Man arrested in R450k firearms bust at Zimbali estate
The arrest followed a joint operation led by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) on two private properties within the estate, conducted between 4am and 7am.
According to Hawks spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Simphiwe Mhlongo, the man was charged with unlawful possession of firearms, unlawful possession of ammunition and possession of one gram of cocaine.
The Zimbali Estate Management Association (ZEMA) confirmed it had been made aware of the planned operation but stated that it was not linked to any of its management or operational staff.
'Every effort was made to ensure the situation was managed in a way that protected the integrity of Zimbali Estate and minimised unnecessary alarm or disruption to our resident community,' said the estate.
The case is under investigation.

Urgent steps to enhance water security in Africa: Insights from the G20–AU Summit
Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation David Mahlobo addressed delegates on water infrastructure investment and security during the final day of the G20–AU Africa Water Investment Partnership Summit in Cape Town. Image: File The final day of the G20–AU Africa Water Investment Partnership Summit at the Cape Town International Convention Centre highlighted the urgent need to protect and expand water infrastructure across the continent. Delegates heard that organised criminal networks, funding gaps, and climate-related pressures were threatening access to clean water and sanitation, and that decisive action was required to safeguard communities and support development. Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation, David Mahlobo, warned that critical water infrastructure was increasingly targeted by 'water mafias' through vandalism, illegal connections, and extortion. 'These acts are not petty crimes,' Mahlobo said. 'They undermine the constitutional right to water, threaten public health, disrupt education, and impede economic activity.' Video Player is loading.

Illegal connections were compounding the problem, reducing supply and placing additional strain on already vulnerable systems. 'Communities suffer the most, particularly in rural and informal settlements, where water scarcity and sanitation failures pose serious public health risks,' he said. To address these challenges, Mahlobo outlined reforms aimed at strengthening governance, oversight, and coordination. The government is establishing professionally managed utilities for water services, introducing performance-based contracts for both public and private operators, and implementing monitoring systems to safeguard infrastructure. Law enforcement agencies, including the Hawks and SAPS, are actively involved in dismantling criminal networks and prosecuting offenders. Mahlobo stressed the importance of long-term investment and capacity-building. Sustainable infrastructure projects must combine reliable financing with local training and community engagement to ensure services are maintained over time. 'It is not just about constructing dams or pipelines; it is about ensuring the services are maintained, the communities are empowered, and the infrastructure remains secure for years to come,' he said. He outlined ongoing initiatives to expand South Africa's water supply, including bulk water infrastructure, rehabilitation of treatment plants, and improved rural distribution. He called for collaboration between government, private investors, and communities to ensure water security translates into social and economic development. The summit also provided a platform for African countries to share best practices, align with continental frameworks like the Africa Water Vision 2025, and leverage development partner support. Mahlobo said measurable commitments, clear timelines, and secured funding were essential to turning plans into action. He emphasised the importance of integrating governance reforms, technology, and community engagement to ensure infrastructure is protected and effectively managed while ensuring reliable water and sanitation services for all. Namibia's Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform, Inge Zaamwani, underscored the importance of regional cooperation in addressing shared water security challenges. She highlighted Namibia's investments in bulk water infrastructure, groundwater management, and rural water supply, stressing that sustainable water management is essential for food security, public health, and economic growth, particularly in arid regions. Zaamwani also emphasised involving communities in governance and using technology to monitor efficiency and water quality. 'The summit has reinforced that water security cannot be addressed by one country alone. We must work together to protect shared resources, attract investment, and ensure that every citizen has access to safe, reliable water and sanitation,' she said.

Letter to Mahlamba Ndlopfu — standards of bribes have plummeted in South Africa
Ah, Chief Dwasaho! This week, the ANC's Integrity Commission (what integrity?) cleared King Paul Mashatile of the Alex Mafia nation of corruption allegations relating to his 'family homes'. No case existed to begin with. Is this the time to say: I told you so – or is it too early? Integrity Commission finds no fault… Shock! Horror! Gasp! According to eNCA, 'the ANC's integrity commission has cleared the party's Deputy President, Paul Mashatile, of any wrongdoing concerning his luxury homes'. What law was supposedly broken by spending a night – or perhaps several years – with the in-laws? One is tempted to ask: can the mere fact of maternal hospitality constitute prosecutable misconduct? Surely not. The law of evidence should not be twisted into a pretzel to suit weak gossip, nor should the ANC display such feeble moral imagination as to call this a scandal. You'd think there would be a law against unethical behaviour and a criminal offence for serious misunderstandings of our legal system. But sadly, no such legislation exists – so spare us the dramatics, the moral grandstanding, and the moral panics. His Deputyship is a man of high moral standing. He once told the 'now-disgraced' broadcaster, JJ Tabane, the unvarnished truth: 'I don't steal, I've never been involved in corruption.' I have no doubt he was right. I see no reason to believe that poorly educated journalists with sleeping problems, an affinity for adult beverages, and, some might say, poor judgement in choosing life partners, can hold a man – or men – to account. Who guards the guardians? Guardians, bribes and Dior bags Speaking of guardians, my esteemed colleague Pieter-Louis Myburgh swears he's delivered what could be the first exposé to catch a bribe recorded on video. The stars of this production? The recently suspended Independent Development Trust (IDT) CEO, Tebogo Malaka, and the entity's smooth-talking spokesperson, Phasha Makgolane. For the record, the IDT is a proud entity of the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure – yes, that very department which delivers on its promises with all the speed and efficiency of a one-legged tortoise on crutches. It appears Malaka has developed a sizeable property portfolio, including a R16-million mansion tucked neatly inside Gauteng's Waterfall Country Estate. And of course – courtesy of… well, you see, I have a weak heart, a single loving wife, type 2 diabetes, an unpaid bond, and 10 children who depend on me. In other words, I'm in no position to be sued. Death of corruption with class Still, the standards of bribes have plummeted in this country: R60,000, stuffed into a white Dior shopping bag and slipped into a white envelope – note, not the classic, respectable brown – handed over in broad daylight at a wine farm restaurant. That alone should have been the first red flag. The second? Conducting the handover at an outdoor table, in full view of fellow diners, as if corruption were now an Olympic spectator sport. Now, everyone knows bribes are meant to be exchanged in dull, smoke-filled, dimly lit rooms overrun with the gentle soundtrack of pole dancers, political crosstitutes, cross-dressers, prostitutes, drug dealers and well-built, tall Nigerian bouncers with menacing, bloodshot eyes. Men, in various stages of intoxication and ill-concealed lust, lean against sticky counters, while drug pushers glide from table to table, making furtive hand signs – two fingers to the nose – signalling that cocaine is on offer. In other words, Pieter-Louis was dealing with amateurs. And really, R60,000? What an insult. You attempt to bribe a youngish white male born after apartheid – no land, no farm, no guaranteed job – with R60,000, when a single bottle of Glenfiddich 50-year-old was going for R600,000 in Makro's festive-season catalogue in November 2023. Bribing in instalments: A 24-month, no-interest deal The amount of money exchanged is the kind of offer you make when trying to buy a second-hand 1912 Toyota Corolla with one missing hubcap. Worse, my leader, they promised Pieter-Louis regular R100,000 payments and easy access to IDT tenders… But here's the punchline: he'd have to do the work himself. Organise the contractors, submit the paperwork and launch a foundation to process the kickbacks before withdrawing the cash, leaving a paper trail thicker than the Zondo Commission's final report. What sort of bribery syllabus is this? 'How to Incriminate Yourself 101'? At this rate, the next bribe will be handed over at a Woolworths checkout counter, wedged between a rotisserie chicken and a packet of organic baby spinach. If IDT head honchos can't even organise a bribe with a bit of class, perhaps it's time they subcontracted the job to the real professionals – the ones who still believe in the brown envelope, a dingy club and the bouncer who knows when to look away. Public service announcement To all aspiring State Capturers, tenderpreneurs and amateur bribers – do not, under any circumstances, attempt to bribe anyone in instalments. It is bad form, unbecoming of the grand South African tradition, and frankly insulting to your intended target. Now, everyone understands there are rules. Bribes, like ANC branch annual general meetings and their elective conferences, require a ceremony of the disgraced. Instead, these two chose a Sunday afternoon in the Cape Winelands, perhaps thinking the chardonnay would pair well with their criminal intent. Bloody idiots. Comrades, at least have the decency to do it properly: one payment, no paper trail, and preferably somewhere without a wine list and cameras. Of bribes, low class and no manners On the subject of bribes, many moons ago, a journalist walked into my office at the legislature, where I was serving as a media liaison officer. He was a familiar face – the kind of reporter who was practically part of the furniture in the media gallery. Without ceremony, as he lowered himself into the chair opposite me, I calmly closed my laptop and flipped my documents facedown. In those days, this was a standard practice, part of what the then National Intelligence Agency said was 'protocol'. We exchanged the usual pleasantries and small political talk. Then he got to the point. He claimed to have a mobile broadcast truck that could revolutionise our media coverage in community radio. I nodded politely, letting him make his case. And then came the hook: if I gave his company the job (tender), we would 'share the spoils'. Imagine walking past tight security, through the body scanner, into my office, and proposing a bribe without even an imvula mlomo to sweeten the deal – not so much as a courtesy cold beer or even a token gesture like a Glenfiddich 12-year-old. Just the raw, unseasoned proposition, slapped onto my desk like a resignation letter. Covert operation or the dumbest criminals? I looked him squarely in the eye and delivered the classic ANC denial: 'I do not sit in tender committees.' He stood up and left, an egg on his face – clearly runny, dripping, and visible from across the corridor. I threw my hands in the air, defeated, displeased, disillusioned, disheartened, disgusted, and frankly disturbed. What on Earth gave him the idea that I was bribeable? Was this a loyalty test, or was I on some underground BlackBerry Messenger list of 'low-maintenance' targets? The audacity haunted me for years. In the old political underworld, such an approach would have been carefully choreographed: a discreet third-party intermediary, a plausible cover story, and a brown envelope slipped under a desk marked 'Confidential.' But here was a man pitching corruption like a Makro clearance sale – blunt, artless, shame-free. I could not decide which was worse: his insult to my principles or the craft of bribery itself. If you're going to try to buy my silence, at least have the professional courtesy to follow the rules of the game. This, Comrades, was corruption without class. My leader, askies. I read in the news that the pipe-smoking former president, Thabo Mbeki, has joined forces with the FW de Klerk Foundation, other foundations and the Freedom Front Plus to snub the National Convention – the supposed launchpad for the National Dialogue. What common cause does Mbeki have with the apartheid apologists? Is it now a bridge too far to bribe the foundations? Neither Woolworths nor Makro offered financial or material support for this article. No bribes were paid or accepted, no animals harmed, and no journalists killed, as in Gaza.

Murder suspect arrested after high-speed chase ends in collision near mall in Alexandra
Murder suspect arrested after high-speed chase ends in collision near mall in Alexandra A 39-year-old suspect, wanted in connection with a November 2024 murder in Florida, Gauteng, was arrested yesterday after a high-speed police chase ended in a multi-vehicle collision at the London Road off-ramp near Alex Mall, injuring four people and disrupting traffic in the area. Alex News reports that the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) revealed that that the suspect is also linked to nine additional cases, including eight robberies and a murder, in various Johannesburg suburbs. According to the Hawks, the suspect fled when they attempted to stop his vehicle while executing a bench warrant – an arrest warrant issued by the court for failing to appear as required for the November 2024 murder. 'When they tried to pull the vehicle over, the suspect's vehicle accelerated. A high-speed chase ensued,' the Hawks' statement read. The suspect was pursued by a multi-disciplinary law enforcement team comprising of the Hawks' Gauteng Serious Organised Crime Investigation's tracing team and SAPS Counter Intelligence, among others. 'At the intersection of the London Road off-ramp, the suspect's VW Polo collided with a Mazda, as well as Hyundai bakkie.' The Hawks further shared that the suspect's passenger is also a person of interest. However, the statement did not divulge any information about the passenger's connection to any crime or investigation. The collision prompted the closure of London Road, from Alex Mall towards the N3, with law enforcement officials managing the scene. A subsequent search of the suspect's residence, by other law enforcement officials, led to the recovery of an unlicensed 9mm firearm and two vehicles, a blue VW and a blue Renault, linked to cases in Germiston and Sandton. The Hawks said the suspect will appear in court soon, and the investigation continues. Breaking news at your fingertips… Follow Caxton Network News on Facebook and join our WhatsApp channel.
