KwaZulu-Natal taxi boss Thomas Siyabonga Getsemane is wanted by police after a warrant of arrest was issued for fraud and extortion. The charges relate to allegations dating back to 2023. Taxi association SANTACO in KZN says while the warrant is part of the legal process, it does not mean Getsemane is guilty and the claims must still be tested in court. Law enforcement allegedly tried to apprehend him at his La Lucia residence, but he was not located. We spoke to KZN SANTACO Spokesperson, Sifiso Shangase

Defenders of the People (DOP) has raised alarm over a long-standing housing crisis affecting approximately 300 households in Winnie Mandela Section, Olifantsfontein, where multiple families have allegedly been allocated to a single residential stand, creating overcrowding, conflict and uncertainty. The party says generations of residents have been forced to live under a controversial "two-in-one" arrangement, while successive administrations in the City of Ekurhuleni have failed to provide a lasting solution. DOP has since initiated discussions with municipal authorities, demanding urgent intervention and greater transparency in efforts to resolve the matter. We spoke to DOP National Spokesperson, Councillor Samuel Mokalapa.
