This kind of fraud is not new, or unique.
But the fact that it’s been normalised in a country where road crashes claim so many lives is sickening.
How many drivers with PrDPs are not medically fit to be on the road, let alone entrusted with others’ lives or dangerous goods?
Dr Ashok Chandika, an occupational medical practitioner, explains the risks.
A man threatens to murder women who apparently rejected his advances, suggesting his wealth will protect him.
With @SAPoliceService renewing its commitment to tackling GBV after the discovery of murdered women in Ekurhuleni, this will test how serious that commitment really is.
BREAKING NEWS🚨
Intimidation Case Opened After Alleged Threats At Sandton Restaurant
Police are investigating a case of intimidation after a man allegedly threatened a woman and her companions at Vlamo Restaurant in Sandton Gate on Thursday, 18 September 2026, at about 20:15.
The woman was attending a private birthday dinner when the man approached the group and offered to take photographs. After they declined, he allegedly demanded her phone number.
When she asked him to leave them alone, the man allegedly became abusive and threatened to shoot and k*ll her, including threatening to put “a b*llet” in her. He also allegedly claimed he was wealthy, owned the restaurant and would not face consequences.
Restaurant staff removed him from the powder-room area. A companion later apologised to the woman and allegedly urged her not to escalate the matter, claiming the man was “well-connected”.
The restaurant owner reviewed video footage of the incident and had the man removed from the premises. No firearm was seen and no injuries were reported.
A video of the confrontation went viral on Saturday. Vlamo said the man is neither the owner nor an employee of the restaurant, and confirmed that a case had been opened. The restaurant also said visible security measures would be increased.
Police confirmed that the investigation is continuing.
I fully support the immediate deportation of this dangerous person.
We have our own internal challenges. We cannot afford to have foreign predators among us. @MikaNgobeni

MEDIA STATEMENT
Issued 20 September 2026
CIDB DIRECTED TO INVESTIGATE GRADING ALLOCATIONS OF MORIAL
INFRASTRUCTURE GROUP
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, @DeanMacpherson , has noted with concern the allegations that Morial Infrastructure Group obtained multiple gradings from the Construction Industry Development Board (@cidb_sa ) all on the same day.
Further allegations suggest that the company may not have met the requirements for these gradings, which may subsequently have been used to secure contracts from various spheres of government.
The Minister has therefore directed the CIDB to immediately investigate the matter and report back to him at the earliest opportunity.

You guys are crying about Zimbabweans getting tenders. Wait until you find out about the elite Malawians working with your comrades on those school-building tenders. You haven’t even scratched the surface.
So Mr Untouchable did not even have the requirements for that R72 million rand tender.
I need Madlanga to investigate SANRAL, Dept of Transport, Supply Chain Units and the Board!
Does Palesa Thembeka Matlala know that she's a director to a multimillion Rand company and if yes then why is Palesa still working as a cashier at Boxer earning R7k p/m? @Dotransport@SANRAL_za@SAPoliceService
Whilst he is yet to be arrested, these streets are at an advanced stage with open source - intelligence in real time.

Big ups to everyone who pulled up & said Makunywe Once & went straight to the pocket!
