Sensational bombshells dropped about police corruption, Senzo Meyiwa's murder and Kelly Khumalo's involvement
@DiphiriBen10 Adv Teffo alleges that the head of the correctional facility called him into his office during his imprisonment and offered him R 45million to drop the Senzo Meyiwa case and concentrate on his career.
@Am_Blujay 11 people involved in the Senzo Meyiwa case are dead so far according to Adv Teffo.
@SimthembileMab3 According to Adv Teffo, it was not an intruder during a robbery, but rather an accidentally shot by Kelly Khumalo that killed Senzo Meyiwa, a claim that contradicts the official version of events. He says about 11 people have died because of the Meyiwa case and he is now in the line of danger. 'I won't die. If they want me dead, they must ask God first.' He broke down in tears, saying his father died while he was arrested for this case. He further claims that the five accused are being used as scapegoats, suggesting that the State is trying to hide the truth about Meyiwa's murder.
He also says former Minister Bheki Cele was the part of drug cartel in Johannesburg 🔥 yooh the man is dropping bombs.
@officialtwinny Adv Teffo is not lying, ask yourself why SAPS never destroys drugs like they do with alcohol? Criminals are having a hard time. Thanks to General Mkwanazi and Adv Teffo for exposing them.
@ThisIsColbert Adv Teffo: 'I am NOT accusing Lieutenant-General Elias Mawela (Gauteng police commissioner) of being a drug supplier, I KNOW he's doing that.'
@Nqobs04 Adv Teffo needs to be protected. He will not rest until there's justice in that Senzo Meyiwa case.
@_AfricanSoil Adv Teffo is fighting; what's going on? He is talking about dockets moving around, wrong people writing letters; NPA not following the law and correct processes He's dropping people's names of lawyers and prosecutors.
@Solopearl Adv Malesela Teffo tried to expose SAPS corruption, but his unorthodox approach made us doubt him. Until recent revelations proved him right to a certain extent. His dramatic arrest on live TV was meant to silence him.
@ZaBornfree General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has balls, he is a Provincial commissioner but tackling National Drug Syndicate issues.Adv Teffo just implicte Commissioner Mawele, Bheki Cele and Kelly Khumalo.
@ZikhaliBandile We should vividly appreciate whoever is exposing the Dark Secrets of the SAPS. Adv Teffo, Gen. Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and Arthur Fraser. It is clear now that some SAPS Top officials are the biggest security threat to our sovereignty and freedom. An ACT is highly needed.
@AngeloPhungula Adv Teffo on Podcast And Chill saying he's gonna fill up the gaps left by General Mkhwanazi
@SirDavid_Dashe Adv Tefo has suffered. I no longer trust the judiciary, SAPS, and the media. The media made him look like a crazy psychopath and we fell for it.

Community leaders call for action against illegal cannabis stores in Chatsworth
Residents said outlets were "freely selling" cannabis products close to schools and religious organisations. Image: Reuters COMMUNITY leaders in Chatsworth are urging authorities to take action against the proliferation of illegal cannabis stores, highlighting concerns about public safety and the impact on local youth. They said outlets were "freely selling" cannabis products close to schools and religious organisations. This comes soon after Mmamoloko Kubayi, the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, confirmed that regulations required for the Cannabis for Private Purposes Act to be implemented would be finalised by March 2026. In a parliamentary response to DA MP Tobias Chance, Kubayi said the Act could only be implemented once her department had received feedback from all concerned departments. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ These include the departments of health; agriculture; trade, industry and competition; social development; small business and development, the Presidency, and the SAPS. Yugen Pillay, chairperson of the Chatsworth Community Policing Forum (CPF), said despite the use of cannabis being decriminalised for private use, the public needed to remember that the sale of cannabis was still illegal. 'People are openly selling cannabis. The law regarding the sale of cannabis is quite clear. I have tried many times to get law enforcement to act on this, but they are still awaiting direction from their legal department. A directive that was unfortunately not forthcoming. 'It seems that the legal departments cannot decipher the legislation, and in the meantime, these stores are mushrooming all over. 'The use of cannabis can act as a gateway drug, and because it is so easily available, more and more people are using it. We are calling on the police to clamp down on these stores and start shutting them down," said Pillay. He said SAPS had issued a stern warning that the establishment of illegal dispensaries or outlets, online sites and social media platforms, which are marketing and selling cannabis and cannabis-related products to the public, remained illegal, except where specifically allowed in terms of the Medicines and Related Substances Act. 'Despite warnings, cannabis stores continue to open everywhere. Some of these illegal businesses, purporting to operate legally, are also being sold to members of the public as franchises authorised to deal in cannabis and cannabis-related products. 'Dealing in cannabis remains a serious criminal offence. Police are mandated to and will act, not only against businesses that sell cannabis illegally, but also against the customers who buy these products." Cyril Pillay, the chairperson of the Chatsworth Spiritual Crime Prevention Forum, said: "The increase in cannabis stores in our community is adding to all the social ills we are facing. It is compounding our problems and leading to the degradation of our society. This is also adding to the social economic challenges that already exist. 'People are complacent and due to poor monitoring, we have more than one cannabis store per area. We need proper monitoring and more police operations to curb this." Denzil Devan, a community leader in Mobeni Heights, said the sharp increase in cannabis stores across communities highlighted a significant gap in legislation. 'While liquor outlets are bound by strict zoning laws, such as maintaining a set distance from schools, cannabis stores are exploiting the absence of similar regulations, allowing them to operate virtually anywhere. This loophole poses serious concerns for public safety and urban planning,' he added. Devan said it was more concerning that outlets have included smoking lounges and cannabis bars. 'Many of these outlets have evolved into cannabis smoking lounges or cannabis bars, which likely goes far beyond what Parliament intended when it moved to decriminalise cannabis for personal use and regulate products like cannabis oil and hemp. Without clear policy direction and enforcement, we risk creating unregulated environments that normalise public consumption and weaken community standards." Jakes Singh, the former chairperson of the Chatsworth CPF, said various cannabis stores have opened near schools and religions institutions over the last two years. 'Not enough checks are done. While a few of the stores are operating legally, most are illegal. Tuck-shops are even selling cannabis. Stores are mushrooming everywhere. Raids are done, and regulators are visiting to check, but it is not done all the time. Too many loopholes are leading to the increase of cannabis stores,' said Singh. Colonel Booysie Zungu, the spokesperson for metro police, said the rapid increase of unlicenced cannabis stores and dispensaries within the municipal area was a serious concern. 'We are working together to identify and dismantle illegal cannabis operations, including unregistered dispensaries, storage facilities, and unlicenced retail stores. These establishments often operate outside the boundaries of national legislation, posing a threat to public health and safety. 'This is in line with our crime prevention mandate and the provisions of the Drugs and Drug Trafficking Act and Medicines and Related Substances Act. 'We are committed to enforcing municipal bylaws, disrupting illegal trade, and working to ensure that all cannabis-related businesses comply with applicable laws. We encourage the public to report suspicious activity through official channels." Dr Boitumelo Semete-Makokotlela, the chief executive officer of the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (Sahpra), said cannabis dispensaries were mushrooming and blatantly displaying copies of Sahpra licences, which were issued authorising cannabis cultivation and exporting of the cannabis flower. "Such licences do not authorise these so-called cannabis dispensaries. This is a matter of concern," said Semete-Makokotlela in a statement. 'It is highly unethical and illegal for any individual or company to claim Sahpra authorisation through forged documentation. We take this matter seriously, and we will work with law enforcement agencies to ensure that offenders are dealt with swiftly and decisively. The public must be protected from such deceptive behaviour." Sahpra warned the public to be vigilant and cautious when engaging with service providers that claimed to be licenced by the authority. Semete-Makokotlela said Sahpra wasin the process of sourcing a system that used barcoding as a means of authenticating these certificates. If you suspect that a provider is using a fraudulent Sahpra licence, you can call the authority on 0800 204 307. THE POST

KZN political killings task team did ‘tremendous work,' says Ramaphosa, but Mkhwanazi disagrees
President Cyril Ramaphosa has defended the disbanded political killings task team in KwaZulu-Natal, saying it did 'tremendous work,' before its closure. Image: IOL Graphics President Cyril Ramaphosa insists the disbanded political killings task team in KwaZulu-Natal has done "tremendous work" over the years, despite claims from police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi that the team's dissolution derailed more than 100 active murder cases. 'The political task team on the killings in KZN has been doing its work and has done tremendous work,' Ramaphosa said on Friday during a high-level meeting with the Northern Cape Provincial Executive. 'The killings then started coming down in KZN, the political killings. So the complaints that have been raised by the KZN police commissioner have to be investigated.' Mkhwanazi has accused Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, who was recently placed on special leave, of political interference and protecting criminals. He alleged that Mchunu disbanded the task team in March, effectively closing 121 active dockets, many of which are tied to politically motivated assassinations. He said the cases were stored in the office of Deputy National Commissioner for Crime Detection, Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya, who has also been placed on leave. Mkhwanazi said since its formation in 2018, the task team has handled 612 cases and secured more than 100 convictions. He said efforts to shut down the unit escalated after weapons linked to high-profile assassinations were uncovered. The top cop described the disbandment as 'a calculated move to shield a criminal syndicate embedded in law enforcement and politics.' In a December 2024 letter to National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola, Mchunu claimed the unit had 'outlived its usefulness.' However, Masemola later denied authorising the closure. Mkhwanazi also alleged that investigations exposed links between criminal syndicates and politicians, law enforcement officials, prosecutors, judges, and businesspeople. He also implicated Mchunu's 'comrade,' Brown Mogotsi, in communicating with businessman Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala, who had received a now-cancelled R360 million SAPS contract. Ramaphosa has since announced the establishment of a judicial commission of inquiry to probe the corruption allegations. The commission will be led by Deputy Chief Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga. 'Those have to be investigated, and that is why I set up the commission. I expect that this commission, whose terms of reference are now out, will work very quickly,' he said. Ramaphosa said the commission is expected to deliver an initial report within three months and a final report within six months. He added that if more time is needed, he will consult with Madlanga. 'This is a commission that everyone in the country would like to see quick answers coming from,' he said. The commission has now been officially gazetted and will focus on alleged political interference, criminal syndicates operating within law enforcement, and deep-rooted corruption in the province. Meanwhile, the Umkhonto weSizwe Party (MK Party) has filed a no-confidence motion against Ramaphosa regarding his choice to retain Police Mchunu rather than dismissing him. Instead, Mchunu has been placed on leave while a judicial commission of inquiry is set up. As a result, the party has taken its case to the Constitutional Court to contest President Ramaphosa's decision to put Mchunu on special leave, as well as the subsequent appointment of Professor Firoz Cachalia as the acting Police Minister. The party is requesting an urgent Parliament session to convene within the next two weeks to discuss and vote on the motion. [email protected] IOL Politics

Court ruling exposes systemic failures in tackling gender-based violence in Belhar
Judge Mas-Udah Pangarker said the judgment should send out a strong message that rape and gratuitous violence are not taken lightly by the courts. Image: File A man's failed appeal against his life sentence has flecked open the injustices his estranged wife suffered following a drug-fuelled rape and gender-violence attack, which brought the woman within inches of losing her life. The judgment recently made in the Western Cape High Court, again shone the spotlight on the beleaguered Belhar police station, where the victim - in a critically bruised and bloodied state - was left without help for more than two hours while attempting to report the crime. In handing down judgment, Judge Mas-Udah Pangarker said the judgment should send out 'a strong message that rape and gratuitous violence of the nature that the complainant faced, as do so many other women and children, are not taken lightly by the courts'. Judge Pangarker ordered that the current station commander at Belhar SAPS investigate the circumstances and reasons why the complainant, who cannot be named, was not promptly assisted on or about October 15, 2019.

Next Stay Close ✕ The estranged couple are parents of two minor children who now are in the care of family after the father was jailed and the mother, regretfully, finds herself back on the streets having again succumbed to her drug addiction. Enquiries to SAPS had not been answered by deadline. Judge Pangarker said the court had 'stepped beyond the traditional role as the appeal court because of the horror of the (man's) actions and the abject failure of police assistance when it was so desperately needed'. In the judgment, the judge ordered that after the station commander writes a report after their investigation and submit it to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), which should in turn then provide training to the personnel and police officers at Belhar police station on the proper and expeditious handling of rape, sexual offences and gender-based violence offences, and the treatment of victims and complainants of such offences. Judge Pangarker said the DPP may, if it deems necessary, enlist the assistance of the Commission for Gender Equality in respect of such training. 'The court was also concerned as to whether the complainant had received the necessary counselling for the trauma she suffered. Far too often victims of crime and women and children in particular, regretfully fall through the cracks of an overburdened criminal justice system when it comes to post-trial attention and ongoing counselling. We were gratified to be informed through the diligence of counsel for the State, that the complainant had received some counselling. '(The woman) of her own volition, expressed to the court that she hoped that this matter may help other victims of gender-based violence and rape, as she wished her story and experience to be heard. To the extent that we have taken this unusual approach to the matter, we hope that this judgment sends out a strong message that rape and gratuitous violence of the nature that the complainant faced, as do so many other women and children, are not taken lightly by the courts,' said Judge Pangarker. The conduct of the community, who ignored the woman's first plea for help when she approached a neighbour for assistance, was also lamented by Judge Pangarker. 'This brings me to the surrounding community and neighbours whose conduct featured in the trial. The first neighbour, who notwithstanding a desperate plea from a visibly bleeding and bludgeoned complainant who begged her for help, simply refused to assist her, explaining that she did not wish to become involved in what she regarded to be no more than a domestic squabble. 'Such attitudes may not be isolated and given the high and pervasive levels of violence in the Western Cape, some community members fear for their lives when aiding injured persons. Needless to state, the broader fight against gender-based violence is compromised by such complex realities. Moreover, the real fears harboured by neighbours and other community members and the reality of violence should not be underestimated nor ignored,' said Pangarker. Ilitha Labantu spokesperson, Siyabulela Monakali, said the judgment must serve as more than a footnote in legal history. 'Ilitha Labantu strongly condemns both the heinous gender-based violence perpetrated against the survivor and the gross negligence displayed by the Belhar police station. That a woman, bruised, traumatised, and seeking help, was made to sit in agony for over two hours without assistance reflects a staggering failure of duty by law enforcement. These are not just procedural oversights; they represent deep institutional shortcomings that routinely fail survivors of gender-based violence in South Africa. 'The survivor in this matter was doubly victimised, first by her estranged husband in a violent and brutal assault, and then by the very system meant to protect her. Such injustice is a direct consequence of a lack of urgency, care, and accountability within some arms of our criminal justice system,' said Monakali. He added that they do not believe a single round of training and an internal investigation are sufficient to remedy what has occurred. 'Training without enforcement, oversight, and a shift in institutional culture is inadequate. What happened at Belhar SAPS is not an isolated incident, it is symptomatic of a broader national crisis in policing responses to GBV,' said Monakali. He said the organisation over the past five years have proactively worked to close these gaps by offering GBV sensitisation and response training to SAPS stations across the Western Cape. Monakali said to date, Ilitha Labantu has capacitated nearly 100 police stations across various districts, recognising that many officers are not adequately trained to deal with the complexities of GBV-related cases. These trainings, accepted voluntarily by the police stations, are offered free of charge, and is done as part of their commitment to building a justice system that works for survivors. 'Survivors of gender-based violence are consistently encouraged by government, civil society, and the broader public to report incidents to the police as a vital step toward justice and protection. However, incidents such as the one at Belhar police station severely undermine those efforts. When survivors are met with delays, indifference, or secondary victimisation at the very institutions meant to support them, it discourages others from coming forward.'
