Marshalltown

She's a domestic worker in Melville and she went to Campus Square in Auckland Park to do some background, some excuse me, banking and shopping. One of the stores she went into was Pep Home. At the entrance, she was asked to leave her backpack. She had a small handbag and a backpack and shopping from another store at the parcel counter. So she took out her wallet, her bank card, and a little bit of cash for her purchases, and she handed the backpack over.

Hijacked buildings in the Johannesburg CBD, and we'll tell you more as that case gets underway probably in the next hour or so. That and a ton others, Clarence. We're busy, team evaluation. Just how do you manage your passwords? How do you remember your passwords? Because I have a problem and maybe you can teach me a means. My trick is the thing that everyone who talks about cyber safety tells you not to do, Clarence.

Municipal Financial Accountability and Audit Readiness Pledge Signing Ceremony, which took place in Brixton here in Joburg on Tuesday, where the Houten Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Department, as long along with the Gauteng Provincial Treasury, Municipalities and AGSA, launched the provincial interim financial statement protocol. Let's speak to governance expert Dr. Harlan Cluty, who has us on the line. Dr. Cluty.

Is receiving medical attention with no arrests or ransom payment confirmed. In your weather, a fine start to the day, later becoming sunny across Haudeng. Temperatures in Joburg are set to peak at 26 degrees, 29 in Tsuane, 26 in Ekurlene, 28 in Merafong, and 28 degrees in Sidibeng. Here's Mpoma Boy with your sports. In your sports, Senegal's appeal over their Ofcon title will be heard today. The Formula One title fight heads into the shadows of the Marina Bay this week.

Fab News. I am Ed Busa. It's a very good morning to you in your SFM sports headlines. Soccer Monopoly Saleng is back in the Sundown squad for the MTN8 final against his old club, Orlando Pirates. And in cricket, a Joburg schoolboy, Jason Rowls, has landed a 2.9 million rand deal with the Joburg Super Kings at the SA20 auction. All this and more at around half past six.

I was a young Joebug joller. I was thinking about what club am I going to go to tonight in Hillbrow and girlfriends and stuff. And here were these people my age, and they were prepared to die. And for the first time, it dawned on me I'm living in a society that I know virtually nothing about. Sure. I mean, you probably in those days either would have had to phone in your copy or go.

You know, and but shout out to people who really believed in my art, you know, that's a sign. And it's such a blessing and a milestone that I get to go out there. Yeah. And speaking of the open mics, someone who's been very vocal about just advocating for open mics in South Africa and bringing those back is Msaki, who's going to be part of the tour as well in Cape Town. Also, shout outs to Wanda Limbambeni in Joburg as well. It feels like a full circle moment. How do you feel connecting with people?

The meeting point on SAFM. I've got Oman Vui, Parktown North. How are you? It's been a minute. I am good, thanks. I actually want to talk about two things. One was the crime conversation that you covered, and the one is the one with the Uput said. The one with the crime is not a South African.

Build worlds because with animation and gaming, you're building worlds. With immersive reality, you are building worlds. You've been doing the festival for a number of years now. Obviously, you want to build on what worked, but you can't have 2026 be exactly the same as 25, especially when the medium you're working in or the framework you're working in is itself so fast-moving. What have you changed for this year that wasn't there before? So, historically, the festival was in Brownfonteen and then it.

News story. So we'll welcome a sponsor so that we can do a second season of The Hope Dealers. But for this last episode, I've visited Makers Valley. And if you haven't heard of Makers Valley, maybe you've heard of Victoria Yards. And Makers Valley is the creative heartbeat of Joberg. It stretches across the eastern inner city. So it spans neighborhoods like Lawrenceville and Troyville and Bertrams. And it's a dynamic grassroots movement. It's a creative ecosystem where social enterprise.

Really have an appetite for good news stories. So we welcome a sponsor so that we can do a second season of The Hope Dealers. But for this last episode, I've visited Makers Valley. And if you haven't heard of Makers Valley, maybe you've heard of Victoria Yards. And Makers Valley is the creative heartbeat of Joberg. It stretches across the eastern inner city. So it spans neighborhoods like Lawrenceville and Troyville and Bertrams. And it's a dynamic grassroots movie.

First, on the issue of the GBV, very important talk. I just wanted to say about two years ago, my car was broken into. I went to the police station to go report it, specifically Day Bellevue Police Station. And sitting there in the GBV desk was a lady reporting something to the police officer. The police station was dead quiet, so everybody could hear a conversation. And it just struck me that why is the GBV desk in

21 degrees in Joburg. Good morning. I'm Timbek Ilem Kototo. The Randberg Magistrates Court will hear more discussions today around the recordings of suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya when his bail hearing resumes. The 59-year-old is accused of sexually grooming a 16-year-old girl and raping an 18-year-old. The investigating officer presented a range of evidence that the state hopes will convince the court that Shadrack Sibiya could interfere with the investigation or witnesses if released from custody. The evidence included.

You have to vote where you are registered, and the ward, you have to vote where you're registered so you choose the right people choose the ward councillor. You can't have a ward councillor chosen by 5,000 prisoners. Or if I'm living in Joburg, I can't pick the ward councillor in Bloemfontein. Pretty much. So the prison thing is an anomaly, and yes, they can't vote, but pretty much anyone else on the voters' roll.

Then tomorrow, temperatures in Joburg are set to peak at highs of 26 degrees, 29 in Suane, 25 in Ekurhuleni, 26 in Mirafong, and 25 degrees in Sidibang. If you missed it, with just hours left for motorists to fill up before the fuel price hike takes effect at midnight, Kosatu is urging government to provide urgent relief. This is the latest dispatch just received in our newsgroup. Rooted in the truth.

What do you do differently? It's obviously caught people's eye and earned you the votes. Oh, I think, you know, we're 26 years old. Okay. So I think having a challenge, isn't it? 100%. Keeping it fresh. Keeping it fresh, but we've got such a great base of clientele. So we've got a wonderful market during the week of corporates. And then obviously on the weekends, come into your family. We're in such a great encounter area with the schools. So whenever there's water polo or rugby happening at St. John's or Parktown Ball.

To secure the victims' release. In your weather, a fine start to the day across Gauteng. Temperatures in Joburg are set to peak at 21 degrees, 23 in Suane, 21 in Agurulene, 21 in Merafong, and 22 degrees in Sidibang. Here's Mpoma Boy with your sports. In your sport, Abduslam Wadu says Pirates is ready to defend their title against sundowns in the MTN 8 final on Saturday. Novak Djokovic threw to the China Open final after Medvedev was defaulted and Formula One in.

Neglected properties and concerns that some are hijacked. The operation took place earlier today and targeted buildings in areas including Marshalltown, Berea, Jebbystown, Yeovil, Hillbrow, and the inner city, forming part of a wider City Power campaign targeting 108 buildings it has identified as problematic across Johannesburg. City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena says the intervention is about recovering debt and

To love the show. Thank you very much for that voice. Now do we get to your calls, Ma'am Wuisa and Parktown North? Good evening. Good evening, Coqueto. Thanks for taking my call. You know what? I want to comment on this NC Field Balula and Dr. Ngosazanos because it happened. I saw it with my own eyes in 2017. What did you see, Momui? I mean, we

Of Johannesburg, Hillborough, Berea, Yeovil, where you would know the irony, where the square meter price of what people are paying per square meter is more than here in Santon because people are given toilets to sleep in and people are taking rent from families who are desperate. Somebody knows what's going on. Absolutely. And

Accompanied by light and variable wind temperatures, starting at a low of 17, reaching a maximum of 24. The top story in EWN this hour, City Power has isolated its central substation after an electrical fault triggered smoke in the feeder boardroom during an attempt to restore supply this afternoon.
