URGENT WARNING:
408 GASTROINTESTINAL ILLNESS CASES IN TSHWANE -CONTAMINATED WATER LINKED TO OUTBREAK
Authorities have linked 408 cases of gastrointestinal illness reported between 7 and 18 October 2026 to contaminated water supplied by the City of Tshwane’s Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Works.
📍 Affected areas: Zithobeni, Bronkhorstspruit, Dark City, Rethabiseng and Sokhulumi.
🔴 Most patients are children under four years old. No deaths have been reported.
🔴 Laboratory tests detected Norovirus, Campylobacter and Shigella in patient samples. No cholera bacteria were found in the stool samples tested.
🔴 Water tests revealed extremely high levels of E. coli and total coliforms.
🔴 Investigators found that the treatment plant’s water was not chlorinated between 24 September and 14 October because of problems with the chlorine supplier. The water source is also affected by sewage pollution.
🔴 The City of Tshwane closed the plant on 14 October, restored chlorine supplies and reopened it on 16 October, but the water remains unsafe for drinking.
🚱 URGENT WARNING TO RESIDENTS
Until further notice, residents in areas supplied by the plant must NOT use tap water for drinking, cooking, bathing, brushing teeth, washing food or clothes -even after boiling. Tap water may only be used for flushing toilets.
The City is supplying safe drinking water through tankers, with 36 tankers planned in total. Residents should collect water from these tankers and store it in clean, covered containers.
The Water Research Commission is conducting independent tests, with initial results expected from Wednesday. An investigation into the causes of the contamination is due by 28 October.
Authorities have initiated accountability measures, while health teams continue monitoring cases and educating communities.
The warning remains in force until authorities confirm that the water is safe.

For millions of pensioners, the #SASSA grant is a lifeline, but some recently discovered that before the money hit their bank accounts, deductions for funeral policies were made.
Policies, which they claim they didn't sign up for.
A story of confusion, gaps in memory and agents using deceptive sales tactics.

WATCH:
Motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution after reports of rock throwing on the N12 eastbound between the Gillooly’s (George Bizos) Interchange and the Germiston off-ramp.
The incident poses a serious danger to road users. If you’re travelling in the area, remain alert, reduce your speed and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
N12 REOPENED FOLLOWING TANKER INCIDENT
The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) is pleased to inform motorists that the N12 Freeway in Bassonia has been officially reopened to traffic in both directions.
Following the fatal collision and subsequent gas tanker fire that occurred yesterday, April 19, 2026, emergency teams have successfully completed the high-risk decanting process and the necessary mop-up operations.
The roadway has been declared safe for public use, and all previously active diversions at the R59 Reading Interchange and Comaro Road have been lifted.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the dedicated teams who worked tirelessly under hazardous conditions to secure the scene.
We also thank the public and the residents of the Southern Suburbs for their extreme patience and cooperation while these essential operations were carried out.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. I am 28. I currently work as a security guard in Qatar. Every morning I put on my uniform and think about the version of me that graduated thinking the world was waiting. Nobody tells you that sometimes the world is not waiting. You just have to keep showing up anyway.

#RandhillsAcademy#Germiston - another illegal private school flagged!
Doubts crop up when Grade 11 learners discover that their results weren't recognized because the school doesn't have the green light to admit and teach Grade 10/11/12.
We visit the school and experience nothing short of a 🎪 🤡🎪 while owner #TenywaSouleiman pulls a Houdini 🪄
See you on Sunday.
