Three men aged between 30 and 32 are expected to appear at the Carolina Magistrate’s Court tomorrow, 07 September 2020, for kidnapping, assault with an intent to cause grievous bodily harm as well as murder.
The trio was arrested on 04 September 2020.
Their arrest follows an investigation by police which revealed details of an incident that took place on Friday, 14 August 2020.
On that fateful day, it is said that the three men were driving in a vehicle where they stopped upon noticing two males aged 22 and 35.
Allegations state that the two were forced by these suspects into their vehicle and were taken to a storeroom where they were severely assaulted with an iron pipe as a form of punishment for allegedly insulting their colleague.
The matter was reported to the police and the victims were taken to hospital as they sustained serious injuries.
One of the victims, related the gruesome story to the police and a case was opened but unfortunately, he later succumbed to his injuries in hospital on 01 September 2020, but the other survived.
Police conducted an investigation hence the arrest of the suspects. Preliminary investigation has since revealed that amongst the men is the manager at a local chain store as well as his assistant and a security guard.
Police in Mpumalanga are searching for a suspect who blatantly shot and killed a 27-year-old well known actress, Thandeka Mdeliswa who played in the television soapie IKANI.
Thandeka Mdeliswa
This heinous incident associated with Gender-Based-Violence, occurred on Thursday, 03 September 2020, in Evander at her home.
According to information, the victim heard a commotion between her brother and two men.
She went out to investigate the problem whereupon getting closer one of the men fatally shot her.
The two men fled the scene and police as well as medical personnel were immediately summoned, police managed to trace the suspects however, the shooter ran away hence the manhunt.
The Provincial Commissioner of the police in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant General Mondli Zuma indicated that it is despicable to learn that men continue to inflict pain on women daily.
“We cannot allow such unexplainable actions to go unpunished hence we are making a clarion call to the public to assist in locating the killer. He has robbed the family and the country of a young life and talent respectively,” said General Zuma.
2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Wat is dit wat Jesus doen en sê wanneer dit kom by ritmes in sy lewe? Hoekom nuwe ritmes aanleer? Soms het ons nie ‘n keuse nie… as jy dink aan ‘n broek vas maak en die knoop kom nie by nie…Ons word daarin gedwing… Paulus sê vir Timotheus hy moet ook pasop vir slegte ritmes in sy geestelike lewe.
1 Tim 4:7-9 (Message) Exercise daily in God—no spiritual flabbiness, please! Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever. You can count on this. Take it to heart.
Kyk in die spieël en dink sjoe… hierdie handvatsels is groter… Dit gebeur geestelik ook, oefen ons met dit wat ons weet goed is vir ons.
Ons moet erken dat die rigtings waarheen die Here ons wil in vat nooit ophou nie – en dat jy nie te oud, of te lank al ‘n Christen is om iets nuut te leer nie!! Nuwe ritmes kweek nuwe gewoontes en nuwe gewoontes bring nuwe lewe – veral in ‘n tyd soos dié waar ons verseker moet besin oor nuwe gewoontes…
Wat jy vanoggend moet doen is jy moet erken! Erken jy het nuwe ritmes nodig, anders gaan dit nooit nuwe gewoontes word wat lei na nuwe lewe nie.
Ek en Chanel paar jaar terug slegte eet gewoontes gehad – lei na – uurglas lyfie… in die slegte.
Ons moes stop en sê tot hier en nie verder nie! Ons het nodig om te erken – op te staan en – iets daaraan te doen, geloof sonder werke is dood…
Jakobus 2:14 Wat help dit, my broers, as iemand beweer dat hy glo, maar sy dade bevestig dit nie? Kan so ‘n geloof ‘n mens red?
Een van die eerste ritmes wat Jesus kommunikeer is aan Nikodemus… jy moet weer gebore word.
Johannes 3:3 Daarop sê Jesus vir hom: “Dít verseker Ek jou: As iemand nie opnuut gebore word nie, kan hy die koninkryk van God nie sien nie.
Weergeboorte = Hart vir Jesus gee… is dit al? Wat van die ander dele van jou lewe? Jy moet van vooraf begin dink – dink soos ‘n kind en toelaat dat God jou soog…
Kinders dink anders as grootmense… reg? Miskien is ons te groot… in ons verhouding met Jesus… of te flabby…ons eet net… en doen niks… ons word groot maar ons is nie aktief nie.
Jesus sê die tyd wanneer jy die meeste afhanklik is is wanneer jy ‘n kind is… gelukkig is elkeen wat weet hoe afhanklik hulle van my is (Matt 5)ek wil jou grootmaak… so gemaak so laat staan… Jesus sê ek wil jou weer grootmaakkom ons begin oor… maar ek soek nie net jou hart nie ek soek alles…
Om weer gebore te word om soos ‘n kind te word is voor vereiste vir groei. Jy kan nie groei as jy dink jy is klaar groot nie. “Know it alls” kan nie groei nie. Daai ding wat ek van praat – daai verhouding daai besigheids manier, daai wellus, daai gedagtes was iewers gebore… dit moet weer gebore word. Ek wil jou van vooraf leer oor hoe dit werk.
Matteus 11:25 Daardie tyd het Jesus gesê: “Ek prys U, Vader, Here van hemel en aarde, dat U hierdie dinge vir slim en geleerde mense verberg het en dit aan eenvoudiges bekend gemaak het.
Hebreërs 12:7-10 (Message) God is educating you; that’s why you must never drop out. He’s treating you as dear children. This trouble you’re in isn’t punishment; it’s training, the normal experience of children. Only irresponsible parents leave children to fend for themselves. Would you prefer an irresponsible God? We respect our own parents for training and not spoiling us, so why not embrace God’s training so we can truly live? While we were children, our parents did what seemed best to them.
But God is doing what is best for us, training us to live God’s holy best. At the time, discipline isn’t much fun. It always feels like it’s going against the grain. Later, of course, it pays off handsomely, for it’s the well-trained who find themselves mature in their relationship with God.
Partykeer druk slegte omstandighede ons in nuwe ritmes in… dit forseer ons om na ‘n ander manier te kyk… Wanneer ek omgekeer is dink ek eerder aan nuwe ritmes as in normale omstandighede.
Matteus 18:2-4 Hy het ‘n kindjie nader geroep en hom tussen hulle laat staan en gesê: “Dit verseker Ek julle: As julle nie verander en soos kindertjies word nie, sal julle beslis nie in die koninkryk van die hemel kom nie. Wie homself gering ag soos hierdie kindjie, hy is die belangrikste in die koninkryk van die hemel.
In watter dele van jou lewe moet jy weer gebore word? Nie net vir hemel toe gaan nie… wat is die dele…
President Ramaphosa, how many more must die? The banner across the road at Normandien is a grim reminder of how vulnerable farmers are. Farm murders have increased in 2020.
Saturday night, the 29th of August, will forever be remembered as the night that a senseless murder took place in Normandien KZN.
Glen and Vida Rafferty were shot and killed when they returned from Newcastle at around ten in the evening.
Both were shot numerous times by an unknown number of attackers. One of their dogs was also shot in the attack.
Glen and Vida was laid to rest today in Normandien in a private ceremony. People from all over gathered to show their support and to protest against farm murders.
The Normandien road was lined with hundreds of crosses erected by Working on Fire in support of the fight against farm attacks. The road was lined with hundreds of vehicles that stretched for several kilometres. Move One Million arranged a drive to show their support against Farm Murders.
The crosses represented a farm murder in South Africa. It is a brutal reminder of how many murders there have been.
Farm murders have seen a surge this year despite the government’s denial.
The latest crime statistics released by SAPS show a sharp increase in farm attacks this year, validating the concerns raised by rural citizens. A series of vicious crimes have turned the media spotlight on the farming community and its struggles to overcome a wave of brutality.
HOW MANY FARM ATTACKS HAS THERE BEEN IN SOUTH AFRICA?
According to recently released data, farm attacks have shot-up in the first six months of 2020. Police statistics indicate that, despite a national lockdown, criminals have taken the pandemic chaos as an opportunity:
SAPS statistics indicate that there were 80 attacks between January and March 2020.
A further 48 were reported between April and June of this year.
A total of 128 farm attacks have been reported in the first six months of 2020. This time last year, the number was just 13 – meaning that rural crimes have surged ten-fold.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) sponsored a motion in parliament recently to debate the surge in farm attacks and murders. They also tabled once again a plan for rural safety.
South Africa is one of the murderous countries in the world. On 24 September 2019, Businesstech wrote an article that stated South Africa is one of the least countries in the world.
Business Insider South Africa (November 19, 2019) wrote on how South Africa became one of the most murderous countries in the world.
The safety of South African citizens has been neglected by the government and even more so that of our farmers.
Food for Mzanzi wrote in an article published on July 31: “The spate of farm attacks and murders and especially the recent murders in the Vaalharts area, as well as the high levels of property-related crime, have brought the mood virtually to breaking point.” These were the words of Tommie Esterhuyse, chairperson of Agri SA’s centre of excellence: rural safety after the Vaalharts murders.
He said that it had become increasingly difficult to manage the situation and farmers and their workers have had enough. Esterhuyse says, “These and other incidents of violence which affect the farming community as well as fellow South Africans on a daily basis are strongly condemned.”
Agri SA said in a statement released on September 3:
The incidence of farm attacks and the murder of farmers and farm workers recently received considerable attention at government level and during a debate in Parliament in the past week. “Agri SA welcomes the condemnation of this serious crime by various government officials. There seems to be a new wave of condemnation of farm attacks and widespread acknowledgement of this as a problem, adding new momentum to efforts at government level to find solutions in this regard. The test is ultimately whether government will act decisively and fully implement existing policy and the Rural Safety Strategy to combat farm attacks,” said Pierre Vercueil, President of Agri SA.
Agri SA also welcomed the announcement by Deputy President David Mabuza that a meeting would be scheduled on Friday with the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Land Reform and Agriculture to discuss and seek solutions regarding the recent increase in farm murders and violent attacks. “We also welcome the Deputy President and Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development’s condemnation of farm attacks and their acknowledgement of the important role that agriculture plays in the economy,” said Vercueil.
The Minister of Police yesterday visited the Normandien district after the double murder during the weekend, where he met with role players and the farming community. According to Kwanalu, an affiliate of Agri SA, farmers and farm workers had an opportunity to share their concern over farm attacks with the minister. The minister said he would be back in two weeks’ time to assess the progress made. The community also intended to hold a prayer meeting this morning.
The chair of the Portfolio Committee for Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development, Inkosi Mandela, said in Parliament that farm attacks undermine food security, job creation and the national economy and that farmers and farm workers were particularly vulnerable because of long distances from essential services and therefore required the necessary police protection. Agri SA agrees with his views and therefore it is important that farmers and farm workers should receive the necessary protection. According to Vercueil, agriculture is one of the economic sectors with whom the most fellow citizens have a daily appointment with around the table and ensures that we have sufficient food.
“The importance of protecting farmers and farm workers as an asset for the country because of their contribution towards national stability, cannot be disputed. To this end, Agri SA will work with the police to ensure full implementation of the Rural Safety Strategy and the creation of an agriculture-friendly reservist system.” With reference to the call by Police Portfolio Committee Chair Tina Joemat-Pettersson that police should protect rural areas, Tommie Esterhuyse, the chair of Agri SA’s Centre of Excellence: Rural Safety, said “Agri SA has already held discussions with the police and looks forward to further cooperation within the agreed-upon task teams in this regard”.
Being a Farmer in South Africa has become one of the most dangerous professions. The whole agricultural sector is under threat and this will only impact negatively on food security, not only for South Africa but for the African continent.
MM placed on suspension by ANC majority during a controversial council meeting.
“It doesn’t matter what the opposition says, we will push it through!” The words of MMC Ethel Nkosi still ring in the ears of the opposition as the ANC pushes through their agenda of removing the Municipal Manager. These words were uttered by the MMC in 2018 when opposition parties opposed the budget.
The last extraordinary council meeting was no different. Opposition parties vehemently opposed the suspension of the Municipal Manager, proposing that at the very least the Mayor and CFO should also be suspended and investigated.
The council meeting was scheduled for Wednesday. Only two items were tabled to the council. The first one was the Human Rights Report regarding the sewer spillages in Govan Mbeki Municipality (GMM). The second was the proposed disciplinary action against the Municipal Manager. The actual item was withheld until the last minute in contravention of the Councill Standing Orders.
Opposition parties called the item a witch hunt to divert the attention away from Ngxonono and her mayoral council. The DA said that they will not be part of the meeting and withdrew from the virtual meeting. The EFF also withdrew from the meeting and the FF+ followed suit. The ANC councillors that were left did not form a quorum and the meeting had to be reconvened on Thursday.
The item was presented again and the ANC used their majority to push the item through. Opposition parties again did not attend.
The Director of Community Services, Lizzy Shabalala, was appointed as acting Municipal Manager.
During the presentation of the item, the Mayor, Cllr Thandiwe Ngxonono, accused the Municipal Manager, Felani Mndebele of the late submission of the Annual Financial Statements. Her letter to the MM stated: ”You failed to submit the Annual Financial Statements which has led to the municipality not getting the equitable share, resulting in the non-payment of many creditors, therefore, entering the municipality deeper into debts as the municipality is being charged more interest on debtors.”
This is contrary to previous council meetings where the late submission of the Annual Financial Statements was condoned by the council.
Ngxonono claimed that the MM and his officials cost the municipality several millions of Rands but the MM denied this in his reply.
Ngxonono levelled several accusations against Mndebele, all of which the MM repudiated.
In his response to the allegations by the Ngxonono, Mndebele stated that “there is massive political interference meted out by the Executive Mayor since my appointment on the following issues, namely: recruitment/appointment of staff, the appointment of Service Providers to do business with Council and Payment of Service Providers.”
Mndebele made it clear that more information will be revealed during his disciplinary tribunal.
Mndebele stated that his day to day running of the municipality was made virtually impossible by the interference of the Mayor. She insisted on consulting on all decisions taken by Mndebele.
Opposition leader Democratic Alliance Councillor Ciska Jordaan said in her statement to the council: ”The DA is shocked, but not surprised with the response that was submitted by the Municipal Manager. What has been clarified, is what we have suspected all along and categorically stated in the last council meeting and we will repeat again: the Executive Mayor’s attempt to suspend the MM wreaks of political interference and blame-shifting.
This is confirmed by the claim that the Executive Mayor neglects to do performance assessments of the MM but now wants to recommend for his suspension saying that he is not performing.”
“It should be a concerning eye-opener, that the council continuously condones incompetency as in the case of the late submission of the AFS which was condoned by the council twice. This then becomes our burden – it is caused by incessant majority voting while councillors are often clearly not even aware of what it is they are voting for but simply siding with the ruling party despite the advice of the Opposition – and cannot be blamed on the administration.”
She continued: “The MM appallingly mentions how he attempted twice to discipline an official for non-performance, and that this is well known and have been found by the Office of the Auditor-General, Provincial Treasury and the Executive Mayor who promised to consult the MEC for CoGTA and the ANC so as to be able to advise the MM as if it is her decision.”
“Furthermore, the DA is deeply disturbed by the allegations that there is massive political interference meted by the Executive Mayor in a number of matters and that the MM was expected to consult with the Executive Mayor on all decisions to be taken.”
Ciska pointed out the following to the Mayor and council: “These, are allegations of high-level corruption and a criminal offence that is liable to a fine or imprisonment according to section 119 of the Municipal Systems Act and should be investigated.”
“Any councillor who supports these recommendations of the Executive Mayor, after having read the allegations that are made by the MM and taking into cognisance the words of the President that I have quoted earlier, is clearly not voting with his or her conscience and honouring the oath that they have taken to serve.”
Before withdrawing from council Ciska ended her statement with the following: “I think we have made it unconditionally clear Honourable Speaker, that as the Democratic Alliance we reject this item in its totality, we continue to call for the Executive Mayor to be held accountable for the mess this municipality is in and since the ANC is clearly going to steamroll this witch hunt, out of protest, the DA, therefore, withdraws from this meeting, in the effort of leaving the council without a quorum.”
The mayor also has duties in accordance with the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA). Several areas have prescribed duties in the act but the area that needs to be highlighted is contained in Chapter 7. (Taken directly from the act)
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MAYORS
General responsibilities
52. The mayor of a municipality-
(a) must provide general political guidance over the fiscal and financial affairs of the municipality:
(b) in providing such general political guidance, may monitor and, to the extent provided in this Act. oversee the exercise of responsibilities assigned in terms of this Act to the accounting officer and the chief financial officer, but may not interfere in the exercise of those responsibilities;
(c) must take all reasonable steps to ensure that the municipality performs its constitutional and statutory functions within the limits of the municipality’s approved budget:
(d) must, within 30 days of the end of each quarter, submit a report to the council on the implementation of the budget and the financial state of affairs of the municipality: and
(e) must exercise the other powers and perform the other duties assigned to the mayor in terms of this Act or delegated by the council to the mayor.
Freedom Front Plus Councillor Aranda Nel-Buitendag said in a statement to The Bulletin: “The FF plus feel the suspension of the Municipal Manager is unacceptable. The allegation that was made by the Executive Mayor of the MM is absurd.”
“In our previous council meeting, there was documentation to follow the right process to suspend the MM. The FF Plus voted against the suspension and so did other opposition parties, however, the ANC overruled us as opposition parties with their majority.”
“The FF Plus feels that the CFO of GMM is responsible for the late submission of the Annual Financial Statements by staling the submission, ensuring that the financial reports did not reach AG in time.” said Aranda.
“The best came to light in the MM‘s report where he implicated the Executive Mayor in wrongdoing by interfering in the MM’s job so that he could not perform his duties as a MM properly.”
“This shows that the EM failed, in her position as mayor, to do the oversight and not interfere in officials work,” concluded Aranda, “What is the EM hiding in this process? Is she removing the MM so that they cannot point a finger at her at all?”
The Bulletin can only conclude that whilst the politicians battle it out in Council Chambers, residents will still have to endure load-shedding, sewage spillages, poor refuse removal and other service delivery failures.

Staunch call for peaceful demonstrations
Move One Million organisers call upon all South Africans across the country to adhere to the government’s message about Heritage Month to foster greater social cohesion, nation building and a shared national identity as they take to the streets this weekend.
The grassroots movement Move One Million has united over half a million citizens via social media over the past 6 weeks. They strongly urge all those in support of the movement to keep in mind the reason they are taking part in this mass demonstration on Saturday 5 September 2020. The movement emphasizes that the values of love, unity, respect and kindness should be adopted by every ‘mover’ intending on taking to the streets.
Jarette Petzer, founder of Move One Million stated: “We call upon all citizens supporting Move One Million to show the utmost respect towards their fellow citizens including authorities such as SAPS. This is set to be the biggest, most unifying movement in our 26 years of democracy. We strongly encourage everyone to hold the vision of a united, peaceful and prosperous South Africa at the forefront of their minds on Saturday.”
In the interest of public safety and based on the response from the police last week, organisers call upon all participants to refrain from approaching all parliamentary buildings, Houses of Parliament in Cape Town in particular. Those in Cape Town are invited to join in activities at Grand Parade.
The movement strongly condemns any acts of looting and burning or destruction of property including all private, public and government property. Citizens are reminded not to mount, deface, drape items on, or destroy any monument or other property.
Everyone is asked to abide by the laws regarding the respectful display of the South African flag and that it is illegal to display the old Apartheid flag.
All participants are to refrain from any act of violence. They also ask participants to keep in mind the relevant regulations of the Disaster Management Act including social distancing to reduce the spread of the virus.
Petzer went on to say: “We understand everyone’s frustrations and emotions are high but let us not spoil the start of something that is so much bigger than each of us as individuals. Our movement belongs to all of us. We welcome citizens from all races, orientation, religious backgrounds and all walks of life. We ask people to adopt our values of love, unity, caring and kindness as ways to channel their frustrations in a positive and productive way.”
Where possible, organisers urge others to take part by means of vehicle convoy. Those creating awareness on street corners are reminded to please adhere to all road safety regulations which includes not walking on the roads itself except at pedestrian crossings when it is safe to do so and not distracting drivers whilst driving or blocking the flow of traffic for everyone’s safety.
A police officer living nearby heard the gunshots and called for backup. Members of the civilian neighbourhood watch group also got involved and spotted the suspects where a shootout ensued.
One suspect was shot and killed and another suspect was apprehended and sustained gunshot wounds.
Two firearms, with serial numbers filed off loaded with ammunition were seized.
The third suspect evaded arrest hence the manhunt.
The police opened a case of attempted house robbery, murder, attempted murder as well as unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.
The 30 -year-old suspect was taken to hospital just after his arrest where he is under police guard and he is expected to appear in the Delmas Magistrate’s Court on Friday, 04 September 2020.
Meanwhile police are requesting anyone with information that can assist in the investigation to kindly contact Detective Warrant Officer Eddie Raphakgadi on 082 499 3149 or call the Crime Stop number on 08600 1011.
