My cousin carried a baby for a wealthy couple in 2014.
They paid her well, signed everything, then ghosted her at 32 weeks. No calls. No money. Nothing.
She gave birth alone. Named the boy herself. Raised him with her two daughters. He calls her “Mummy.” He’s 11 now. Quiet, brilliant, the kind of kid who still holds your hand when he’s scared.
Last month the couple showed up at her gate with lawyers.
General Mkhwanazi made an allegation that there’s a farm owned by a taxi boss. This farm was perceived as another parliament of the country where decision are made.
Now, what the commission is investigating with taxi bosses is the truth in that. Unfortunately the owner has since died, but Sibanyoni was part of that parliament, similar to Nkosi, Cat and Sibiya, all of them have testified about their roles and participation in that parliament.
The commission is very well positioned on its mandate.

MAGAZINES
TrueLove Magazine shuts down
Iconic South African fashion, beauty and lifestyle magazine TrueLove is shutting down. After a print legacy and more than 50 years of Black excellence, the iconic magazine brand will officially be coming to an end.
The last edition of the mag is set for Jan 2027.
We need to talk more about the strip club on Rivonia Road. For far too long those in the know have referred to it as the Sandton office of Gauteng SAPS. A hotel linked to it has even housed a station commander and acting district commander; and relationships between senior police officers and Eastern European “dancers” have long been spoken about.
#ShadrackSibiya❗️
Sibiya has been moved to Kgosi Mampuru and held in detention because of threats that went out to witnesses. These threats include a voice-note that went out to a witness at 2pm today. Sibiya will appear in court for a bail application on the 29th of September 2026. A shocking charge of trafficking has been added because he has allegedly been operating within a cabal that was trafficking girls. It goes without saying that there will be more upcoming arrests as we await more details about this cabal. Dark days ahead for the ANC.
As hard as this is for witnesses, I hope they won't be deterred by these threats, and I hope that for once the @NPA_Prosecutes will do their jobs without fear or favor, and protect these witnesses. 🇿🇦
JUST IN: The state claims that they are aware of alleged attempts for the general to escape. And this is why they are calling for him to be moved to Kgosi Mampuru prison.
The legal team for the accused has asked why the he should be moved to another prison that is outside the jurisdiction of the court.
@SABCNews #GeneralArrest
Kat Matlala and his wife 😭😂 Apparently, while viewing mansions around Gauteng, Kat allegedly told the estate agent that he was a prince from Swaziland and reportedly had a fake Eswatini ID with the surname Dlamini. Then allegedly paid R1.2 million upfront for a year’s rent. 😭😭 This whole saga is wild.

@SABCNews #ShadrackSibiya
What a disgusting person this Shadrack Sibiya is:
A rapist, a GBV perpetrator, a man who threatens women and children.
This is a picture taken in his first court appearance today. Fortunately his bail has been denied so he will remain in jail for 7 more days.
