The Indian pilot who was stabbed by his co-pilot on a Flydubai flight to Israel has described how he struggled to open the cockpit door while being attacked.
Captain Smit Machchhar held a video call with Indian PM Narendra Modi, who called him a hero.
Wicknell Chivayo allegedly played a key role in rigging of elections in Zimbabwe 2023, Namibia 2024 ,Zambia 2026 and Tanzania 2025 which led to thousands losing their lives as a result of elections rigging. Do you think it was a coincidence he was always visiting Kenya/Ruto every month at statehouse?
[WATCH] “Go tla siama. Go boima mara go tla loka,” said Shadrack Sibiya after an entire day in the dock.
“Everything will be okay. It’s tough but all shall be well,” he told EWN in Setswana. @JusstAlpha
Lulu married in March 2025. Tragically, the lobola money was stolen from her father, who passed away three months after the incident. Now, she too has passed away. It is as if she entered Chivayo’s life only to accompany him to the great beyond while sparing Sonja to remain behind & look after Chivayo’s young children. Do not envy wealth and a “soft life”, instead, be grateful for who you are…. #RIPChivayos 🙏🏽
We almost had Senzo Mchunu as President, Sibiya as National Police Commissioner and Andrea Johnson as NPA head.
I know we currently have horrible characters like Khusela Diko, Kenny Kunene and Gayton McKenzie in the government/legislation structures, but this would have been the death of SOUTH AFRICA.
JUST IN: 🇦🇪🇮🇳 Flydubai pilot who was stabbed by his "terrorist" co-pilot as he tried to take control of the plane bound for Israel identified as Indian national Smit Machchhar.
The commission showed a photograph and video of Joe Sibanyoni with President Cyril Ramaphosa and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe. https://t.co/DY1cXBb5Pm
This story makes no sense.
Mr. M, the father of the 16 year old, allegedly received a video of her daughter masturbating and he opted to complain to Sibiya about it and shared it with him, but never confronted his daughter?
Sibiya also claims the 16 year old shared more videos of herself with him so he can investigate. Investigate what?
Sibiya thinks that we’re all from Rustenburg.
Cat Matlala didn't hire inkabi. He recruited okes from task force and spent R1.2 mill per month on them and they got the job done. Did you see how clean they took out dj sumbody ???
People don’t understand this 30%. Even in the mining industry we face this. The mining charter talks about the 30% but it’s broken down into CSI, procurement, recruitment etc. Extortionists just want 30% of YOUR WHOLE contract while doing fuck all and use the 30% rule.
[WATCH] "Ntuli and the court are listening to this and taking notes. Come the Delmas matter, I'm incriminated. I'm getting sentenced...” Taxi boss Joe Sibanyoni says he will blame Chief Evidence leader Matthew Chaskalson if he is found guilty in court in the Moloto Road case, as the #MadlangaCommission unpacks the matter further.
This story has caused so much havoc that your favourite Ekurhuleni politicians are planning things about me.
They know what I have and the information I have, they tried threatening me and failed.
Their own friends even alert me before they plan something. General Mkhwanazi was right. I’ll leave it here.
DNA BREAKTHROUGH LEADS TO ARREST OF SUSPECT LINKED TO MULTIPLE RAPE CASES
The South African Police Service (SAPS) in North West has arrested a suspect believed to be connected to multiple rape cases following an intensive multidisciplinary investigation involving the Investigative Psychology Unit (IPU), Mmabatho Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit, and the Provincial Serial and Electronic Crime Investigation (SECI) Unit.
The suspect, aged 38, was apprehended in Vryburg on Wednesday, 23 September 2026, after a thorough investigation that included forensic analysis. The suspect was positively linked through DNA evidence to the cases under investigation.
The investigation was driven by collaboration among the specialised units, which worked together to analyse available evidence, establish connections between cases, and identify the suspect.
In 2012, the victim, then 24 years old, was at a local tavern in Kanana. On her way home, she was approached by an unknown man who dragged her with her clothes to an open space at Vaalpark. He assaulted and raped her.
In 2016, a 16-year-old victim, a minor at the time, claimed she was with her friend when they met an unknown person outside the tavern. He asked her and her friend to accompany him to an ATM.
As it started raining, the suspect broke into a house and forcefully raped her in front of her friend. He chased the friend away and took the victim to a second house to rape her again.
In 2022, the victim, then 20, reported that she was at a local tavern in Huhudi when she received a phone call from her father. She went outside to answer her phone. While she was responding, someone grabbed her phone and ran. She followed the suspect, who took her phone. During the chase, she encountered an unknown man who asked what she was doing in the dark. The suspect took her to a graveside where he raped her.
The suspect is also linked to a 2016 rape case in Meadowlands.
38-year-old Joseph Mokgwetsi, also known as Papi, appeared before the Atamelang Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 25 September 2026, to face charges related to the linked cases. He was remanded in custody until his second court appearance before the same court on Monday, 05 October 2026, for a bail application.
The North West Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Arthur Adams, praised the arrest and commended the multidisciplinary team for their dedication and persistence in pursuing cases of Gender Based Violence and Sexual Offences.
Lieutenant General Adams said the successful DNA linkage demonstrates the importance of specialised investigative capabilities and collaboration between units in strengthening investigations and ensuring that suspects are brought before the courts.
“Cases involving sexual offences require thorough, victim-centred investigations. I commend the members involved for their commitment and professionalism in pursuing all leads, which resulted in identifying and arresting the suspect. We will continue to pursue perpetrators of Gender Based Violence and ensure they face justice," said Lieutenant General Adams.
