#sapsGP [TEN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION OF PRECIOUS METALS AND FIREARMS]
Ten alleged illegal immigrants were arrested for possession of precious metals, firearms and ammunition on 07 June 2026 at Khutsong and Carletonville following an intelligence driven operation.
The team consisting of Gauteng Crime Intelligence, West Rand District Task Team, Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) and Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department operationalised intelligence information which led them to an address in Khutsong where they arrested three men suspected to be illegal immigrants. One of them had an unlicensed 9mm firearm with ammunition.
The suspects led the team to another address in Carletonville believed to be of the kingpin. On arrival at the second address, they found seven men including the alleged Kingpin who was also found in possession of an unlicensed firearm with ammunition and precious metals. All ten suspects will be charged with contravention of the immigration Act and will be verified by the Department of Home Affairs. While the other two will face additional charges of possession of unlicensed firearms and possession of precious metals and are expected to appear before court on 09 June 2026. #GunsOffTheStreets #IllegalMining ML

The first Africans to compete in the Olympic Games were two South Africans, Jan Mashiane and Len Taunyane, who competed in the Marathon at the 1904 St. Louis Olympics. Their participation in the infamous 1904 St. Louis Olympic Marathon is one of the most fascinating and bizarre chapters in sports history. Neither man traveled to the United States as an official Olympic athlete. They were in Missouri as part of the Boer War Spectacle at the World's Fair, which ran concurrently with the Games. They had previously served as dispatch runners during the Anglo-Boer War. They decided to enter the marathon on a whim just before the race began. Because officials struggled with their surnames, they were listed on the program as "LenTau" and "Yamasani". Taunyane was actually on pace for a much higher finish but was chased nearly a mile off-course by a pack of aggressive, wild dogs. Despite the canine detour and brutal conditions that caused 18 out of 32 runners to drop out, both South Africans finished the race. Taunyane finished 9th and Mashiane finished 12th.

They were wanted in connection with 14 cases of armed robbery and 28 cases of sexual assault, including rape. All suspects are South African nationals, and the oldest is 13 years old.

What does the new R28.06/litre petrol price mean to you if you are travelling to work from Soweto to Pretoria every day?
โ
โThink about the math for a 140km daily round trip (over 3,000km a month):
โ๐ Last Year (R21.40/L):
๐ต Polo 7: R4,366 / month
โซ BMW 320i: R5,650 / month
โ๐ Now (R28.06/L):
๐ต Polo 7: R5,724 / month (+R1,358)
โซ BMW 320i: R7,408 / month (+R1,758)
โYou are literally paying an extra R1,300 to R1,700 every single month just to cover the exact same distance and sit idle at the N1 Midrand.
This is Camp IV on Mt Everest (~7,900 m), the highest campsite on Earth and the final stop before the summit.
What should be one of the most extraordinary places on the planet has, in many ways, become one of the ugliest faces of Everest's commercialisation. Abandoned tents, empty oxygen bottles, food cans, torn gear, and other waste are scattered across the South Col, turning the world's highest campsite into a graveyard of climbing equipment.
The mountain deserves better.
