JULIUS MALEMA SPEAKS AT 10 FIGHTERS FUNERAL AFTER 16JUNE2025 YOUTH DAY EVENT @KASIBC_AFRICA

CIC JULIUS MMALEMA SPEECH : 

Programme Director, Members of the Bereaved Families, Fighters, Comrades, and Fellow South Africans. We gather here today in collective grief. 

We are here to lay to rest the young lives of our beloved children, brothers, sisters, and comrades: Sbongakonke Mathe (17) Ntombi Ndlovu (19) Lungani Sunday Mbatha (25) Phumlani Zulu (46) Thokozani Mashazi (29) Ayanda Khumalo (27) Qhwalisile Sibisi (44) Manqele Sboniso (23) Thuthukani Dube (26) Siyanda Twala (23) 

These are not just names in a headline or numbers in a report. These were young people who had dreams.  They were full of life, full of promise, and full of the courage that defines the children of working-class and oppressed families, those who know struggle not from history books, but from daily survival. They died while in pursuit of life.

They were travelling with hope in their hearts. But the journey that should have taken them toward opportunity ended in tragedy.

SANDF ASSASSINATIONS SCANDAL MOORHOUSE REPORT @KASIBC_AFRICA

SANDF ASSASSINATIONS SCANDAL MOORHOUSE REPORT @KASIBC_AFRICA

ONLINE EDITOR @KASIBC_AFRICA

The DA demands the urgent release of the hidden Moorhouse Report. Twelve SANDF members were arrested for a top investigator’s assassination.

The report exposes rogue SANDF networks tied to torture, smuggling, and killings.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) calls for the immediate release of the Moorhouse Report, which the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) continues to conceal from Parliament and the public.

This follows the arrest of 12 SANDF members in connection with the 2023 assassination of Hawks investigator, Lieutenant Colonel Frans Mathipa.

The arrests have intensified pressure for transparency, particularly regarding the report’s alleged findings on illegal SANDF activities.

The Moorhouse Board of Inquiry was reportedly established after whistleblower Thulane Ndawo, a former Military Police officer, exposed illegal detentions, torture, and unauthorised operations in 2021.

The report is believed to contain explosive details of rogue SANDF activity, including the 2019 theft of military rifles, the use of front companies, and involvement in politically motivated killings.

In November 2023, the DA submitted a Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) application to obtain the report. This request which remains unanswered.

Civil society organisation Open Secrets has also escalated the matter to the United Nations, underscoring the seriousness of the allegations.

Lt Col Mathipa, assassinated on the N1 in July 2023, had been investigating a 2022 kidnapping linked to military vehicles and the secret offloading of cargo from the Russian vessel Lady R at the Simon’s Town naval base.

He had just obtained a court order compelling the SANDF to release critical documents when he was killed.

These developments point to the existence of a rogue network within the SANDF operating outside of lawful command structures, involved in kidnappings, arms smuggling, and assassinations.

The DA demands the following:

The immediate, unredacted release of the Moorhouse Report;

A list of implicated individuals and steps toward prosecution;

Disclosure of SANDF-linked front companies; and

A plan to dismantle rogue operations within the military.

The truth must be exposed, and those responsible must face justice

DEATH OF TWO DAN RADEBE PRIMARY BY POSSIBLE DROWNING @KASIBC_AFRICA

DEATH OF TWO DAN RADEBE PRIMARY BY POSSIBLE DROWNING @KASIBC_AFRICA

ONLINE EDITOR @KASIBC_AFRICA

Gauteng Education MEC Matome Chiloane is deeply saddened by the tragic passing of two Grade 5 boy learners from Dan Radebe Primary School in Duduza, Ekurhuleni. 

The two learners, who were close friends and in the same class, are suspected to have drowned after their bodies were discovered in a water pond on Friday, 20 June 2025.

It is alleged that the learners were reported missing on Thursday, 19 June 2025. Subsequently, their bodies were found during a search mission by Emergency Services in a water pond that was reportedly formed by excavations at a nearby construction site, in Duduza. According to the community; this large, rain-filled pit, unsecured and unmarked, has become a hazardous attraction for informal swimming to children in the area.

The South African Police Service (SAPS) is investigating circumstances surrounding this incident.

The GDE’s Psycho-Social Support Unit has been dispatched to Dan Radebe Primary School to provide trauma counselling and support to the affected learners, educators, and families.

“This is a heartbreaking incident. Losing young lives in this manner is devastating not only for the families, but for the school community and the province as a whole. Our sincerest condolences go out to the parents, teachers, classmates, and friends of these learners,” said MEC Chiloane.

LOTTO R60BILLION CORRUPTION @KASIBC_AFRICA

LOTTO R60BILLION CORRUPTION @KASIBC_AFRICA 

Tomorrow, following the DA’s request, the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) and the Minister of Trade, Industry & Competition, Parks Tau, will appear before the Portfolio Committee in Parliament to answer to numerous concerns surrounding the awarding of the lottery licence to Sizekhaya Holdings. 

This follows revelations of links between Sizekhaya and the Deputy President, Paul Mashatile.

The DA will demand complete transparency from the Minister tomorrow on whether the Deputy President was in any way involved in awarding the R60 billion contract. We will also demand a full record of the Minister’s decision-making process.

After leaving the decision on the tender award to the last minute and jeopardising the functioning of the lottery over the next year, Minister Parks Tau finally awarded the licence to Sizekhaya Holdings. Sizekhaya is reportedly part-owned by Bellamont Holdings, a company co-founded and co-directed by Mashatile’s sister-in-law Khumo Bogatsu and Mashatile’s close associate Moses Tembe. Another ANC-linked businessman, Sandile Zungu, is also involved in Sizekhaya. Sizekhaya was founded just days before the deadline for the lottery licence.

Our request initially came after the NLC lost a court case before the North Gauteng High Court, which found that the process undertaken to award the lottery licence was irregular in terms of the Lotteries Act. The DA has repeatedly raised its concerns about the process undertaken to award the licence, including the political connections of many of the bidders.

The NLC and Tau last week were denied leave to appeal, with costs.

Further, in a very irregular practice, Ithuba Holdings wrote to the Committee raising its own concerns on the lottery licence process.

The DA will not tolerate any malpractice involved, will seek answers and will hold to account all those implicated.

TOKOLOGO MUNICIPALITY SIU INVESTIGATION @KASIBC_AFRICA

TOKOLOGO MUNICIPALITY SIU INVESTIGATION @KASIBC_AFRICA 

@KASIBC_AFRICA ONLINE EDITOR 

The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Tokologo will table a motion to overhaul the municipality’s Supply Chain Management (SCM) policy after a Special Investigating Unit (SIU) probe was hampered by missing procurement records.

The SIU was mandated to investigate the irregular procurement of 15 High-Mass Lights and the electrification of New Stance Settlement (Mamantelekile) in Boshof, but found that key documents had either gone missing or were deliberately destroyed.

It should be overhauled to prevent the irregular appointments of service providers, especially those that are appointed on an emergency basis without following the due processes of the normal SCM.

The investigation by the SIU revealed that all procurement documents related to the procurement of these 15 High Mass Lights could not be found, as they were either lost or intentionally destroyed to conceal information. The municipal manager opened the theft case at the time, but it yielded no results as the investigation grew cold and investigators were unable to find any leads.

The municipality must, therefore, develop and implement an official policy regarding records management in response to this. Additionally, establish a records department to safeguard all municipal documents, particularly those related to Supply Chain Management, thereby preventing the loss of essential documents in the future.

The municipal manager must take reasonable steps to ensure that complete and accurate records of the municipality's financial affairs are maintained by all prescribed norms and standards.

NKANDLA STUDENT ACCOMMODATION CRISES @KASIBC_AFRICA

NKANDLA STUDENT ACCOMMODATION CRISES @KASIBC_AFRICA

The Democratic Alliance Student Organisation (DASO) in KwaZulu-Natal welcomes the swift relocation of students from substandard off-campus housing at Umfolozi TVET College's Nkandla Campus to safer accommodation, following DASO’s oversight visit last month which exposed the appalling living conditions.

During an oversight visit to the campus' internal residences and two privately operated student hostels outside of the campus, DASO identified broken infrastructure, cramped living conditions, a lack of security, and general unsafe conditions at the external facilities.

At the most appalling external accomodation, we found that NSFAS was paying R3000 per student for two students to share a tiny room with no running water, broken windows, no security, and broken communal showers - to name a few. Our intervention compelled the University and the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) to act immediately—students were moved from the worst-off building, and that residence is now undergoing full refurbishment and upgrades.

DASO will maintain regular inspections of student accommodation across KZN to ensure no learner is exploited for profit by unscrupulous service providers. We are determined to expose every facility where safety or dignity is compromised, and to hold landlords and operators to account.

Nationally, the DA has launched a campaign to end the student accommodation crisis. If you’re a student living in unsafe or unfit conditions, share your story via our portal at https://FixStudentRes.da.org.za and help us shine a light on the real challenges you face.

No student must be left behind. DASO and the DA will continue fighting for safe, dignified housing so that every learner can pursue their studies in an environment that supports—not undermines—their success.
