These are the kids who were shot and killed in Philippi. Automatic rifles rounds were found next to their bodies.
There is no level of good parenting that can insulate the black youth of this country from the despair and violence of township life. It was by design.
The Madlanga Commission will tomorrow begin hearing testimony related to the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC).
The Commission is considering two applications for parts of the evidence from Witnesses N and O to be heard in camera.
Witness N is a female SAPS detective from the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) currently deployed in the Eastern Cape, while Witness O is a member of Crime Intelligence.

JUST IN:
Public Interest SA lays criminal complaint against Acting SAPS National Commissioner:
Public Interest SA has lodged a criminal complaint with the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) against Acting National Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Puleng Dimpane, alleging possible contraventions of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA).
The complaint centres on the controversial R360 million SAPS Medicare24 Tshwane contract.
Although the contract was later cancelled over procurement irregularities, about R48 million had already been paid to the service provider.
Public Interest SA argues that, as SAPS Chief Financial Officer at the time, Dimpane had statutory responsibility for financial management, internal controls and risk oversight.
The organisation alleges there are reasonable grounds to investigate whether she failed to fulfil these duties despite being aware of concerns and an ongoing internal audit.
The complaint relies on Dimpane’s sworn testimony before Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee and requests the Hawks to investigate potential breaches of several sections of the PFMA, obtain financial records, audit reports and system authorisation logs, and determine whether criminal offences were committed.
Public Interest SA stressed that lodging the complaint is not a finding of guilt, but a request for an independent investigation.
It also questioned why Dimpane has not been charged, despite 16 other accused, including suspended National Commissioner General Fannie Masemola and other senior SAPS officers already facing prosecution over the Medicare24 contract.
The organisation said the complaint is aimed at ensuring accountability, protecting public funds and upholding the rule of law, while urging the Hawks to investigate the matter without fear, favour or prejudice.
It added that further charges could be laid should additional evidence emerge.

The reason why most of these Nigerians in Cape Town are wanted by Interpol is that they leave Nigeria, go commit fraud and drug crimes in USA, UK, Asia, South America, Middle East then when they are wanted they all run to Cape Town, and change their real names. They do this coz they say living expenses in Cape Town are better than developed countries & crime intelligence is very poor here 😣💔

Limpopo Premier Dr Phophi Ramathuba has warned women in leadership positions to be cautious about allowing their younger romantic partners, commonly referred to as "Ben 10s", to influence their personal lives and leadership decisions.
Speaking during the official handover of a newly built house to the family of conjoined twins in Lulekani on Wednesday, Ramathuba said the downfall of many women in leadership positions is often linked to the influence of their "Ben 10" partners.
She urged women leaders to remain focused on their responsibilities and not allow personal relationships to interfere with their decision-making or public duties.

“Adriano Mazzotti and Mo Sayed are the ones who gave the EFF money to register with the IEC and contest the 2024 general elections when me and Floyd Shivambu didn’t have money. Mazzotti comes me and said the money is paid, we’re proud of our association with him and Mo Sayed.” - Julius Malema 💔🖤💚

Fresh developments have emerged in the case against Brown Mogotsi.
His criminal matter has been postponed to 3 August after the defence was provided with video footage allegedly linked to the claimed staged shooting incident.
The State alleges the footage shows Mogotsi firing at his own vehicle in Vosloorus in November 2025 before falsely reporting that he had survived an assassination attempt.
He faces charges including perjury, defeating the ends of justice, unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, and discharging a firearm in public.
Prosecutors also rely on eyewitness testimony, CCTV footage and the alleged absence of other vehicles at the scene.
