“My taxi brother has an Ostomy. He drives a taxi. He has a stoma and he doesn't have enough ostomy bags. Think about that for a second. He has to work. He has to drive. And he has to put food on the table.

But what happens when the bag he has is finished? There isn't a cupboard somewhere that he can just walk into and collect another one. There isn't a pharmacy around the corner that he can afford to buy them from. So people are forced to improvise.....

And this is the part nobody wants to talk about. This is what happens when you have an ostomy in South Africa. You don't get to stop having a stoma because you can't get a bag.

Your body doesn't wait for payday. Your stoma doesn't care that the healthcare system failed you. You still have to get up tomorrow and go to work. And today... I met one of those people. My taxi brother.

If you have bags sitting unused at home because you no longer need them, please don't throw them away. Someone is literally trying to work without one. Let's get them to the people who need them.”

- According to the white guy….

Shebeshxt’s case has been postponed to 17 May 2027, when his trial is expected to begin.

The Lekompo musician is facing 22 charges, including attempted murder, assault, robbery, unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, culpable homicide and reckless driving.

The State plans to call 22 witnesses.

Meanwhile, Shebeshxt’s new lawyers say they intend to apply for the magistrate’s recusal, claiming he is biased against their client. The allegation has not been determined by the court.

The major question now is whether Shebeshxt’s legal team can secure bail before the May 2027 trial.

A mother who lost her seven-year-old son in the Vaal scholar transport crash broke down in tears after the driver accused in the crash, Ayanda Dludla, was granted R3,000 bail.

The crash happened on 19 January 2026 when the scholar transport minibus collided with a side-tipper truck on the R553 Golden Highway. Fourteen learners died and three others were injured.

Dludla faces 14 counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder and several road-traffic-related charges.

The grieving mother says the bail decision is especially painful because Dludla lives in the same community, meaning she may have to see him regularly while she continues to mourn her son.

Dludla must report to police every Friday, may not drive any vehicle while the case is ongoing and may not interfere with witnesses. His trial is expected to take place in November.
