### JUSTICE FOR THE UGANDAN NATIONAL — DEMAND FOR IMMEDIATE POLICE INVESTIGATION
The Truth and Solidarity Movement strongly condemns the reported killing of a Ugandan national in Durban.
We are deeply disturbed by allegations that an innocent Ugandan visitor, reportedly in South Africa legally as a tourist, lost his life amid anti-foreign-national hostility.
We demand that SAPS urgently investigate the circumstances of his death, identify everyone responsible, and make arrests wherever sufficient evidence exists.
We specifically call for an investigation into any alleged involvement of Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, including whether any statements, instructions or actions contributed unlawfully to the violence. If credible evidence establishes criminal responsibility, she must face arrest and prosecution in accordance with South African law.
No individual or political movement is above the law.
STOP AFRIPHOBIA! STOP XENOPHOBIA! STOP HATE! JUSTICE FOR THE UGANDAN NATIONAL!

The Truth and Solidarity Movement (TRUTH) expresses its deepest condolences and profound sorrow following the reported killing of **SAPS Administrative Officer Eunice Nortman**, attached to the Lichtenburg Crime Intelligence Gathering (CIG) unit, whose end of watch is recorded as 19 October 2026.
The loss of a member of the South African Police Service is a tragedy not only for the family and colleagues of the deceased, but for the entire nation.
**WE DEMAND JUSTICE FOR EUNICE NORTMAN!**

If criminal violence caused Officer Nortman's death, those responsible must be identified, arrested, prosecuted and held fully accountable under South African law.
We call upon the Minister of Police, SAPS national leadership and relevant investigative authorities to:
1. Conduct an urgent, independent and thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Officer Nortman's death.
2. Identify and arrest all perpetrators where evidence of criminal conduct exists.
3. Ensure that the investigation is transparent and that the family receives regular updates.
4. Strengthen protection for police officers and intelligence personnel.
5. Provide appropriate support to the bereaved family and colleagues.
### OUR MESSAGE IS CLEAR: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
South Africa cannot become a country where criminals operate without fear of accountability.
The Truth and Solidarity Movement stands firmly for the protection of innocent lives, the safety of our police officers and the restoration of law and order.
We honour the service of Officer Eunice Nortman and extend our heartfelt sympathy to her loved ones.

We caught robbers with an illegal firearm who had just robbed two residents in the streets of Tafelsig. Cape Town Metro Police are searching for illegal guns in Mitchells Plain 👮♂️👏
SAPS need their help, that’s why we will build a Cape Town Metro Police Detective Unit to ensure that we can get convictions for gun cases instead of constantly letting criminals back onto the streets. 🇿🇦
A family home deal has turned into a serious court case involving former eThekwini DA councillor Ismail Cassimjee. The State accuses Cassimjee and his co-accused, Thamothran Junior Raman, of fraud and theft linked to alleged property and vehicle scams totalling about R1.5 million. One of the cases involves Cassimjee’s sister and brother in law, who allegedly lost R612,000 in a deal to buy a house in Malvern. Prosecutors say the properties were not for sale and the accused had no authority to sell them. His sister, brother-in-law and other complainants have testified in court, while one complainant died before giving evidence.
Cassimjee took the stand in the Durban Regional Court and told the court he believed Raman had a contact who knew about properties going on auction. He said he received R15,000 per deal as a facilitator’s fee. These are serious allegations, but accusations are not proof of guilt, and the court must weigh the evidence before reaching a verdict. The case is expected to continue on 30 October, when further questioning is due. For now, the facts must speak louder than political titles, family ties or public opinion. Justice means accountability where wrongdoing is proved, and fairness until then.

Mayoral Candidate for the City of Cape Town
### THREE WOMEN KILLED — CORPORATE ACCOUNTABILITY CANNOT BE OPTIONAL
The Truth and Solidarity Movement expresses its deepest condolences to the families of three female managers reportedly murdered at a Boxer store in eShowe, KwaZulu-Natal, on Saturday, 10 October 2026.
According to reports, a former employee allegedly produced a firearm during or following an internal disciplinary process, confined the managers in an office and fatally shot them.
This horrific incident demands urgent criminal investigation, justice for the victims and a thorough examination of workplace security arrangements.
**THREE WOMEN WENT TO WORK. THREE WOMEN NEVER RETURNED HOME. THIS MUST NEVER BE TREATED AS BUSINESS AS USUAL.**
### OUR DEMANDS
**1. IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION OF BOXER'S WORKPLACE SECURITY**
We demand an independent examination of the security arrangements, emergency procedures, access controls and risk assessments at the eShowe store.
**2. NATIONWIDE BOXER SAFETY AUDIT**
We call upon the Department of Employment and Labour to conduct an urgent inspection programme across Boxer stores throughout South Africa, prioritising facilities where credible safety concerns have been identified.
**3. SUSPENSION OF OPERATIONS WHERE SERIOUS SAFETY FAILURES ARE IDENTIFIED**
We demand that authorities issue immediate prohibition notices or order temporary closures at Boxer premises where investigations establish an imminent danger to workers, as permitted by law.
Where systemic failures are established, we will call for wider operational suspensions until adequate safeguards are implemented.
**4. JUSTICE FOR THE THREE MURDERED WOMEN**
We demand that SAPS prioritise the investigation, locate the suspect and ensure that all available evidence is preserved for prosecution.
**5. ACCOUNTABILITY FROM BOXER'S NATIONAL LEADERSHIP**
Boxer's senior management must publicly explain what security measures existed at the eShowe store, whether any threats had previously been reported, and what immediate protections are being introduced for employees.
**6. SUPPORT FOR THE VICTIMS' FAMILIES**
We call for meaningful financial assistance, counselling, trauma support and appropriate compensation through all applicable legal mechanisms.
### PRESIDENTIAL DECLARATION
"South African workers are human beings, not disposable labour.
No woman should leave her home to earn an honest living and lose her life in a workplace.
Boxer's national leadership must face serious questions about employee protection. Expressions of sympathy are not enough. We demand transparent answers, independently verified safety improvements and accountability wherever negligence is established.
We will not accept commercial convenience being placed above human life.
Our message is clear: **NO SAFETY, NO BUSINESS.**"
### FINAL POSITION
The Truth and Solidarity Movement calls for urgent nationwide regulatory scrutiny of Boxer operations and lawful temporary shutdowns wherever serious and immediate threats to workers are identified.
The Movement further demands swift justice for the three murdered women and meaningful protection for employees throughout South Africa.

## WE WILL TRANSFORM SEKHUKHUNE FROM UNDERDEVELOPMENT INTO A MODERN ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE!
### NINE-STOREY HOMES, MANUFACTURING HUBS, INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THOUSANDS OF NEW JOB OPPORTUNITIES
**Issued by President MEHMET VEFA DAG**
The Truth and Solidarity Movement declares that the time has come for a complete economic and infrastructural transformation of Sekhukhune District Municipality, Limpopo.
**Our people deserve more than promises. They deserve decent housing, employment, modern infrastructure, quality education and economic dignity.**
For far too long, communities across Sekhukhune have experienced unemployment, inadequate infrastructure, housing shortages and limited industrial opportunities.
The Truth and Solidarity Movement presents an ambitious vision to change this reality.
### 1. NINE-STOREY MODERN RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS
We propose replacing unsuitable and deteriorating housing conditions with carefully planned, modern nine-storey residential developments.
Our housing programme will prioritise:
* Quality apartments for working families and low-income households.
* Affordable housing with reliable water and electricity.
* Safe playgrounds, community parks and recreational facilities.
* Ground-floor business spaces to support local entrepreneurs.
* Proper roads, sanitation, public transport and security.
* Protection of existing residents against unfair displacement.
**We want Sekhukhune families to live in dignity, not desperation.**
### 2. MANUFACTURING HUBS AND AN INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Sekhukhune must become a major manufacturing and production centre in Limpopo.
Our proposed industrial development programme will focus on:
* Textile and clothing manufacturing.
* Furniture and building-material production.
* Food processing and agricultural packaging.
* Construction-material manufacturing.
* Local mineral beneficiation and associated industries.
* Small-business factories and industrial incubation centres.
We will pursue partnerships with investors, manufacturers, development finance institutions and other spheres of government to create sustainable employment.
**Our vision is to produce more locally, manufacture more locally and create employment for local communities.**
### 3. BURGERSFORT MUST BECOME A MODERN ECONOMIC CENTRE
Burgersfort and surrounding communities must benefit directly from the region's economic potential.
We envisage modern commercial districts, nine-storey housing developments, business centres, manufacturing facilities, upgraded transport networks and public infrastructure.
Development must extend beyond Burgersfort to communities throughout Sekhukhune, including Jane Furse, Steelpoort, Groblersdal and surrounding rural settlements.
No village must be forgotten.
### 4. JOB CREATION AND YOUTH ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
We will prioritise employment opportunities through housing construction, manufacturing, agriculture, infrastructure development and small-business expansion.
Young people must have access to technical training, apprenticeships, trade schools and entrepreneurial support.
We will seek to establish vocational training facilities linked directly to the needs of local industries.
**Our message is clear: Sekhukhune's young people must become builders, engineers, technicians, manufacturers and business owners.**
### 5. AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT AND FOOD SECURITY
Sekhukhune's agricultural potential must become a foundation for economic growth.
We propose agricultural cooperatives, irrigation development, poultry production, food-processing facilities, cold-storage infrastructure and improved market access for emerging farmers.
Our objective is to connect rural agricultural producers with local manufacturing and commercial opportunities.

CAPE TOWN'S MISSING BILLIONS MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR — NO POLITICAL LEADER IS ABOVE THE LAW
**Issued by President Mehmet Vefa Dag**
The Truth and Solidarity Movement announces its commitment to pursuing a comprehensive, independent and transparent investigation into the financial management of the City of Cape Town and the Democratic Alliance's relevant financial records over the past **20 years**, through lawful oversight and investigative processes.
**THE ERA OF FINANCIAL SECRECY, POLITICAL PROTECTION AND UNACCOUNTABLE GOVERNANCE MUST COME TO AN END.**
For too long, the people of Cape Town have demanded affordable housing, employment, basic services, safer communities and responsible management of public resources.
Every rand of public money must be accounted for. Every suspicious transaction must be examined. Every credible allegation of corruption must be investigated.
1. TWENTY YEARS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY
The Truth and Solidarity Movement will pursue a thorough examination of municipal expenditure, procurement contracts, infrastructure budgets, property transactions and financial irregularities identified through independent audits.
Where public money is proven to have been unlawfully diverted, we will pursue its recovery through every available legal mechanism.
**CAPE TOWN'S PUBLIC MONEY BELONGS TO ITS PEOPLE — NOT TO POLITICAL PARTIES OR PRIVATE INTERESTS.**
2. HILL-LEWIS, HELEN ZILLE AND PATRICIA DE LILLE MUST ANSWER ACCOUNTABILITY QUESTIONS
We call for full transparency regarding relevant financial decisions taken during the administrations and political leadership associated with:
* Geordin Hill-Lewis
* Helen Zille
* Patricia de Lille
Each must be afforded the opportunity to explain relevant decisions and provide records where lawfully required.
Our demand for accountability does not presume criminal wrongdoing. Any findings must be established through credible evidence and independent legal processes.
3. JP SMITH AND MUNICIPAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OVERSIGHT
We call for rigorous, independent scrutiny of municipal law-enforcement expenditure, procurement, operational oversight and any credible allegations of misconduct involving the relevant authorities, including matters falling within JP Smith's responsibilities.
No official should enjoy immunity from legitimate investigation.
4. CRIMINAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND RECOVERY OF PUBLIC FUNDS
Where investigations establish evidence of corruption, fraud, money laundering or unlawful enrichment, the Truth and Solidarity Movement will demand that the appropriate authorities pursue prosecution, asset recovery and arrests where legally justified.
**WE DEMAND EVIDENCE, JUSTICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY — NOT POLITICAL IMPUNITY.**
5. DISMANTLING DRUG AND EXTORTION NETWORKS
Our administration will prioritise coordinated action against organised criminal networks, drug trafficking, gang violence and business extortion.
We will strengthen cooperation with SAPS, municipal law enforcement, prosecutors and community safety organisations while protecting residents and witnesses.
6. REDUCING CAPE TOWN'S HOMICIDE RATE
The Truth and Solidarity Movement commits to pursuing a **5% reduction in Cape Town's homicide rate within the first nine months** of implementing its public safety programme.
We will establish measurable crime-reduction targets, transparent reporting and accountable policing strategies.
7. A NEW STANDARD OF LEADERSHIP
South Africa deserves leadership built on integrity, courage, financial discipline and respect for the Constitution.
We will demand the same accountability from our own officials that we demand from every other political organisation.
**OUR MESSAGE IS CLEAR:**
**NO MORE FINANCIAL SECRECY.**
**NO MORE PROTECTION FOR CORRUPTION.**
**NO MORE NEGLECT OF OUR COMMUNITIES.**
**NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.**
Jacinta and Xolani Zuma registered a company on 25 September 2024, which reportedly received a government tender a year later.
Now, the critical questions are:
🔎 Was a company registered just a year earlier qualified to receive this tender?
🔎 Did it have the relevant agricultural experience required when submitting its bid?
🔎 Were the stated bid disqualification criteria properly applied?
Public funds demand transparency. Were all the tender requirements met? The public deserves answers.
