5 March 2025- A pastor (34) of the New Babillon Apostolic Church in Evaton West, briefly appeared at the Sebokeng Regional Court. He is accused of raping a girl (14), who is a member of his church multiple times. It is alleged that on 16 August 2024, the child, her parents and the pastor, were returning from a spiritual ritual in Clearence, Free State.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regional spokesperson, Lumka Mahanjana said when they stopped at a filling station to allow the victim to use the restroom, the pastor allegedly followed her to the restroom and raped her, while her parents waited in the car unaware of the incident. Mahanjana said following this, it is alleged that the pastor asked the victim’s mother to bring the girl to church for prayer sessions.
“On several occasions between August 2024 and January 2025, it is alleged that the pastor would rape the girl during the sessions, while her mother waited outside. The abuse came to light after the victim developed infections and confided in her sister, who informed their parents.
“The mother confronted the pastor and reported the matter to the police. The pastor was arrested on 2 March 2025, and made his first court appearance the following day. The case was postponed to 13 March 2025, for a formal bail application, which the state intends to oppose,” she said.
Mahanjana said the NPA remains dedicated to pursuing justice for victims of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and ensuring accountability for such crimes.
5 March 2025- The accused, Sarathamoney Devi Sigamoney (69) was sentenced to a cumulative 10 years imprisonment by the Pretoria North Regional Court for perjury, fraud and theft. This is after Sigamoney defrauded the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) pension payouts, while being the sole director of a company that was awarded tenders worth millions from the South African Police Service (SAPS) to supply office furniture.
The Investigating Directive Against Corruption (IDAC) spokesperson, Henry Mamothame said she has applied for leave to appeal and the court postponed the matter to 12 March 2025, for arguments. Mamothame said in his sentencing remarks, Magistrate Pieter Nel, highlighted the need to convey a strong message to potential perpetrators, on the seriousness of such offences.
“The court previously granted the Asset Forfeiture Unit a confiscation order against her, stipulating that an amount of R138 593.00 with interest calculated at 11.25% per annum, calculated from the date of this order, be paid back to SASSA.
“Sigamoney’s conviction is as a result of an occurrence of 13 April 2017, wherein she applied for an old age grant with SASSA, attaching a supporting affidavit wherein she stated that she has never worked for a period of 20 years,” he said.
Mamothame further said, on 18 April, SASSA provided Sigamoney with a letter of approval, which she signed for as received. He added that she is alleged to have received grant money from SASSA amounting to approximately R123 000, from July 2017 to July 2022.
“Subsequent to charges being registered against her, she continued to receive the grant for a further 16 months. Although she is listed as the director of KJP Traders Pty and Matthew Pillay (her son), KJP is alleged to have conducted business with the state as early as 2012, preceding her application to SASSA.
“Furthermore, the company is estimated to have cashed in approximately R88 million from the SAPS contracts, to which the last payment was in 2022,” said Mamothame.

5 March 2025- Situation continues to be volatile at the embattled Ditsobotla Local Municipality in Lichtenburg. This comes after two municipal employees were shot in an alleged standoff between the suspended Municipal Manager, Olaotswe Bojosinyane’s bouncers and municipal employees.
It is alleged that, on Tuesday, Bojosinyane who won his labour case against the municipality, arrived at the municipality premises and forced entry. However, the situation was triggered as a group of municipal employees denied him access.
The cagey Ditsobotla Local Municipality mayor, Mazwi Moruri confirmed that, indeed there was a shoot-out and two municipal employees were hospitalised.
“The version of the event that you have is correct. The situation was triggered by the alleged forceful entry into the municipal offices executed by the suspended Municipal Manager, Olaotswe Bojosinyane. It is true that the municipality has appealed the verdict on Monday.
“Two municipal employees were shot in the process and they were both hospitalised. As we speak, one has been admitted at Mafikeng Provincial Hospital, while the other is admitted at the General Delarey Hospital in Lichtenburg,” he said.
However, Bojosinyane came guns blazing and refuted the allegations. According to Bojosinyane, he was not anywhere nearer the Ditsobotla Local Municipality when the shooting took place.
“How can I comment on that because I was even anywhere near municipality premises when that happened?”
The Democratic Alliance (DA) spokesperson on Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) in North West, Chris Steyl said they have written to the North West MEC for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (COGHSTA), Oageng Molapisi, North West MEC for Community Safety and Transport Management, Wessels Morweng and the acting North West Police Commissioner, Major General Patrick Asaneng, requesting the immediate permanent deployment of the public order police unit at the municipality to restore order. Steyl alleged that, despite the unlawful decision by the ANC-led Ditsobotla Council to remove Bojosinyane from his position on 30 January 2025, the municipality is appealing the Labour Court judgement.
“The DA is on record that the Ditsobotla Local Municipality must be placed under Section 139 (7) national government administration to address the systemic issues plaguing the administration. Today’s events at the Ditsobotla municipal offices support our position that municipal workers have been politicised, creating a mafia-like state.
“This is the result of three decades of ANC cadre deployment and the politicisation of the municipal administration along ANC factional lines. Until the Minister of COGTA, Velenkosini Hlabisa, declares the national government’s intervention in Ditsobotla under Section 139(7), there is very little hope of any success to restore order and improve service delivery to residents,” he said.
Meanwhile, the North West police spokesperson, Colonel Adele Myburgh said: “From start of business on Tuesday, various groupings formed at Ditsobotla Local Municipal offices with the view to continue with disruptive actions and to prevent the normal day to day running of the municipality and to prevent advocate Bojosinyane to return to office and to resume duties.
“The municipality also beefed-up security of the office and the contracted security officials generally referred to as “Bouncers”, deployed additional personnel and prepared for crowd management by arming the personnel with riot gear.”
Myburgh said during the course of the morning, various alterations occurred between the groupings demanding entry into the municipal offices and the deployed security personnel. She said the participating groupings pelted the security personnel and municipal offices with stones, resulting in the situation turning violent and the security official allegedly firing several shots.
“A case of attempted murder was opened after the victim sustained a gunshot wound in his upper body, outside the municipal offices. He received medical treatment and was transferred to hospital. Another victim sustained a gunshot wound on his right lower foot. No case docket is registered as yet,” she said.
Myburgh said an intervention was held at Lichtenburg SAPS Boardroom on Tuesday, by the Lichtenburg SAPS Station Commander, Mahikeng Public Order Policing and Ditsobotla Local Municipality Management.
She said during this intervention, an agreement was reached that Bojosinyane will not currently return to office as an appeal was made against the Labour Court judgement by Ditsobotla Local Municipality and that feedback is awaited from this appeal process.
“The participants dispersed peacefully. However, the situation is currently very tense,” she said.

4 March 2025- The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD), in strategic partnership with the North West University (Mahikeng campus), officially launched the Agri-Hub at the North West University’s Molelwane Farm on Monday. The North West Premier, Lazarus Mokgosi said this is a ground-breaking initiative aimed to address food security challenges, while strengthening agricultural resilience within North West communities.
Mokgosi said the Agri-Hub will serve as a key platform for emerging farmers, equipping them with the technical expertise and business acumen needed to establish sustainable and competitive agricultural enterprises. He further said through hands-on training and exposure to modern farming techniques, young agri-preneurs will be better positioned to integrate into the broader agricultural value chain.
“I am indeed privileged and honoured to be part of this important initiative, which forms part and parcel of our ongoing efforts to give much specialised attention to the agricultural industry and fight the scourge of unemployment and poverty afflicting our communities.
“The North West Agricultural contribution to the province’s GDP is at 3,0%, with African and black farmers playing a minimal role in this regard. It is further indicated that North West ranks between 1 and 5 on production of soya beans, beef, chevon, sorghum, lucerne and groundnuts,” said Mokgosi.
He added that these statistics are important in the planning and development of an improved agricultural sector within the province. Mokgosi said it is therefore upon the Agri-Hub to turnaround this scenario.
“The execution of this initiative correlates with the Provincial Growth and Development Strategy (PGDS), which has placed a stronger focus on agriculture, to drive economic growth, alleviate poverty and create jobs. The launch of this Agri-Hub is primarily centred on the second priority of the Medium-Term Development Plan (MTDP-2025-2030), which is to fight poverty and high costs of living.
“As I indicated in our policy statement, the launch of this flagship programme further seeks to contribute to the province’s sustainable economic growth, and today marks the beginning of the realization of that promise. This Agri-hub will serve as a centre of excellence in the enhancement of livestock and crop value chains, support to our farmers through research, technology development, skills development and capacity building,” he said.
Meanwhile, the NWU principal and vice chancellor, Professor Bismark Tyobeka said: “Today marks a historic moment, as we gather to witness the realization of a transformative initiative aimed at addressing food security, economic development, and agricultural sustainability in our province. We must ensure that this noble initiative succeeds and contributes to our country’s economic development growth and job creation while simultaneously contributing to the United Nations Development Goals.
“The agricultural sector remains one of the crucial sectors that have the potential to grow our country’s economy, create more employment opportunities, and improve the living conditions of South Africans, especially rural communities. According to the latest available data, the South African agricultural sector contributes approximately 2.5% to the country’s GDP. We can all agree that the sector can contribute more than this.”
Tyobeka said recently Stats SA announced that the official unemployment rate decreased by 0,2% point to 31,9% in Q4:2024 compared to Q3:2024. He said regrettably, employment increased in all sectors between Q3:2024 and Q4:2024, except in agriculture which decreased by 11 000 jobs.
“The North West Agricultural Hub is more than just a facility. It is a dynamic ecosystem designed to integrate research, capacity building, and commercialization.
“Through strategic collaboration between the government, North-West University, and private enterprises such as EKIM Wildlife, we are pioneering an innovative model that will transform agricultural production, processing, and market accessibility,” said Tyobeka.
He said, therefore, this initiative must be seen as a contribution to the Agriculture and Agro-Processing Master Plan which is a social compact between labour, government, civil society, and industry, and seeks to promote inclusive growth, competitiveness, transformation, employment, and food security. Tyobeka said at its core, the Hub is about adding value to farmers, to students, to researchers, and to the broader economy.
“The focus on crop production, beef and dairy beneficiation, and goat commercialization will unlock immense economic potential. In March 2020, Statistics South Africa released the Census of Commercial Agriculture 2017 report, which indicated that the total income for the commercial agriculture industry in 2017 was R332,8 billion, which was higher than the R85,9 billion recorded for 2007.
“In 2017, the major contributor to total income was livestock farming (R120,8 billion or 36,2%), followed by mixed farming (R95,0 billion or 28,6%). In terms of employment, the provinces with the lowest number of commercial agriculture employees were Gauteng (36 517 or 4,8%) and North West (57 758 or 7,6%),” he said.

3 March 2025- A man (33), briefly appeared in Klerksdorp Magistrate’s Court on charges of fraud. In May 2022, the accused, Minhaz Ahmed Patel allegedly went to a car dealership in Klerksdorp to apply for financing of a BMW 4 series M4 Coupe valued at R1.4 million.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regional spokesperson, Sivenathi Gunya, Patel allegedly submitted fraudulent documents and his motor vehicle finance was approved by the bank. Gunya said he subsequently received the vehicle, which he never made any payment for since its purchase as credit agreement states.
“As a result, the bank suffered a loss of R1.4 million. The matter was referred to the Klerksdorp based Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation for further handling. Following a lengthy trace, the suspect was arrested by the police at OR Tambo International Airport, while trying to flee to his home country on 2 March 2025.
“Patel appeared before court and the matter was postponed to 13 March 2025, for formal bail application,” he said.
Meanwhile, the acting North West Head for the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI), Brigadier Silas Munzhedzi and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in North West, Dr Rachel Makhari, lauded the investigation and prosecution team for their relentless efforts in ensuring that perpetrators face the full might of the law.

3 March 2025- The North West province has allegedly been experiencing persistent medicine shortages. According to allegations, there is a shortage of cancer medicine at various healthcare centres across the province.
However, the North West MEC for Health, Sello Lehari has assured patients and communities of a stable supply of medicines and other pharmaceutical services, despite the ongoing challenges which are being attended to. Lehari said it is important to note that pharmaceutical services in the province were placed under internal intervention during November 2023, following the system crash of the stock inventory management system at the provincial medicines depot.
“Since then, changes have been made in Provincial Pharmaceutical Management with the aim to improve Pharmaceutical Service Delivery and overall medicine availability. Processes related to procurement of medicines have been upgraded and improved to ensure that there is an increase in meeting the growing demand in public healthcare in the province.
“The medicine availability in pharmacies in the province is currently monitored through manual processes from product data reports as extracted from stock inventory management systems. As things stand, the average total medicine availability in 31 public sector pharmacies in the province is at 85.12% against a target of 80% medicine availability,” he said.
Lehari further said this shows that medicine availability in the province is improving since the intervention plan to address the challenges identified in 2023, started to be implemented. He added that cancer medication is procured through the National Contract for Supply and Delivery of Oncology and Immunological Agents to the Department of Health.
“Over the past few months, our department has experienced challenges in terms of inconsistent supply of a limited number of cancer medications. The contracted suppliers for medication that is used as treatment of choice for breast cancer have reported supply constraints to National Department of Health (NDoH) and the Chief Director for Sector Wide Procurement has released a circular to all health departments explaining how treatment should be adjusted and which alternatives should be used for the treatment of breast cancer.
“The current situation is such that the National Department of Health has embarked on a process to obtain quotations for alternative suppliers and the matter is receiving urgent attention. Currently, patients are getting Tamoxifen as the third alternative for management of breast cancer,” said Lehari.
He said the challenge is that due to the side effects, this item is not preferred by patients. Lehari said, currently, they have enough stock of Tamoxifen in their pharmacy.
“All changes to patient medication are made in consultation with specialists and in the best interest of patient outcome. South Africa is following a centralized procurement, where national contracts are awarded for procurement of medicines as contained in standard treatment guidelines and included in the essential medicines list.
“The province is not immune to the delays in shipping of medicines from different countries, as well as production problems that can cause delays in timeous delivery of medicines to service delivery points. From time to time, the department encounters increased demand or sudden increase in demand for certain medicines which can lead to temporary shortages,” he said.
Lehari said the regulatory delays where manufacturers have to apply for licensing of newly registered medicines can cause a slowdown in production and distribution. He said there are also financial challenges, where companies announce discontinuation of manufacturing of medicines and this can lead to fewer available options.
“These challenges are also compounded by trade restrictions, conflicts and international policy changes that can disrupt medicine supply processes. In some instances, protest actions can negatively impact the distribution of medicines where roads are closed and routes are not accessible which causes a delay in delivery of medicines to service delivery points.
“Working closely with Sector Wide Procurement and Affordable Medicines Directorate at National Level to escalate medicine supply chain challenges and seek solutions to challenges. The department is implementing a number of interventions including implementation of a stock out escalation protocol as an early warning sign to seek alternative treatment to ensure continuity of care,” said Lehari.
He said this includes continuous contracted supplier engagements to inform suppliers of challenges and/or increased needs to meet needs in terms of patient care. Lehari said they will also have an improved communication to clinicians to ensure that they communicate medicine stock out challenges and alternative options available to achieve the same therapeutic outcomes.
“Enrolment of patients on the Central Chronic Medicine Dispensing and Distribution Program, where a contracted service provider supplies medicines to chronic stable patients. Raise public awareness through patient education sessions, adherence clubs and radio interviews.
“Pharmacy Managers meeting will be conducted weekly from 5 March 2025, going forward to ensure that challenges are communicated effectively and corrective measures are implemented without delay. So, I am confident that our department is making positive progress towards adequate medicine availability in the province and that the challenges are being addressed,” he said.
Lehari said he had studied reports on the status of pharmaceutical services and medicine availability. He said different stakeholders in and outside the province continue to work with his department to deal with challenges and other factors within and outside of our control.
3 March 2025- Two men aged 36 and 38, were arrested by the police in Van Zylrus for possession of dagga worth R19 000 during Operation Shanela. This comes after the police confiscated the bags of dagga from a VW Polo during a vehicle check point over the weekend.
The Northern Cape police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Sergio Kock said the Operation Shanela remains focused and continues to stamp down the authority of the state during the weekly multidisciplinary police actions, which commenced on 24 February 2025 until 2 March 2025.
“The initiative was executed in the five districts. These disruptive actions resulted in the arrest of 256 persons and wanted suspects as well as the confiscation of numerous weapons, drugs, alcohol, livestock and other items. Operation Shanela is in full swing across the province with high-density operations that includes roadblocks, stop and searches, the tracking and tracing of wanted suspects and heightened police visibility aimed at preventing and combating serious and violent crimes during the disruptive actions.
“Numerous vehicle check points (VCPs) and roadblocks were conducted across the province, during which a total of 2968 vehicles and 7128 persons were stopped and searched. Compliance inspections at second-hand dealers, scrapyards, recyclers, private security, firearm dealers, formal and informal businesses, as well as farms were conducted as well as several community awareness campaigns,” he said.
Kock further said operational successes achieved, included the arrest of suspects for murder, attempted murder, assault, burglary, illegal dealing in liquor, illegal firearms and ammunition, theft off or out of motor vehicle, malicious damage to property and driving under the influence of alcohol. He added that, this includes robbery, rape, possession of dangerous weapons, dealing in and possession of drugs, illegal immigrants, stock theft and other crimes.
“The police confiscated large volumes of alcoholic beverages, drugs, dangerous weapons, fuel, copper, and cash that is believed to be the proceeds of crime,” said Kock.
Meanwhile, the Northern Cape Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Koliswa Otola, expressed her gratitude to all law enforcement agencies for the collective efforts and actions executed during this period. Otola also reiterated that no one will be left behind when it comes to fighting crime as it involves the robust involvement and support of community structures and external role players.
“We urge everyone to be alert and vigilant and report any suspicious criminal activity immediately to the police using the SAPS 08600 10111 number or the MySAPS app to continue to assist the police in fighting crime,” she said.
