AGU busts foreigner with suspected stolen gadgets

The Free State Anti-Ganng Unit (AGU) arrested a foreign national in possession of suspected stolen items in St Helena, Welkom, today.

According to the Lejweleputswa police spokesperson, captain Stephen Thakeng, this police team received information in the early hours of the day, at around 03:45.

“The team operationalised intel which led them to a house in Hamlet street, St Helena,” added Thakeng.

Upon arrival, the police found 44-year-old foreign national in possession of suspected stolen items. The suspect could not provide documents or receipts to be in possession of those items.

As a result, the police arrested him for possession of suspected stolen items.

The items included an HP Slimline and an Intel Core 17 Raidmax.

The suspect will appear before the Welkom Magistrate Court tomorrow,” concludes Thakeng.

Copper cable robbed at gunpoint, manhunt launched

More than 10 African men allegedly robbed large quantities of copper cables from the Matjhabeng Sub Station in Welkom at gun point just passed midnight, today.

According to the Lejweleputswa police spokesperson, captain Stephen Thakeng, two security personnel were overpowered by a group of African men while guarding the sub station.

“The perpetrators allegedly kicked them with booted shoes, robbed them a pellet gun and a company cellphone. They then tied the security guards with cable ties,” added Thakeng.

Using unknown instruments, suspects cut large copper cables and fled the scene.

One security guard managed to untie himself and walked to the Welkom/ Virginia road to seek for help. As a result, a security vehicle came to his aid and summoned an ambulance.

“The other security guard was admitted to one of the hospitals in Matjhabeng.

Following these events, the police registered a case of theft and tempering with infrastructure for further investigation.

As a result of this crime, the Welkom CBD, parts of Doorn, Bronville, Mandela Park, Extension 15 and Thabong Sewerage Treatment Plant became some of the places affected.

“Anyone with information to trace these armed robbers can contact detective warrant officer Elliot Khutsoane of Welkom Detective Services on 0609859330. Alternatively, one can use the Crime Stop number, 0860010111,” concludes Thakeng.

INCREASE IN FLU CASES ACROSS THE COUNTRY

Influenza cases at sentinel influenza-like illness (ILI) and pneumonia surveillance sites have been steadily increasing since week 15 (starting 10 April 2023) (figure 1). Private laboratories have also detected increasing numbers of influenza cases, and NICD has received reports of influenza clusters in schools and workplaces.
The 2023 influenza season started in week 17 (week starting 27 April 2023) when the influenza detection rate (3-week moving average) breached the seasonal threshold and remained on low activity for two consecutive weeks in the pneumonia surveillance programme (figure 1).

The increase in case numbers has been identified in all 6 provinces where surveillance is conducted. As of 28 May 2023, the most commonly detected subtype and lineage is influenza A (H3N2) (146/272, 55%), followed by influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 (116/272, 43%) and, influenza B Victoria (3/272, 1%). 181 samples have subtyping results pending.
Influenza A(H3N2), A(H1N1)pdm09, and influenza B are common seasonal influenza strains in humans. Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, which is sometimes incorrectly referred to as “swine flu” has been one of the circulating seasonal influenza strains following its emergence in 2009. The term “swine flu” should not be used as it causes unnecessary panic. The clinical course of infection and management of this strain is similar to other influenza strains.

Although the majority of people with influenza will present with mild illness, influenza may cause severe illness, which may require hospitalisation or cause death, especially in individuals who are at risk of getting severe influenza illness or complications. Groups at increased risk of severe illness or complications of influenza include pregnant women, people living with HIV, people with chronic illnesses or conditions like diabetes, lung disease, tuberculosis, heart disease, renal disease and obesity, the elderly (65 years and older) and children less than 2 years old. These groups should be encouraged to seek medical help early.

As the influenza season has started, the influenza vaccine remains the primary means for preventing seasonal influenza infection (figure 1). Ideally, the vaccine should be administered before the influenza season (March to April). However, even if the season has already started, it is never too late to get vaccinated, especially for individuals who have high risk of severe influenza illness or complications. To prevent contracting or spreading the influenza virus, the following measures are recommended: avoid close contact with sick individuals, stay home when sick, cover mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, regularly clean hands, avoid touching the mouth, eyes, and nose, and clean and disinfect commonly used surfaces. Clinicians should include influenza as a possible diagnosis.
