eMalahleni coach found guilty of molesting boys during soccer camps
Soccer coach Sibusiso Gama has been found guilty by the Witbank Magistrate's Court in eMalahleni of molesting minor boys entrusted to his care during soccer camps. Witbank News reports that Gama appeared in court on Tuesday, where legal proceedings surrounding three cases opened two years ago took place. Although he pleaded not guilty to all charges, he was acquitted in the first case, which occurred in September 2023. However, the magistrate found him guilty in the other two cases, which took place in mid-May that year. This follows his arrest in 2024 on charges of molesting three teenage boys during soccer camps. In court, it was revealed that in all three incidents, Gama targeted boys who slept next to him during the camps, using the opportunity to molest them. Gama remains in custody until his sentencing on July 15. Breaking news at your fingertips… Follow Caxton Network News on Facebook and join our WhatsApp channel. Nuus wat saakmaak.

Undocumented nationals meet their match in Mpumalanga
Five men appeared in Witbank Magistrate's Court earlier this week because they failed to provide valid documentation. They were arrested on May 3, during a stop-and-search operation as part of Operation Vala Umgodi at the Middelburg Toll Plaza. The men, aged between 18 and 35, were traveling in a Toyota Quantum with Gauteng registration number plates and were charged with contravening the Immigration Act of South Africa due to a lack of valid documentation. This operation comes just a week after a 47-year-old foreign national was arrested for similar offenses during Operation Vala Umgodi. The Acting Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Mpumalanga, Major General (Dr) Zeph Mkhwanazi, has expressed his appreciation for the work done by the members involved in Operation Vala Umgodi. The operation aims to combat illegal activities, including undocumented foreign nationals and illicit mining. These arrests highlight the ongoing efforts by the SAPS to enforce immigration laws.
