JUST IN | Apartheid-era minister Adriaan Vlok, 85, dies at a hospital in Pretoria

Free State police have rearrested a prisoner who escaped while in hospital for treatment.

According to departmental spokesperson Motalatale Modiba, the latest person to succumb to their injuries is a health worker. Four people were initially reported missing, and two of them have now been confirmed dead. Two are still missing.Lesufi confirmed that the four are all related and that the Gauteng provincial government would help repatriate the bodies back to Malawi.Free State man arrested for allegedly raping wife's 12-year-old sister

The 32-year-old man was taken into custody after 18 people died when gas leaked from the truck he was driving and exploded on 24 December.The media waiting at the Boksburg Magistrate's Court on Wednesday was told by an official from the National Prosecuting Authority that there was no case against the driver as provincial police said there was not enough evidence against him.

In his affidavit filed on Tuesday, Ramaphosa says Zuma's purported private prosecution is unlawful, unconstitutional and invalid, and asks the court to set it aside.The Independent Police Investigative Directorate has launched an investigation after a suspected robber was shot and killed in the Western Cape.

The victim had suffered multiple stab wounds. He was later identified as 18-year-old Thabo Mokwena from Shushumela. Limpopo transport department spokesperson Tidimalo Chuene, said the accident happened just before the Baobab Toll Plaza on the N1 North in Vhembe District. The beaches were among those temporarily closed due to water quality problems blighting some of the country's top beaches over the holiday season.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the gas tanker got stuck trying to drive through a low bridge and impact resulted in the explosion. The tanker was apparently travelling from Richards Bay to Botswana.Death toll in Boksburg blast now at 15 - Health Minister Joe Phaahla

Hopeful he had app the answers to his creator to explain why he killed our brothers & sisters during their era

He might get a state funeral just watch the space

Inja leyi why this guy was still alive vele?

Ok

South Africans are very insensitive, hypocritical, and ignorant, among other things.

Feed pitbulls with him

should've died in jail

All same with the cANCer only difference is that cANCer don't kill us physically, they killing us mentally & that is worse. We can't cry now cANCer said let's forgive, it's useless now for hate speech. We should focus on our own. There are still some alive from that era we quiet

The scenario of Bitcoin going to zero does not exist anymore. BTC is playing much the same role as gold did in the early days of banking. You all should follow. MarkMaynardq he knows stuff when it comes to BTC and other Cryptos, he's platform have been really changed my life

Anyway who cares....?

You should have just kept quiet. Now you are rubbing salt on a wound

“Apartheid-era minister” 🤐

One by one we getting closer

Despite $BTC being 75% below the ATH of $69K, it is still 50% above the price it held this time 3 years ago. Look at the bigger picture, Bitcoin will suprise us follow MarkMaynardq He’s a super underrated Bitcoin holder who have been helping a lot to make money through signals

Simza_396225 Monster 👹

Life came so easy when I started investing with Maynard . Thanks to everyone who share his testimony how they got paid from His company. which I’ve tried with Mr Mark Maynard. He’s the best, I say a big thanks to MarkMaynardq I received R123 000. After 6 days.Thank you sir

Probably Anc government was paying them a salary every month.

Gweba Somandla ngokuthanda kwakho.

Tsek, who cares

The title should have read 'JUST OUT....' I wrongly thought this was a benjamin button situation of note and this guy was an extra wrinkled baby. Thanks. Now get back to not writing stories on how shit John Tory is, because his buddy owns shares in your parent company.

Thank God

May his soul rest in a pit.

Of course I do understand your frustration. Askies hleee 'Great People' No comment it means 'No comment'. Let's focus on other important matters. We really needs to be very smart when coming to this kind of negative behaviours. Bringing our great leaders on this. Let's move on

What was the point it reporting this?

Batho_Dikobe come see comments

Why refer to him as apartheid minister? It just stirrs things up again

Good riddance to bad rubbish

Asbonge

I think we deserve to know all people who served under apartheid government, just to know them. This thing f knowing them only when they are late is not OK. Is there anyone with their list?

Shame to the NPA. The devil's are, 1 by 1, dying as innocent people.

Is a danko

How have we been keeping such people in the country?!!

Hell has received a legend , enjoy your stay in hell big man 🤝

Gud riddens let him go answer for his sins

Hell is waiting for this evil Murderer 😈 😤 Adriaan Vlok. MHSBIH

Good riddance to bad rubbish! Masepa!

Some people here are really senile. I love how many comment but have never actually been in the apartheid Era. It's in the past. It's history for a reason. Near 30 years later and people are still moaning about injustice. You fail to realize your Beloved ANC IS doing the same.

Rest in peace good sir! Sure it was hell watching the collapse of South Africa.

💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

Good

I guess that's how Justice is served in South Africa for apartheid victims.🙏🏿🙏🏿

Good news

May his soul rest in peace. May the Mighty Lord forgive us our sin as we forgive those who wronged us🙏

He was able to live 85 here in SA, gosh imagine how many more new Apartheidis are being brewed here in SA, seeing that they can still live untouched this long

Apartheid was so recent that we literally still lived and live amongst these people.

Apartheid could have been a good thing for South Africa. If the black and white people back then started to learn each others languages and cultures we would have been an amazing colorful and food amazed country with many riches.

Why didn't he die in prison for his murderous and callous act against blacks

Yahambi nja

At least, he lived a long life. Most of his victims were not so lucky. He also didn't account for the murders he ordered on black people. Must be nice! Dichomi tsa Mandela! 🤌

Taking all the apartheid secrets to the grave, sad indeed!!

Umbhende abelele kuwo uRyt wona?

Congratulations

Who cares? Why is this even newsworthy?

Even at his funeral, they must mention that he IS an apartheid era dead minister, even in “heaven” that god must welcome him as an apartheid era dead minister

Number 1 law enforcement agents. No illegal immigration. For that I will forever honour apartheid.

During apartheid Vlok planned and implemented drastic repressive measures, including hit squads, carrying out bombings and assassination of anti-apartheid activists.

Good news,

He must go to hell,where his race belong,vokof bloody hond!

Why's this even news? There are better things you can report on.

There are many stories that could be reported.

Blessed are those who die in loving arms of those they used to torment. May his soul rest in peace.

Mines not to judge. This link gives an update to the man. Be informed, judge for yourself if you must.

He's an apartheid stalwart to some.

Wtf. Always with apartheid. Why not have headline. Old minister dies of old age. But no lets make sure the Apartheid word is used atleast once a day.

God riddance to bed rubbish,may the rest of his family young and old follow him quick in a hurry

PW Botha and De Klerk waiting for him with a ministerial position in hell

🥳🕺🏻🎉🎊

The end of another chapter in our life . Rest in peace.

at what age did he become the minister?🤔 my grand mother died 12 years ago and she was 92 then. I'm trying to figour out something about ANC and Apartheid rulling. We might have faced apartheid mara guys ANC are more oppressing than apartheid. Sorry if you feel hurt.

Why are the comments disabled on Facebook?

Sould have been ANC members

Adriaan Vlok was Minister of Law and Order 1986 to 1991. Under his ministryany black activists were thrown out of the 11th floor from John Vorster Square Police Station. My uncle was one of the victims of Apartheid's state of emergency

Death has done us proud

I’m convinced that there’s no such thing called karma, they all die naturally (old age)

Let him die 7 more times

The stalwart and gallant hero of ANC is dead. Seaparankwe isithwalandwe of ANC o fapane le pula

The Jewish would have hanged him... Just saying
