19 November 2025- The Northern Cape MEC for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (COGHSTA), Bentley Vass said he is ready to welcome the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) permanent delegates to the Northern Cape. NCOP permanent delegates are conducting oversight over service delivery projects as part of the Provincial Week from 18 to 21 November 2025.
Vass said the 2025 Provincial Week, an annual flagship oversight and accountability programme of the NCOP, will take place under the theme: “Building Viable Municipalities for Enhanced Delivery of Basic Services to Communities.” He said through the programme, the permanent delegates return to their respective provinces to assess progress in the delivery of basic services and engage communities on challenges affecting their daily lives.
“This underscores the NCOP’s ongoing commitment to strengthening oversight and accountability as key priorities in improving the quality of life of all South Africans. The NCOP weeklong programme will focus on the ZF Mgcawu District and Namakwa District. The delegates will be receiving presentations on the measures taken to strengthen service delivery broadly, as well as the state of municipalities and measures taken to improve this sphere of government for effective service delivery.
“We welcome the NCOP delegation, which is mandated by Section 42(4) of the Constitution, to represent provincial interests at the national level. We are looking forward to the weeklong interaction that has the aim of identifying measures to enhance service delivery, promote accountability, and ensure that matters affecting our province are effectively brought to the attention of the National Government,’’ said Vass.
He further said the NCOP delegation started their programme in the ZF Mgcawu District on 18 November and will proceed to the Namakwa District, where they will also be engaging with communities and conducting in-loco inspection of some of the housing projects in the Namakwa District.
Meanwhile, the Northern Cape Premier, Dr Zamani Saul spokesperson, Naledi Gaosekwe said: “The NCOP received presentations from the Departments of COGHSTA and of Roads and Public Works, led respectively by Vass and Fufe Makatong, as well as the presentation of the state of municipalities in the Namakwa District, presented by the executive mayor, Mervin Cloete and inputs by SALGA and the Office of the Auditor-General.
“The presentations focused on issues relating to service delivery in municipalities, as well as the implementation of infrastructure projects across the province. The NCOP delegates will proceed to the Namakwa District to engage with the Karoo Hoogland and Hantam Municipalities, and visit key infrastructure projects, as well as host a public meeting in the Namakwa District as part of the weeklong programme that will end on 21 November 2025.”
19 November 2025- The North West Premier, Lazarus Mokgosi who will on Friday be joined by the MECs, the executive mayor of Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District, Motseokae Maje and Kagisano Molopo Local Municipality mayor in rolling out Phase 5 of Thuntsha Lerole Reloaded in Kagisano Molopo Local Municipality, will officially hand over the Rural Water Supply Project at Matlabatlaba village. Mokgosi said this in response to the community’s need for reliable and clean water services.
“We will also conduct oversight visits to water infrastructure projects, which include the Bona Bona Bulk Water Supply Project, Tlapeng Bulk Water Supply and Mabone Rural Water Supply, which upon completion, will ensure sustainable, uninterrupted water provision to households, businesses and public facilities in the municipality.
“This intervention is in line with the provincial government’s ongoing efforts to stabilise water supply systems across the province, and to accelerate service delivery,” he said.
Mokgosi further said driven by its commitment to continue providing decent housing for the poor, the leadership will hand over five of the completed RDP houses out of the 73 which were part of a blocked housing project in Tlapeng village. He further said with a focused intention to enhance safety across the local municipality’s rural areas, three Solar High Mast Lights out of the 50 that are erected at villages, including, Ganyesa, Austrey, Moswana, Setabeng, Makabole, Bona Bona, and Morekweng, will be handed over at Tseoge.
“Oversight visits will also be conducted at public schools and health facilities to assess service delivery progress and community needs. School furniture distribution will be carried out at Bray Intermediate School, this as part of the provincial government’s continued efforts to create a comfortable and productive learning and teaching environment.
“A range of social support services which will include the distribution of food parcels to identified older persons’ households through Operation Dignity, and distribution of agricultural support packages to ten identified households, will also be carried out,” said Mokgosi.
He said in an attempt to ease accessibility to public facilities such as clinics and schools, patching of potholes and blading of internal access roads will be amplified. Mokgosi said the Centralised Supplier Database (CSD) team will also be onsite to assist local SMMEs with registration, updating and amendment of their registered companies.
“The Thuntsha Lerole Reloaded programme will be rolled out in three other districts such as in Ngaka Modiri Molema District. The programme will be rolled out in Mahikeng Local Municipality at New Stars Sports Ground, in Rooigrond, while in Dr Kenneth Kaunda District, public services will be rendered at Boskuil Community Hall in Maquassi Hills Local Municipality.
“In Bojanala Platinum District, the programme will be rooled out at Mositwane Community Hall at Lerome village in Moses Kotane Local Municipality. As a constant and critical feature of this service delivery programme, a platform will be created for MECs, executive mayors and I, to engage with the community on progress registered in implementing various service delivery projects and programmes in their municipality,” he said.

19 November 2025 – A man (21) who is accused of killing his girlfriend, Reabetswe Ntheledi (21) is expected to appear before Zeerust Magistrate’s Court today, for bail application. The accused, Keamogetswe Mabe, was arrested on 16 November 2025, after he allegedly killed Ntheledi and set alight the shack with the victim’s body inside.
The North West police spokesperson, Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone said the atrocity took place on Sunday morning, 16 November 2025, at Extension 3, Mountain View, Ikageleng Township, in Zeerust. Mokgwabone said following the incident and through the assistance of the accused’s employer, the police found and arrested Mabe at a farm.
“Investigation into the matter continues and the motive is currently unclear although it is apparent that the pair had a quarrel prior to the incident,” he said.
Meanwhile, the acting North West Police Commissioner, Major General (Dr) Ryno Naidoo, expressed his disapproval of yet another Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) related murder. Naidoo commended members of the community, the police and farming community for their cooperation that led to the arrest.

By OBAKENG MAJE
19 November 2025- The North West Department of Education said it will not tolerate any sexual misconduct in schools. The department said sexual offence and statutory rape are completely not tolerated and thus far, out of 3900 fully vetted teachers, only four cases were identified and disciplinary process has begun, where precautionary letters are issued and awaiting responses to finalise disciplinary process.
The North West Department of Education spokesperson, Vuyo Mantshule said 16 000 teachers have submitted waiting for outcome certificates, while 12 000 teachers are in the process to submit required documents to finalize vetting. Manthsule said for 2024/25 financial year, five employees were dismissed for sexual offence and one dismissed for statutory rape.
“We continue to be vigilant and ensure that we continue with advocacy programmes and involvement of stakeholders to encourage everyone to report such cases and even going further to assess our learners that such doesn’t happen at home nor within the community. We are confident that in partnership with all stakeholders a long lasting solution would be found to protect the interest of our learners.
“The Department of Basic Education (DBE) has provided guidance to deal with sexual offence and statutory rape. The DBE and Department of Social Development has recently appeared before a joint Committee to update Parliament on what strategy departments are putting in place to prevent such occurrence,” he said.
Mantshule further said this emphasizes the collaboration between all sectors of the departments and civil society.
Meanwhile, the Portfolio Committee on Basic Education calls for stronger laws and coordination to curb sexual misconduct in schools. The committee called for an urgent and coordinated review of legislation and efforts to address the continued challenge of sexual misconduct relating to educators and learners.
The Chairperson of the Committee, Joy Maimela said: “The Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC) and the South African Council for Educators (SACE), briefed the committee on their roles and functions in addressing sexual misconduct and harassment in schools. This included the number of cases handled relating to educator misconduct, consequence management, programmes for the professional development of educators and the submission of registers for sexual offenders.
“Committee members heard that between 2018/19 and 2024/25 the ELRC recorded 469 cases of sexual misconduct involving educators. Of the 211 awards issued between 2021/22 and 2025/26, 176 educators were found guilty and 35 not guilty. The guilty findings were reported to the Department of Social Development and SACE for further processing. Upon receiving reports of misconduct and outcomes, SACE determines whether educators should be struck off the register.”
Maimela added SACE confirmed to the committee members that before issuing or renewing teaching certificates, it conducts rigorous vetting through criminal record and child protection databases, in partnership with the departments of Justice and Constitutional Development (DOJ and CD) and of Social Development. She said members also heard that SACE annually vets over 50 000 registration applications against the National Register of Sexual Offenders on behalf of teachers with their consent.
“However, due to the Department of Justice’s manual submission system, internal capacity and delays, SACE often registers applicants without feedback on their clearance certificate, with a signed declaration that they were never convicted of any sexual offences. Members were informed that proposed amendments to the SACE Act will strengthen re-registration and pre-screening processes.
“The committee noted and welcomed the presentation. Members called for a coordinated legislative response across the education and justice systems to protect learners from sexual abuse and other forms of exploitation. Members were particularly concerned about parents who withdrew complaints against educators and allegations of bribery or intimidation,” said Maimela.
She said while members appreciated the fears of secondary trauma to learner victims, they urged that the state, as the final custodian of children’s welfare, must push through with investigations and prosecutions even without parental consent. Maimela said some members also argued that interference with child abuse cases should be criminalised.
“Another concern flagged was that educators implicated in sexual misconduct often reappear elsewhere in the education system. Members expressed strong sentiments that these educators should be permanently barred from teaching. Regarding learner pregnancies in schools, members said that this warrants automatic investigation as it will help identify statutory rape cases.
“Members also enquired about case backlogs, reporting inconsistencies and the low number of cases finalised relative to the scale of the problem. They called for accountability with evidence of arrests, prosecutions and convictions. In this regard, the committee proposed a centralised national database to monitor educator misconduct, case outcomes and compliance with reporting duties,” she said.
Maimela said the ultimate measure of success lies in the justice delivered for victims and the prevention of future abuse.
“We must accept that the problem is more complex and because it involves Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and sexual misconduct, it affects our children directly. We must do everything in our power to prevent it. And if it does happen, we must ensure that justice is attained. The committee will submit written questions to both SACE and the ELRC for further clarification.
“We need to look closely at the legislative gaps. With all the laws in place, with all the councils and advocacy, why are we still here? The state is the ultimate custodian of children’s welfare, and their interests must always come first. The committee would continue to exercise its oversight role, as this is part of Parliament’s broader responsibility to protect the rights of children in education settings,” she said.

18 November 2025 – In noting the absence of certain member states at the G20 Summit currently under way in Johannesburg, the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on International Relations and Cooperation, Supra Mahumapelo said, it is not the first time that some of the G20 member states are absent for various reasons. Mahumapelo said of key importance is that the summit continues, despite any absences and continues to engage on the items on the agenda and make decisions to achieve desired and meaningful impact for individual nations and their citizens.
He further said divergence of views and contradictions among G20 member states is an unavoidable reality and the only course to adopt is through persuasion and discourse to reach common ground, thereby uniting member nations. Mahumapelo added that this enables G20 nations to reach a position that allows for cooperation rather than differences – thereby giving meaning to the initial creation of the G20 platform for the purposes of development of member nations.
“As the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on International Relations and Cooperation, I commend South Africa and Africa for hosting a successful G20 Summit. South Africa continued on a path of constructive engagement with the United States to attend the G20 Summit and will continue with that engagement, notwithstanding the absence of the US from the summit.
“South Africa and the rest of the African continent celebrate the hosting of the G20 Summit for the first time on African soil. This day will remain memorable in the minds of South Africans and take its special glory in the annals of South African history,” he emphasised.
18 November 2025- The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Western Cape said it has noted with grave concern an accident, where school learners were injured. The DA said a minibus taxi carrying 15 learners from New Orleans Secondary School overturned on Sonstraal Road, near Nederburg Wine Estate on Monday.
DA’s Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP), Prof Nomafrench Mbombo said they commend the Drakenstein Municipality and its Public Safety Department for their swift response, showing what good, caring and responsive governance looks like. Mbombo said they also call on all transport operators to exercise extreme caution, especially when transporting minors.
“Sadly, two learners sustained serious injuries, while six sustained minor injuries. The driver and the remaining six learners, who appeared uninjured, were all transported to hospital by the Western Cape Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and private ambulance services as a precaution.
“The DA in the Western Cape will continue to monitor the situation and advocate for safer roads for all residents, especially our children. We urge the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause of this incident and to help prevent similar tragedies in the future,” she said.
Meanwhile, Western Cape Department of Education spokesperson, Peter Johnson said their hearts are with the learners, their families and the staff of New Orleans Secondary School affected by this traumatic event. Johnson said the well-being of these children is their foremost concern and they wish a full and speedy recovery to those who were injured.
“This incident is a stark reminder of the immense responsibility borne by those tasked with transporting our children. We commend the swift and coordinated response from all emergency services. While we are thankful that the situation was not worse, this accident underscores the non-negotiable need for constant vigilance and the highest safety standards from every operator on our roads. There is no margin for error when children’s lives are in your hands,” she said.
18 November 2025 – A delegation of the Eastern Cape’s permanent delegates to the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) said it fully supports the province’s Premier Oscar Mabuyane’s initiative to request the deployment of soldiers to deal with deadly extortionists in the province. The delegates said this is a necessary and long-overdue intervention that the delegation will in equal measure urge the president to adopt.
The Provincial Whip and leader of the delegation, Nkosi Mwelo Nonkonyane said their province has lagged behind for too long on infrastructure development. Nonkonyane further said it is not fair on the companies, it is not fair on communities and ordinary South Africans that a few selfish thugs offer nothing and want to benefit from projects.
“This is criminal behaviour that should not be tolerated. Extortionists are not backing down, which begs the question whether arresting them and imprisoning them is adequate action to mitigate their behaviour. As permanent delegates to the NCOP, we are visiting our home provinces through the NCOP’s Provincial Week flagship programme, themed for 2025: Building viable municipalities for enhanced delivery of basic services to our communities.
“The delegation welcomes the fact that the Eastern Cape is not only a construction site by word, but also by deed, as evidenced through a number of new road projects and bridges it has seen through the province. We are set to visit various infrastructure projects, including Mzimvubu Dam, Ludeke Dam, Msikaba Bridge projects on the Wild Coast and the Ngquza Memorial Hill project,” he added.
Nonkonyane said they want to see their communities working and benefitting on these mega-infrastructure projects. He said any criminal project intended to hold this work back should be dealt with decisively and without fear or hesitation.
