A man named Kgaugelo Kaditsi is fighting to get over five million rand owed to him by the Road Accident Fund after a 2019 crash that cost him a leg. Despite a court order to pay, the RAF hasn’t complied — so Kaditsi’s lawyer is now threatening to seize and auction off the fund’s assets, including cars, flags, office gear, and even a golf cart, to force payment. With a 40% disability and chronic pain, Kaditsi’s case is both personal and urgent — and the auction on July 24th in Pretoria could be the final move to get what’s legally his.

The National Treasury has halted July funding for 75 municipalities over rampant financial mismanagement, citing over R145 billion in irregular spending and R24 billion in wasted cash since 2021. This corrective action, affecting all nine provinces, follows years of warnings and failed interventions, with municipalities failing to comply with the Municipal Finance Management Act. The Treasury gave them advance notice and insists this isn’t punishment but a necessary fix to safeguard essential services like water and electricity, which are already strained by massive debts to Eskom and water boards. Alarmingly, many municipalities aren’t even investigating their own irregularities or enforcing accountability, allowing a cycle of mismanagement to continue. Funds will resume once municipalities demonstrate genuine reform and improved financial discipline.

Major General Feroz Khan faces fresh allegations of corruption, allegedly colluding with entrepreneur Ismail Vally to secure a R50 million automotive spare parts tender—on top of a previous R280 million kickback scandal. Meanwhile, police arrest Adrian Mackenzie, suspended Ekurhuleni officer accused of stealing R14 million in precious stones with two others in 2023.

South Africa’s construction mafia is wreaking havoc on infrastructure, hijacking projects worth nearly 63 billion rand with fake companies, violence, and intimidation. The government’s new Integrated Social Facilitation Framework aims to stop them by embedding community engagement from day one—turning potential targets into partners. With over 770 reported crimes and 240 arrests since last year’s summit, progress is visible, especially in KwaZulu-Natal, but the syndicates are adapting. This isn’t just about policing—it’s about building trust, preventing exploitation, and delivering the roads, schools, and clinics communities need—safely and fairly.

A traditional healer in Mpumalanga, South Africa, is set to receive 650,000 rand in damages after a court ruled police acted unlawfully by shooting her four times with rubber bullets, handcuffing her to a hospital bed, and detaining her for four days during a protest in February 2020. The healer, who was shot while already on the ground and falsely accused of participating in the protest, suffered lasting injuries including chronic pain, mobility issues, and urinary incontinence. A police officer admitted he never saw her protesting and acknowledged she posed no threat while injured. The judge found no probable cause for arrest or detention, ordering the police minister to pay 200,000 rand for unlawful detention and 450,000 rand for unlawful assault — a landmark ruling underscoring the need for accountability and due process in law enforcement.

Julius Malema faces intense scrutiny as the Madlanga Commission probes alleged ties between him, senior Crime Intelligence official Feroz Khan, and tobacco smuggler Mohammedh Sayed—centered on explosive WhatsApp messages hinting at a covert operation to oust a top intelligence figure. Evidence suggests Malema may have received confidential intel, including details about a corruption case against him, and allegedly backed Khan in evading disciplinary action. Further, messages point to Malema’s involvement in a high-stakes SAPS fleet tender. Defending himself, Malema insists he received public information as an MP, citing his role in holding officials accountable—like after a musician’s murder. He denies knowing of the Sayed-Khan chats, rejects bribery claims, and disputes reports of his family’s free housing, citing a lease agreement. He also questions the chats’ authenticity. While the commission hasn’t confirmed Malema’s testimony, it vows fairness to all involved.

Gas prices could drop in August if oil stays steady through July—potentially saving drivers 76 to 86 cents per liter on petrol and 20 cents on diesel. After recent steep hikes, even small relief is welcome, though prices remain 6 rand higher than March levels. Global tensions and OPEC+ moves are keeping prices volatile, with Brent crude hovering around $72. The race between supply stability and geopolitical risks will decide how much relief drivers see at the pump.
