Minister suspends EPWP funds to Matjhabeng
This follows reports that politically connected municipal workers are receiving inflated salaries through the EPWP.
Some workers allegedly receive salaries as high as R30,000 per month, while others are paid as little R1,500.
Macpherson says the EPWP was established to provide short-term, skills-based work opportunities, not to serve as a a vehicle for political patronage.

Businessman claiming Gaza roots deported from South Africa for fraud
A businessman claiming Palestinian roots has left the country after failing to force the Department of Home Affairs to allow him to legalise his status in South Africa. Image: File A businessman claiming to have Gaza, Palestine roots has left South Africa after failing to stop the Department of Home Affairs' bid to deport him after finding he had been using a fraudulent name. Manar Alnajjar or 'Frederik van Wyk' had been detained at the Lindela Repatriation Centre in Mogale City after being arrested in January this year at OR Tambo International Airport on his return from a business trip in Dubai. He was charged with possession of a fraudulent South African identity document and passport. Alnajjar appeared before the Nigel Magistrate's Court and pleaded guilty to contravening the Immigration Act and fraud in April and sentenced to three months direct imprisonment for fraud and R120,000 for being in the country illegally. The court suspended R100,000 of the amount for three years on condition that he is not found guilty of a similar offence. After completing his sentence, Alnajjar was transferred to the Lindela Repatriation Centre for deportation. In his defence, he claimed he first entered the country in 2007 using a visitor's visa and subsequently obtained a general work visa in February 2011. Alnajjar stated that he aspired to be a permanent South Africa citizen and engaged the services of an immigration agent. Afterwards, they visited the offices of the Home Affairs in Nigel, which then furnished him with the South African ID containing his photograph and under the name 'Frederik van Wyk'. It was during his stay at the Lindela Repatriation Centre in July that Alnajjar launched an urgent application to the Gauteng High Court, Johannesburg to force Home Affairs director-general Livhuwani Makhode, minister Dr. Leon Schreiber and the head of the centre to release him to legalise his status in the country. Alnajjar told the court that he previously held a Jordanian passport and that his family is originally from Gaza but after the 1967 Six-Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbours, his family along with others were forced to relocate to Jordan. During his time in South Africa, he knowingly used the fraudulent document and used it to apply for a passport. Alnajjar added that he had a life partner who is a Ukrainian citizen, also a permanent resident and holder of a permanent South African non-citizen document, and together they had a daughter, who is 11 months old. In 2013, he married a Bulgarian citizen but divorced her in 2022. He also insisted that he is a successful businessman and a shareholder of a company operating in the recycling space in and outside South Africa and that he employed about ten people. Alnajjar said the company had been steadily expanding until he was arrested earlier this year. However, Acting Judge Patrick Malungana said the court could not countenance the perpetuation of illegal activities despite showing remorse by pleading guilty for fraud after he was arrested in possession of those fraudulent documents. 'The applicant (Alnajjar) has known all along of his fraudulent identity document. It is only when the law caught up with him that he pleaded guilty, and has some sort of expectation for the law to prevent his deportation because he has some family and business interests in the country,' the acting judge said, explaining his decision to dismiss the urgent application last week.

WATCH: Mbalula responds to IDT CEO's attempt to bribe journalist
African National Congress (ANC) secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has weighed in on the R60,000 bribery scandal involving the Independent Development Trust (IDT). The IDT's suspended CEO, Tebogo Malaka, and spokesperson Phasha Makgolane allegedly attempted to bribe a Daily Maverick journalist to halt an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption. An exposé, accompanied by images from the encounter, was published this morning, 6 August. The publication obtained video footage and audio clips from the meeting. ADVERTISEMENT MBALULA SAYS LAW MUST DEAL WITH CORRUPTION During a media briefing on the outcomes of the ANC's National Executive Committee meeting, Mbalula addressed the alleged bribery attempt. He stated that if Malaka and Makgolane are found guilty, they must face the full force of the law. 'All those implicated in corruption; the law must deal with them. It doesn't matter who they are,' said Mbalula. IDT LINKED TO DODGY DEALINGS According to its website, the IDT is a Schedule 2 state-owned entity. It is responsible for managing and implementing infrastructure programmes on behalf of the government. Malaka was suspended by the IDT's board of trustees following irregularities in an R800 million oxygen plant tender. Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Dean Macpherson has recommended disciplinary action against Malaka and other implicated officials. According to the Daily Maverick, the publication has also been probing Malaka's property dealings and her alleged ties to an IDT contractor.

The PIC's Resilience: From Steinhoff to R3 Trillion – Now Let Its CEO Lead
Public Investment Corporation (PIC) CEO Patrick Dlamini. Image: Supplied The Public Investment Corporation (PIC) is one of South Africa's greatest institutional assets—literally and figuratively. Despite being rocked by scandals such as the Steinhoff collapse, and years of political brinkmanship, the PIC has not only survived but tripled its assets to over R3 trillion. This is no small feat. It is a testament to the resilience of the institution, the professionalism of its staff, and, above all, the power of workers' collective capital. This remarkable growth didn't happen by chance. It is the legacy of seasoned leadership: Elias Masilela, who brought post-crisis stability after 2008; Dr. Dan Matjila, who expanded its developmental investment mandate; and Abel Sithole, who defended its integrity through unprecedented political pressure. Today, the PIC has a new CEO, Mr Patrick Dlamini, who brings an unblemished record of ethical leadership and financial discipline from his tenure at the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA). His appointment marks a turning point—not just for the PIC, but for every public servant whose pension is invested through it. This Is Workers' Money—Not a Political Slush Fund Let us be clear: over 90% of the PIC's assets belong to public servants—teachers, nurses, police officers, and cleaners. These are ordinary South Africans who dedicate their lives to public service, and whose dignity in retirement rests on the prudent management of these funds. That the PIC has grown from R1 trillion to R3 trillion in just over a decade is a testament to the power of worker-led capital and the calibre of iits custodians. But history has shown that political interference—not market forces—is the PIC's greatest threat. We've seen attempts to pressure the institution into bailing out failing state-owned enterprises. We've witnessed the weaponisation of 'strategic investment' language to mask corrupt deals. And we've watched as principled CEOs have been hounded out of office for refusing to rubber-stamp politically motivated transactions. Let there be no doubt: the vultures are circling once again. Defend the Institution, Defend the Workers CEO Patrick Dlamini must be allowed to lead—without fear, favour, or interference. His mandate is not to please politicians; it is to grow workers' assets in a manner that is ethical, transparent, and impactful. He has already shown, through his time at the DBSA, that developmental finance and good governance can coexist. That is the leadership the PIC needs, and that is what public servants deserve. We therefore call for: Unambiguous support for Dlamini's independence. The PIC cannot afford to lose yet another CEO to political manoeuvring. Robust parliamentary oversight that rejects looting disguised as 'strategic investment.' Any effort to hijack workers' pensions for factional ends must be publicly exposed and legislatively defeated. A sharpened focus on investments that uplift the working class, such as affordable housing, student accommodation, healthcare infrastructure, and job-creating industries. These are investments that return financial value and social justice. The PIC Is Not for Sale Let us remind ourselves: the PIC is not a political toy. It is not a honey pot for the connected few. It is the backbone of 1.2 million public servants' pensions—and by extension, the dignity of their families, communities, and future generations. To the politicians: hands off. To the workers: stand up and be counted. To Patrick Dlamini: stay the course—we've got your back. If the PIC is to remain a vehicle for economic justice and shared prosperity, it must be led by professionals and protected from predators. South Africa needs institutions it can trust. The PIC, if properly defended, can remain exactly that. Tahir Maepa.
