SANTACO URGES PEOPLE TO REPORT BAD TAXI BEHAVIOUR.

People are urged to stay alert after reports of taxi drivers allegedly forcing passengers out of private vehicles and into minibus taxis. SANTACO has stated that it is aware of the incidents, does not condone any unruly behaviour, and urges affected passengers to open cases with the authorities.

It is a criminal offence and passengers are advised to note the taxi’s registration, colour, and identities of those involved. These will assist police in arresting perpetrators quickly and put them behind bars.

STUDENT BRUTALLY STABBED IN WOMEN’S MONTH HORROR.

By: OratileTsheilane

The brutal murder of 21-year-old education student, Onalenna Selebogo, has sparked outrage and heartbreak across the North West.

Onalenna was tragically found stabbed to death in her Rustenburg flat on 3 August, in the middle of Women’s Month. Police confirmed that her boyfriend, Walter Tshehla (28), later surrendered himself and has since appeared in court on murder charges.

Described as a standout student who achieved five distinctions and was due to graduate next year, Onalenna’s bright future was cut short. Her grandmother urged young women to avoid abusive relationships, stressing the urgent need to recognise the red flags of domestic violence.

The North-West University (NWU), where she was studying, expressed deep sorrow over the loss, saying Onalenna’s death underscored the continued scourge of gender-based violence (GBV) in South Africa.

Today a group of community members, students, and activists gathered outside the Rustenburg Magistrates Court in a peaceful picket, demanding justice for Onalenna and calling for harsher measures against perpetrators of GBV.

KGOSANA MOTEPE TO SERVE 15 YEARS IN JAIL FOR R**E.

Mooketsi Motepe, a traditional leader from Phokeng, has been arrested after failing to hand himself over to correctional services to begin serving his 15-year prison sentence for r**e.

Motepe was convicted by the Tlhabane Regional Court in 2020 after being found guilty in 2019 of violating a woman who had been offered a place to sleep at his residence. During the trial, it also emerged that he had attempted to offer the victim R150,000 to withdraw the case, but she refused.

After his conviction, Motepe successfully applied for leave to appeal and was released on bail pending the outcome. However, his appeal was dismissed earlier this month, and he was expected to report to authorities to begin serving his sentence. Instead, he delayed.

Over the weekend, NPA confirmed that Motepe was arrested and is now in custody.

LOOKING FOR MY FATHER’S FAMILY

My name is Windy Moyo (35) from Phalaborwa. I am searching for my father’s family, believed to be from Moruleng or Ramokokastad. My late father, Jacob Moyo, was born in 1960 and worked as a carpenter in Phalaborwa. He became ill, and my aunt fetched him to the North West, where he later passed away in 2004. I did not attend the funeral and have since lost contact with the rest of the family.

If anyone has information about my relatives, please contact me on 064 108 8965.

RANGERS SAVE TOURIST AFTER ELEPHANT CHARGES AT MADIKWE RESERVE.

A French tourist was seriously injured after a female elephant charged at a group of visitors at Impodimo Lodge, Madikwe Game Reserve, on Sunday. The incident occurred when tourists ignored warnings from their tour guide and approached the elephants too closely, provoking the female animal to attack.

The injured man suffered a broken rib on his right side, a dislocated right knee, and a fractured right leg. He was airlifted to a Johannesburg hospital and is currently in stable condition. According to reports, the tourist slipped and fell while attempting to flee from the charging elephant.

Tour guides at the reserve had cautioned guests against following the elephants, especially females with calves, due to the risk of aggressive behavior. When the elephant charged, several guides intervened by firing warning shots, successfully rescuing the injured tourist from further harm.
