COUNCILLOR GAVE AWAY MY RDP!
Sihle Zondi lost his RDP after former ward councillor, Eunice Majola, accused him of renting the house to a foreigner.  ~ 
WHEN Sihle Zondi was given an RDP house suitable for his disability in 2008, he was over the moon.
But today he is stuck in a transit camp called Jika Joe, where no one is willing to even help him get to the toilet.
A distraught Sihle (52) blamed his former councillor for this sad state of affairs.
He told Daily Sun he was given the RDP in Cinderella Park outside Pietermaritzburg back in 2008 when its owner could not be located.
All things went well until last January, when he had to go to hospital for an operation.
Sihle said since he lived alone he asked someone to stay in his RDP while he was in hospital for the whole month.
When he was discharged in February and arrived back home, however, he found that someone else had moved in!
“An unknown woman now lives in my house.
“She told me the councillor gave her the RDP and that the person I had left in the house had moved out.”
He said he went to his councillor, Eunice Majola, who told him there was nothing she could do and accused him of renting his RDP to a foreigner.
“She then said I would have to stay in the transit camp while I wait for another RDP,” Sihle said.
And that is where poor Sihle has been since February last year.
“No one is willing to help me. It’s hard to go to the toilet in my wheelchair. This place is not suitable for people with disabilities,” he said.
Majola said she was aware of the matter.
“I did not steal the RDP. I was informed that Sihle was renting the house out and would not be returning,” said Majola.
She said she then decided to give the house to another needy family.
Msunduzi’s mayor, Themba Njilo, said they would help Sihle and asked for his patience while they find him a suitable house.

STUN GRENADES FIRED!

COPS and people marching against immigrants were locked in a tense standoff in the Pretoria CBD this morning, with stun grenades going off near the Department of Home Affairs building.
A police helicopter hovered overhead and public order police officers weaved through the large crowd.
At one point, the group tried to push past the police.
Many in the crowd carried sticks, rods and other items.
One man said: "The foreigners have real guns. They are selling drugs and prostitution and the municipality is helping them. They must leave."
Some foreign nationals faced the group, shouting at them.
A group calling itself the Mamelodi Concerned Residents is leading the march to the Department of Home Affairs in protest against immigrants in South Africa.
Law enforcement officers will be deployed along the route and at venues where memorandums will be handed over, the cops have said.
Earlier on Friday morning, protesters blocked several streets in Atteridgeville, preventing residents from going to work and school.
Rocks were thrown and tyres were burnt.
Officials later cleared the debris so that traffic could flow freely.
Police spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Lungelo Dlamini said the police could not confirm whether or not the protest was related to the march.
No injuries were reported and no arrests have been made.
"Looting of a truck was reported. We are still waiting to confirm," said Dlamini.
Tshwane metro police spokesman Superintendent Isaac Mahamba said they had received reports of several shops being looted, but also had yet to confirm the incidents.

Wife gets 25 years for murdering cop husband who wanted divorce

By Aron Hyman | Feb 10, 2017

The wife of a slain Free State policeman was sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment on Friday for the murder of her husband.

Constable Mbuyiselo James Concoshi‚ 34‚ was killed in his bed in January last year shortly after his wife‚ 40-year-old Nomalanga Paulinah Concoshi‚ found out he was planning to meet a divorce lawyer.
Hawks spokesman Captain Philani Nkwalase said according to details that emerged in the high court in Virginia‚ the couple were having marital problems.
Nomalanga and her accomplices‚ Papiki Jack Mateise‚ 32‚ Bassie Ndude‚ 27‚ and Kopano Samuel Mojanaga‚ 20‚ overpowered Concoshi and strangled him to death.
His body was then driven in his car to the M4‚ where it was found stripped half-naked between Riebeeckstad and Thabong.
Mateise was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder and theft while Ndude was sentenced to 25 years. Mojanaga was handed an effective sentence of 15 years after he pleaded guilty. — TMG Digital
