Wynberg, Cape Town:
A woman was brutally murdered with a golf club by her Malawian partner, who then locked her inside a shack with her young child in Lotus River, Cape Town. Neighbours said they heard a child crying inside the shack for a long time. When they knocked and no one answered, they realised something was wrong. They kicked the door open and found the child crying next to the woman’s body. A murder case was opened, and police searched for the suspect without success until someone recognised him in Wynberg and quickly alerted men who were nearby. The group kept him busy while waiting for SAPS.

🇿🇦 Patrice Motsepe and why you have blackouts or loadshedding
Motsepe is Ramaphosa’s brother in law
In 2009 Patrice Motsepe said electricity was too cheap and that was preventing independent power producers from entering the South African market.
16years later electricity has gone up by over 600% and Mr Motsepe owns over 50% of the independent power stations

🚨R3.6 BILLION LOOTED THROUGH ONE PHONE NUMBER AND GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO STOP IT ‼️‼️
This is not a conspiracy theory. This is what OUTA’s Wayne Duvenage just dropped at the BizNews conference.
They punched a single cellphone number into an AI system. That one number was linked to 15 different companies. Those 15 companies had already secured 48 government tenders worth a combined R3.6 billion.
One number. R3.6 billion of public money‼️‼️
Duvenage explained exactly how the technology works. It scrapes procurement data across every government department and municipal website. It analyses tender specifications, tracks shortlisted companies, follows supply history, and flags irregular patterns in minutes work that used to take months of manual digging. The system doesn’t just find the smoke. It maps the entire spiderweb.
And when they looked closer at the addresses and registered companies behind that one phone number, the web was only just beginning to show itself. It was still growing.
National Treasury has already been shown this technology they have done nothing with it ⁉️Why “Cyril Ramaphosa” you bloody criminal thug ‼️
Duvenage didn’t mince words South Africa has a strong anti-corruption strategy on paper, but it is run by a leaderless black ANC government that simply does not want to use the tools that would expose the looting. The desire political appetite to stop the theft is missing because we allow this thugs to rob us blind.
So while ordinary South Africans struggle with broken services, collapsing infrastructure and empty coffers, connected networks continue to harvest billions through the same recycled phone numbers, the same shell companies, and the same captured tender system.
AI has given civil society a weapon the state refuses to pick up. OUTA’s message is clear, if government won’t fight this, citizens and independent organisations will have to do it themselves ‼️
One phone number. R3.6 billion.
How many more numbers are still out there⁉️
