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.

Is back in the Randberg Magistrate Court next Tuesday, October 13th. This appearance could hear details of Sibiya's corrupt dealings with criminal figure Vusimuzi Katmatlala from Mr. M, a central figure in Sibiya's rape and sexual grooming case. During proceedings yesterday, Mr. M vowed to let the cat out of the bag about Kat Matlala's involvement with senior politicians, information about cases where people have disappeared, and Sibiya's relationship with criminals. In your final

This particular company that deals with specifically that. And we did have a conversation, I think, about two or three weeks back around the boy child. So we will keep on doing that.

Funded mainly by UCT and some businesses. For further confusion, Alma Road, Rosebank, south side of the road, comes under Rondebash Saps and the north side under Mowbray Saps. And Pippa is a near neighbour. She never. Okay, right. Why? Because the dividing line is Daviliers, houses on the northern side. Okay, so there's a kind of separation that does make that kind of

They do not have a strong civic association joined at the hip for decades. They do not have one, okay? But in two different worlds, two separate councillors, the Joint Civic Association, RMCA, seems to have fallen by the wayside. And one part of Rosebank and one part of Mowbray belong to LMRID, to which residents pay extra rates via cocked account. Another part of Rosebank and Mowbray have a different

Definitely at the time, a highlight for my baby daughter Sydney. Yeah, great memories. All the best, Iman. Morning, morning, Clement. You have a powerhouse in Stujo. One fascinating thing about Iman is how she's able to make a switch, you know, with the breakfast news, you know, something serious, and oh, you should meet her on the weekend. I remember those years when I used to meet her at Melville, you know.

In Melville, when Poppies were still all the rage in Melville, and there was a function going on, and myself and my family, and my 13-year-old daughter, 15-year-old daughter at the time, spotted Iman and she came up to me and she said, Daddy, I seen that woman on TV, she's fabulous. And I took her to meet Iman and introduced her, and I tell you, that was.

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.

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.

For donations or money, but the ones that start harassing you or retaliating. Now, disclaimer: there is an update to the story, which Sam Wright will join us and share what the update is. But I wanted to bring this conversation through because these things have happened. These things have happened. Many, many years ago, I found myself in Rosebank. A man was begging on the side of the road. I had my scuff teeth.

To install the solar, so if you pay a thousand bucks a month, fifteen hundred rand a month for your electricity, that will be the loan that you will pay for your solar, according to Brian, which is close. I know I'm renting my solar, I'm renting it and it costs more than I would pay, but I look at it as a refer to it as a load shedding levy, it's like a load shedding tax that I'm paying because, as you know, I live in Fairland and very often the power goes out for no reason and knock on woods.

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.

Pretoria, then let me go to Greenside. Temba High, good afternoon. All right, so how are you? I'm a Niya Pila. You know, Bongi, I think refrain from making irresponsible statements. Especially like Seiper saying the churches don't know the law, it can't be on him. Here's the thing: there shouldn't be an irresponsible

Phenomenal. Oh, she's so good. Yo, my algorithm is stuck with her at the moment. Anyway, wrapping up our conversation on 947 Drive with Tundo about that one thing that you refuse to not pay for subscription-wise, no matter the fuel price increase, when you're saying, uh-uh, this one, I need to keep it. So, we were complaining about like watching adverts on YouTube, which is bad because you know, some people also get paid for those adverts. So, excuse us. I know, I know, I know. But Ayanda out in Fairlands and Randberg, you think you've got a solution.

Court on the 13th of October. That's on a Tuesday. But a day before that, he will be appearing with the SEPS Disciplinary Committee on a Monday. So on the 12th of October, on a Monday, Spia is with the SAPS disciplinary hearing. And on Tuesday, on the 13th of October, he is back at the Randberg Magistrates Court for his bail application, where he faces charges of allegedly raping an 18-year-old girl and sexually grooming a 16-year-old.

And of course, with Spia having this sexual rape and grooming case, he also has to deal with the South African police services who will be holding disciplinary hearings against him and could be potentially charged in his position in thefts. So when is he appearing again in court? So he's back at the Randberg Magistrates Court.

Going to need your fingerprint because you're going to have to come back. Yeah, it's 2:30. Time for your latest and eyewitness news headlines. Good afternoon. Thanks, Lelebohila. Good afternoon.

Me driving from Hyde Park to your studio. Actually, you are actually on the money about that. I need to ask. Much safer, and that's because of improved monitoring that has come into anesthesia. So, anesthesia now is much, much safer than people used to think about it. People see it as something really scary. Yes, it is not uncommon to be anxious about it, but you're.

Year old at the center of the sexual grooming allegations against him. Sibiya is appearing in the Randberg Magistrates Court today for the continuation of his formal bail application. The 59-year-old is accused of sexually grooming a minor and raping an 18-year-old. The state is opposing bail and has presented the recording as part of its case that Sibiya could intimidate witnesses. But Sibiya's lawyer Amanda Nell has told the court today that that conversation has been taken out of.

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

Faces five charges linked to allegations involving two teenagers, including the alleged rape of an 18-year-old at a Santon Hotel and the alleged sexual grooming of a 16-year-old who sent him explicit images. His defense argues that both complainants should be treated as adults and maintains that these sexual interactions were consensual. The state disputes this, saying it has a strong case against Bia and that he should be denied bail.

Bail application and City Power revises its estimated timeline for the full restoration of electricity in Johannesburg's inner city. The bail application of suspended SAPS Deputy Commissioner Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya returns to the Randberg Magistrate Court today, with the state and defense divided over whether he should remain behind bars. Sibiya

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.

It depends, but I know the big daddy longlegs will survive in my house. The rain spider that comes every October will survive in my house. We've had a scorpion, we've had a crab because I live in Linden, which has got a very high water table. If it rains a lot, sometimes we've had a crab in our garden that survived. I have thrown stones at pigeons. What did they say in that movie? What was that movie? Pigeons the Rainbow.

Hotel in Santon here in Johannesburg, as well as the alleged sexual grooming of a 16-year-old who sent explicit images to him. Now, during arguments, Sibiya's legal team maintained that the two teenagers should be treated as adults and argued that the sexual interactions were consensual. Now, the state, however, says it has a watertight case and argues that Sibiya should be denied bail while he remains in custody at the Hoshimamburu Correctional Center in Pretoria.

Pranesh, Linda, literally everybody's on the money. Well, that's what I would have thought until this happened. Morning, Nick, I know nothing about Formula One and sports. That's nothing for me this morning. It's Andrea from Albertson. You have me sometimes no idea. Prem from Brinston, Jody Schechter, East London born, raised for the Tafosi. Ferrari, baby. Ian from Randberg. He drove for Ferrari. Flying guest today.

The team roams through the floor the entire time and ensures that everyone gets looked after and served properly. No, gotcha. Morning, Clemsa. Clemsa, can you just find out why don't they open on a Monday? Like, it's like when you think of an impromptu thing to do on a Monday around Parkhurst or in most restaurants, they are closed on a Monday. Come on, guys, help us out. You know, maybe I'm trying to impress, and it's a Monday and Kippopilia got some cash nyana, you know, and you guys are all closed.

2020. So I missed the COVID, the big lockdown, and then 21 was the next big lockdown. And we opened up across the road or down the road from Theo. Yeah. Yeah, how did you guys survive that? I mean, every most businesses really struggled. During COVID. So Kolonaki in Parkhurst is just a very special restaurant.

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.

702 serving the 702 family in 702 land, including those of you living in Melville. Copies goes back 3 billion years. Stone Age tools have been found on the copies and several iron smelting furnaces dating back to the Iron Age have been excavated and preserved in the Melville Copies Nature Reserve.

That's okay then. It's these things that are happening like now that irritates me. Oh, the light. I like. What is Ben? What's Ben saying? Ben says the lights are on M1. It might be for you. Ben says the lights are on the M1. I drive through Melville. The lights are out from the cemetery. Yeah. Bottom of the cemetery, bottom of the hill, all the way through Melville. Bayers Nordir doesn't work. And most of the traffic lights on Bays Nordir were working. So there were only two or three that weren't working. No.

The Daily Maverick, we asked a city of Johannesburg spokesperson to maybe just give us his sense of what they believe is happening around the city of Johannesburg's Kensington and Malvern area. The City of Johannesburg spokesperson, Tatisi Modingwana, thank you so much for making time for us. Good evening and welcome. Thank you very much for the opportunity to make. Let me say quickly to the next level. What do you know about what is actually happening around Kensington, Malvern area?

It's just gone five minutes after six o'clock. A very good evening and a warm welcome to it. You're listening to Kaya Biz here on Kaya 959 with myself, Kukuletu Mufupi. What a busy day. So many of you might be familiar with Kaya House. We are here in Rosebank on 195 Jansmut Avenue, and right across the road from us is a filling station. Earlier on today, and even looking right across the window from me, I do see the queues. Cars have been piling up to fill up their tanks. And as

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.

Influence or more business focus, but unfortunately, the party always wins by the sounds of it and by the looks of it, regardless of the person's statue or business acumen. But yeah, it's quite sad though. And yeah, when you use Donald Trump as an example, I don't know if he's by any means, but yeah, anyway, great topic. All right, let's go to the lines. XDK from Santon, go ahead. Hi, good afternoon.

We also do have current sitting presidents that are businessmen. And it is up to you to decide if you think that's a good thing or a bad thing. One double eight three oh seven oh two, the WhatsApp line 0727021702. Nadosh in Hyde Park. Hi, Nadosh. Hi, good afternoon to you. How are you? Good, thanks to you. Good, thank you. Well, listen, thank you for the opportunity. I'm just, I thought I must give my 50 cents on this topic.

And I love jewelry. So I collected jewelry and started selling on a Sunday at the market in 94 when it opened. Goodness me. I mean, you can get almost anything at the Rosebank market. Just give us a sense of the variety that's on offer in terms of what the traders sell there. So, first of all, we have a lot of handmade arts and crafts, a lot of really exciting entrepreneurs who are trying to make money. We have food, we have deli, we do have a lot of African

Exciting news. I mean, this is one of those that is sort of a landmark, certainly a feature of Johannesburg. How long has the Rosebank Sunday market been open now? The Sunday market was started in 2013, but the original Rosebank market was opened in 1994. Oh, my goodness, it's an institution, isn't it? It is an institution. Now, you started there as a trader. That's right. I'm a social worker. I had a private therapy practice.

We're pleased to tell you who the winners are and in the category: greatest food and craft markets. KG, drum roll, please. It's the Rosebank Sunday market. And the CEO of the Rosebank Sunday Market, Dana Duran, is with us this morning. Dana, congratulations! Thank you so much. This is really cool.

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.

She's now undergoing chemotherapy as we speak, and she's now part of the family. There's many, many stories like that and testimonials that we are busy uploading onto our website currently. Many, many stories like that. Can you tell us a little bit about Pinkhurst? What is Pinkhurst all about? Parkhurst, the beautiful community in the north of Johannesburg on Fourth Avenue, that street where all those beautiful

The reason why I would say I've worked for so many companies is because I have researched on how people behave, what is the nature of the organization, and how the country is behaving. Let me stop you there. Thanks very much for your call. What do you make of what Sakil has to say? Yeah, give me a call. Michael is in Greenside. Hi, Michael. Hey, Obi. I definitely can.

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

Retina, but you can get headaches because now you are wearing a prescription that is not good enough in layman's terms for your eyes. So, but otherwise, it's not gonna affect the retina. Speak to Zweili in Randburg. Good evening to you, Zweili. Evening, team. Thanks for the informative show. I just want to find out one of my eyes in the mornings, meaning in the morning when I wake up, it's a little bit blurry and it will take probably five minutes or

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

Bit is that there are too many concurrent functions across the three spheres of government. And this is why sometimes you get to see some standoffs at times between JMPD and SAPS. And at times, that standoff is about territory. It's got nothing to do with policing. It's got to view it as though some are encroaching in my territory. When I was spoken to people in Westbury, because we've been involved there with Bishop Adams of the ACDP, you know, trying to build solidarity and sense of community and also understanding in terms of
