Just drove to my hotel at the airport in Kempton Park at 10pm after the Pirates game..
Not a SINGLE street light is on, not a single robot is working… COMPLETE DARKNESS where we are supposedly on high alert and in a state of emergency!?
What a disgrace..
but the powers at be try to convince us they are doing all they can to protect our women.. but they can’t even keep the lights on! 🤬🤬
It Felt like the running interval session.
This morning I set up to cover four campaign activities in 4 hours in 4 wards in Johannesburg with @LoloMhaga . We executed all of them in the way we planned. We focus on what is in our control.
VOTE RISE MZANSI

In my ward 101 we regularly struggle with no water for long periods. So I had Nick Benecke, an engineer specialising and with a masters in water and sewage systems explain how we get our water, why we have periods of no water and how to fix it: https://t.co/I6GWjHtRE3

FAMILY IDENTIFIES 28-YEAR-OLD R21 MURDER VICTIM
The family of 28-year-old Gracious Nkomo has positively identified her as one of the women whose body was discovered along the R21 in Kempton Park.
Nkomo was the third woman whose body was discovered in the Kempton Park area on 10 September 2026. She was found partially clothed.
She was identified today by her family at the Germiston Mortuary.
The South African Police Service continues to investigate the murder of Nkomo, as well as the other cases involving women whose bodies have been discovered in the area.
Acting National Commissioner of the SAPS, Lieutenant General Puleng Dimpane, says investigations are progressing, with a multidisciplinary team of investigators working around the clock to establish the circumstances surrounding the murders and identify those responsible.
“We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Gracious Nkomo during this extremely difficult time. Our investigators remain seized with these cases, and we will continue to pursue every available lead to ensure that those responsible for these murders are brought to justice,” says Lieutenant General Dimpane.
As Kempton Park remains under intensified policing operations, investigations into these murders remain ongoing.
I am sickened by the murders of women in Ekurhuleni. I know I enter this conversation as a man, amid too much defensiveness and toxicity but there is another way.
I hope this reflection offers some empathy, and a reminder that we cannot let fear win.
