Nzimande calls for arrest of criminals behind UKZN arson
Higher Education, Science and Innovation Minister, Dr Blade Nzimande, has called for the arrest of those responsible for the burning of the examination venue at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg campus.
Nzimande’s call comes after the William O’Brien examination venue was set alight this week, and the intimidation of both staff and students at the university.
The criminal acts are reported to be linked to the ongoing student protests at the university.
“These are pure acts of criminality and those who are behind them must be identified, shamed and arrested irrespective of who they are,” Nzimande said.
Nzimande said he was pleased that a case of public violence has been opened, and that the university is cooperating with law enforcement agencies to ensure that those responsible for the heinous acts are held accountable.
The Minister also called on the university’s Student Representative Council (SRC) to condemn the criminal acts and work together with the management of the university and law enforcement agencies to identify the individuals behind the acts, which are also meant to delay the students from pursuing their studies.
“Should it be established that there are students behind these criminal acts, they must be subjected to the university internal disciplinary processes because arson, vandalism and intimidation are counter revolutionary and will not justify any legitimate forms of protest and should be condemned unequivocally by all, including by student themselves,” Nzimande said.
The Minister also noted that the Department of Higher Education and Training is investing about R8.662 billion across all the 26 universities during the 2023/24-2025/26 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) period in improving the infrastructure of universities.
“This is amongst the reasons that government will not tolerate individuals who would want to deny the current and the future generations from enjoying better and improved infrastructure in the post school education and training sector,” he said.
What the babies’ parents told Lucy Letby as she was sentenced
Families of the babies who were murdered and attacked by Lucy Letby have told Manchester Crown Court of the horrific impact the serial killer has had on their lives.
The former nurse will spend the rest of her life in prison, with no chance of parole, for murdering seven babies and trying to kill six others. Their parents gave victim impact statements before she was sentenced. Some of the surviving babies have been left with disabilities, they said.
In court, families of the babies sat in the public gallery, some crying quietly. Members of the jury were also visibly upset as they listened to the statements. Letby refused to attend court to hear the suffering she had caused.
Reporting restrictions protect the identities of the babies and their families, so they are referred to as babies A to P.
Warning: This article contains details some readers may find upsetting
Mother of Baby A and B
“You thought it was your right to play God with our children’s lives.”
The twins were attacked in June 2015 – Baby A was murdered on 8 June and Letby attempted to kill his sister 28 hours later.
“Our minds are so traumatised it won’t let us remember the night you killed our child,” their mother said in a statement. “After losing (Baby A) we were riddled with fear for his sister (Baby B). We are so thankful that we had that fear for her, as it saved her life… there was always a member of our family at her side watching.”
“Little did we know you were waiting for us to leave so you could attack,” she added.
“You thought you could enter our lives and turn it upside down but you will never win. We hope you live a very long life and spend every day suffering for what you’ve done.”
Mother of Baby C
“Knowing his murderer was watching us was like something out of a horror story.”
The mother of Baby C remembered the “overwhelming wave of emotion” she felt when she first held Baby C, whom she called “my tiny feisty boy”. He was murdered on 14 June, 2015.
She wore her first-born’s hand and footprints around her neck after his death. But when Letby was arrested she felt “so conflicted” – the nurse had been the one to take those prints.
She cried as she spoke of the impact Letby has had on her family: “There is no sentence that will ever compare to the excruciating agony that we have suffered as a consequence of your actions.”
Mother of Baby D
“I was desperate to feel her, smell her, cuddle her.”
The mother of Baby D held a toy rabbit as she spoke from the witness box. After her daughter was murdered on 22 June 2015, she pushed for answers, but she was initially told it was not a police matter.
“I missed (Baby D) so much. I was desperate to feel her, smell her, cuddle her. I was desperate to keep her safe.”
She said she lost confidence “as a woman, as a friend, as a wife”, and said her marriage suffered. “It has been hard to keep strong together at times.”
“Since (Baby D) passed away I live behind my own shadow.”
Mother of Baby E and F
“Our worlds were shattered when we encountered evil disguised as a caring nurse.”
Letby murdered Baby E on 4 August 2015. She attempted to murder his brother 24 hours later.
The mother of the twin boys said the family had been “living with a life sentence because of Letby’s crimes”. She said her surviving son had been left with complex needs after the attack. She is still frightened to leave him alone.
When Letby was first identified as a murder suspect, she and her husband felt “cheated, deceived and utterly heartbroken”. She described Letby’s absence from court as “just one final act of wickedness from a coward”.
Father of Baby G
“Her condition affects every aspect of our lives.”
Baby G was left severely disabled by Letby. The nurse was found guilty of attempting to murder her twice, in September 2015.
“Every day I would sit there and pray. I would pray for God to save her. He did. He saved her, but the devil found her,” her father said of their time in hospital.
The court heard Baby G is now registered blind, has cerebral palsy and progressive scoliosis. Her father said she needs substantial care and that her mother only gets about two hours of sleep a night.
“We see other families and their children fishing, playing football, other things we can’t do. She will never have a sleepover, go to high school, have a boyfriend, get married.”
Mother of Baby I
“A part of us died with her.”
Baby I was alert, content and feeding well before she died, her mother said. The family was planning to bring their daughter home when they were told she’d had another collapse, on 23 October 2015. Letby was found guilty of murdering her.
“She was our gorgeous little princess and I can’t even begin to explain the pain when we lost her.”
The mother said her whole body was shaking when she was told someone had been arrested for murder. “We were both absolutely broken that someone could do something so evil to our precious little girl.”
She has had therapy and taken medication over the past six years to cope with her daughter’s death. “We have been in some very dark places mentally.”
After the death of Baby I, they had another daughter who was born prematurely and with sepsis, but she said she found it incredibly hard to be back on a neonatal unit. She refused to leave her daughter’s side until she came home.
“We struggle with trust. I won’t leave my kids in a hospital. We will never give anyone that type of trust with our kids again. I don’t think we will ever get over the fact that our daughter was tortured until she had no fight left in her.”
Father of Babies L and M
“Letby kept looking over at me.”
The serial killer attempted to murder the twin boys in early April 2016. Their father said the image of his son collapsing was “forever etched” in his mind.
The family was initially told by doctors that the events were “normal for premature babies”, he said in a statement. “Little did we know that a year or so after their birth the police would come knocking on the door and break the news that this could be an attempted murder case.”
He said he had been prescribed anti-depressants but “even though they have helped, they can never take away the feelings I have as a parent”.
During the trial, he said he had to sit in Letby’s line of view one day, saying the nurse kept looking over at him. “That made me feel quite uncomfortable and uneasy and I had to move in the afternoon, so I was out of her view.”
Mother of Baby N
“We believe Baby N has lasting damage as a result of the injuries he sustained.”
Letby attempted to murder the baby boy in June 2016. “The day we were called to the neonatal unit was the worst day of our lives,” his mother said in a statement.
She said she always knew her son had been deliberately harmed: “I don’t know if it was a mother’s instinct, but I just knew.” She added: “We just questioned why a healthy baby boy was fine one minute and bleeding from the mouth and needing CPR the next.”
“We both relive this every day.”
She said she felt “happy and relieved” when the police contacted them to say they were investigating Letby. “We felt like we were being listened to.”
The family still has a camera in their now seven-year-old’s bedroom so they can check on him while he sleeps. “We are extremely protective,” she said. “We wanted him to be home-schooled as we didn’t want anybody else looking after him.”
Parents of Baby O and P
“It has destroyed me as a man and as a father.”
The parents had triplets, all boys. Two of the brothers were murdered on 23 and 24 June 2016 respectively.
Their parents gave statements via a pre-recorded video, played in court. “Going through the ‘firsts’ with the surviving triplet is very hard,” said the mother. “I started to blame myself. I thought I’d passed on an illness to all three of the boys – an infection.”
After the death of Baby P Letby seemed “inconsolable” said the mother, who thanked the nurse at the time. She said she hates the fact Letby was the last person to hold her son.
The boys’ father spoke about watching Baby O deteriorate and die. “It was horrific to see – it is an image that I’ll never forget,” he said. He sobbed throughout his statement and many in court were in tears.
He said he had suffered mental breakdowns and struggled with alcohol and suicidal feelings. He is still classed as long-term sick.
“The anger and the hatred I have towards [Letby] will never go away,” he said. “It will continue to haunt us and will always have an impact on our lives.”
Government pays out more than R330m to Marikana victims
Government has paid more than R330 million in claims related to the Marikana tragedy.
This was revealed by Solicitor-General Fhedzisani Pandelani during a media briefing on Thursday.
Claims payments have been disbursed to claimants through their legal representatives, including the Wits Law Clinic, as well as the Socio Economic Rights Institute of South Africa (SERI).
The tragedy occurred in 2011 at the North West town when police officials shot and killed some 34 miners during a labour-related strike at Lonmin Mine.
Some 78 others were injured, with a further 10 people – including law enforcement officials – dying in clashes before the tragedy.
“The Marikana incident of 16 August 2012 is a painful and significant and solemn chapter in our nation’s history. It is something that we cannot downplay because people are still impacted emotionally and it casts a sombre shadow over the tragic clash between striking miners and law enforcement, resulting in multiple fatalities.
“As a result of which, we, as government lawyers, are now seized with having to meet the lawful demands that have been lodged with us. These funds have served to address a spectrum of claims that relate to legal consideration stemming from the Marikana incident,” Pandelani said.
In relation to the 10 people who died in earlier clashes, Pandelani said that no claim has been laid against government.
“There is always a narrative of confining the fatalities to only 34 individuals. In our book, it’s actually 34 plus another 10 who are never accounted for. We also need to take that into account. In relation to the 10 who died before the other miners, we’ve got no claim that has been lodged against government.
“The other 10 people who died, there was no causation on the death itself that was attributable to government or the State. Their settlements might have been settled by other individuals,” Pandelani said.
Constitutional damages
Turning to the potential constitutional law damages that may be lodged against the state, Pandelani said the Solicitor-General’s office currently does not have the mandate to deal with those matters.
He said upon instruction to do so, “it is an issue that we are prepared to explore”.
“Where a new concept… is introduced, such as constitutional litigation, which was not existing at the time of incident, you find a situation where you are applying the law retrospectively. We need to get instructions from the South African Police Service and everybody else.
“We are having to deal with the… concept of constitutional litigation. Why was it not pleaded as and when the matters started? And as creatures of instruction, where do you then derive the powers to settle on an aspect using taxpayers’ money on an issue which has not been ventilated in court? Until and unless there are new developments and there is cogent argument that is presented before any court of law about any novel or new issue that arises out of the Marikana litigation, I think we have done enough.
“Remarkable strides have been realised in the strategic orchestration and harmonisation of the Marikana litigation. The resolution of numerous claims stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to justice and due process,” he said.
Marikana Massacre
On 16 August 2012, the South African Police Service (SAPS) opened fire on a crowd of striking mineworkers at Marikana, in the North West Province. The police killed 34 mineworkers, and left 78 seriously injured. Following the open fire assault – 250 of the miners were arrested.
This event culminated after an intense week-long protest in which the miners were demanding a wage increase at the Lonmin platinum mine in a wildcat strike. A wildcat strike, or ‘unofficial industrial action’, is strike action undertaken by unionised workers without the union-leadership’s authorisation, support, or approval. On 9 August about three thousand miners went on strike to demand a living wage. On 10 August, a large group of the striking miners approached the National Union for Miners (NUM) local office in order to demand support from their union, and were instead met with the firing of live ammunition, fatally wounding two miners.
This fatal breakdown in communication between the miners and their union further aggravated a volatile situation, in which the miners and their families were desperately trying to have their voices heard and their needs met. The miners were unable to attain a meeting with NUM or Lonmin representatives and events became increasingly militaristic following the death of the two protesting miners.
Between 12- 14 August at least four miners, two police officers and two security guards died in the ensuing violence. On 13 August, 30 miners were delegated to cross the veld (field) that separated them from another Lonmin platinum mine, Karee, where miners were also undergoing a wildcat strike. The 30 miners were forced by security to turn back without being allowed to meet with miners on the other side. On their way back they were met with a contingent of police. Eye-witness reports say there were about 10 nyalas (military police vans) and two police trucks. The police barred their way and told them to lay down their weapons (machetes also known as pangas), to which the workers refused, saying they needed the pangas for everyday living in the ‘bush’.
The police allowed the miners to continue, but once they were about 10 metres away, the police allegedly began to open gun fire (rubber bullets and later live ammunition) on them, and the miners retaliated. Two policemen and two miners were killed in this battle, and one miner injured severely.
The strike continued despite gaining no support from NUM and receiving no official commitment from Lonmin management to enter into negotiations. The strike was for a wage increase and to address the poor living and work conditions of miners and their families in Marikana. These issues were not formally addressed by the NUM or by Lonmin during the protest. Many of the strikers instead began losing their jobs and the protesters were met with unrelenting hostility by security, the police, and union personnel and management.
Despite having no legal protection or union support, thousands of miners continued to strike in solidarity for their common goal – a better quality life and the dignity it affords. The families of the striking miners were also in general solidarity with the protest and worked to support the movement, joining in protest action and bringing supplies when necessary.
Striking mine workers gather on hill on 16 August 2012, before massacre occurs.
On 14 August Lonmin officially halted production at the Marikana platinum mine.
The miners set up camp on a hill called Wonderkop near the Lonmin mine. Police and miners occasionally entered into discussions however the miners remained steadfast in their strike action, and on 16 August a full frontal attack was launched on them.
More than 400 police were deployed, most in camouflage military gear and armed with R5s, a licensed replica of the Israeli Galil SAR, or LM5 assault rifles, designed for infantry and tactical police use. A barb wire fence was set along the outside perimeter to close the miners in, and military police vehicles and helicopters were deployed on the scene. The police were deployed in a manner that caused concern among the strikers. Despite statements that the police were acting in self defence, it is considered by many that they were not in any real danger. About a dozen miners were caught on camera being shot at directly, and this footage has received global attention and outrage. However most of the miners who were killed and injured were not caught on camera, with some of the miner’s bodies reportedly discovered behind boulders and in retreat. Many of the slain and injured had gunshots in their backs and there were miners who were found with injuries of being ridden over by nyalas.
Not a single policeman was killed or severely on 16 August 2012.
Addressing a press conference, SAPS authorities claimed its officers opened fire on the miners in self-defence, after the miners attempted to attack them using machetes, spears and clubs. The official number of people killed was confirmed by National Police Commissioner General Riah Phiyega, weeks after the incident.
Among the miners killed, was Mgacineni “Mambush” Noki, Bongani Nqongophele, Janaveke Raphael, Van Wyk Sagalala, security guard Matlhomola Mabelane, Andries Ntshenyeho, Xolani Nduzuzu, Telang Mohai, Thabile Mpumza, Stelega Gadlela, Thabiso Thelejane, Thabiso Mosebetsane, Jackson Lehupa and many others.
The Marikana Commission of Inquiry was set up to investigate the massacre of miners at Marikana. The commission’s first seating was on 1 October 2012, its final sitting was on 14 November 2014, and its report was submitted by President Zuma on 31 March 2015.
The report absolved the key political figures who were accused of having a hand in the events leading to the massacre, including Deputy State President Cyril Ramaphosa who at the time of the massacre was a non-executive director at Lomnin, former Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa, former Mineral Resource Minister Susan Shabangu and the National Police Commissioner Ria Phiyega. It also found that Lonmin had failed to engage with workers and the trade unions operating in that sector, NUM and AMCU, were found not to have had full control of its members who embarked on the unprotected strike.
South Africa is world’s third biggest producer of platinum, one of the highest trading resources on the market. Lonmin had 28 000 miners in its employ and has since retrenched thousands of its workers. Families of the miners slain and injured are still seeking reparations.

Call for swift investigation into pregnant woman’s murder
KwaZulu-Natal Social Development MEC, Nonhlanhla Khoza, has called on law enforcement agencies to conduct a thorough and swift investigation after the brutal murder of a pregnant woman in Ehlanzeni in Ubuhlebezwe Local Municipality.
Busisiwe Ngubo’s body was found just a kilometre away from her home on Monday morning.
It is alleged that the 35-year-old victim, who was pregnant with twins, was strangled and her lifeless body discarded on the roadside.
According to reports, Ngubo left her home after receiving a call from her police officer boyfriend. She had shared information with relatives and they were aware of her intentions to travel to hospital, as she was about to deliver.
“We demand nothing less than a rigorous pursuit of justice in this case. The individual responsible for this heinous act must be apprehended promptly and the full force of the law should be brought to bear on them,” Khoza said.
In this moment of tragedy, Khoza emphasised the importance of eradicating violence against women, especially within intimate relationships.
“Our society cannot and will not tolerate such atrocities any longer. We stand united against these acts of violence and collectively strive for an environment where everyone, irrespective of gender, can live without fear,” Khoza said.
The MEC said the loss of Ngubo is a stark reminder of the pressing need to address gender-based violence (GBV), and to foster a culture of respect, equality and safety.
She urged society to come together to demand an end to such brutality.
“Let us honour the memory of Busisiwe Ngubo by working towards a society free from such horrors.”
Khoza has sent her heartfelt condolences to the Ngubo family and the community of Ehlanzeni for their loss.
“Our thoughts are with the grieving family and friends during this trying period,” she said.
The MEC has since mobilised a team of social workers to provide psycho-social support to Ngubo’s family and help them navigate through this traumatic experience, and find some semblance of healing.
Condolences to Umhlathuzana accident victims’ families
Meanwhile, Khoza has extended her heartfelt condolences to the family members of the children who were killed in an accident while walking to school in Umhlathuzana, south of Durban.
According to the reports, the tragic incident occurred last week Friday when four boys were on their way to Umhlathuzana Primary School.
The tow truck lost control, resulting in a collision, claiming the lives of two boys and the driver. Another young life was also lost in the hospital, while one boy sustained moderate injuries and is currently receiving medical care.
“In this moment of profound sorrow, our hearts extend to the bereaved family and the entire Umhlathuzana community, as well as the affected school. We offer our sincerest condolences and stand united with the entire Umhlathuzana community as they navigate through this period of mourning.
“Our collective thoughts and prayers accompany the families, grappling with an unimaginable loss. It is paramount that decisive measures are undertaken to avert such heart-wrenching incidents and to ensure the safety of our children during their journeys to and from school,” Khoza said.
A dedicated team of social workers has been dispatched to provide essential psycho-social support to both the affected families and learners.
R400m tender fraud trial to begin in May next year
Four people are expected to have their day in court in May next year in a case related to tender fraud amounting to some R400 million.
The tender was awarded to airline SA Express by the North West Provincial Government (NWPG) in 2014 and was subject to scrutiny at the State Capture Commission, which subsequently recommended a criminal probe into the matter.
In the dock in May 2024 will be former head of the provincial Department of Transport, Thabang Mohlokoleng; Tebogo Van Wyk, Nothando Dube and Sipho Phiri, together with companies, Batsamai Investment Holdings, Sevilex Investment Holdings and Lavao Estevao (PTY) Ltd.
The four face 34 charges including fraud, corruption, money laundering and contravention of the Public Finance Management Act, with charges of racketeering also expected to be added to the docket.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regional spokesperson Henry Mamothame, the charges stem from the provincial government’s 2014 bid to reintroduce commercial airlines to airports in Mmabatho and Pilanesberg on a subsidy of some R400 million.
“An amount of R183 million was then paid to SA Express between 2015 and 2017, for the services rendered by the ground management companies, which Van Wyk, Dube and Phiri are linked to. The State alleges that of the amount… R51 million was channelled irregularly through the charged companies,” he said.
Mathomane said the tender awarded to the airline was done without “following the proper supply chain management processes”.
“The irregularly secured agreement is said to have been signed by the fourth accused. Mohlokoleng signed on behalf of the Department of Transport as the then Accounting Officer, in his capacity as the head of the department. The deal was allegedly riddled with procurement irregularities and monies were paid for services not rendered.
“The irregularities prejudiced the North West government of millions of Rands that could have been directed to service delivery,” Mamothame said.
Pre-trial conferencing is expected to commence in January 2024.
Three suspects arrested for illegal mining in Limpopo
Police in Driekop, in the Sekhukhune District — in collaboration with Mecklenburg, Burgersfort, Tubatse SAPS, as well as Public Order Policing (POPS) in Limpopo — have apprehended three suspects, aged between 21 and 35, for alleged illegal mining.
The trio were nabbed on Tuesday morning at about 09:30am.
Police followed up on information about the suspects, who were conducting illegal mining activities on top of the mountain at Ga-Maroga village, under the Driekop policing precinct. They immediately rushed to the scene.
On their arrival, the police found a large number of people mining chrome. They then started to run in different directions, trying to evade being arrested.
Three males, consisting of two South Africans and one illegal immigrant, whose nationality will still going to be confirmed, were cornered and nabbed at the scene.
During the operation, the team managed to seize mining equipment. These include 12 wheelbarrows, 11 generators, six jack hammers, two grease pumps, a bundle of cables and a Bell TLB machine, with an estimated value of over R200 000.
The trio are expected to appear before the Mecklenburg Magistrate’s Court soon on charges of illegal mining and contravention of the Immigration Act.
The Provincial Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, has vowed that the fight against illegal mining in the province will be strengthened to bring the perpetrators to book.
Police investigations are continuing.
Former First Lady’s murderer granted parole
The murderer of former First Lady Marike de Klerk has been granted parole by the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) and will be released from prison at the end of August.
De Klerk was the ex-wife of former President FW de Klerk.
Luyanda Mboniswa brutally murdered Marike de Klerk in 2001 in what is believed to be a botched robbery at her Cape Town home.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2003 and spent at least 20 years in jail for murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances and housebreaking.
DCS spokesperson, Singabakho Nxumalo, explained the conditions that Mboniswa will have to comply with while on parole.
“Mboniswa will be admitted into the system of community corrections, whereby he is expected to comply with a specific set of parole conditions for the rest of his natural life. He will be assigned a monitoring official to render supervision duties.
“Normal parole conditions will apply, such as being restricted to his magisterial district. He is also not allowed to have contact with the family of the victim and shall not change his residential address without informing the monitoring official.
“To be emphasised, parole placement forms part of the total rehabilitation programme in correcting the offending behaviour and may include continuation of programmes in the system of community corrections,” Nxumalo said.
He explained that the decision to grant parole was done in compliance with the law.
“In compliance with the Correctional Services Act 111 of 1998, Mboniswa was considered for parole placement having served the minimum required time. The parole placement process started from the preparation of the profile by the Case Management Committee (CMC) and consideration by the Correctional Supervision and Parole Board (CSPB).
“The National Council for Correctional Services (NCCS) also dealt with the profile before its submission to the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services for a decision. The Minister is empowered by Section 78 of the Correctional Services Act 111 of 1998 to make a determination on those sentenced to life,” Nxumlalo said.
SIU files leave to appeal in Telkom case
The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) is expected to file an application for leave to appeal a High Court judgement which deemed its authorisation to investigate the affairs of Telkom as invalid.
The judgement was delivered last month after the unit was authorised through a proclamation by President Cyril Ramaphosa to investigate allegations of “serious maladministration, malpractice, and possible corruption” at the telecommunications company.
“The High Court found that Telkom is not a state institution and therefore, the SIU could not investigate allegations of serious maladministration, malpractice, and possible corruption in the affairs of Telkom.
“After consulting with our legal team, the SIU is of the opinion that there is reason for an appeal,” the SIU said.
The unit insists that the court must “give a fuller picture of what constitutes a state institution as this can set a legal precedent” on which institutions it can investigate.
Currently, government directly holds a 40.5% shareholding in Telkom with a further 15.3% shareholding through the Public Investment Corporation.
“It is important that the issue of the “state institution” must be decided and settled. If this is not clarified, it may create an unwelcome precedent that some public institutions may inadvertently be shielded from investigation by the SIU,” the unit concluded.
Court finds traffic officer guilty for soliciting a R200 bribe
The Mokopane Magistrate Court has found a Mokopane traffic officer guilty for soliciting a R200 bribe from an under-cover agent.
Vincent Madiga recently appeared in court on corruption charges after he was arrested in May 2019 along the N1 in the Limpopo province.
“During the court proceedings audio and video evidence was provided. Upon completion of the proceedings, the court concluded that the state had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, therefore finding Madiga guilty on all charges laid against him.
“This was despite the defence challenging the constitutionality of the video evidence. The matter was postponed to 29 September 2023 for pre-sentencing procedures,” the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) said on Monday.
The RTMC has called on citizens to report suspected acts of fraud, corruption, and malfeasance to ntacu@rtmc.co.za or by WhatsApp to 083 293 7989.
