Again, we say goodbye to another legend today at 66 🕊️🎙️
One of the most recognizable voices in dubbing has gone silent.
Veteran voice actor Ettore Zuim has passed away at 66, leaving behind more than four decades of work across animation, anime, movies, television and video games.
For Disney fans, he became especially memorable as the Brazilian Portuguese voice of Hercules in the 1997 animated classic and David Kawena in Lilo & Stitch. DC fans also knew him as Bruce Wayne / Batman, dubbing Christian Bale throughout The Dark Knight trilogy and portraying the character in games including Batman: Arkham Origins, Arkham Knight and Injustice: Gods Among Us.
His incredible list of characters also included:
• Hercules — Hercules
• Bruce Wayne / Batman — The Dark Knight Trilogy / Batman: Arkham / Injustice

From Disney and DC to One Piece, Frieren, Shrek and gaming, Ettore Zuim helped make characters from around the world feel at home to generations of Portuguese-speaking fans.
Rest in peace, Ettore Zuim. The characters will remain, and so will the voice that made so many of them unforgettable. 🕯️
It’s disingenuous to say it was “just kids having fun”. What most of the footage from Spring Day showed was violence, destruction of property, dehumanising acts of humiliation, bullying, absolute disrespect and ZERO fun.
The people splashing water were mostly dry themselves.
They beat up a man defending himself against their water attack. It is now not just water.
If he retaliates, the headlines will make it sound like his actions were only because of water.
Like they are doing with that Cullinan broer.
Drone operation leads to arrest of five smash-and-grab suspects:
An intelligence-led joint operation by the City’s Law Enforcement and Metro Police, SAPS and investigators has resulted in the arrest of five suspects linked to multiple smash-and-grab incidents in Elsies River.
CCTV footage and intelligence were used to identify the suspects, while the City’s drone team provided real-time aerial surveillance during the operation. When one suspect fled, the drone tracked him and guided officers on the ground during a 20-minute foot pursuit.
The successful arrests highlight the impact of intelligence-led policing, inter-agency cooperation and technology in tackling crime.

HELP POLICE FIND MISSING MPHO PRECIOUS MPONYA
Sasolburg detectives are requesting public assistance in locating 20-year-old Mpho Precious Mponya from Sasolburg.
It is alleged by Mpho’s mother that on Monday, 31 August 2026, at about 04:10, she left her residence, leaving her two daughters, aged 19 and 17, asleep.
Upon her return at about 12:30, she discovered that her 20-year-old daughter, Mpho, was not at home. Her 17-year-old daughter informed her that Mpho had left with a friend.
The friend allegedly informed the family that Mpho had taken a taxi to Vereeniging. Efforts to establish Mpho’s whereabouts have so far been unsuccessful.
Mpho is reportedly mentally unstable. She was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, black jeans and black takkies.
Anyone who may have information regarding Mpho’s whereabouts is urged to contact Detective Sergeant Tauru Majoe on 071 094 0570 or CrimeStop on 08600 10111. Alternatively, an anonymous tip-off can be submitted via the MySAPSApp.

The outcome of spring day resulted in two of our buses out of operation effect from today. Our kids and community went overboard and damaged assets that serves them leaving over 300 passengers today of which many are pupils/students.
Remember that woman who worked for both the Home Affairs and against Home Affairs by serving on the advisory board while at the same time representing a client (Chidimma) who is taking Home Affairs to court? Remember her? Well it turns out she's not the only issue we may have on that Home Affairs advisory board.
Serving on that same board, is the deputy chairperson of that board Mr. Andreas Krensel, who was born and raised in Germany. Let this sink in. We have a German in our immigration affairs. Thanks to the DA.
Then there's Mr. James Chapman. And this one I have a serious problem with. Because he has worked in the NGO space. The same NGOs that challenge our governments and prevent and interrupt our governance. He has worked for Scalabrini Centre of Cape Town which had legal campaigns to challenge our regulations to protect foreigners.
These are the people that the DA Minister Leon Schreiber has brought into our Home Affairs. Just imagine. He brought in a legal practitioner who is also working with clients that challenge the same Home affairs she's working for. He brought in a German to come and decide our immigration fate. And he has brought in someone from the NGO space with a history of challenging us on immigration on behalf of foreigners. Do you guys see the inside job that the DA is doing? They are deliberately infiltrating our immigration systems.
