No raid conducted at Dudu Myeni's house: police call out fake social media post

Police have dismissed claims the national intervention unit (NIU) raided the KwaZulu-Natal home of the late former SAA chair Dudu Myeni. This comes after a social media post claimed: 'The NIU raided Dudu Myeni's house and allegedly found R18m in a safe.' Police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said no raid was conducted. 'The SA Police Service (SAPS) warns against the spread of fake news about a NIU raid in which R18m was found in a safe at a house in Richards Bay. 'The SAPS calls for responsible social media reporting and for users to verify information before sharing. 'No raid was undertaken by any unit.' Myeni died in 2024 after battling cancer. She served on the SAA board from 2009 until 2017, while Jacob Zuma was president, and was its chair for the last five of those years. Her role at SAA was marred by fraud and corruption allegations stemming from the commission of inquiry into state capture and she was said to have been instrumental in the crippling of the airline. She allegedly received R300,000 from Bosasa, supposedly for the Jacob Zuma Foundation. TimesLIVE

Quick response foils theft at Alberton North filling station

A theft was foiled in Alberton North on July 21, when two men arrived at a filling station in a silver Opel Corsa. The driver of the vehicle stole several items, but the reaction officers of CPS Security responded quickly to a panic signal and apprehended the suspect. The control room alerted Alberton SAPS, and the owner of the filling station opened a case. The suspects were handed over to the authorities, and the stolen items were recovered and returned to their rightful owner. Alberton SAPS station commander Colonel Olven Letloenyane outlined the importance of security. 'Security companies are helpful when responding promptly to cases like this. The suspects will remain in custody as they are charged with theft,' said Letloenyane.
