🎈‼️🔥 Clement Manyathela says he is surprised by how solid the relationship between Khan and Julius appears to be, given what Malema told him during an interview earlier this year.
Before Colonel Sebola ended up talking about the Dollars incident, he really fought hard with his conscience. 😭 You can hear the tension for a good 3 minutes or so, where he wasn't sure whether to tell or not to tell, finally he decided to speak out. I felt sorry, sad and proud of him. His wife and kids must have said to him, if you protect these bosses of yours, you will go to prison, and they won't care about you. 😢 I think ultimately, truth will triumph over lies, and good over evil. ❤️

Madlanga Commission Hears That Transnet Employee Worked With Corrupt Officers to Facilitate R300 million Worth of Cocaine Shipment From Brazil Through Durban Harbour
The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry heard testimony that someone within Transnet worked with corrupt officers to enable access to cocaine shipped from Brazil. Hawks Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph Sebola detailed the claims while testifying about the 2021 Aeroton cocaine bust in Johannesburg.
Sebola presented screenshots of text message communications between alleged implicated individuals. The messages referred to operations at Durban harbour. More than 700 kilograms of cocaine, estimated to be worth over R300 million, were seized from a container with Scania truck parts.
Evidence leader Advocate Thabang Pooe asked Sebola about the significance of references to pier one and pier two. Pooe noted that the screenshot came from the harbour, specifically Transnet facilities. Sebola confirmed the messages indicated internal influence over berthing to facilitate container access.
This is how Siyabonga Nomvethe used to communicate with his coaches.😭
& honestly, I think this is exactly how Mbokazi is communicating with his coaches in Chicago right now—with Puso acting as the translator.😂😂
No small talk. No complicated English. Just football. ❤❤🔥
Colonel Sebola: Commissioners, things are happening, things have been happening. At some point I was deployed at OR Tambo. We confiscated dollars, we were instructed to take them back to the owner. We took the dollars to the Reserve Bank as per procedure, they declared them as something else other than dollars. We were instructed to take them back to the owner.
Protect this man! 😭 He spoke after a very long pause, and says there's more such cases. This Commission must not be closed. We must demand that the money be found.

Whoever is advising the President is doing him a very HUGE disservice ‼️
The President needs to go back to the drawing board and understand how most of the things he is suggesting won’t even work! He needs to practically take time and go to home affairs, BMA, the border, refugee centres etc and understand the problem before he can even try and provide solutions. The President needs to take time and UNDERSTAND the problem or he will always fall short.
I’m disappointed that he continues to think this is a political and tribal issue…
Yesterday at Cartrack's head office in Rosebank, a woman named Gcina Dhladhla passed away after reportedly informing management last week that she was unwell. Instead of being supported, she was issued with a warning for being absent from work and was called into meetings regarding her attendance.
On Friday morning, Gcina went to work after being threatened with dismissal if she did not report for duty. At around 8:30am, she went to the bathroom. After being inside for an unusually long time, her team leader went to check on her. When there was no response, security was called to open the door.
Gcina was found unconscious on the bathroom floor. She had removed her clothing because she was feeling extremely hot. She remained on the floor for a prolonged period while assistance was being arranged. CPR was attempted by individuals who were not trained first aid responders, and it was only later realised that an ambulance had not yet been called.
Supervisors managed the situation, A manager went to Netcare in person to request an ambulance. By this stage, Gcina's body had become cold, her hands and feet had turned purple, and she had begun bleeding from the nose.
An ambulance only arrived after 11:00am, following intervention from her family, who instructed the company to call emergency services. When paramedics arrived, Gcina had already passed away. Employees from the Debtors Department were then instructed to vacate the building.
Gcina had previously complained about the way she was treated by team leaders. Her family, colleagues and the public deserve answers about the circumstances surrounding her death.
