Politics/Governance | White Flags Raised for Mahlophe and Khauoe as ANC Mayoral Race Heats Up in Matlosana



Klerksdorp - The 2026 Local Government Elections race for the City of Matlosana is beginning to attract increasing political attention, with current Executive Mayor Fikile Mahlophe and former Executive Mayor Kagiso Khauoe emerging as names increasingly viewed as favourites for the ANC mayoral race.

The white flags being raised around the two candidates come from Maklera Magazine readers and followers, who have identified Mahlophe and Khauoe as their preferred choices among the ANC’s shortlisted mayoral hopefuls.

Both Mahlophe and Khauoe are among the eight ANC mayoral hopefuls who underwent the party’s selection interviews as part of preparations for the upcoming Local Government Elections.

Mahlophe enters the contest with the advantage of incumbency and current executive leadership of the municipality, while Khauoe brings previous experience as Executive Mayor of the City of Matlosana.

The emerging sentiment among Maklera Magazine readers and followers therefore presents an interesting political contest: will the ANC opt for continuity under Mahlophe, or could it turn to the experience of former mayor Khauoe?

For now, no final ANC mayoral candidate has been officially confirmed publicly. But if the views reaching Maklera Magazine are anything to go by, the white flags are already being raised for Mahlophe and Khauoe.

The final decision will ultimately rest with the ANC's internal candidate-selection and deployment processes.

Cyber Crime | SAPS Warns Community About Facebook Market Place And Bank Card Scams



Potchefstroom: 22 AUGUST 2026 – The South African Police Service (SAPS) in North West is warning residents to remain vigilant against scams targeting people through Facebook Marketplace and shopping malls.

Police say criminals are using counterfeit money when buying goods online, while others allegedly pose as retail or loyalty programme representatives to obtain victims’ bank cards and PINs.

Facebook Marketplace Scam

SAPS warns buyers and sellers to be cautious when dealing with strangers on online marketplaces.

Residents are advised to:

- Conduct transactions in safe, public places.
- Verify the identity of the person they are dealing with.
- Carefully check cash received for possible counterfeit notes.
- Avoid transactions where buyers create unnecessary pressure or urgency.
- Use secure and verifiable electronic payments where possible.
- Do not hand over goods until payment has been independently confirmed and reflects in your bank account.
- Keep records of conversations, profiles and transaction details.
- Never spend or circulate suspected counterfeit money. Report it to police.

Bank Card and Loyalty Programme Scam

SAPS is also warning shoppers about individuals allegedly approaching customers at malls with fake promotions, discounts or loyalty programme offers.

Victims may be asked to hand over their bank cards or enter their PINs into suspicious portable devices.

Police advise residents to:

- Never disclose your bank card PIN.
- Never allow your bank card to leave your sight.
- Do not enter your PIN into unfamiliar devices.
- Verify promotions directly with the retailer using official contact details.
- Shield your PIN when using an ATM or payment terminal.
- Monitor your bank account and transaction alerts regularly.
- Contact your bank immediately if your card is stolen, retained or used without your permission.

SAPS North West urges residents to report suspected criminal activity to their nearest police station and provide as much information as possible.

Residents are urged to stay alert, verify offers independently and never allow pressure or attractive discounts to compromise the security of their money or banking information.

Share this warning with family and friends to help prevent others from falling victim to scams.
