🚨 DID YOU KNOW? 🚨
You can be arrested for harassing foreigners in South African hospitals!

Health Minister Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi has reminded the nation that Section 27 of our Constitution guarantees healthcare for everyone — whether South African or foreign, documented or undocumented. This includes reproductive health services like contraception, maternal care, and safe pregnancy termination.

Speaking at a recent health policy event in Pretoria, Motsoaledi said there’s no legal room for discrimination in hospitals. Denying or intimidating someone because of their nationality is not only against the law — it goes against Ubuntu and puts public health at risk.

Human rights groups such as Doctors Without Borders and the Treatment Action Campaign have welcomed the reminder, saying many migrants face stigma and admin barriers that stop them from getting care.

While some critics worry about strain on the health system, the Minister insists:

> “A healthy population benefits everyone.”

The Department of Health is now working on plans to improve access for vulnerable communities while preparing for the National Health Insurance (NHI) rollout.

💬 What do you think — should hospitals treat everyone equally, or should SA citizens come first?

Bobby Motaung Speaks Out: “No One Is Forced to Support Kaizer Chiefs” 🟡⚫️

Kaizer Chiefs’ Football Director Bobby Motaung has set the record straight after online rumours claimed he pressures fans to back the Soweto giants.

Speaking firmly but calmly, Motaung said he’s never forced or threatened anyone to support Amakhosi, reminding South Africans that football is about passion and personal choice.

> “The PSL has 16 teams — everyone should support the club they love. Chiefs’ history and success speak for themselves. We win fans with love, not intimidation.”

His comments come as the 2025/26 season kicks off, with Chiefs facing tough competition from clubs like Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates, and Cape Town City.

Motaung also called for unity and fair rivalry among supporters:

> “Let’s rebuild together. Criticism is fine, but let’s keep it respectful. Football should unite, not divide.”

💬 What’s your take? Are rivalries in SA football getting too personal?

🚨 Whistleblower Gunned Down After Uncovering R109 Million PPE Tender Scandal 🚨

The murder of anti-corruption hero Babita Deokaran still sends shockwaves through South Africa. Babita, a senior Gauteng health official, was assassinated outside her home in August 2021—just days after flagging suspicious payments and irregular tenders linked to Tembisa Hospital during the COVID-19 PPE procurement frenzy.

One of the tenders under the microscope was worth R109 million and tied to Royal Bhaca Projects, a company owned by the late Chief Thandisizwe Diko—husband to former presidential spokesperson Khusela Diko. The deal was later scrapped by the Special Investigating Unit, but the scandal left behind deep public distrust and unanswered questions.

While six suspects are currently on trial for Babita’s killing, the biggest mystery remains—who ordered the hit, and was it connected to the corruption she exposed?

South Africans are demanding justice, accountability, and stronger protection for whistleblowers, so that no one else pays the ultimate price for speaking the truth. 💔

🚨 Operation Dudula Members Arrested in Soweto 🚨

Several members of Operation Dudula were taken into custody yesterday and are currently being held at Diepkloof Police Station. The arrests happened during an incident at a local hospital.

The movement, which earlier this year launched a nationwide drive to stop undocumented foreign nationals from using public healthcare services, has faced mixed reactions — with some communities showing support, while government and human rights groups have condemned their actions.

Operation Dudula president Zandile Dabula claims police have been changing the charges against the members, starting with allegations of impersonating immigration officers or SAPS officials, and later shifting to trespassing and public violence.

💬 What’s your take — is this justice being served or a crackdown on activism?

🚨 Gauteng Woman Sparks Outrage After Refusing to Open Case Following Kidnapping 🚨

A Gauteng woman has shocked her community after refusing to press charges following a chilling three-day kidnapping ordeal.

She was reportedly abducted on her way to church, leaving her family and neighbours fearing the worst. For three days, there was no trace of her—until she was unexpectedly dropped off unharmed at a petrol station.

Members of the public rushed to help and alerted police, but despite sharing parts of her story, she made it clear she did not want to open a case.

Her decision has left many baffled and worried that the kidnappers could strike again. While police say they respect her choice, it limits their ability to act. Some locals believe she may be scared of retaliation, while others think she might know the people involved—though nothing has been confirmed.

Authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious information immediately.

📢 What do you think? Should the police continue investigating even without her opening a case

🚨 SA’s Most Wanted — Finally Behind Bars! 🚔

In a massive multi-province police sweep nicknamed Operation Nightfall, South Africa’s top fugitives have been taken down in style! These were no small-time crooks — we’re talking masterminds behind cash-in-transit heists, hit jobs, and cross-border drug smuggling.

💰 What was seized?

R3.6 MILLION in cash

Military-grade weapons

Counterfeit passports

A fleet of luxury cars

Authorities are calling this a major win in the fight against organized crime. But experts warn — this might be just one battle in a much bigger war.

🔴 R11 Million a Day Spent on Foreigners in SA Prisons – Minister Pieter Groenewald Speaks Out!

🇿🇦 South Africa is spending over R11 million every single day to house more than 24,000 foreign nationals in our prisons. That’s more than R4 billion a year of taxpayer money!

🗣️ Correctional Services Minister Pieter Groenewald says this is unsustainable and is pushing for urgent action. In the next episode of Politics Weekly, he lays out his plan to deal with the crisis:

📌 Key Proposals by Minister Groenewald:

Send foreign criminals back to their home countries to finish their sentences

Negotiate prisoner exchange agreements with nations like Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Nigeria, and others

Reduce prison overcrowding and improve safety for both inmates and correctional officers

Bring Correctional Services back into the State Security Cluster for better coordination with Police and Home Affairs

📊 Did you know?

SA’s prisons house over 154,000 inmates

24,000+ are foreign nationals—many undocumented or in the country illegally

It costs R463 per prisoner per day

💸 With rising unemployment, poverty, and crime in our own communities, Minister Groenewald asks: Can South Africa afford to carry the cost of housing thousands of foreign criminals?

📺 Don’t miss Politics Weekly as the Minister breaks down this national dilemma—and what he plans to do about it.

💬 What are YOUR thoughts? Should South Africa deport foreign criminals to serve time in their home countries?

🚨 SANDF Issues Warning After Viral Video 🇿🇦

A recent viral video has sparked public debate after it showed a female soldier dancing and un******ng while in uniform. The video, which spread widely on social media, prompted the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) to release an official statement.

🔊 According to SANDF, members of the military are expected to uphold discipline and respect the uniform they wear. The statement strongly warns soldiers against posting videos on social media while in uniform, reminding all personnel to conduct themselves with dignity and professionalism at all times.

⚠️ “Uniformed personnel must refrain from behavior that could bring the Defence Force into disrepute,” the statement read.

This incident has raised questions about personal freedom versus professional responsibility. While some believe soldiers should be allowed to express themselves online, others argue that discipline must come first — especially when in uniform.

💬 What are your thoughts? Should soldiers be allowed to post personal content while wearing the SANDF uniform?

🇿🇦⚓ MK Party Urges Ramaphosa to Allow Russian Ship Access to Cape Town

The MK Party has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to step in after a Russian naval training ship, The Smolny, was reportedly blocked from allowing its sailors to disembark in Cape Town.

The vessel, which arrived in South African waters on 5 August as part of an international tour, was allegedly visiting Cape Town to restock and replenish. The MK Party has condemned what it calls the “so-called Government of National Unity’s (GNU)” decision to deny access, saying it could damage South Africa’s long-standing ties with Russia.

Party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela stated that Russia has supported South Africa for over 60 years and that the country should not undermine such a relationship. He criticised the GNU for risking diplomatic tensions and called on Ramaphosa to urgently address the issue.

The MK Party has also reiterated its firm support for Russia and opposition to what it calls "Western imperialism," stressing the need for a multi-polar global order.

No official comment yet from the Border Management Authority (BMA), but this story is developing.

🗣️ What are your thoughts on this? Should the ship have been granted access?
