Over 2,500 people braved the rain in Gqeberha for a powerful DA-led anti-crime march, demanding real action against gang violence in South Africa’s “Murder Capital.” Led by Geordin Hill-Lewis, the rally ended at the 10111 Centre with wreaths for victims and hard stats: 300+ gang-related shootings in the Bay between 2021–2025, mostly in the north. Residents, like Shirmone Magotha who lost her cousin, voiced frustration over ignored calls and slow police response. The DA exposed systemic failures — half of police stations nationwide don’t answer official lines, and only a fraction of arrests led to convictions. They also criticized the acting police minister, calling for leadership. DA mayoral candidate Retief Odendaal promised to double Metro Police, launch a 24-hour joint ops center, and deploy drones and CCTV to rebuild safety, attract investment, and let families live without fear.

A 73-year-old man, Nkagisang Setha, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for raping three young children aged five to seven, after luring them to his home with promises of sweets and locking them inside. The assault was interrupted by an unknown person forcing the door open, allowing the children to escape and later report the crime. The court convicted Setha on all counts, emphasizing the gravity of crimes against children and imposing a concurrent 20-year sentence. He is now barred from owning firearms or working with children, and his name is added to the National Register for Sex Offenders. The Kuruman Thuthuzela Care Centre provided critical support to the victims, aiding their recovery and ensuring the prosecution’s success. The National Prosecuting Authority hailed the sentence as a powerful deterrent, reaffirming the justice system’s unwavering commitment to protecting children and holding perpetrators accountable.

A UK man wanted for the brutal triple murder of his wife and two daughters has been arrested in South Africa. Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, a British citizen, fled the UK on July 4th using a passport and was spotted at Heathrow. Interpol issued a Red Notice, and South African authorities, working with global partners, executed a high-stakes arrest in Gauteng. The victims — a 42-year-old mother and her 15- and 5-year-old daughters — were found dead in their Bedford home on July 6th. The family is heartbroken but supported by loved ones. Tshuma is set to appear in court Monday as the case unfolds.
