COUNCILLOR IN COURT FOR TWO COUNTS OF ATTEMPTED MURDER

A 34-year-old Ward 29 Councillor from Pienaar,  Dumsane Christopher Gonrover Masilela, appeared in Kanyamazane Periodical Court on two counts of attempted murder following a violent altercation stemming from the death of a minor.

According to information received, on 20 November 2025,  a father from Pienaar confronted his 16-year-old daughter after noticing that she appeared distressed and frequently cried. The daughter allegedly informed him that a boy from her school had been abusing her.

The father then drove with his daughter to the boy’s residence in their neighbourhood to establish the identity of the alleged perpetrator. Upon arrival, the boy was not at home. The father returned to his residence and later dropped off his daughter.

Later that day, the father discovered that his daughter had committed suicide. He cut the rope she had used to hang herself and rushed her to the nearest clinic, where she was certified dead.

At approximately 19:30, while the father was at home mourning, he heard noises coming from the sitting room. When he went to investigate, he found members of his late wife’s family present. They confronted him about why they had not been informed of his daughter’s passing, stating that they also had a right to be notified.

An altercation then ensued between the father and his late wife’s family. During the confrontation, a councillor, known to the family as a family friend (wife’s family), allegedly became involved. The councillor reportedly drew a firearm and fired a shot, grazing the father as well as a neighbour who was attempting to intervene and stop the fight.

The two victims were taken to hospital for medical treatment.

On 21 November 2025, two cases of attempted murder were opened at Pienaar SAPS. A police investigation led to the arrest of the councillor.

The case will be back in court tomorrow for the continuation of the bail application.

CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT @KASIBCNEWS Please see attached soundbites in English and Afrikaans by Dr Chris Hunsinger MP @KASIBCAUDIO  The DA will request an urgent Parliamentary Portfolio Committee hearing on the ongoing and growing breakdowns of service at South Africa’s major airports. Minister Creecy and the senior management of ACSA must be called to report to committee on the scope of the brewing crisis, and their plans to address it. It is unacceptable that flights are being grounded at South African airports due to failures by entities within the Department of Transport. It simply cannot continue. This week, flights were delayed and diverted at Cape Town International Airport due to a fuel pump failure under the management of Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). Earlier this month, alarming reports revealed that ACSA has fuel supply at OR Tambo International Airport only until the end of January 2025, raising grave concerns about operational stability in February.
