Deputy President Paul Mashatile’s trip to Japan cost South African taxpayers a staggering R2.3 million, with R900,000 reportedly going to accommodation for him and his wife.

Let’s put that in perspective:

¥1 = ± R0.12

So R900,000 = ± ¥7.5 million, that’s high-end executive suite money in Tokyo.

The average hotel stay per night in Tokyo ranges between ¥10,000 – ¥30,000 (R1,200 to R3,600).

Was this truly diplomatic duty or a 5-star escape at public expense?
And more importantly, who’s really paying the price in the end? 🇿🇦

"“My Husband is cheating on me with my married friend..

I left my phone on record and left home for like an hour to hear who my husband has been talking to because I figured he was ¢heating. Always talking to someone but once I knock on the door, he hangs up and claims he wasn’t talking to anyone.
I found out the lady in question happens to be my bosom friend.

She comes around the house often and we chit chat. My kids call her aunty, she’s married too so sometimes she brings her kids over and we do visit them as well.

We have been more than sisters since senior high school. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years or even more. She’s the only person in this world I call a friend and share my secrets with and vice versa.

Her husband is a great man. Very successful, even more successful than my husband. They seem to have everything I’m still praying for but I don’t envy her and I’m not attracted to her husband.
I am still shocked this is the lady sleeping with my husband at my back and at the same time cheating on her husband. She is someone that is even more calm and thoughtful than myself. I’ve always listened to her.

She has everything, she is even the one that gives me money sometimes.
My husband has nothing and all she could think of is to st@b me in the back by sleeping with him?

She was literally the one forcing things. Telling my husband she can’t ever leave him that he should stop talking about the fact that she’s my friend and just let her make him happy in bed.
She was promising never to let me know and begging him to just let them continue that does she know what it took her to even approach her and a whole lot.

My husband sounded uncomfortable, though he is still doing it and keeping it a secret from me. From what I heard, it’s been going on since two years ago. They have sezz at our place, theirs and even hotels.

She said and I quote, “if your wife d!£s today, I would gladly divorce my husband for you”.
I love my husband and I treat him right because despite everything, he’s loving and caring. I won’t choose another man over him. We don’t beg to eat, we have all we need, the kids are in school and we are building so we are average or a little above it. He’s hard working.
I’m just disappointed and I know raising this would bring a lot of chaos so I don’t know how.

First, my friendship with her is going to come to an end, and I don’t know if that’s going to make things between her and my husband worse or end. I don’t know how my husband and I are going to end up afterwords because I’m so hurt and mad at him.

It’s been almost a week since I found out and I’m just pretending with everyone and planning what to do. So many things on my mind but, I don’t want to go to prison so I’m keeping my cool. Please, how do I handle this? I don’t want to behave in a way to now push my husband into her arms. I want to tell her husband but I don’t want to drag my husband into their home and cause her divorce. She may now have time to chase my husband if she’s divorced.”

I’m just confused, but I really won’t let this continue. How do I go about it? Help please"

Cannabis business owners in Mpumalanga are calling on the South African government to work more closely with local producers to boost the economy and create jobs. They say the industry has strong potential but is being held back by regulatory barriers and limited market access. Stakeholders argue that government support, clear policies, and partnerships are essential for the growth of the cannabis sector and economic development in the region.

In 2016 - 2018, John Steenhuisen criticised Donald Trump’s leadership. Fast forward to 2025, he met with Trump during the U.S. visit, sparking debate over whether the DA leader has shifted his stance or is simply engaging in political diplomacy.

"The classic, and perhaps one of the most embarrassing moments for Americans was when Donald Trump pulled out a picture from the Congo and claimed it was a burial site for victims of his imaginary ‘white genocide’ in South Africa.

Imagine, America — with all its intelligence capabilities — having a president who not only embarrasses himself but his country too, lying on international television like that."

Their sentences will run concurrently, resulting in an effective five-year prison term. The Independent Police Investigative Directorate confirmed the sentencing.

R5 Million PPE Scandal Ends in Seized Assets

What started as a government role with the responsibility to protect public health during the pandemic has ended in asset seizures and looming criminal charges. A former Mpumalanga health department secretary is now at the centre of a R5 million PPE procurement scandal that has shocked the public.

According to investigators, the official allegedly steered inflated COVID-19 PPE contracts toward companies linked to them, violating procurement laws. The money, instead of going towards lifesaving equipment, was funnelled into personal luxuries.

The Hawks and the Asset Forfeiture Unit have since swooped in. Among the seized assets is a sleek residential property in the upmarket Sunninghill area of Johannesburg, worth R1.5 million. Alongside it were three vehicles: a Toyota Quantum, a Hyundai light delivery van, and a Volkswagen Golf, collectively valued at R1 million.

Altogether, the seized assets amount to approximately R2.5 million—believed to be proceeds of corruption during a time when the country was battling one of its worst public health crises.

As the investigation continues, the former official could face serious criminal charges. What remains is a story of how public trust was betrayed for personal gain, and how justice is catching up, one asset at a time.

"A group of older men meet in Washington to gossip about me. No significant amount of intelligence evidence has been produced about white genocide. We will not agree to compromise our political principles on land expropriation without compensation for political expediency." - Julius Malema

Is it fair for Trump to blame the entire South African government for remarks made by opposition leader Julius Malema?
