HAWKS REQUEST PUBLIC ASSISTANCE IN LOCATING A WANTED PERSON
The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) is appealing to members of the public for assistance in locating Buntu Ndevu (40), who is wanted in connection with the enforcement of a court order and an outstanding warrant of arrest.
On 31 August 2021, Ndevu was convicted on six counts of fraud by the KuGompo Regional Court. He was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment, wholly suspended on condition that he did not commit any further offence involving fraud during the period of suspension.
In addition, the court ordered him to repay identified victims a total of R610 000.
Ndevu failed to comply with the conditions of his suspended sentence, including repaying the victims.
As a result, a warrant for his arrest was issued on 29 April 2022.
He was subsequently traced and arrested in Cape Town during 2024.
After appearing in court, he indicated his intention to comply with the original sentencing conditions. However, he again failed to comply with the court’s order, resulting in a further warrant of arrest being issued on 31 March 2025.
The DPCI urges anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Buntu Ndevu to come forward and assist law enforcement authorities.
All information received will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.
Members of the public with relevant information are requested to contact Colonel Raymond Buys on 082 301 1135.
The cooperation of the public remains vital in ensuring that justice is served and that individuals who fail to comply with lawful court orders are held accountable.

I would love to be a trainer at this gym so I can beat up those idiots that think you can spot-burn fat with tires. They deserve all the beatings that are descending on them plus the laughter that concludes it all.
Had a tough meeting so Dr Joseph is cheering me up with his new dog. I don’t like dogs but my mood is lifted by seeing him happy over it.
Thanks @joebromed 🔥🔥🔥
Max Fleischer's trippy version of "Snow White" from 1933 remains a fascinating and bizarre piece of animation history. In this short Betty Boop cartoon, Fleischer and his team condensed and twisted the classic Snow White tale, taking viewers on a surreal journey that defies expectations.
One of the standout moments in the cartoon is the inclusion of Cab Calloway, a renowned jazz singer of the time. In the middle of the animated film, Calloway appears and performs the hauntingly beautiful "St. James Infirmary Blues." The scene is a rare live-action segment, originally from another cartoon of the era titled "Minnie the Moocher," which was another iconic song associated with Calloway.
Interestingly, the footage and music used in the beginning of "Minnie the Moocher" are clearly the same recording as the song "St. James Infirmary Blues" featured in the Betty Boop cartoon. In a clever editing move, the two pieces of audio are seamlessly joined together, creating a seamless transition between the two cartoons.
Calloway's appearance in the cartoon is truly mesmerizing. He begins by singing the tune as Koko the Clown, a character created by Fleischer, and then undergoes a transformation into a ghostly figure. The animation beautifully captures Calloway's distinctive enunciation and signature dance moves, accompanied by a barrage of wild and imaginative visuals.
In addition to the captivating animation, the cartoon also incorporates scenes from the 1980 film "The Blues Brothers," in which Cab Calloway once again performs "Minnie the Moocher." This inclusion adds an extra layer of intertextuality, as viewers are introduced to Calloway through this iconic performance.
"Betty Boop in Snow White" is a testament to Max Fleischer's creativity and willingness to push the boundaries of animation. The cartoon showcases his unique vision and knack for blending different artistic mediums, resulting in a truly trippy and memorable viewing experience.
Directed by Dave Fleischer and animated by Roland C. Crandall, the cartoon exemplifies the Fleischer Studio's distinctive style, characterized by fluid animation, vibrant colors, and a surreal atmosphere. Their innovative techniques and bold storytelling continue to inspire animators and artists to this day.
Despite being a departure from the traditional Snow White narrative, Max Fleischer's version remains a remarkable piece of animation history. It stands as a testament to the power of imagination and creativity in bringing beloved stories to life in new and unexpected ways.
