go to the psychiatric ward.” This assertion has drawn sharp criticism from various religious groups and individuals who view it as an attack on spiritual beliefs and practices.
The South African Church Defenders (SACD) have expressed their concern, labeling the statement as a “dangerous denial of spiritual reality.” They argue that such remarks undermine the legitimacy of personal religious experiences and could marginalize individuals who find solace in their faith.
Conversely, Mkhwanazi-Xaluva has defended her position, emphasizing the need for regulation within the religious sector to prevent exploitation and abuse. She has previously advocated for the vetting of religious leaders, including pastors and traditional healers, to ensure they adhere to ethical standards and do not exploit vulnerable individuals.
The controversy highlights the ongoing tension between religious freedom and the regulation of religious practices in South Africa. While the CRL Rights Commission aims to protect individuals from potential harm, critics argue that such measures may infringe upon the constitutional right to freedom of religion.
[BEWARE OF ILLEGITIMATE AND/OR UNVERIFIED ’OPPORTUNITIES’ TARGETING YOUNG WOMEN]
The video clip circulated by a social media influencer, which purports to promote a 2-year long ‘START PROGRAM’ targeting young women in acquiring professional skills and commencing their careers, is currently under investigation.
Notably, the author of the post has since removed the promotional video from her social media platforms.
WOMAN TO WOMAN: moisturize your hands, text your best friend first, eat fruit before sweets, delete photos that drain you, listen to music while you clean, take yourself on a solo lunch date, try a new hairstyle, stop explaining your “no,” and buy the pen that makes you want to write.
[COPS MOONLIGHTING AS TAXI BOSSES WILL BE PROSECUTED]
We received complaints and allegations that certain police officials are involved in the taxi industry and that they and their spouses/partners are operating taxis.
Police officials, as custodians responsible for the enforcement of the National Land Transport Act (NLTA), cannot be involved in the “taxi industry”.
Based on the provisions of section 13 of the NLTA, no police official, his or her spouse are allowed to own taxis. Police officers and their spouses therefore commit an offence should they own taxis or otherwise are involved in the public transport industry.
They also contravene the National Instruction 18 of 2019: Integrity Management in the South African Police Service. All police officials are well aware of this national instruction and are sensitised on a frequent basis of integrity management.
If any police official is found to be involved in a prohibited industry, such as the transport or security sector, a disciplinary investigation must be initiated for the purpose of remedial steps.
Where there are allegations, suspicions or complaints that police officers (or their spouse, partners and/or immediate family) are involved in the public transport industry and there is sufficient information available, line managers/commanders must immediately institute internal disciplinary processes and where applicable also register criminal case dockets.
[DECISIVE ACTION- TAXI VIOLENCE TASK TEAMS]
Taxi association patrollers have no legal authority to pull over, impound or fine ‘private’ vehicles because they have passengers, or for any other reason(s).
Law enforcement agencies retain sole authority to pull over all motorists and if needs be, impound or issue fines for any Road Traffic Act violations.
Taxi association members are strongly warned against engaging in illegal activities, including pulling over, holding hostage, and financially extorting ‘fining’ private vehicles.
Law enforcement agencies are called upon, as per their constitutional mandate and duty obligation, to maintain the rule of law and order, and to provide a specialised response to violent situations, if required - and ACT DECISIVELY against those committing these criminal offences.
