Hi Crime Watch, please hide my ID. I thought all further developments at the wetland situated between Chatsworth Road and Twickenham Road in Borrowdale West had been halted pending the legal proceedings. Today, earth moving machinery was there doing works. So why is the developer back on site today?
Are we now saying that court orders can simply be disregarded? Are we saying that Chinese developers are above the law?
@DougColtart, are you aware of what is happening on the ground? Have there been any new developments, court rulings or approvals that have not been communicated to the public?

A Zimbabwean man identified as Leon (35) was arrested in South Africa while attempting to board a flight to Russia, where he intended to join the Russian military as a mercenary and participate in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
Leon was arrested on the night of 10 November 2026 and he appeared before the Kempton Park Magistratesโ Court this morning, 11 November 2026.
South African authorities acted on intelligence gathered during an investigation. A multidisciplinary team then carried out an operation that led to the suspectโs arrest.
He is expected to face charges under South Africaโs Regulation of Foreign Military Assistance Act 15 of 1998, which regulates the provision of military assistance to foreign states and organisations.

Election is over. Others have not been seen. They have disappeared.
Gogo is on the ground delivering water. Others are out drinking.
Herman Mashaba wants you to hate this woman because she is white.
He will not succeed. Never. Ever.
The election may be over but we are still helping communities that are without water. Today we delivered another water tank to residents in Freedom Park, where taps have been dry.
Joburgโs water crisis didnโt stop when the votes were counted and neither will we! ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ

How sad is this
#dandarostreets A frustrated man in Masvingo was captured dumping his academic certificates, including his diploma and degree papers, following years of struggling to secure employment.
The man graduated from Midlands State University in 2017 with flying colours but says years of job hunting have left him with nothing to show for his hard-earned qualifications.

This is Johannesburg under an ANC mayor but itโs a โwhite mayorโ you are scared of. Who can do any worse than this?
I donโt see anybody protecting anyone from demolitions.
โThere is no government law that says houses should be demolished. We are actually protecting citizens from demolitions,โ says Local Government and Public Works minister Daniel Garwe at a press conference.

Water hyacinth covering approximately 46% of Hartbeespoort Dam is posing a major challenge to search and rescue efforts for missing skipper Jan Mokonyane. The dense vegetation is restricting boat access, with vessels getting stuck and engines overheating. More than two weeks after the boat capsized, Jan's family is appealing to government to provide specialised equipment and additional resources to help locate him.

While the Malawian President, Arthur Peter Mutharika, spent almost a month receiving medical treatment in South Africa, his fifth such trip since he won the election in September last year, this is what was happening at home. The situation is getting worse by the day.
Malawi is gripped by a serious nationwide fuel crisis, and it is deepening, not easing. Happy Jere, chair of the Fuel Retailers Association of Malawi, says diesel ran out first, for about three weeks, before petrol followed.
In Blantyre, motorists are sleeping at petrol stations overnight, and taxi drivers have been left with no work. Malawians are also paying some of the highest fuel prices in the world. At its September review, the Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) kept petrol at K5,619 (about US$3.27) a litre and diesel at K5,863 (about US$3.41).

Government has drafted rules to regulate inDrive, Bolt and other e-hailing apps in Zimbabwe. Under the draft, apps would need accreditation and a local office, and commission would be capped at 18%. Surge pricing would be limited to 2x, and drivers would have to be Zimbabwean citizens aged 21+ with an e-hailing permit. Cars would be capped at 10 years old, and no car could go live without ZIMRA tax clearance. Passengers would need ID verification to pay cash or ride at night. Figures are still being finalised. Scan the QR code for the full document. The Ministry invites stakeholders and members of the public to review it

The Auditor-General of South Africa yesterday reported that the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture's irregular expenditure increased from R10 million to R67 million over the past financial year, alongside historical misreporting that required retroactive adjustments. Total unresolved irregular or wasteful funds across portfolio entities have been flagged at roughly R800 million.
How much more time does Minister McKenzie need to set things right in his department? For now, it rather looks as if matters are moving in the wrong direction!

Iโm struggling to identify the problem GoZ is trying to solve. All it seems to be doing is making it vastly more difficult to operate on inDrive.
The genius of inDrive is that drivers are rated by customers, rather than government bureaucrats. Its real value lies in allowing ordinary people, particularly university and college students, to supplement their incomes. And some bureaucrat has struck this down!
Even taxation is straightforward, since every transaction is centrally recorded. So what exactly is the government trying to fix? Besides increasing the cost customers will have to pay?
New proposed rules for inDrive:
Only drivers who have had a valid driverโs licence for at least five years will be allowed to drive for e-hailing services like inDrive under new rules proposed by Govt @MinistryofTID.
Other proposals include a minimum driver age of 21, special permits for drivers and new passenger safety requirements.
Govt says new rules are needed to strengthen oversight and compliance with tax and transport laws.
Hereโs part of what Government is proposing:

Good morning X!! ๐โ๏ธ๐ซก
This โฌ๏ธ is exactly why I support Tatjana in her decision to represent the Netherlands, instead of South Africa!!
And I'd support any other athlete who decides the same!!
This is the two-tiered system that we have to live with every single day in SA!!
One of these women is a multiple Olympic medal-winning athlete; the other is a "superfan".
One of these gets sponsored to travel the world, and all her expenses are paid by the government and agencies to sit on the sidelines and hope the camera shows her for a few seconds.
The other has to swim for another country now because her own country apparently doesn't have enough money for her elite training or to reward her for the achievements and pride she's brought this nation.
Make it make sense.

Outrageous. What are people supposed to do if the council is incapable of providing an essential need!
#dandarostreets Gweru City Council has reportedly ordered residents to demolish their JoJo water tanks within seven days, describing them as illegal structures. In a letter dated November 5, 2026, the council warned that failure to comply would result in demolition at the ownersโ expense, with residents also being asked to produce permits.
The move has sparked criticism, with questions being raised over why residents struggling with prolonged water shortages should face threats for installing tanks to store water. Critics argue that council should prioritise restoring reliable water supplies rather than targeting households trying to secure this essential resource.
