ANC MP Vytjie Mentor has taken to social media to share a story that has left her followers fearing for her life. In a Facebook post, Mentor said she was driving out of her garage on Wednesday when her Land Rover Evoque started jerking badly. As if that wasn’t enough, later in the day, the gear refused to move from reverse to drive mode, only to then stop abruptly in the middle of the road with moving traffic. She said she quickly pressed the ‘stop’ button and restarted it, but then it jumped forward at high speed. “I could have smashed into the car in front of me! It was only grace that made sure that no one hits me from the back and that I don’t crash at high speed into a vehicle in front of

CAPE TOWN - It was his dream move to European football, and now it has become a nightmare for Rivaldo Coetzee. The 20-year-old Ajax Cape Town defender just needed to complete a medical and secure a work permit to join the Scottish giants in Glasgow after the clubs agreed terms. But in an unfortunate development late on Saturday night, the Urban Warriors announced on their website that Coetzee had failed the medical and will have to return to Cape Town. The Cape club did express their surprise, though, as Coetzee has been playing without any problems and in fact scored a goal for Ajax in his last match against Golden Arrows last weekend. “Ajax Cape Town can confirm that Rivaldo Coetzee will return

It may seem far from obvious, but behind the scenes of what’s going on in Port Elizabeth is the Patriotic Alliance’s Gayton McKenzie, one of the political scene’s lowest fliers and one of the EFF’s most hated individuals. To recap, here are some of the obvious things we all already know: The DA is governing Nelson Mandela Bay in coalition with Mosiuoa Lekota’s Cope, the UDM’s Bantu Holomisa and Kenneth Meshoe’s ACDP.

However, the support of Julius Malema’s party for the DA in Pretoria and Johannesburg is crucial for it to

The United States plans to stop issuing visas to citizens from four countries that it says aren’t accepting deported citizens. The list includes three African countries - Eritrea, Guinea and Sierra Leone - as well as Cambodia. The U.S. has suspended visas twice before under previous administrations in efforts to push deportations forward. Last week, the Department of Homeland Security notified the Department of State that the four countries are refusing to accept or are unreasonably delaying the acceptance of nationals deemed to be in the United States illegally, a violation of section 243(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Now, the State Department is evaluating how to implement the

It isn’t hard to see why a gang of armed men chose the Pat Mbatha Road near Booysens to carry out a brazen operation to bust awaiting-trial prisoners out of a police truck. According to Lieutenant-Colonel Lungelo Dlamini‚ the road is not open to the public and is meant for government officials and Rea Vaya buses only. “It is not open to the public but I can say that state vehicles use that road. They are not being stopped by the Metro Police. Most of the police officers use that road to get to town‚” said Dlamini. But as the publication visited the scene‚ it found that there was no controlled access to the road‚ which is in a quiet‚ bushy area. Several buses and marked police vehicles used the
