Local churchgoers ‘bless' broken road
New Life Worship Centre International, based in Danville, Pretoria West, filled troublesome potholes with more than the Holy Spirit. Churchgoers and community members have expressed frustration over the potholes on 330 Sekelgras Street since they formed during the heavy rains earlier this year. Chairman of the church's men's fellowship, the Cornerstone, Mandla Mpangani, said the potholes were causing members to use longer routes to attend services. 'These potholes have been around for quite a long time, I think three months now, since the rains of February and March. We started organising our men's church members and community members for the asphalt and cement, and to rent out the stamper. We started at 09:00, cleaning the road and filling them [potholes] up until 15:00,' Mpangani said. Mpangani said the church's efforts were welcomed by community members who didn't mind the street being closed for the work to commence, and even sponsored lunches for the volunteers working. 'Our church members use that street when we go to church, and since late February, early March, we have started using alternative roads to get to church. Mpangani said they decided to fill the potholes themselves so that the members could use the road again. 'The community was happy, some of them donated money to buy drinks, water and lunches. Happy people were honking their cars and greeting us. We closed the road for almost two hours because the other part has got big potholes. They didn't fight us, they were very happy,' he said.

These are the factors that fuelled SA auto industry's strong Q1 rebound
The recovery of the SA automotive sector is driven by improved consumer sentiment, lower interest rates and access to retirement savings through two-pot withdrawals, according to the latest TransUnion SA Mobility Insights Report for Q1 2025. Rising real wages have also contributed to an upward trajectory averaging about 34,000 monthly passenger vehicle sales in the first quarter of the year, and representing the highest levels seen since Q3 2015. Affordability, longer ownership cycles and the growing availability of low-cost models remains the driver of purchase decisions, particularly younger and first-time buyers. 'SA consumers are returning to the vehicle market with a clear focus on value and flexibility,' said Lee Naik, CEO of TransUnion Africa. 'We're seeing a continued shift away from traditional premium segments in favour of more accessible alternatives that meet evolving needs and budgets.' Social media Gen Z's rising influence, responsible for a 27.9% year-on-year increase in vehicle finance volumes, highlights social media's importance to automotive brands aiming to attract younger buyers, who are said to spend more than three-and-a-half hours daily on platforms including TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.

Mkhwanazi slams doorless car cop [video]
KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has ordered that disciplinary steps be taken against a police officer who was captured on a viral video driving a doorless marked police car. The video was taken on Sunday, 1 June, as the police vehicle was involved in an accident in the Durban North policing precincts where it collided with a minibus taxi. According to the police, the driver at the time of the accident was a female Warrant Officer who was trapped inside the vehicle, and the door had to be removed to rescue her. Read the full version of the ' Doorless car: Mkhwanazi calls for disciplinary action against cop in viral video' article. KZN police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda said without the door, although in a drivable condition, the vehicle should have been towed back to the police station. 'Instead of following prescribed procedures, another driver, also a Warrant Officer, drove the vehicle to the station, endangering his life and putting the name and the image of the SAPS into disrepute,' he said.
