@DavidWard126 Heads need to roll with JW & CP. Zero standards zero accountability!

[Michelle Phillips @cmp026]

@CityPowerJhb First it was an explosion somewhere. Now a tiny hole somewhere. How does this affect such a large area of customers without power?

[Michelle Phillips @cmp026]

@CityPowerJhb You call it maintenance!

[Michelle Phillips @cmp026]

@CityPowerJhb What's taking so long? Who performed the "maintenance" Thursday? Why did it take over 24hrs for investigation?

[Michelle Phillips @cmp026]

@THEDEVCHEV Still off Boskruin Ext16&18. We had an extended outage on Thursday too. What "maintenance"/mess up was done?

[Michelle Phillips @cmp026]

@CityPowerJhb What about Boskruin & surrounding areas? It's concerning that you can't give is real comprehensive answers.

[Michelle Phillips @cmp026]

@Eskom_SA Are you aware that CP shut us off on Thursday for an extended period for "maintenance" & yesterday since 14h30 with no real answers to our questions

[Michelle Phillips @cmp026]

@OUTASA Please explain why a wide area of Joburg is experiencing extended power outages.

[Michelle Phillips @cmp026]

@CityPowerJhb You can't keep switching us off because you have not paid our fees to eskom

Black privilege is real and not every Black person can see it, but some of us do see it, along with its beneficiaries.
Cyril Ramaphosa — built significant wealth through BEE-linked stakes in mining (e.g., Shanduka Group) and other sectors before entering full-time politics.

[Michelle Phillips @cmp026]

@CityPowerJhb Stop with your stupid messages and rather give us updates

[Michelle Phillips @cmp026]

@THEDEVCHEV and again today no power since 14h30

[Michelle Phillips @cmp026]

@CityPowerJhb @GeorgeD02964031 Catch a wake up now, Boskruin is without power again! Or do you not know what the problem is?

Warrant Officer Karl Sander (sometimes spelled Sanders), a dedicated KwaZulu-Natal Hawks narcotics veteran with over 40 years of service, testified at the ongoing Madlanga Commission. He described how his personal coffee machine, the one thing he called his "only safe space" during exhausting, dangerous shifts fighting drug syndicates, was brazenly stolen from right inside the Hawks' own Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) offices.

Instead of launching a proper investigation into the theft or supporting one of their own officers, senior management (including a General Senona) treated him as the prime suspect. They subjected this loyal officer to a humiliating polygraph test over the theft of his own damn coffee machine. He even laughed bitterly on the stand while recounting it, saying he "just wanted it back."

This wasn't some isolated prank. It happened against the backdrop of major drug theft scandals in the Hawks, including the 2021 disappearance of 541kg of cocaine (worth around R200 million) from a Port Shepstone exhibit room; cases where honest officers like Sander have been sidelined, transferred, denied promotions, and harassed for actually doing their jobs against the cartels.

South Africans, fed up with the endless corruption and dysfunction, exploded in support. A BackaBuddy campaign launched by Durban paramedic Kyle van Reenen with a humble R5,000 goal has now smashed through R350,000+ (and still climbing) from thousands of donors.

People are calling it a rare feel-good moment in a country drowning in crime and betrayal.

Sander has said he’ll buy a new coffee machine and use the surplus to fund narcotics detection dogs for harbor operations, turning public outrage into something practical.

But let's be real. This story shouldn't even exist. In a functioning country, a veteran anti-drug officer shouldn't have to rely on public crowdfunding because the very institution meant to fight crime can't stop its own people from stealing a damn coffee machine, or worse, turns on the honest ones.

This is the ANC's South Africa in 2026. Institutions hollowed out by cadre deployment, protection of criminals, and persecution of those who refuse to play along. The Hawks, supposedly the elite unit, are a circus of theft, suspicion, and incompetence.

One decent officer gets a rare win from the public, but it doesn't fix the broken system that's destroying this country.

This corruption is not an isolated incident -it has become deeply entrenched in certain policing and law enforcement environments, particularly in parts of Johannesburg.

Allegations of officers extorting money from foreign nationals, undocumented migrants, street traders and vulnerable communities continue to surface with alarming regularity.

Areas such as Diepsloot, Johannesburg CBD, and Hillbrow are repeatedly mentioned in complaints involving bribery, intimidation and unlawful confiscation of goods or cash.

Many victims are often too afraid to open cases because they fear deportation, harassment or retaliation.

That silence allows corrupt officials and criminal syndicates to continue operating unchecked.

The reality is that corruption at street level destroys public trust in the police and undermines legitimate crime-fighting efforts.

Communities already battling violent crime, drugs, hijackings and illegal firearms are left vulnerable when some officers abuse their authority for personal gain instead of protecting residents.

The key question is: why do the same hotspots keep appearing in corruption allegations year after year without visible long-term intervention?

How many honest officers are being undermined by corrupt colleagues?

And how many victims -particularly foreigners and undocumented individuals are suffering in silence because they believe nobody will protect them if they speak out?

WATCH: this took place near Diepsloot, JHB.

@Mufasa0062 There's a senior ranked Indian fella in the Emmarentia area that prays on unsuspecting drivers follows them to the atm to draw money & drives in such a manner that his number plate can't be read.
