A Tswana family in North West was shocked to find 17 pills inside a 25kg bag of maize meal they bought from a Pakistan shop in their town.
They discovered the pills while trying to cook pap. Just imagine, SEVERAL children including adults were about to eat this poison.
Why is the government doing nothing about this? How many people must get sick and die before they finally act? These people need to go as a matter of national security.
From selling bread on the streets of Khayelitsha to supplying major retailers.

“Players that scored those two goals, they were laughing inside the field as if they have done something good, killing their stay in the elite league."

TVET Colleges should ALL be FREE. The argument is simple👇🏿
If an overwhelming majority of TVET college students are NSFAS eligible and funded, why does government need so many layers of funding distribution?
If government is serious about efficiency, a decision must immediately be taken to make all TVET colleges FREE.
Young people should simply walk in and register, without any financial and/or bureaucratic hurdles.
This is why community networks matter.
I received this video from one of the Boksburg community groups linked into eblockwatch.
Boksburg has something powerful: people still look out for each other. The community is tight. The WhatsApp groups are active. The local security network is strong. When something happens, people do not just watch — they respond.
According to the family, two young children had walked to the shop. On their way back, an older man allegedly stopped and made inappropriate comments toward one of the little girls.
The grandmother saw what was happening. The community reacted. And the man was quickly made to understand that this is not a place where children are left unprotected.
At first glance, some people may misunderstand the video. They may only see shouting, anger, and chaos.
But look deeper.
This is not chaos.
This is a community drawing a line.
This is what happens when neighbours still know each other. When people still care. When a child is not just “someone else’s problem.”
In many places today, people look away. They don’t want to get involved. They are scared of trouble. They wait for somebody else to act.
But in strong communities, people act together.
That is the spine of eblockwatch.
Real people.
Real relationships.
Real communities.
Connected through trusted networks.
Boksburg showed what community protection looks like.
Not perfect.
Not polished.
But present.
And sometimes presence is what keeps children safer.
