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…
A 49-year-old Zimbabwean national was arrested in the Moletlane policing area, Limpopo, after police intercepted a truck transporting illicit tobacco worth an estimated R1.5 million.
The operation was carried out by the Provincial Tracking Team, assisted by Tshimollo Security and Investigations, following intelligence about a white Nissan truck travelling from Zimbabwe to Gauteng.
The vehicle was stopped on the R518 road, where officers discovered 333 master boxes of Hookar tobacco.
Further investigations revealed that the suspect was in South Africa illegally.
Police seized the truck, valued at R800,000, along with the illicit tobacco, bringing the total value of the confiscated items to R2.3 million.
The suspect is expected to appear in the Zebediela Periodical Court on 8 June 2026 on charges relating to the Customs and Excise Act and the Immigration Act.

I highly recommend it. I don’t know how to explain it but familiarise yourself with the things you aspire to have one day & you will realise after they give you more information that actually one day you can be able to attain it. Visit the estate you aspire to live in, etc…
Most of the 300 repatriated Ghanaians were found to have overstayed. Border Management Authority (BMA) Commissioner, Dr Mike Masiapato, said most of the Ghanaians repatriated from South Africa had overstayed and had been declared undesirable in terms of the Immigration Act.

EXCLUSIVE LEADS:
Sources say, the son of one of the victims who died, handed himself to authorities yesterday in connection with an attempted murder in Rustenburg recently.
The possibility that the one victim's killing is linked to alleged turf wars and extortion hasn't been ruled out. It's not clear how the popular DJ who died was linked.
The PKTT was also looking into one of the accused who died.
