Police bust reveals counterfeit money printed, stored in Centurion shack
According to police the raid follows crime intelligence receiving information on a dwelling in Olievenhoutbosch's Chuba Informal Settlement believed to be used in the manufacturing and storage of counterfeit currency.
Tshwane Flying Squad spokesperson Sergeant Alfred Makwati Legodi said when police arrived, a suspect fled on foot and managed to evade capture.
'Upon arrival at the identified location, the suspect, an African male, fled the scene on foot. A search of the premises led to the discovery of an undisclosed quantity of counterfeit money concealed in plastic bags inside the shack.'
He said the counterfeit money was seized and booked as evidence at Olivenhoutbosch SAPS.
No arrests were also made in connection with the operation.
'We are appealing to the public to assist in locating the suspect involved in the counterfeit money operation.
'If you have any information, please contact Olievenhoutbosch SAPS or call the SAPS Crime Stop line at 10111. Your information can make a difference,' said Legodi.
Legodi said the Tshwane Flying Squad is committed to restoring law and order, whether it's taking down counterfeit crime or removing reckless drivers from the streets.

Lawyer tackles eSwatini authorities after being blocked from consulting US criminal deportees
Seasoned eSwatini human rights lawyer Sibusiso Nhlabatsi spoke to IOL on his fight to access the criminals deported from United States. Image: Supplied Seasoned Eswatini human rights lawyer Sibusiso Nhlabatsi has launched a High Court bid to gain access to five "dangerous" convicted criminals deported to the African nation from the United States. Nhlabatsi is challenging the prison authorities' refusal to allow him to meet and consult with the detained men. According to media reports, the deported men intend to challenge their presence in eSwatini. Earlier this week, IOL reported that the deportation of the five hardened criminals, a decision by US President Donald Trump's administration, reportedly took Eswatini citizens and activists by surprise and shock. The United States sent five men it describes as 'barbaric' criminals to the neighbouring Kingdom of eSwatini. Image: X Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Speaking to IOL on Friday, Nhlabatsi said his commentary is limited because the matter is before the courts. 'However, the core of my application is to ask the court to grant me an order to access the deportees. I have been given specific instructions by three US-based attorneys who were representing them back home, and the purpose of my visit is simply to fulfill those instructions,' Nhlabatsi told IOL. 'Last Friday, the prison authorities denied me access, citing that they were still working on facilities or gadgets that would allow the deportees to call home.' Nhlabatsi argued that the actions of the eSwatini authorities were unlawful. 'In my view, this is unlawful because it denies them legal access and representation which is constitutionally guaranteed,' he said. IOL reported earlier this week that the move has also sparked outrage in the small landlocked nation, and fears abound that the criminals may end up in South Africa. The Trump administration announced over a week ago that it would be sending the men who are illegal immigrants from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Yemen and Cuba convicted of child rape, murder, burglary, and being gang members and whose countries refuse to take them back. Speaking to IOL previously, Bheki Makhubu, editor of the monthly news magazine The Nation, said people of eSwatini feel betrayed. 'Essentially, emaSwati feel they were betrayed by the leadership of eSwatini. This move came as a complete surprise and seems to have been arranged and known by only a select few people. This deal feels like an invasion of our country by the US. We feel our leaders have sold our country to Trump behind our backs,' he said. 'This country is nobody's personal property and therefore we're upset and most importantly, afraid. There's a fear that if this is allowed to continue, and it looks like more prisoners are coming, one day we will wake up and find that we've been annexed by another country behind our backs.' Makhubu added that his understanding was that the dangerous criminals are set to spend only a year in eSwatini. Bheki Makhubu, editor of the eSwatini monthly news magazine The Nation spoke to IOL Image: Supplied 'If, as we are told, they are not wanted in their own countries, what will happen to them? Our economy is very small, I doubt they'll want to stick around once free. The next best place to go is South Africa. 'Remember, South Africa is the gateway to the rest of the world and the economy is large enough for them to try and make a living there. So they could also seek to make your country home,' said Makhubu. Earlier this month, IOL reported that the Kingdom of eSwatini has become the focus of regional scrutiny following the arrival of the five foreign nationals deported from the United States and transferred to its correctional system — individuals convicted of serious crimes, including murder and child rape.

Policing crisis is symptom of SA's transition into a violent democracy
South Africa has undergone a second transition, away from the ideals of a constitutional democracy, first into a gatekeeper state, and then increasingly into what academics call a 'violent democracy'. President Cyril Ramaphosa recently established a judicial commission of inquiry, chaired by Acting Deputy Chief Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, to investigate Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi's allegations that 'sophisticated criminal syndicates have infiltrated law enforcement and intelligence structures in South Africa'. Naturally, much of the attention has been on the toxic relationship between ANC politicians, corrupt businesspeople and the country's top police structures. However, while it is tempting to believe that this is just another example of the rot infecting the South African state, this would be a mistake, because these activities are not an aberration of South Africa's weak state but rather an outcome of the dysfunctional democratisation process that has unfolded in the country over the last few decades. Gatekeeper state In common with many other post-independent African states, South Africa transitioned from the horrors of colonialism and racism into being a gatekeeper state. In these fragile states, the control of access to wealth and power, rather than governance, is the ultimate political prize. Over time, state wealth and power are increasingly centralised and contested among the elites, while service delivery and governance for most of the population languish at the periphery. Political authority is therefore less about guiding national development and more about managing the intersection between internal resources and external recognition. At its core, a gatekeeper state revolves around who controls the 'gate'. In South Africa, this gate was historically guarded by the ANC so long as there was uncontested electoral recognition. Governance, in this framework, becomes a zero-sum game where controlling the gate is paramount because losing power means losing access to wealth. This has irredeemably reshaped the internal dynamics of the ANC, fuelling factionalism as different groups within the party compete for control of shrinking state resources. Consequently, the government is increasingly unable to meet its service delivery obligations because public office is not about public service but is instead a means of ensuring financial rewards, and because service delivery is not about optimal provision within the budgetary limits but is instead a means to garner political loyalty. Over time, as the ANC's factional battles worsened, the ANC's response has been to centralise control, consolidating authority in the Presidency, marginalising Parliament, and actively eroding independent institutions. However, as the ANC's electoral support has declined, gatekeeping, instead of weakening, has decentralised and now infects both formal and informal political-economic structures. The consequence of this system is neo-patrimonialism — ruling by patronage rather than by policy — that replaces governance as hollowed-out formal institutions are replaced with informal networks based on political allegiance and reciprocal favours. Loyalty is rewarded not through public service delivery or national development, but instead by access to tenders, jobs, and contracts. As the electorate loses faith in political leadership, political support is 'purchased' via patronage networks rather than earned through effective governance. Violent democracy The implications for South Africa's democratisation have been grim. In the years of the Zuma-Ramaphosa presidencies, South Africa has undergone a second transition, away from the ideals of a constitutional democracy, first into a gatekeeper state, and increasingly into what academics call a ' violent democracy '. This is not merely a democracy with violence. In this aberrant form of democracy, violence is an implicit part of the political system. Assassinations, intimidation and State Capture are features of how power is contested, contained, and controlled. In a violent democracy the state does not have the sole legitimate right to use violence — instead elite coalitions, criminal networks, and even taxi associations can use violence to capture and replace democratic governance. Naturally, as violent democracy deepens, constitutional democracy weakens. South Africa's democratic institutions, once the pride of our post-apartheid dispensation, are now infected with corruption, inefficiency and decay. The ANC cannot be reformed, but whether the Government of National Unity can resurrect the democratic institutions of accountability and reverse the country from its dark path remains to be seen. If not, then the dream of a free, fair, and equal South Africa will likely become just another casualty of rapacious greed. DM

Child kidnappings on the rise in Pretoria: Parents urged to stay vigilant
Child kidnappings on the rise in Pretoria: Parents urged to stay vigilant Pretoria is facing a disturbing surge in child kidnappings, with recent police statistics revealing a sharp increase in reported cases. Pretoria Rekord reports that as fear grows among families, authorities are urging parents to remain alert and take proactive steps to protect their children from falling victim to these crimes. Here are the hotspots for kidnappings in Pretoria according to the latest crime stats: Kidnapping stats: Pretoria and surrounds (Q4 2024/2025) Police station kidnapping cases (Jan–Mar 2025): Pretoria Central 22 Pretoria West 12 Brooklyn 8 Garsfontein 5 Sunnyside 20 Silverton 5 Villieria 4 Wonderboompoort 3 Boschkop (includes Mooikloof, Equestria, etc.) 3 Akasia 13 Erasmia 7 Hercules 6 Pretoria Central and Sunnyside were the top two stations for reported kidnappings in the city during this period. Last month, the DA member of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature and Midrand Constituency Head, Michael Sun, said Gauteng is officially the epicentre of kidnapping in South Africa, with more than half of the country's kidnappings taking place in the province. He said criminals are exploiting dating apps to lure and forcibly take unsuspecting victims. 'Another alarming trend involves foreign African nationals who use kidnapping to settle commercial disputes. 'In many of these cases, the victims or their families refuse to co-operate with the police, hampering efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice.' Sun said these methods are evident in the sickening story of Olerato Mongale, who met her gruesome end on a first date. 'There is also a high-profile incident where a well-known businessman and philanthropist was abducted on May 27 in Pretoria West. 'A gang of armed assailants rammed into his vehicle and forcibly took him. Despite these terrifying incidents, Premier Panyaza Lesufi has been silent and actionless. 'His promise of high-end technology and crime prevention wardens, known as 'Amapanyaza', for fighting crime is not paying off for residents.' What defines a kidnapping? According to South African law, kidnapping is a separate crime from abduction. Abduction: The unlawful taking of a minor from their parent or guardian for marriage or sexual exploitation. Kidnapping: When a child is detained, taken away and held for ransom money. What to do if your child is kidnapped: The first 24 hours are crucial, and if you take action as soon as possible, it drastically improves the chances of the authorities finding a missing child. If your child is kidnapped: Find a recent and clear photograph of your child. Make sure his/her face is visible. Go to your nearest police station immediately to open a case (produce the photograph). There is no waiting period to report a missing person. Provide a clear description of the child (age, height and weight). Mention what the child was wearing when you last saw them and point out if the child has any distinctive features or marks (such as a scar or birthmark). Complete and sign a SAPS 55 (A) form and make sure you get the investigating officer's contact details. Reach out to other organisations or NGOs that assist with finding missing children. For example, ICE Community Network can support by distributing flyers with all the relevant information to their volunteers, the media and social networks to help locate the missing person. They also remain in contact with the family and police if they received any tip-offs or leads. Stay in contact with the investigating officer and let them know if you have received any useful information that can assist with the search. Get professional psychological help. Dealing with a child going missing is emotionally taxing and strenuous, so it is best to have someone to talk to.
