🇿🇦 NINTH WOMAN’S BODY FOUND IN EKURHULENI — FEARS GROW

A ninth woman’s body has been discovered in Dawn Park, Boksburg, east of Johannesburg, as police investigate a series of women’s deaths across Ekurhuleni over the past two months.

Police say all nine bodies were found in different parts of Ekurhuleni, including Kempton Park, Pomona, Clayville, Olifantsfontein, Rhodesfield, KwaThema and Dawn Park.

Authorities are investigating whether the cases are connected. Police have previously said similarities between some of the cases were serious enough to issue a public warning.

The latest victim has not yet been identified. A multidisciplinary team of investigators and forensic experts is working on the cases.

Police are also urging the public not to share graphic images or unverified information on social media, warning that this could create further panic.

Meanwhile, families are being urged to report missing relatives immediately — there is no waiting period to report a missing person.

The question now is bigger than one investigation:

How many more women must be lost before communities feel safe again?

💬 What do you think needs to happen urgently to protect women in Gauteng?

🇿🇦 FIVE WOMEN FOUND DEAD IN KEMPTON PARK — TWO STILL UNIDENTIFIED

A disturbing development in Kempton Park has left Gauteng asking serious questions.

Police say the bodies of five women have been discovered in the Kempton Park area, east of Johannesburg.

Four of the women had injuries consistent with sexual assault, according to police. Two of the five victims have still not been identified.

One of the victims has been identified as 38-year-old Elizabeth Moselakgomo, a runner who was reported missing after going out for a run last week. Her badly bruised body was later found in the area.

Police are intensifying their investigation, while authorities have also warned residents about online dating scams in the Kempton Park area, which they suspect may be linked to robbery and, in some cases, assault.

The investigation is continuing.

But one question is already being asked across Gauteng:

How safe are women really when they are simply going about their daily lives?

💬 What do you think needs to change to make women safer in South Africa?

🇿🇦 WATER SHOULDN’T BE A LUXURY — SO WHY ARE COMMUNITIES STILL STRUGGLING?

For many South Africans, opening a tap and finding no water has become an all-too-familiar experience.

Government is now moving to address one part of the problem.

A joint working committee led by the Department of Water and Sanitation is being established to tackle electricity supply problems affecting Rand Water's systems — disruptions that have contributed to water supply problems across parts of Gauteng and the North West.

At the same time, government has raised another serious concern:

💧 MUNICIPAL DEBT IS PUTTING WATER SERVICES UNDER PRESSURE

Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation David Mahlobo has warned about the growing debt municipalities owe to water boards and called for urgent collective action to protect the sustainability of South Africa's water sector.

But behind the technical explanations, there is a simple reality:

PEOPLE JUST WANT WATER WHEN THEY OPEN THEIR TAPS.

Water is not a luxury.

It is essential for homes, schools, hospitals, restaurants, businesses and communities.

And when supply repeatedly fails, the consequences affect everyday life.

So we want to ask South Africa:

🇿🇦 IS WATER SUPPLY A PROBLEM WHERE YOU LIVE?

💧 Do you experience frequent water outages?

⏱️ How long do they normally last?

🚰 Is your municipality keeping residents properly informed?

And most importantly:

WHAT SHOULD GOVERNMENT AND MUNICIPALITIES DO DIFFERENTLY?

👇 Tell us your city, suburb or municipality and what the water situation is like where you live.

Let's build a picture from the people themselves of what's really happening across South Africa.

🇿🇦 RAMAPHOSA HEADS TO BRICS — BUT WHAT SHOULD SOUTH AFRICA BRING HOME?

President Cyril Ramaphosa is heading to New Delhi, India, this weekend to represent South Africa at the 18th BRICS Summit.

The summit will bring together major emerging economies under the theme:

“Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Security.”

According to the Presidency, discussions will include expanding trade and investment, strengthening financial cooperation and advancing reforms of global institutions.

But for ordinary South Africans, there is a much simpler question:

🇿🇦 WHAT SHOULD SOUTH AFRICA ACTUALLY GAIN FROM BRICS?

International partnerships matter — but South Africans ultimately need to see benefits here at home.

💼 More jobs
🏭 More investment and factories
📈 More opportunities for South African businesses
🌍 More markets for SA products
💡 Technology and skills transfer
👨‍🎓 More opportunities for young people

South Africa has already demonstrated that international partnerships can open new markets. This week, for example, government announced a protocol allowing South African cherries to enter the Chinese market for the first time.

So as President Ramaphosa sits around the BRICS table, perhaps South Africans should ask:

HOW DO WE TURN GLOBAL INFLUENCE INTO LOCAL OPPORTUNITY?

Being part of an influential international grouping is important.

But its real value should ultimately be measured by whether it contributes to investment, economic growth, businesses and jobs back home.

💬 LET’S HEAR FROM SOUTH AFRICA:

Do you believe South Africa's membership of BRICS is benefiting the country?

YES or NO?

And what should President Ramaphosa make his number-one priority at this summit?

🇿🇦 DOES SOUTH AFRICA DESERVE ITS OWN SOCIAL NETWORK?

South Africa is not just another country.

It is a nation of more than 63 million people, with different cultures, communities, backgrounds, beliefs and ways of life.

We are often called the Rainbow Nation — and for good reason.

South Africa recognises 12 official languages, while its people represent a remarkable mix of cultures, traditions and religious communities.

But this raises an interesting question:

🤔 DOES A COUNTRY THIS DIVERSE NEED A SOCIAL NETWORK OF ITS OWN?

Think about it.

We already use some of the world's biggest social platforms.

They allow us to connect with friends, watch videos, follow celebrities, discuss news and discover content from almost anywhere in the world.

But were they built specifically for South Africa?

What if there were a platform where the starting point wasn't the rest of the world...
..but South Africa itself? 🇿🇦

A place where a student looking for an opportunity could discover something happening nearby.

Where a small business could reach people in its own community.

Where people could discover jobs, businesses, events, groups and opportunities around them.

Where different communities could have their own spaces while still being part of something bigger.

Where South Africans from different cultures and backgrounds could meet, communicate and understand one another better.

And where the platform wasn't simply about collecting followers...

but about building communities.

🌍 ONE COUNTRY. MANY COMMUNITIES.

Our differences don't have to separate us.

They can be one of our greatest strengths.

A South African social network should not belong to one race.

It should not belong to one religion.

It should not belong to one language, province or community.

It should belong to everyone.

Black. White. Coloured. Indian.

Christian. Muslim. Hindu. Jewish. Traditional beliefs — and those with no religious affiliation.

Johannesburg. Cape Town. Durban. Pretoria. Gqeberha. Bloemfontein — and communities large and small across the country.

Different people. One South Africa. 🇿🇦

💡 SO WHAT SHOULD A SOUTH AFRICAN SOCIAL NETWORK ACTUALLY DO?

It should help us connect — but connection alone isn't enough.

It should help people discover opportunities.

It should give communities their own spaces.

It should help local businesses reach local customers.

It should make it easier to discover jobs.

It should allow people to buy and sell locally.

It should bring events and community activities closer to the people interested in them.

And above all, it should create an environment built around community, respect and belonging.

So perhaps the question isn't:

“Do we need another social network?”

Perhaps the better question is:

🇿🇦 “DO WE NEED A SOCIAL NETWORK BUILT FOR US?”

We believe the answer is...

YES.

And that's exactly what we've been working on. 👀

🇿🇦 Introducing Ahlan | أهلاً

🇿🇦 SOUTH AFRICA’S ECONOMY SHRINKS — WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU?

South Africa’s economy has taken a step backwards.

The country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracted by 0.2% in the second quarter of 2026, after recording 0.4% growth in the first quarter.

Behind these numbers is a much bigger question:

Is South Africa’s economy creating enough opportunities for ordinary people?

For households and businesses, economic growth isn’t just a statistic.

It can mean:

💼 More — or fewer — job opportunities
🏪 Better or tougher conditions for small businesses
💰 Pressure on household incomes
📈 Business confidence and investment
🛒 How much South Africans can actually afford

South Africa has enormous potential — skilled people, natural resources, strong businesses and entrepreneurs.

But turning that potential into jobs, investment and sustainable growth remains one of the country's biggest challenges.

💬 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU:

Do you feel the economy is getting better or worse in your everyday life?

And if government could do ONE thing to improve the economy right now, what should it be?

👇 Jobs? Lower costs? Less corruption? Better infrastructure? Support for small businesses?

🇿🇦 YOUR VOTE STARTS WITH YOUR ID — ARE YOU READY FOR 4 NOVEMBER?

South Africa is heading to the polls for the 2026 Local Government Elections on Wednesday, 4 November 2026.

And today, the Department of Home Affairs has an important message for voters:

If you still need your ID — apply for it now. If you've already applied — don't forget to collect it.

Home Affairs Minister Dr Leon Schreiber has urged eligible voters not to wait until the last minute, stressing that a valid identity document is essential for participating in the upcoming elections.

🏘️ Local government affects our communities every day — from water and sanitation to roads, electricity, waste collection and other municipal services.

So as 4 November approaches, perhaps the bigger question is not only:

“Are you ready to vote?”

But also:

❓ HAS YOUR MUNICIPALITY DELIVERED?

If you could change ONE THING about your municipality today, what would it be?

💧 Water?
⚡ Electricity?
🛣️ Roads?
🗑️ Waste collection?
🔐 Safety?
💼 Local jobs and development?

👇 Tell us in the comments — and mention your municipality or province.

Let’s see what South Africans really want from their local government.

🇿🇦 RAMAPHOSA: KILLING POLICE OFFICERS IS AN ATTACK ON THE STATE

President Cyril Ramaphosa has strongly condemned the killing of police officers in South Africa, describing attacks on members of the SAPS as an attack on the authority of the State itself.

Speaking today at the SAPS National Commemoration Day at the Union Buildings in Pretoria, the President joined families, colleagues and government leaders in remembering 12 police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty between April 2025 and March 2026.

The President warned that attacks on police officers do more than take individual lives — they undermine the country's ability to fight crime and protect communities.

But this raises a bigger question for South Africa:

If the people responsible for protecting us are themselves becoming targets, what needs to change?

🇿🇦 Should government introduce tougher measures against criminals who attack police officers?

👮 Do our police have enough resources and protection to do their jobs safely?

⚖️ And what should government do differently to make South Africans — and the officers protecting them — feel safer?

👇 We want to hear from you.
