[LIMPOPO PROVINCIAL COMMISSIONER WARNS AGAINST MISUSE OF POLICE RESOURCES FOLLOWING ALLEGED FALSE KIDNAPPING REPORT]

Two suspects, aged 43 and 28, have been charged with extortion, perjury, and defeating or obstructing the course of justice following an investigation into an alleged kidnapping reported in Senwabarwana, Capricorn District, in Limpopo.

On Saturday, 17 October 2026, members of Limpopo Organised Crime Investigations, National Crime Intelligence for Kidnappings and Hillbrow Detectives conducted an intelligence-driven operation in Gauteng in connection with the reported kidnapping.

The case was initially reported after the victim’s relatives allegedly received a call from an unknown person demanding R50 000. The caller reportedly threatened to kill the victim before 08:00 if the money was not deposited.

During the investigation, the 43-year-old male suspect, who is the alleged victim’s boyfriend, was traced and arrested. He reportedly informed police that he had taken the 28-year-old woman to his family homestead in Jane Furse, Sekhukhune District.

Police proceeded to the identified homestead, where the woman was found. She appeared to be in good condition, had no visible injuries and did not report any complaints.

Further investigations raised suspicions that the reported kidnapping may have been fabricated and that the police may have been deliberately misled. The male suspect had allegedly made a statement under oath that he did not know the woman’s whereabouts, resulting in the perjury charge.

Both suspects were subsequently taken to Senwabarwana SAPS, where a case was opened. They face charges of extortion, perjury, and defeating or obstructing the course of justice.

The suspects are expected to appear before the Senwabarwana Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 19 October 2026.

The Provincial Commissioner of Limpopo, Lieutenant General Jan Petrus Scheepers, has warned against the misuse of police resources through the reporting of allegedly false criminal incidents.

“Police resources are limited and must be directed towards genuine cases that threaten the safety and security of our communities. Deliberately misleading the police, making false statements under oath and demanding money through threats are serious matters that may result in criminal prosecution. We urge members of the public to provide truthful information and to refrain from abusing the criminal justice system,” said Lieutenant General Scheepers.

[SEVEN SUSPECTED HIJACKED AND STOLEN VEHICLES INCLUDING TRUCKS RECOVERED IN FOUR DAYS BY ANTI-HIJACKING TEAM FROM EHLANZENI DISTRICT]

The relentless efforts by the Anti-Hijacking Team from Ehlanzeni District in Mpumalanga, in partnership with other law enforcement agencies, have yielded significant results, with seven suspected hijacked and stolen vehicles, including trucks, recovered within four days.

The recoveries were made between 14 October 2026 and 17 October 2026 through intelligence-driven operations and in collaboration with private security companies, vehicle tracking companies and other law enforcement agencies.

Amongst the vehicles recovered are:

• A white Isuzu reported stolen in Jabulani, Gauteng area, recovered in Dludluma, Nkomazi area with Mpumalanga registration number plates.
• A white Toyota Quantum with Mpumalanga registration plates, reportedly stolen in Schuzendal and fitted with false registration plates, recovered in Nkomazi area.
• A white Toyota Prado allegedly hijacked in Garsfontein, Gauteng, recovered in Mzinti, Nkomazi area.
• A white Toyota VVTI courier bakkie hijacked in Shatale, recovered in Bushbuckridge, thereby rescuing the victim that was locked inside.
• A silver Mercedes-Benz reportedly stolen in Calcutta, recovered abandoned in Kanyamazane.
• A City Logistics H-100 truck with furniture allegedly hijacked (on Friday, 16 October 2026) along the R40 Road at Ga-Toy area in Bushbuckridge. The truck was then recovered at Inyaka Dam though the goods were stolen, but the crew members were found.
• A white Isuzu truck robbed at gunpoint from the driver, found still idling with no suspects around Khumbula area.
• A truck fitted with false registration number plates, recovered between Waterval Boven and Ngodwana on the N4 Road, en route to Nelspruit. A 44-year-old suspect was arrested and the truck was reportedly hijacked at Rabie Ridge, in Gauteng.

One suspect arrested in relation to the hijacked truck is expected to appear at the Nelspruit Magistrate's Court soon, facing several charges, including possession of a suspected stolen / hijacked truck. In the other cases, suspects are still at large and Police are still in pursuit of them whilst investigations are underway.

The Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant General Apaphia Modise, commended all members and stakeholders involved for their dedication and collaborative efforts.
"The recovery of seven vehicles in just four days demonstrates the effectiveness of our anti-hijacking strategy and the value of working together with our partners and communities. We will continue to intensify operations to ensure that hijacked or stolen vehicles are recovered and to hold suspects accountable. We can never allow a space for criminals to operate," said the General.

[INTELLIGENCE-DRIVEN OPERATION LEADS TO SIX ARRESTS AND SEIZURE OF HYBRID VEHICLES WORTH R4.7 MILLION IN COLESBERG]

The South African Police Service (SAPS) in the Northern Cape has once again demonstrated the effectiveness of intelligence-driven policing and inter-provincial collaboration following the seizure of six Jetour T2 Hybrid vehicles, collectively valued at approximately R4 752 000, and the arrest of six suspects in Colesberg.

The successful operation was the result of close cooperation between Crime Intelligence in the Western Cape and SAPS operational members in Colesberg, demonstrating the importance of sharing critical information and acting swiftly against suspected vehicle-related fraud and theft.

On Friday, 16 October 2026, at approximately 14:40, Crime Intelligence in the Western Cape alerted SAPS Colesberg to information regarding six white Jetour T2 Hybrid vehicles allegedly travelling from Beaufort West towards Colesberg.

The information was immediately operationalised by members of the Highway Patrol, Colesberg Visible Policing and Hanover SAPS, who remained vigilant and strategically positioned themselves along the identified route.

The vehicles were subsequently spotted approximately 35 kilometres from Colesberg, travelling in the direction of the town. Each vehicle had one male occupant, who identified himself as the driver.

The drivers claimed that they were transporting the vehicles to an undisclosed destination in Pretoria.

Upon conducting further investigations, SAPS members discovered documents suspected to be fraudulent inside the vehicles. The matter was immediately escalated and further verification was conducted in collaboration with Crime Intelligence in the Western Cape.

The investigation established that the vehicles were allegedly fraudulently purchased, prompting the immediate impoundment of all six vehicles.

It was further established that six vehicles of the same make had already been impounded in Beaufort West by the Western Cape Crime Intelligence, bringing the total number of vehicles impounded in connection with the investigation to twelve.

The six vehicles seized in Colesberg have an estimated combined value of R4 752 000 (Four million seven hundred and fifty-two thousand rand).

Six case dockets have been registered at Colesberg SAPS, relating to the possession of suspected stolen vehicles.

The six male suspects, all South African citizens between the ages of 28 and 62, were arrested and detained for further investigation.
The items seized during the operation include:

• Six Jetour T2 Hybrid vehicles valued at approximately R4.752 million;
• 10 cellular phones; and
• Documents suspected to be fraudulent.

The Acting Provincial Commissioner of the Northern Cape, Major General Luntu Ngubelanga, commended the members involved for their swift response, vigilance and professionalism.

He further cited that this successful operation is a clear demonstration of the power of intelligence-led policing and effective collaboration between provinces.

Crime does not respect provincial boundaries, and neither can our response to it. The swift sharing and operationalisation of intelligence enabled our members to intercept these vehicles and apprehend the suspects.

He further praised the operational members for remaining alert and ensuring that the information received was converted into decisive action.

We will continue to strengthen our partnerships with Crime Intelligence and our law enforcement counterparts nationally.
The six suspects remain in police custody and are expected to appear in the Colesberg Magistrates’ Court soon.

[58-YEAR-OLD COLLEGE OFFICIAL ARRESTED FOR CORRUPTION AND EXTORTION]

A 58-year-old male official attached to Capricorn TVET College in Polokwane has been arrested for alleged corruption and extortion.
The arrest by the Provincial Anti-Corruption Unit, assisted by the Provincial Organised Crime Unit and Capricorn Flying Squad, follows a complaint by a farmer from Senwabarwana.

It is alleged that the official demanded R100,000 gratification from the farmer in exchange for releasing R750,000 project funding for land to conduct practical training for 33 students under the Department of Agriculture. The farmer alleged that he had previously deposited money into the official's personal account under the guise of money for "coffee".

The official disguised as an official for Department of Agriculture.
A covert entrapment operation was conducted on Friday, 16 October 2026, in Polokwane, where the farmer handed over R40,000 cash. The suspect was arrested shortly after and the money seized.

He is expected to appear before the Polokwane Magistrate's Court on Monday, 19 October 2026 facing a charge of extortion and corruption.

The Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Jan Petrus Scheepers, welcomed the arrest, stating that the SAPS remains committed to rooting out corruption and bringing to book those who abuse positions of authority.

Police investigations are continuing.

FI****MS AND PUBLIC UNREST: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

A Public Safety Advisory from the Professional Fi***rm Trainers Council (PFTC)

Recent incidents of public unrest in KwaZulu-Natal have once again raised an important question: When may a fi***rm legally be used during riots, looting or violent public disturbances?

The PFTC wishes to remind all fi***rm owners that possessing a licensed fi***rm does not automatically grant the right to use it against individuals participating in public unrest.

What does South African law say?

Under South African law, the use of potentially deadly force in private defence is subject to strict legal requirements.

* Protection of life: Deadly force may be justified where a person faces an unlawful attack posing an immediate threat of death or serious bodily harm, provided the force used is necessary and reasonably proportionate to the threat.
* Protection of property: Theft, looting, vandalism or damage to property does not, on its own, justify shooting a perpetrator.
* Immediate threat: Private defence generally requires an attack that has commenced or is immediately threatening. A possible future threat or retaliation for an earlier incident is not sufficient.
* Warning shots: Firing warning shots is not automatically lawful and may expose the fi***rm owner to criminal liability.
* Responsibility for every shot: Fi***rm owners remain accountable for their actions, including injuries or deaths resulting from unlawful or negligent fi***rm use.

What are the possible consequences?

The unlawful discharge or use of a fi***rm during public unrest may result in serious criminal charges, including murder, attempted murder or other fi***rm-related offences, depending on the circumstances.

Civil claims for damages, the loss of fi***rm licences and declarations of unfitness to possess fi***rms may also follow.

The PFTC’s position

A fi***rm is a last resort in the defence of life, not a tool for crowd control, intimidation, punishment or the protection of property alone.

We encourage all fi***rm owners and security personnel to remain calm, avoid unnecessary confrontation, prioritise personal safety and understand the legal principles governing private defence.

Responsible fi***rm ownership requires more than technical proficiency. It demands sound judgement, restraint and a thorough understanding of the law.

REMEMBER: The fact that you are legally armed does not mean that every use of your fi***rm will be lawful.

Promoting responsible fi***rm ownership, professional training and legal compliance.

[ARMED ROBBERY SUSPECT ARRESTED WITH THREE UNLICENCED FI****MS SEIZED]

An armed robbery suspect has been arrested and thanks to the collaboration between law enforcement officers and a swift response led to this success and the recovery of three unlicenced fi***rms in Sabie on Friday, 09 October 2026. Police are in pursuit of two other suspects who are still at large.

It is reported that the victim had withdrawn a substantial amount of cash and was proceeding to his workplace. As he approached the gate, he was accosted by armed suspects who allegedly robbed him of the cash. A private security officer who is said to have witnessed the incident attempted to assist the victim, but the suspects sped off with a Toyota Corolla.

It was during this time when Traffic Officers responded swiftly and a high-speed chase ensued until Sabie, where the suspects' vehicle crashed. One suspect was arrested while two suspects fled on foot into the bushes. Members of the SAPS from Sabie Police Station and those assigned for Operation Vala Umgodi also responded and went to the scene.

Upon searching the vehicle and the suspect, Police found three fi***rms. Preliminary investigation revealed that the vehicle used by the suspects was fitted with false registration number plates and that the arrested suspect is a foreign national from Botswana. Police are working with officials from the Department of Home Affairs to ascertain the status of the arrested suspect.

The suspect is expected to appear in due course, at Sabie and Nelspruit Magistrate's Courts facing charges that include robbery with a fi***rm, possession of unlicenced fi***rms and am******on. Police investigation continues and more charges may be added.

The Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant General Apaphia Modise, commended members for their swift and decisive action in arresting the suspect and recovering fi***rms with am******on.

"We are adamant that the arrest of the suspect may possibly assist in resolving other cases. This also demonstrates our sheer determination to deal decisively with crime," said the General.
