Mbalula must account for Pongola's horror crash

After the horrific accident that killed 21 people, including 19 school children, between the truck and a bakkie on Friday, calls for minister Fikile Mbalula to account are mounting.

This comes after a twitter user who goes by the name of shared messages he has been sending to minister Mbalula, begging for help on that same road. In some cases, he even shared videos with the minister, indicating how dangerous that road is, as truck drivers operate lawlessly.

A tweet from June 13,2019 read: " I am from a small town called Pongola in Northern KZN, we have N2 crossing in the middle of the town, there are no robots to control the traffic and it is only a matter of time before a huge accident that will take many lives happen..."

He further mentioned that, their pleas to the municipality to repair the road and install traffic lights fell on deaf ears.

As early as three weeks ago in August 26,2022, again pleaded with minister Mbalula and SANRAL for help. He wrote
" Trucks are killing us on the Pongola N2 , no traffic cops manning this route except local traffic cops when trucks get to town. We request your urgent intervention." No reply came from either the minister or SANRAL

However, in the contrary, a celebrity known as Anele Mdoda wrote a tweet to the minister about potholes that damaged two of her tyres, the minister responded immediately instructing Anele to DM (direct message) him.

Black Twitter now suggests that, should been a celebrity, those 21 people would still be alive, because the minister would have taken him seriously.

Meanwhile, the driver who fled the scene after the accident, handed himself over to the police on Saturday. He is expected to appear before the Pongola Magistrate’s Court on Monday.

It is expected that the community will come in numbers to see the mass murderer who cut the lives of many young children short, MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs in KwaZulu-Natal, Mr Sipho Hlomuka will be in attendance in court.

Ramaphosa finally speaks after a long wait as delegates couldn't give him a chance

Newly elected ANC KwaZulu-Natal chairperson Sboniso Duma had to plead with delegates on Sunday evening to allow President Cyril Ramaphosa an opportunity to speak and address plenary.

Amid confusion as to whether or not, the president would be attending the KZN provincial conference, eventually he arrived at the Olive Convention Centre

However, drama started as soon as Ramaphosa got out of his car, he was greeted by Duma. Other ANC members who had gathered outside the venue started singing "Wenzeni uZuma."

The trend continued when Ramaphosa went inside plenary to address the conference's 1608 voting delegates.

The President was greeted by boos inside and Wenzeni uZuma chant continued, this time, louder. It was only when Duma took the mic to plead with his comrades to show "revolutionary discipline" that the delegates finally gave Ramaphosa audience.

Young mom fear for her life as abusive partner vows to kill her and their children.

Dudu Khumalo has become a regular at Manguzi Police station as she frequently reports various cases stemming from r**e, assault, intimidation and all sorts of abuse. However, none of these cases have ever made it to court.

What should have been a fairytale of two childhood lovers, has become a matter of life and death. Ms Khumalo told Black Excellence Network about her horryifing ordeal. She says she has been living with Dumisani Mthembu who works as a Switchboard Operator at Manguzi hospital for 15 years, they share 4 children together, of which only 3 are alive as one died as a result of physical abuse when she was pregnant.

"I am so afraid for my life, he tells me all the time that he will kill me and my children, I have broken ribs and scars from broken bottles he hit me with on my head. Sometimes I wish he could just kill me once, this is too much." - sorbed MaKhumalo.

Black Excellence Network called Manguzi Police station and spoke to Captain Mkhathini who is quite familiar with the matter. He said he is well aware of Dudu's matter but there's nothing he can do because Dudu has opened several cases and later comes back to withdraw them.

"She was here yesterday, I showed her all her case files, we are waiting for her to come open another case if she wants, but the problem is that she goes back home and make out with the suspect, then come back here to withdraw the case, we can't do anything, it is her choice. "-Said Captain Mkhathini

MaKhumalo says Dumisani would r**e her several times when he returns from drinking at the tarvens.

"He comes here and just pull my panties off, shove his hands inside me and r**e me. Recently he even took my panties to a guy he accuses me of dating, he beat up the guy claiming he sleeps with me. He says that I am a pr******te and I sell my services for R5, he has evidence from my alleged customers." - she said.

It is further reported that Dumisani would frequently chase her and the children away from home, and later beg them to return.

"We were fine before, but since he started working at the hospital, he changed. He doesn't want me to work. I tried selling clothes before and he would beat me up and say I am embarrassing him to his friends, and I should stop." - painfully narrated Dudu.

Dumisani did not want to speak to Black Excellence as he constantly dropped the call when our journalist introduced herself to him.

Black Excellence Network is following up on a new case Dudu just open which include R**e, assault and intimation.

“He asked me wangifunani wena?” which could translate to "why are you always after me."? - claimed Mchunu

“Hitting me in a public space, I was carrying a stick and I got an opportunity to hit him back and very hard. I wondered what is going to happen because now amongst us some had to be superior and think about the rest of the South African people,” said the Azikhale sensation who's also the president of Amabhinca nation.

“Although he was sitting, he was extremely drunk. Even before I responded ... he hit me. Nomagugu Simelane, the MEC of health, rose up and said don't do this ... She was in tears because she knows exactly what damage the premier was causing hitting me in front of everyone,” alleged Ngizwe.

Malena calls for Judge Zondo to be discredited for campaigning for Ramaphosa’s second term

EFF leader Julius Malema has added his voice to calls for chief justice Raymond Zondo to be held to account for suggesting President Cyril Ramaphosa’s election saved the country.

In part 4 of the state capture report released two weeks ago, state capture inquiry chairperson Zondo said the National Treasury would have suffered irreparable damage had it not been for the ANC conference in 2017 that elected Ramaphosa to take over from former president Jacob Zuma.

Malema is echoing ANC heavyweight Tony Yengeni's words, Yengeni also accused Zondo of endorsing Ramaphosa’s re-election and has taken up the matter with the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), arguing that Zondo breached the code of judicial conduct.

“Zondo is a factionalist who supports Ramaphosa’s second term. That’s why he saw it necessary for him to put that Ramaphosa’s election in the ANC rescued us from where we were. He’s effectively saying if you don’t elect Ramaphosa this December, we are going to be in trouble,”Malema told the the media on Monday.

He further lambasted the remarks, saying they were an endorsement for Ramaphosa’s second term when the party holds its elective conference in December.

The red berets' leader said Zondo had entered political terrain and as the result, he should be taken to task, as was done to his predecessor Mogoeng Mogoeng.

Key state witness in the murder trial of Senzo Meyiwa, has reportedly been shot dead.

Police have confirmed the death of the retired police official, Brigadier Philani Ndlovu who was the former provisional head of SAPS and one of the first to arrive at the crime scene of where Senzo was shot. It is alleged that he was shot in an ex*****on style.

Meyiwa was shot in the chest during an alleged house robbery at the home of the mother of his then girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo.

Ndlovu's death comes just days after defence advocate, Malesela Teffo approached the courts to have the trial brought forward, claiming witnesses were in danger as they were receiving death threats.

He was mentioned during the testimony of the first state witness, Sgt Thabo Mosia as part of the first forensic team to collect evidence from the Vosloorus home where the shooting occurred. During cross-examination Mosia told the court that he was briefed by Brigadier Ndlovu when he had arrived at the scene, hours after the shooting.

Defence advocate, Malesela Teffo poked holes in Mosia’s testimony alleging that Brigadier Ndlovu had tampered with the crime scene ahead of Mosia’s arrival.

One key question was why did Ndlovu arrive around 8pm but only called Sgt Mosia more than 3 hours later, what was he doing all that time?

Ndlovu was expected to be called as a state witness to assist the court in establishing what exactly transpired on that fateful October evening.

The trial is expected to resume at the end of the month with Mosia being cross-examined by the defence for the fifth accused.

Five men are currently standing trial for Meyiwa’s death.

Julius Malema has announced his party intends to establish its own labour union.

Economic Freedom Fighters commander in chief Julius Malema, has promised the winds of change for South African labourers. He addressed thousands of supporters at a May Day rally in Middelburg, Mpumalanga, on Sunday.

"We are preparing to do a union, and not a Mickey Mouse union, who is in cahoots and in bed with the employer.

"That union will never sell out. That union will always be on the side of the workers," said the determined Malema

Malema threw a jab at the ANC's alliance partner, Cosatu, and pledged the EFF would overtake Cosatu.

According to Malema, South African unions were taking the side of employers, adding this created a vacuum for the workers - a vacuum the EFF intends to fill.

Through its labour desk, the EFF has been helping workers notwithstanding their political party affiliation. Led by Hlengiwe Mkhalipi, the labour desk allows walk-ins at the party’s headquarters by workers experiencing issues.

Malema said despite its successes, the party is continually being taken to court by companies claiming the EFF does not have the jurisdiction to challenge worker-related issues as it is not a labour union.

Hence he intends to officially register his labour desk as a union.
