THE TRAGIC DEATH OF TETELO SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATOR @KASIBC_NEWS  Gauteng Education MEC Matome Chiloane is deeply saddened to have learned about the tragic death of a 34-year-old male educator from Tetelo Secondary School in Soweto, who was unfortunately found dead on Monday, 9 June 2025. According to reports, the educator had allegedly requested an e-hailing service on Wednesday, 4 June 2025, and subsequently went missing.

The deceased educator taught English and isiZulu to Grade 11 and Grade 12 learners at Tetelo Secondary School.  The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) mourns the loss of not only an educator, but a beacon of hope that was meant to empow...

THE REPATRIATION OF AFRICAN ANCESTORS' SACRED HUMAN REMAINS FROM EURO-WESTERN COUNTRIES @KASIBC_NEWS The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) notes the recent call by Minister Gayton McKenzie and the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture (DSAC) for public assistance in identifying the remains of South Africans who died in exile during the anti-apartheid struggle. These include liberation fighters, cultural icons, visual artists and indigenous peoples whose mortal remains lie in unmarked graves on foreign soil, despite their contributions to the freedom we all enjoy today.  While the EFF fully supports the repatriation of our heroes and heroines for dignified reburial on home soil, we are deeply concerned by what appears to be performative posturing by the Minister. The issue of ancestral repatriation is not symbolic it is a matter of national identity, redress, and historical justice.  On 24 November 2024, the EFF formally submitted to the Minister detailed information on the grave...

MOTION OF NO CONFIDENCE TSHWANE SPEAKER MNCEDI NDZWANANA @KASIBC_NEWS  The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Tshwane has resolved that it will bring a Motion of No Confidence (MoNC) against Speaker of Council Cllr Mncedi Ndzwanana, during the Council Meeting of 26 June 2025. Since 2023, Tshwane’s Council Chamber, which is meant to serve as a beacon of democracy, has been subjected to the tyranny of a Speaker of Council, who runs it like a dictator, who views Councillors as his subjects. He makes his rulings based on emotion, and neither logic nor the rules of Council. Due to this attitude, Councillors cannot participate in meetings as equal peers. His discriminatory behaviour has reached a point where parties outside of the governing coalition do not have a fair say or hearing for that matter, in Council meetings. The speaker has developed a disposition to dismiss all propositions of the DA Caucus, as legally and rationally sound as they may be, these include: Points of order; Requests f...

Mayor of Tshwane, Dr Nasiphi Moya on Menopause @KASIBC_NEWS  The ANC Women’s League is appalled by the statement made by the ANC Youth League in Greater Tshwane Region, and strongly condemns the impertinent and imprudent “invocation of menopause as a metaphor for political atavism and reactionary regression by the ANC Youth League”. Such language is not only scientifically and socially flawed but also deeply disrespectful to the lived experiences of women, particularly within our movement, which champions equality, dignity and progressive discourse. Chapter two (2) of the South African Constitution guarantees the right to human dignity and the extent to which the right is protected is limitless, and the ANCWL subscribes to the principles of non-sexism and opposed to all forms of discrimination and chauvinism.  Irrespective of our anger and dissatisfaction on various issues we differ upon, it is impolite to vulgarise the reproductive cycle of women. Menopause is a natural biolo...
