TWO UNLICENSED FI****MS RECOVERED IN ELDORADO PARK, MOTHER ALSO ARRESTED

Eldorado Park SAPS have arrested a man after recovering two unlicensed fi****ms at a house in Laguna Street, Extension 9, Eldorado Park.

The man was arrested by police Crime Prevention members working alongside Gauteng Traffic Wardens.

According to police, officers acted on crime intelligence information about a man allegedly carrying an unlicensed fi***rm in a black sling bag outside his home.

Police spokesperson Sergeant Fezeka Khobo says officers spotted a man matching the description provided and approached him.

She says the suspect allegedly ran into the house when he noticed the police vehicle approaching, prompting officers to give chase.

Khobo says officers recovered a black single-shot pistol with its serial number filed off from the sling bag.

A further search of the house led to the recovery of a second fi***rm, described as a homemade fi***rm, hidden between a mattress and the bed base.

The suspect allegedly resisted arrest, while his mother is accused of pushing officers as they attempted to apprehend him.

Khobo says the mother was also arrested for allegedly assaulting police officers and interfering with their duties.

The man is expected to appear before the Kliptown Magistrate’s Court soon, facing two counts of possession of an unlicensed fi***rm.

Police have urged anyone with information about illegal activities in Eldorado Park to contact the local police station on 011 946 0300 or 082 444 3001.

BASIC EDUCATION MINISTER DENIES ALLEGED LEAK OF MATRIC ENGLISH PAPER 3

Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube has dismissed claims that the 2026 National Senior Certificate English Paper 3 examination was leaked, describing the allegations as malicious fake news generated using artificial intelligence.

The claims come as more than 964,000 candidates are writing their matric examinations across the country.

Gwarube was at Thembisa West Secondary School to monitor the writing of English Paper 3.

She confirmed that examination security systems were operating smoothly, with no leaks or other irregularities reported across all provinces.

The Department of Basic Education has assured learners, parents and the public that the integrity of the 2026 matric examinations has not been compromised.

The department says it will report the fake news poster to law enforcement authorities for investigation and possible prosecution.

It has urged the public not to believe or circulate unverified information that could create panic and disrupt candidates during the examination period.-

JOZIFM AND OBC EYETHU CONCLUDE GROCERY DONATION DRIVE WITH SIX FAMILIES

JoziFM and OBC Eyethu are wrapped up their grocery donation initiative today.

Six families received grocery donations as the campaign officially concluded on Friday.

The campaign highlights the impact of community-driven efforts in supporting vulnerable families and bringing hope to households in need.

The initiative started earlier this week, with several families across Soweto receiving food parcels to help ease their household challenges.

The gesture has brought emotional moments, with some beneficiaries breaking down in tears as they expressed their appreciation for the support from the two entities.

Today the team led by JoziFM’s Dr. Mpho Mhlongo, began its visits in Jabulani before proceeding to Chiawelo and Naledi Extension 2.

In Chiawelo, beneficiary Zodwa Mpala was left in disbelief after learning that she had been selected to receive groceries.

During an interview with JoziFM reporter Oscar Masiya, Mpala became emotional as she reflected on the unexpected gesture.

Meanwhile, in Naledi Extension 2, 78-year-old Gogo Elizabeth Jaftha warmly welcomed the team into her home as she received the donation.-

ONE SUSPECT ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION OF HIJACKED DELIVERY MOTORCYCLE IN KLIPSPRUIT WEST

Eldorado Park SAPS Crime Prevention Unit and Crime Prevention Wardens have arrested a man for possession of a hijacked delivery motorcycle in Klipspruit West, while three other suspects remain at large.

The suspect was along St Helena Street.

According to police, officers were patrolling Klipspruit Valley Road when they were approached by a food delivery driver employed by one of the well known restaurant in Eldorado Park, who reported that he had been hijacked by four men, two of whom were allegedly armed with fi****ms.

The suspects allegedly took his delivery motorcycle, and the victim directed police to where they had gone.

Police say they later spotted four men pushing a motorcycle along St Helena Street, with one of them sitting on it and controlling it.

Police spokesperson Fezeka Khobo says the victim identified the motorcycle as the one he used to deliver food.

"When the suspects noticed the police vehicle approaching, three allegedly fled, while officers apprehended the man who was on the motorcycle."

"The arrested suspect admitted that he and his friends had taken the motorcycle by force from a Nando’s delivery driver," said Khobo.

He was detained at Kliptown for further investigation and is expected to appear before the Kliptown Magistrate’s Court.

The other three suspects are being sought.

Anyone with information about criminal activities in the Eldorado Park policing area can contact the station on 011 946 0300 or 082 444 3001. Anonymous tip-offs can also be made through the SAPS Crime Stop hotline on 08600 10111.-

PIKITUP URGES RESIDENTS TO PROTECT WHEELIE BINS AGAINST THEFT

Pikitup is urging Johannesburg residents to protect their 240-litre wheelie bins against theft and practise responsible waste management as its bin distribution campaign continues across the city.

The City of Johannesburg’s waste management entity recently reached its Roodepoort Depot, where residents who had previously applied for bins received them.

Pikitup Chief Operations Officer Meyrick Ramatlo says stolen bins contribute to illegal dumping, increase operational costs and delay the replacement of bins.

Residents are encouraged to keep their bins in secure places and avoid leaving them outside their properties overnight when waste collection is delayed. They have also been warned against disposing of hot ash in the bins.

Pikitup is further urging residents to separate recyclable materials, including paper, cardboard, plastic and cans, from general household waste to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.

Meanwhile, Discovery resident Johnny Campbell welcomed the distribution process, saying he had waited three months to receive a bin.

The first phase of the campaign has already reached the Zondi and Marlboro depot areas, with distribution continuing in other parts of Johannesburg.-

RAMAPHOSA LIFTS SUSPENSION OF NATIONAL POLICE COMMISSIONER FANNIE MASEMOLA

President Cyril Ramaphosa has lifted the precautionary suspension of National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola, who is expected to resume his full duties on Monday, 19 October.

Masemola was placed on precautionary suspension in April this year after appearing in the Pretoria Magistrates’ Court on charges relating to the contravention of the Public Finance Management Act.

The National Director of Public Prosecutions issued instructions on 15 September to withdraw the charges against Masemola.

The Pretoria Magistrates’ Court formally withdrew the charges on 22 September.

In a statement issued by the Presidency, Ramaphosa welcomed Masemola’s return to his duties and thanked Lieutenant-General Puleng Dimpane for serving with distinction as acting National Police Commissioner during his absence.-
