JUST IN | Joburg man who fled to Brazil after girlfriend's 2011 murder found guilty

The man who was extradited from Brazil after fleeing just days before standing trial for the murder of his ex-girlfriend has been found guilty.

The South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions says an indictment which seemingly implicated Kelly Khumalo and others in the murder of former Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa was a draft internal opinion that holds no merit. In the National Prosecuting Authority document, which includes an unsigned indictment, Khumalo, her mother Gladness, her sister Zandi, Meyiwa's two friends, Tumelo Madlala and Mthokozisi Thwala, Zandi's boyfriend Longwe Thwala and Maggie Phiri are identified as those who should be prosecuted for Meyiwa’s murder and defeating the ends of justice.

A wildfire that started on the Lourensford Estate in Somerset West has been brought under control, following heavy rainfall overnight in the Cape Winelands. Firefighting teams were able to stand down on Sunday night after rains aided their efforts, said Cape Winelands District Municipality spokesperson Jo-Anne Otto.

"The suspect allegedly reported that he was returning from work when he was approached by three unknown men outside his house in Savanah Park. He was held up by the suspects who demanded his service pistol with 15 rounds of ammunition," said Ngcobo. The incident occurred at approximately 22:30 while the City's LEAP Reaction Unit was busy with crime prevention duties in Prince George Drive, Steenberg.

"He informed us that the driver of the vehicle had run away into the bushes, however, no one else was on the scene, and we suspect that he is the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident," Jones said. Shireen Essop, 32, who was abducted almost three weeks ago has been found and reunited with her family.

According to police, he had accepted a ride request from individuals in Parkwood, when he was robbed, beaten and dragged to a nearby bush by two men, before residents got wind of what was happening. The Namibian Presidency says there is no truth in allegations that President Hage Geingob inappropriately used his office to assist his African counterpart President Cyril Ramaphosa in an alleged cover-up of a cash heist at Ramaphosa's game farm.

MUNICIPAL FINANCE: ActionSA Joburg councillor in hot water for ‘meddling’ in tender processesJohannesburg’s economic development MMC Nkululeko Mbundu is embroiled in a municipality tender row. The ActionSA councillor remains in office while officially under investigation for allegedly breaching the Municipal Finance Management Act. As a mother of two kids I have battled alot with my financial state to the point of begging from friends just to survive,until I started Bitcoin trading with the help of Allison_Grillo I made a successful withdrawal of R 200,000 with the help of Allison_Grillo. markedw666 The MMC enjoys support from all South Africans who are tired of the ANC's corruption and looting. This is nothing but a plot by the corrupt to continue stealing from the public purse. This is nothing but a blatant witch-hunt. It's clear the MMC suspects something untoward taking place and is therefore not trusting of the process being followed.
