The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) welcomed the Supreme Court of Appeal’s (SCA’s) ruling that found that assets obtained through crime could not be hidden in trusts and could be frozen and seized pending the finalisation of a criminal case. This is after the national director of public prosecutions (NDPP) used the Prevention of Organised Crime Act (Poca) against the directors of Regiments Group, Dr Eric Wood, Niven Pillay and Litha Nyhonyha, to seize property including assets held in trusts on behalf of the directors. They face allegations of corruption, money laundering and fraud involving about R1bn. Thabiso Tema speaks to Legal Analyst, Advocate Romeo Nthambeleni.

The Joburg City Power board said that the scrapping of the R200 electricity surcharge would have a negative impact on its ability to supply power to residents.  As of 1 July, City Power began charging its customers on prepaid meters a monthly R200 service and network capacity fee. While the tariff was passed by the Johannesburg council back in May, the widespread outcry has brought it back to the minds of many political parties in the city. For many years, Joburg City Power has been charging post-paid and large power users a network and service fee.  The only type of user that was exempted from this fee, were prepaid customers.  Thabiso Tema speaks Chairperson of the City Power Board, Bonolo Ramokhele.
