In the early morning of September 20, 2023, the Tlhabane community in South Africa experienced a significant clampdown on criminal activity. Several law enforcement agencies, such as the South African Police Service (SAPS), Rustenburg Crime Intelligence, Tlhabane Visible Policing, District Crime Combating Unit, Bafokeng Reaction Force, and Nuco Chrome Protection Service, teamed up to bring down a group of ten criminals. This victorious effort resulted in the arrest of the offenders, who faced charges including drug possession and dealing, robberies, motor vehicle theft, attempted murder, and burglary.
Eskom, South Africa’s stateowned power utility, has been facing a host of problems, including rolling blackouts, financial turmoil, crime, corruption, and internal sabotage. The issues have become so deeply ingrained within the organization that forensic investigators have been called in to uncover the extent of the problem.
