SWGC TO OPEN APPLICATIONS FOR 2027 OCCUPATIONAL AND NC(V) PROGRAMMES

South West Gauteng TVET College (SWGC) says applications for its 2027 Occupational and NC(V) programmes has officially opened, giving prospective students an opportunity to apply for a range of education and skills-development programmes.

The college has urged prospective students and stakeholders to familiarise themselves with the available programmes and application requirements.

However, applicants planning to enrol for NC(V) programmes have been advised to take note of significant changes resulting from the national rationalisation of NC(V) programmes, which will come into effect from January 2027.

As part of the changes, NC(V) Finance, Economics and Accounting at Dobsonville Campus, NC(V) Management at Technisa Campus, and NC(V) Marketing at Dobsonville and Technisa campuses will be discontinued.

The NC(V) Education and Development programme at Roodepoort Campus will also be discontinued.

The college says the programme will, however, continue to be offered as an Occupational Programme.

In addition, NC(V) Office Administration at Dobsonville and Technisa campuses will be discontinued.

The changes will also affect campus admissions. Dobsonville Campus will no longer admit new NC(V) students, while Technisa Campus will continue offering NC(V) Tourism.

Roodepoort Campus will no longer offer Education and Development at NC(V) level.

SWGC says the changes form part of efforts to ensure that its education and training offerings remain aligned with industry needs and provide students with relevant skills for the workplace.-

THREE ARRESTED, EXPLOSIVES RECOVERED IN MATHOLESVILLE OPERATION

Three suspects have been arrested and a significant quantity of explosives recovered during an intelligence-driven operation in Matholesville, in Roodepoort.

The operation was conducted by the South African Police Service in Gauteng, working with private security companies and other law-enforcement stakeholders.

The multidisciplinary team, comprising SAPS Crime Intelligence, the Ivory Park Task Team, , private security companies and the West Rand Explosives Unit, acted on information about a suspected explosives supplier allegedly linked to individuals involved in ATM bombings, cash-in-transit robberies and illegal mining.

Two men and a woman were found at a premises in Matholesville, where police recovered 88 safety fuses, 62 blasting cartridges and approximately 400 metres of detonating cord, with an estimated street value of R160,000.

The three suspects, who are Zimbabwean nationals, were arrested for possession of explosives and are expected to appear in court soon.

A white Toyota Etios displaying false registration plates was also seized for further investigation.

Acting Gauteng Provincial Commissioner, Major General Fred Kekana, commended the multidisciplinary team for the successful operation.

“ATM bombings and CIT robberies remain a serious threat in Gauteng. This operation demonstrates the importance of collaboration between SAPS, private security and other stakeholders in disrupting organised criminal activities,” said Kekana.

Investigations are continuing to establish whether the suspects are linked to other ATM bombing, cash-in-transit robbery and illegal mining incidents.-

DIEPKLOOF HOSTEL LEADERS CAMP AT JOHANNESBURG WATER OFFICES OVER HALTED SEWER PROJECT

Leadership at the Diepkloof Hostel has decided to camp at the Johannesburg Water offices in protest over the suspension of a sewer installation project at the hostel.

The project was stopped in May 2026, while the cleaning of mobile toilets was also halted last month, reportedly because a contractor had not been paid.

Hostel leaders say the situation is slowly becoming a health hazard for residents.

One of the leaders, Sibonelo Khoza, says the mobile toilets have not been cleaned for some time, prompting them to approach Johannesburg Water to demand answers over what they describe as inhumane treatment.

Khoza says residents want the City of Johannesburg to restart the sewer installation project, which he says will ultimately restore their dignity as hostel dwellers.

He says the leadership is not fighting with the City, but is demanding what they believe they are entitled to as residents.-

An assault case involving former Jozi FM's board member Dr. Thulani Mhlongo has been postponed to 15 September for the matter to be transferred to the Regional Court.

LATE-CLOSING TAVERNS RAISE SAFETY CONCERNS IN BRAMFISCHERVILLE

Taverns operating beyond permitted hours in Bramfischerville are raising concerns among residents, particularly over the safety of women walking home in the early hours of the morning.

According to information from the community, women are often seen walking alone on the streets after leaving taverns and shebeens.

It is alleged that criminals take advantage of the situation, targeting and robbing unsuspecting victims before fleeing the scene with their belongings.

A number of cases have reportedly been raised involving women who have allegedly been attacked while making their way home at night.

Brenda Mawela from the Community Safety Office says community patrollers and CPF members are working to combat crime in the area.

However, she says tavern owners also need to play their part by ensuring their establishments comply with operating hours and by helping to keep patrons safe.-
