The first of ten more buses leaving from Sherwood is being loaded. Malawian women and children are being prioritised for this leg of the repatriation. Premier Thami Ntuli earlier confirmed that deportation processes are also currently being explored. A steering committee - consisting of all agencies involved - has been formed to manage what is taking place. The number outside the community hall is estimated at well over six thousand, growing steadily since last week. A second site in the area has also been identified, where some of the men will wait until they are sent home. Verification of these individuals continues. eNCA

The main suspect - about 25-years-old - managed to evade police for almost two years until today. He was hiding deep within the hills of Umzinyathi, wanted for murders and armed robberies. It must be really unpleasant being a criminal, not knowing when your day will come.

A suspect driving a stolen truck went on the rampage this afternoon, apparently after a disagreement with his employer. The Malawian man – a truck driver – rammed into several cars and a pedestrian during his wild ride. Police officers, including Umlazi K9 members, gave chase but the trucker also smashed into another police car. According to the SAPS, members fired at the vehicle to neutralise the threat, and the suspect was subsequently struck and wounded. The heavy vehicle eventually came to rest on Underwood Road in Pinetown. AlsParamedics says, “Paramedics arrived on the scene to find SAPS had closed off the entire roadway. Paramedics found multiple vehicles damaged some with bullet holes and others after the crash. The scene was over a short distance and Paramedics assessed the scene. A truck that was allegedly driven by a suspect had collided head on into a SAPS vehicle whilst being chased by other SAPS members. The truck was found badly damaged as a result of the crash as well as bullet holes. The driver had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body and was stabilised on the scene by Advanced Life Support Paramedics before being transported to hospital under police guard. A vehicle with a family on their way home were also involved in the crash and five occupants had sustained minor to moderate injuries and were treated on scene by ALS Paramedics before being transported to a nearby Hospital for the further care that they required.” WARNING: SUPPLIED VIDEO MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME eNCA

EXCLUSIVE | “We will challenge them legally and deal with them, but if they want to come physically, we will meet them on the field.” KZN police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has exposed a plot to silence him over his investigations into the activities of certain individuals in the national office. He has now categorically stated that the “smear campaign” against him originates within the organisation. But Mkhwanazi insists he and his team are not backing down, and their work will soon reveal the rogue elements hiding out at the SAPS HQ. In an interview with eNCA, the veteran policeman says this isn’t the first time he’s been targeted for exposing criminals within the SAPS. Mkhwanazi has given an assurance that the level of policing in KZN won’t be affected by this. More on #DStv403.

This beautiful tribute was played at Sgt Khuzwayo’s funeral today. It is from his niece, Buhle, who is abroad. Another reminder that uniforms, badges and titles don’t depart - people do. And the impact is always huge.
