The immigration official wasn’t a state witness? This is a problem that our elected leaders are failing to deal with. This court just confirmed the complications in implementing that Concourt order on asylum seekers. It’s pure anarchy.
BREAKING NEWS: The three Ethiopian nationals who are accused of the attempted murder that led to riots and torching of cars and businesses in the Durban CBD three weeks ago have been freed on R5000 bail by the Durban Magistrate’s Court.
The State wanted them to remain behind bars, saying they are flight risks, but the defence disagreed. The State said they won’t be safe outside, but the defence argued that all three accused literally live minutes away from three police stations in the Durban CBD and their safety is guaranteed.
The Magistrate remarked that the three are asylum seekers and as such, they enjoy the same constitutional rights as South Africans and freed them on bail with stringent conditions.
Furthermore, the State tried to point out discrepancies in their passports and asylum documents, raising issues of possible fraud and corruption.
However, the State’s argument was watered down by evidence that was given by an immigration official who told the court that their systems have glitches and sometimes it loses records, hence they don’t have some of the information required for the court to take an informed decision - KZN Tonight Podcast
Ja noh. Asylum seekers facing attempted murder charges. They can simply move to another country mos 🤷🏾♂️

If ppl who holds a season ticket are declined access this Saturday, then the club is in breach of its own T&C. But like most things in local football, they don’t care.

7. Matches Included
7.1 A Season Ticket entitles the Holder to general stand admission to all Betway Premiership home fixtures played by the Club at Orlando Stadium during the 2026/2027 season, together with the OPFC Derby and the Mamelodi Sundowns

Nov 4 was announced in April as election day but fixtures released in July still didn’t factor this 😳🤡
𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗣𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗗!
#BetwayPrem fixtures scheduled for Wednesday, 4 November, have been postponed due to local government elections.
#UNPLAYABLE
Is this true? 🤔
I’m utterly disgusted by @orlandopirates, the treatment of season ticket holders is PATHETIC and UNCONSTITUTIONAL! We pay a lot with our hard earned money and yet we are treated HORRIBLY. Being told the Soweto Derby, a Pirates HOME game at FNB Stadium is excluded. We are sent from pillar to post between The club, ticketing company and stadium management. Who is accountable?
How can you claim to value your supporters while failing to communicate such crucial information clearly? If the Sundowns game goes to FNB this means the package is EXACTLY the same as someone who didn’t buy the season ticket, we have every right to question the value of this package. And the worst part is that… Lol they told themselves that they don’t “answer to anyone”.
We are loyal supporters, not cash cows. We deserve transparency, accountability and fair treatment, not confusion and excuses. I’m genuinely livid that our loyalty is being met with this level of disregard. Pirates MUST address this and give clear answers! 🤬🏴☠️🚮

If they can pick it up when it's time to claim, why don't they pick it up when it's time to collect premiums.
They are just scamming innocent old people who don't understand fine print and the government has left our people for these wolves 🙄
This is a distraction. We have a test match to win.
Two World No. 1 Rankings. One Marco Jansen! 🤯👑
ICC World No. 1 Test Bowler. ICC World No. 1 Test All-Rounder. Marco Jansen is sitting pretty at the summit of world cricket! 😤
This is what dreams are made of. An extraordinary achievement for a truly special talent, and a moment to savour for South African cricket. 🇿🇦
You simply cannot script this! 🥹
#Unbreakable #SAvAUS
