THREAD:
I was a writer in my past life, and I possess a unique perspective coupled with a healthy level of curiosity in the current. So naturally I have a BLOG and will be sharing links on Elon Musk's twitter with each update.

I went to Sfiso’s profile because of Stars and Vows and read through the thread on his pinned tweet for the first time since he tweeted it back then. It still hits hard. And I’m ngl, Tibz’s abuse of Tshepi is a large part of why I wasn’t particularly moved when he died.
Good Morning Mr Robert Marawa,
We value all the feedback, however is very important to educate our community.
The mandate of the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) is regulated by the South African Police Service Amendment Act 83 of 1998. In terms of this legislation, JMPD operates under three core mandates, commonly referred to as the “Tri-Band” functions: crime prevention, traffic law enforcement, and by-law enforcement.
To effectively fulfil these responsibilities, various specialized units have been established within the JMPD structure.
When you see a roadblock focused on drinking and driving, this falls squarely within our traffic law enforcement mandate. These operations form part of our broader crime prevention strategy, as preventing intoxicated driving directly reduces road fatalities and associated criminal conduct.
You have also raised concerns regarding Cash-In-Transit (CIT) robberies, which are indeed classified as serious crimes. The primary responsibility for combating such crimes rests with the South African Police Service (SAPS). However, JMPD roadblocks, stop-and-search operations, and visible policing initiatives play a supportive and preventative role in deterring such criminal activities.
Should you or any member of the public have evidence or a firm belief that any of our JMPD officer has engaged in misconduct, including extortion or corruption, we strongly encourage that such matters be formally reported. The following channels are available:
• JMPD Law Enforcement: 011 375 5918 • JMPD WhatsApp Hotline: 075 349 0815 • JMPD Anti-Corruption Hotline: 0800 203 712 • City Anti-Corruption Hotline: 0800 002 587 • Internal Affairs WhatsApp: 063 253 1928
Lastly, In terms of Section 34 of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act (PRECCA), all persons in positions of authority are legally obligated to report suspected corruption, fraud, extortion, or criminal conduct.
We encourage constructive engagement and the responsible reporting of wrongdoing. While accountability remains essential, it is equally important to recognize and support law enforcement officers who are carrying out their lawful duties in service of public safety.
Thank you

It is regrettable that the United States of America, which is a founding member of the G20 and which takes over the Presidency of the G20 from South Africa in 2026, chose not to participate in the G20 Leaders’ Summit and the final meetings leading up to it. https://t.co/dBxGpm8Zko
