LPR cameras lead to arrest of robbery suspects in Mondeor
The Mondeor SAPS arrested criminals involved in a robbery on July 13.
License plate reader (LPR) cameras provided crucial information about the vehicle used in the crime.
According to reports, on July 14, Fox Security reaction units chased and stopped the vehicle, identifying and arresting the suspects, who are in custody at the Mondeor SAPS.
'Fox received valuable information from their LPR cameras, which allowed them to track the suspects and bring them to justice,' said Colonel Masondo of the provincial SAPS, speaking on behalf of the Mondeor SAPS.
'The team's swift response and co-ordination with the Fox reaction units resulted in an arrest, and we are committed to ensuring justice is served. The suspects will be charged after the investigation is concluded,' he continued.

Mchunu and Zondo lay bare what's holding South Africa back
Suspended police minister Senzo Mchunu reportedly insisted Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi should have addressed his concerns with him before he made the public statements that led to the minister being put on special leave. This, as we have witnessed in the past, is the modus operandi of the ANC comrades. Time and again we learn of political figures in hot water, yet when it is time to face the music, most seem to just slip through the cracks faster than water disappearing in the desert sand. Political figures would tip each other off, toe the party line in protecting friends and colleagues, to the detriment of South Africa. Who is to say, why the minister would have insisted that Mkhwanazi first address these issues with him in private, whereas according to the esteemed general, the minister is at the centre of the problems in SAPS and crime intelligence specifically. As we have seen with Phala-Phala and other dubious activities at the highest levels, this would have been talked through in private and swept under the rug, leaving the minister and all others embroiled in the Mkhwanazi matter free to continue business as usual. Thankfully that was not the case this time around, because Mkhwanazi is dedicated to his job and loyal to South Africans and not 'the party'. For too long we have suffered the curse of holy cows in politics and government generally. Judge Raymond Zondo also lamented having to swear in politicians who had been implicated as having direct or indirect corrupt activity as per the Zondo commission. What is surprising is that the judge chose business as usual at the time and did not call out President Cyril Ramaphosa when it mattered. Only now does the judge feel it necessary to take the country into his confidence and speak out about something about which we have all been wondering.

NPA secures victory against fraud-accused Pretoria businessman
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has secured a victory against Pretoria businessman, Kishene Chetty. Chetty, together with Harry Milanzi and Ravin Ramlall, stand accused of fraud, forgery and money laundering, among other cases. Chetty and his defence team had filed an application before the Pretoria High Court to have all of his alleged corruption matters combined into one case. 'They argue that the charges in all the cases are similar,' said the NPA's Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) unit. However, NPA's IDAC opposed Chetty's application. They further accused his counsel of trying to introduce new evidence before court without prior consultation. 'The legal representatives of Chetty and others attempted to hand in four new lever arch files which were not provided to the court and the state in preparation for the hearing,' said IDAC. According to IDAC, the State argued that in law, an applicant can file a supplementary only if they obtain leave to do so from a court. The supplementary should also be preceded by a substantive application. 'The judge also questioned if it was correct for a criminal matter to be presided on by a civil court,' said IDAC. The court ruled in favour of the NPA, however, and Chetty's application was struck off the roll. He was further ordered to foot the cost of the legal fees. IDAC said among Chetty's co-accused are officials from the South African Police Service (SAPS) and private entities. All of them are facing multiple corruption charges relating to tender fraud within SAPS.
