Popular DJ Kyeezi survives horror hit-and-run accident
Popular Good Hope FM radio presenter Khanya 'Kyeezi' Siyengo was involved in a serious car accident in Cape Town this weekend.
The incident that has sent ripples through South Africa's broadcasting community.
The crash occurred when another motorist allegedly ran a red light, colliding with Siyengo's BMW 420i – and fled the scene.
Despite the severity of the collision, Siyengo incredibly escaped with no major physical injuries, although he has described the experience as emotionally overwhelming.
According to Siyengo, the driver responsible has been identified as Michael Jamiu, a Nigerian national allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time.
Jamiu was reportedly driving a Mercedes Maybach when the crash occurred.
In a dramatic twist, he fled the scene, abandoning his luxury vehicle – and unintentionally leaving behind his passport and personal belongings, which are now in the possession of authorities.
In a statement shared via social media, Siyengo expressed immense gratitude for escaping unharmed but admitted to being emotionally shaken by the traumatic event.
'I am currently taking time to process the emotional impact of this accident,' he said.
'I'm incredibly thankful for my family, who are helping me through this.'
The wreckage of his BMW stands as a stark reminder of how narrowly he avoided serious harm.
Siyengo has issued an apology to his clients, partners, and supporters for any missed commitments over the weekend, reaffirming his dedication even amid personal turmoil.
His management team has requested privacy during this period as he focuses on healing mentally and emotionally.
Authorities are actively pursuing Jamiu, with the personal items left at the scene expected to assist in the investigation.
The alleged drunk driving and hit-and-run charges are likely to carry serious legal consequences.
Kyeezi's ordeal serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers of reckless driving, especially under the influence.
As Cape Town's media community rallies around him, fans and fellow broadcasters have flooded social media with messages of support and well-wishes.

Illicit financial flows are derailing Africa's future
Illicit financial flows (IFFs) continue to undermine the future of Africa, hampering the ability of governments to adequately fund education, healthcare and development projects essential for lifting people out of poverty and fostering sustainable economic growth. As business leaders, politicians, academics and citizens, we cannot sit back. We must help curb the illegal flow of money out of our country through a cohesive effort by all stakeholders, both local and international, to ensure safeguards are put in place, laws are harmonised, and all enforcement agencies work together to address the problem. At the same time, we must not do anything that will deter investment. Ahead of G20 summit in Johannesburg in November, as well precursor meetings — such as the G20 finance ministers' and central bank governors' meeting and the T20 midterm conference held this month — we must formulate proposals that integrate the perspectives of public and private sector institutions, nonprofit organisations, think-tanks and universities. Together we can make valuable policy recommendations, such as using AI to turn vast amounts of data into information for developing strategic interventions. Working alongside each other, we can identify gaps in current legal frameworks and areas where greater co-operation is required. We must seek ways to stem illicit money flows. When individuals or companies evade their tax obligations, deliberately falsify import or export documents, or misappropriate funds intended for development projects, they are not committing victimless crimes. These outflows not only weaken our reputation in the eyes of the international markets, but also make it harder for the government to raise capital at manageable interest rates. We already owe too much: the National Treasury predicts that debt on our national balance sheet will be 77% of GDP this year. IFFs directly undermine economic growth, costing the South African economy the equivalent of almost 5% of annual collected tax revenue — losses of about R92.5bn. On the African continent, the numbers are more alarming, with between $50bn (about R889bn) and $90bn stolen annually, according to the UN. A 2020 report from a UN conference on trade and development states that IFFs represent as much as 3.7% of Africa's GDP. This figure has almost certainly grown since then, given that those who break laws will keep doing so if they are not held accountable. We recently convened a G20 multi-stakeholder dialogue to better understand this challenge, quantify its impact, assess current solutions, and identify new ones . One of our speakers, deputy minister of international relations and co-operation Alvin Botes, spelt out what this theft means: countries with high IFFs spend at least 25% less on healthcare and 50% less on education compared with their peers. IFFs wipe out any good the $65bn in aid Africa receives each year might do. They reduce progress made in making people's lives better. There are initiatives under way to address IFFs. For example, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) collaborates with the UN to strengthen countries' financial systems and prevent illicit outflows. While South Africa's inclusion on the FATF's grey list is viewed by some as an embarrassment, it enables us to strengthen our legal and regulatory frameworks, as well as enhance our anti-money-laundering capabilities. While South Africa's inclusion on the FATF's grey list is viewed by some as an embarrassment, it enables us to strengthen our legal and regulatory frameworks, as well as enhance our anti-money-laundering capabilities. We are also seeing prosecutions of high-level fraudsters, especially those who use dubious accounting methods to move money around and avoid paying their fair share of taxes. It is gratifying to see that action has been taken in this regard. Other UN entities have developed discussion platforms and measurement systems. There are 10 asset-recovery inter-agency networks that have 178 member countries, allowing illicit money flows to be traced across borders. In addition, Interpol supports national and international law enforcement agencies to investigate, trace and prosecute those responsible for these crimes. We must all strive towards expanding such interventions, as well as advocate for and enable closer alignment between government departments and between local law enforcement agencies and their international counterparts. However, our solutions must not cause more harm than good by discouraging legitimate investment. We should not, for example, implement unfair tax regimes that could result in capital flight. We must also not inhibit international investment inflows by making it nearly impossible to comply with legislation and regulations. Such a state of affairs would merely encourage companies to operate businesses in sectors such as import and export under the radar. Through working together by sharing data, harmonising laws and holding those responsible for IFFs accountable, we can strengthen the economy by plugging the holes through which money leaks and encouraging investment. Our people deserve nothing less.

‘Grave injustice': Man acquitted of attempted rape by SCA after fourth appeal
His eight-year jail sentence was set aside. A man convicted and jailed for attempted rape has been acquitted by the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) after his fourth attempt at overturning the decision. Vincent Japhta was sentenced to eight years in prison for attempted rape in December 2021, more than two years after the incident that led to his arrest. Western Cape man accused of rape The alleged incident occurred on 19 May 2019. During the trial in the Mitchell's Plain Regional Court, it was claimed that Japhta raped a woman at her home. The complainant testified that on the night of the incident, she had been drinking alcohol with friends and family at her house. Feeling drunk, she went to her bedroom to sleep, fully clothed. Among the clothing she wore were tight skinny jeans that extended above her waist. She said she passed out due to intoxication and later woke up to find Japhta on top of her. According to her, both she and Japhta were naked from the waist down, and her pants and panties were on the floor. ALSO READ: Mpumalanga teen girl sends police on a hunt for her rapist, but she lied Japhta told the court that he had gone to the woman's home, where several people, including his friend Andre Pietersen, were drinking. He said he and the complainant had entered her bedroom twice to check on Pietersen, who was asleep. They kissed on both occasions. Later, after others had left, Japhta entered the woman's room again and asked if he could lie next to her. She agreed. They then began kissing and touching each other. Japhta testified that they both removed their pants and underwear. He said that when the complainant told him she didn't want to continue, he stopped all physical contact. According to him, the woman then held him in a cradling position. Medical report and messages The court also heard that the complainant told her sister about the incident and was examined by a medical doctor the following day. The J88 form, a medico-legal report, found no injuries or other evidence of sexual assault. That same day, the woman contacted Japhta, demanding that he tell her the truth about what had happened. She sent him approximately 74 WhatsApp messages, in which she threatened to report the matter to police. READ MORE: SCA acquits man of rape after overturning his friend's 20-year conviction following multiple appeals In the messages, she claimed that a doctor had found traces of semen inside her vagina. Japhta later admitted that he 'used his finger' and that 'it was just the head', indicating partial penetration. The complainant then invited Japhta to her home, saying she wanted him to apologise in person. However, when he arrived, she and her sister assaulted him, leaving him with cuts and bruises. Japhta was arrested and later convicted of attempted rape following the trial. Appeals Japhta's first appeal, lodged with the regional court in January 2022, was dismissed. The Western Cape High Court rejected his second appeal in June 2023. A third attempt, to the SCA was also denied in August 2023. READ MORE: Man's appeal to overturn life sentence for raping his 7-year-old step-granddaughter denied Japhta then submitted a petition to SCA Judge President Mahube Molemela, asking for his special leave to appeal application to be reconsidered. The request was granted by Molemela, and the case was heard in November 2024. SCA judgment on attempted rape case On 5 June 2025, Acting SCA Judge Letty Molopa-Sethosa, with four judges concurring, overturned Japhta's conviction and sentence. The judgment found that the evidence showed that the woman was an 'unreliable witness' due to her level of intoxication. 'In her statement, she only mentioned that she could vaguely recall the applicant being on top of her and having had drinks with family and friends. 'Under cross-examination, she had difficulty explaining how she could subsequently remember all the detail to which she testified in court,' Molopa-Sethosa said. The judge said that the complainant had used threats and manipulation to pressure Japhta into making admissions, which were made 'perhaps to avoid embarrassment for him and his family'. READ MORE: Court criticises father who impregnated daughter as rape sentence appeal rejected She had also 'disingenuously' led him to believe that medical evidence supported her claim. 'The misleading and threatening WhatsApp messages were undeniably sent by the complainant to the applicant to coerce him into admitting that he had raped her the previous night.' Molopa-Sethosa emphasised that there was no supporting evidence for the complainant's version and said Japhta's account was not rendered less believable by the facts presented. She also highlighted that the both the regional and high court 'completely ignored' the complainant's intoxication and its likely effect on her memory. 'In my view, it is manifest that a wrong conviction on such a serious charge must inevitably result in a grave injustice for the applicant.' The SCA ruled in Japhta's favour, granting his special leave to appeal and setting aside both his conviction and sentence.

Limpopo police bust truck smuggling stolen goods to Malawi
Limpopo police struck a decisive blow against transnational crime, intercepting a highly organised smuggling syndicate transporting stolen goods from Cape Town to Malawi. At around 2:00 on Thursday, 5 June, the Limpopo Anti-Smuggling Task Team, working with Tshimollo Security and Investigation and Shadow Secure Technology, stopped a Scania truck with superlink trailers near the Polokwane weighbridge. The truck, believed to be part of a broader criminal network exploiting the Beitbridge border post, was found carrying a staggering cache of stolen items following an 18-hour search operation. 'This breakthrough represents a major victory against sophisticated criminal networks that have been exploiting our borders to traffic stolen goods,' said Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe. Stolen Goods Reveal Chopped Cars and Bikes Investigators uncovered chopped parts of a Ford Ranger stolen in Nyanga, including critical components like the engine and dashboard. Sixty disassembled motorcycles, hidden in drums and containers, were traced to thefts from at least seven police precincts across the Western Cape, such as Bellville, Muizenberg, and Sea Point. Electronic goods suspected to have been stolen, including plasma televisions, sound systems, solar tower batteries, and cell phones, were also added to the haul. All were concealed in an elaborate smuggling setup designed to pass undetected through one of the busiest trade routes in southern Africa. 'The collaboration between our Anti-Smuggling Task Team and private security partners demonstrates the power of coordinated law enforcement efforts,' Hadebe noted. The total value of the recovered goods is estimated to exceed R3 million. Four Suspects to Face Justice Four foreign nationals, aged between 37 and 50, were arrested at the scene. They are expected to appear in the Polokwane Magistrate's Court on Monday, 9 June, to face charges related to possession of suspected stolen goods. Authorities have also seized the truck and trailers involved, treating the vehicle as key evidence in an ongoing investigation into cross-border smuggling syndicates. Hadebe assured the public, 'We will continue to target these criminal syndicates relentlessly until they are completely dismantled.'
