[WATCH] City of Tshwane to Demolish Over 10 Illegal Mabopane Houses Built on Wetland by Illegal Foreigners The City of Tshwane mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya has confirmed plans to demolish more than ten illegally built houses on land in Mabopane that has been hijacked and occupied by foreign nationals. The land, owned by the municipality, was never approved for residential use due to its location on a wetland. According to Dr. Nasiphi Moya, many of those found living on the site are foreign nationals, with some lacking legal documentation to reside in South Africa. The city has identified the structures as part of ongoing land hijacking cases in Tshwane’s northern areas. Moya said the municipality has already issued contravention notices to the occupants of the houses. The City emphasized that the land was not zoned for housing and its use posed both environmental and safety risks. The City of Tshwane will proceed with demolishing all the illegal structures on the site. Moya reiterated that land grabbing will not be tolerated and that the municipality will continue reclaiming illegally occupied municipal land.

25 acre of encroached prime land near Quaid I Azam University cleared after careful satellite mapping. 3 farmhouses and 15 illegal houses & barns removed. An Inquiry initiated into the culpable who built or sold this land over last 10 years. The buildings as per our finding were rented or being used as holiday homes. For me 5 years of dealing with encroachments on state land, across Punjab and now Islamabad have revealed a consistent pattern. The original encroacher is rarely poor. Land is first illegally occupied by powerful actors, then rented out or used as holiday homes. Vulnerable people are later housed there without legal protection, while the real beneficiaries extract rent from a distance. This is precisely where satellite imagery, utility records, and data-led governance help dismantle entrenched land-grabbing networks.

Indian Express investigation has raised serious questions around land deals linked to Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav’s family. • According to the report, after Mohan Yadav became CM, his family members and family linked real estate firms allegedly bought at least 137 plots in Ujjain • These plots reportedly add up to around 168 acres, with an estimated value of about ₹45 crore • The report does not say that CM Mohan Yadav personally bought all this land • The purchases are reportedly linked to his wife, son, daughter in law, brothers, sister, nephew, cousins and family linked companies • The issue is important because Ujjain is currently seeing a major infrastructure push • New roads, highways, Simhastha 2028 preparations and land use changes can increase the value of land in prime areas • Indian Express says around 111 acres out of these 168 acres are located near new road and highway projects • State officials have said it is not correct to link extended family business deals with the Chief Minister • The family side has also reportedly said that they have been in the real estate business for years • So this is not a proven corruption case at this stage • But it raises serious questions of conflict of interest, timing, transparency and public office propriety. The simple question is this: When a government is planning the future development of a city, and the ruling family’s land deals are happening in the same city’s prime growth zones, should the public get full transparency or not?

Fulani herdsmen occupy family land, threaten lives in Oyo A prominent family in Oyo state, the Ajele Family, has raised an alarm over the threat posed by Fulani herdsmen, who have allegedly taken over their purchased farmland. The family claims that the herdsmen have been operating on their land, located in Awe, Oke Alapata, and Oniyere, despite their repeated warnings. "We are facing a serious threat from these Fulani herdsmen, who have taken over our family land," said a family member. "We have heard reports of attacks on our farmers, and we are worried about the safety of our people." The family emphasized that the land in question was purchased and not open to grazing. However, the herdsmen have allegedly continued to occupy the land, leading to tensions between the family and the herdsmen. Speaking to one of the family members who choses to be anonymous said, "This is our family land, and we will not let anyone take it over," “We are fully prepared to defend our land, but we are also calling on the government to intervene and protect our rights." The family's concerns are not isolated, as there have been reports of similar incidents across the country. The clash between farmers and herdsmen has become a recurring issue, with many calling for a lasting solution to be found. As the situation continues to unfold, the Ajele Family remains resolute in their determination to protect their ancestral land. “This is our land, and we will defend it at all costs." The family mentioned.

Only BRS, Thieves & Encroachers want HYDRAA to go - CM Revanth Reddy HYDRAA as one of the greatest reforms introduced by his government. BRS encroached Bathukamma Kunta and filed contempt of court even on that. The name itself has Kunta. Sudharakar Reddy BRS constituency incharge showered flowers thru chopper when KCR came. After encroaching 10acres of Bathukammakunta, he can even shower money. Mukeem encroached hundreds of acres of land. On that also contempt of court has been filed. How should we view this? When HYDRAA demolished N Convention, encroachments in Gandipet Lake, and the encroachment of Bathukamma Kunta did it involve poor people? Whatever land has been reclaimed by HYDRAA is with public not given to private.

#WATCH | Hyderabad: On BRS MLAs and MLCs meeting the Governor of Telangana, Shiv Pratap Shukla, and submitting a formal complaint seeking an inquiry into the alleged illegal mining and land-grabbing activities of Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, BRS MLC Dasoju Sravan says, "Unfortunately, the Telangana government and particularly Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy have turned out to be land grabbers...This is 27 acres of land... They conducted their Mandal survey in 2018 and built a massive compound around this entire land. Subsequently, they have done another survey under the direction of the High Court. A small portion of this land was acquired from these landowners by the HMDA (Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority)... These incidents amplify that they are the legitimate owners sitting on three survey numbers, 169, 244, and 245. Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy and his son run a company called Raghava Constructions... They came and said that we have a development agreement with the neighbouring landowners. We require your land... The moment they refused to give their land for the development, a new game was started by the revenue minister. His own assistant director initiated an AD survey, which was illegal, the High Court has condoned it, and put a stay on the entire survey...The hooligans tried to penetrate this land and then demolish the compound wall. When the landowners tried to file a complaint, the police did not help them. Today, under the leadership of our leader, KT Rama Rao and Harish Rao, some MLAs have come here to extend their solidarity to these victims... The police, revenue authorities and the minister all have colluded to encroach upon this land..."

DON’T BUY LANDS IN HYDERABAD!! Because our Ministers themselves will blatantly grab your lands and no one can save you. Watch this 16 minute video. This is the evidence for my statement- This old man in the video is Satish Shah. Satish Shah’s mother purchased a land in Vattinagulapalli in 1968. From 1968 to 2025 many surveys have happened - every time it was clear that the land belonged to Satish Shah’s family. FIFTY SEVEN years, there was never a single problem. Around May 2025, Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy’s construction company Raghava Constructions bought the land adjacent to Satish Shah. And then started the most harrowing experience for Satish Shah and his family. In June 2025 Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy’s son Ponguleti Harsha Reddy gets in touch with Satish Shah. He meets him and tells that they need small portion of the land for laying a 100 feet road. Since their land is under GO 111, Satish Shah and family told Harsha they don’t want to sell the land. After two weeks, Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy himself goes to the house of Satish Shah. 🤯 The idea is to create fear psychosis. Then the third visit happens. This time Ponguleti Harsha Reddy visits their home and tells that they don’t want 2/3 acres but need the entire land. Satish Shah’s family runs a Goshala and they cultivate the land. They stood their ground and told clearly they don’t want to sell. This hurt the big ego of the big minister & his son. In 2019 land survey happened under high court direction when Satish Shah’s sister was selling her portion of the land. In 2021 land acquisition happened and the family even got compensation from the government. Around 2018-2019 boundary wall constructed Now the revenue minister wanted to use his power to manipulate the land records. He ordered a sudden survey. Satish Shah went to the court and the High Court of Telangana suspended the survey. In the intervening night of 29th-30th October, 7-8 JCBs came without number plates and all walls were demolished. Satish Shah came to know these were Raghava Construction’s JCBs and lodged a complaint to the police. He went to the court and obtained an ad-interim order. There were FIVE physical attacks on the workers by 60 goons. Power was cut. They threaten to kill and burry everyone in the same land. High court gave police protection! Four months since it’s been pending. On Ugadi again, the staff were attacked and the wall of the goshaala that was repaired was demolished again. According to Satish, the police are mute & helpless. The land next to Satish Shah’s land was acquired by Ponguleti family, and construction is being carried out under a new name NewGen Builders. Satish Shah has all documents, all legal rights, has court orders, he and his family are educated & have the resources to fight YET they live in constant fear for their lives. So - my advice! Don’t buy lands in Hyderabad and Telangana because we have land grabbers ruling us 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Who would’ve thought a Speed Post parcel marked “medicines” was actually carrying ganja? That’s exactly how a nationwide drug syndicate allegedly operated until Hyderabad Police cracked the network. The gang, based in Jharkhand, allegedly cultivated and sourced ganja, packed it into small parcels, falsely declared the contents as medicines, and shipped them through Speed Post to customers across nearly 21 states, including Hyderabad. Orders were taken via WhatsApp, payments were made through UPI, and code words like “Mango” were used to refer to different quantities of cannabis. The syndicate allegedly handled 80 to 100 orders a day, generating an estimated ₹4 to ₹5 crore annually. The investigation began after H-NEW intercepted a parcel destined for Hyderabad, leading police to unravel the entire supply chain. The probe has also exposed serious gaps in postal parcel screening, prompting Hyderabad Police to seek stricter scanning protocols for parcels transported by rail and air.

LAWYER DISPELS LAND EXPROPRIATION MYTHS South Africa's Land Expropriation Act, which was signed into law in early 2025 as part of efforts to provide redress for the country's historical land injustices, has generated considerable debate in recent months. The act allows the government to expropriate privately owned land for public purposes or in the public interest, with nil compensation in rare cases. Some, such as the Donald Trump-led United States governments and right-wing organisations inside South Africa, claim the law is part of what they allege to be 'persecution' of the country's white settlers. However, a closer look at the act shows that this is far from the truth. For instance, in this interview with Newzroom Afrika (@newzroomafrika5914 on YouTube), renowned South African lawyer Tembeka Ngcukaitobi (Ngcukaitobi1 on X) highlights that the act will most likely not result in any active settler-owned land taken away by the state without compensation. Ngcukaitobi explains that, despite right-wing elements portraying the act as radical, it is actually mild, as the nil compensation part will only apply to idle and abandoned land, implying that most settler farmers whose land is in active use will not be affected. This explanation aligns with arguments that have been put forward by progressive organisations such as the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), who say the law does not go far enough to address the land dispossession that Black South Africans were subjected to during centuries of European settler colonialism, which ramped up into apartheid between 1948 and 1994. They argue that the act will not alter the country's current land ownership structure, where white settlers own more than 72 per cent of the land according to a 2017 government land audit, despite making up only about 7 per cent of the population as per the 2022 national census.

FCT Minister: 'I Will Continue To Respect All Government Institutions' The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has stressed the importance of adhering to due process in resolving disputes over land ownership in Abuja, declaring that he will continue to respect all government institutions, including the military. Speaking with journalists on the recent clash involving his officials and some military personnel, Wike urged Nigerians to learn to obey the laws, adding that government will not tolerate any attempt to undermine approved land allocations. He recounted that the confrontation arose after FCT officials were allegedly assaulted while enforcing development control regulations on the disputed site. Wike maintained that he only intervened after top officials of the FCTA were assaulted while carrying out their officials duties, saying that as a Minister, he won't sit in his office while those working with him are being attacked. According to him, he personally intervened to restore order and ensure that government directives were respected. Wike clarified that the land in question was properly allocated to Santos Estate Limited for park and recreational purposes, not residential development. He recalled that when the Police had similar issue, he personally visited the site where buildings were being constructed under the powerline, and the Inspector-General of Police ensured the stoppage of the construction.

The body of 22-year-old nurse Lavanya, who was allegedly murdered at the BC Road KSRTC bus stand on Thursday evening, was brought to Pushparaj Hospital in Kalladka on Friday, where colleagues, hospital staff and members of the public paid their last respects before her final journey to her native village. The body was brought to the hospital after the post-mortem examination. Emotional scenes unfolded as her mortal remains, adorned with floral tributes, were placed at the entrance of the hospital where she had reported for duty each day. Colleagues and hospital staff broke down in tears while paying their final respects to the young nurse. As the ambulance arrived at the hospital, a large number of residents, well-wishers and villagers gathered to bid her a final farewell. Many offered flowers and paid homage, reflecting the widespread grief over her death. Following the tribute at the hospital, Lavanya's body was taken by ambulance to her native village of Kakkepadavu in Uli village, where her last rites are scheduled to be performed later in the day. Lavanya was allegedly hacked to death by Chethan, a distant relative, at the BC Road KSRTC bus stand on Thursday evening. Police said the accused had allegedly been harassing her and suspect the murder was linked to her repeated rejection of his advances. The incident has sparked widespread outrage across the district, with residents demanding stringent action against the accused. Many described the murder, which took place in a crowded public area, as a shocking crime that has raised concerns about women's safety. Police have assured that all legal procedures are being followed and that the case is being investigated thoroughly. The accused, who was traced by police on Friday after allegedly consuming rat poison, remains under medical treatment and police security.

Must read : High Impact story HYDRAA Commissioner A.V. Ranganath inaugurated the groundbreaking for rejuvenation works at Kamuni Cheruvu ; bund strengthening, approach roads, infrastructure, and nala linkages under the ₹21 crore project. This is a big moment. But it didn’t arrive by itself. It came after six years of a relentless fight I and TOI waged through reporting, evidence, and constant public pressure. I began this campaign not from a newsroom but amid the 2020 floods one of Hyderabad’s worst in decades. On 14 October 2020, I posted aerial images of homes in the illegal layout submerged because they had been built right inside and abutting Kamuni Cheruvu. I tagged then-minister KTR and the GHMC Commissioner and asked: when you build in lakes, water reclaims its space. Is this what LRS was meant for? That thread started the long battle. For two years I kept monitoring. In November 2022, I broke the story that changed everything. My front-page TOI investigation — “Plotted and Sold: Land Sharks Bite Into Kamuni in Hyderabad” exposed the organised mafia operation: night-time earth filling, construction of rooms on the newly “reclaimed” land, and open sale of plots with “lakefront” banners. Using Google satellite imagery overlaid on old survey maps, I showed that not just the FTL but a full quarter of the lake had been encroached, along with its inflow and outflow nalas. The 14 November 2022 X thread with those satellite overlays went viral . It forced action. GHMC had registered FIR Crime No. 854/2022. Ten accused were named. Demolitions happened in Raghavendra Colony. Fencing began. But even then I refused to celebrate partial wins. On 22 November 2022 I posted directly to officials: “Thanks for removing encroachments. Now fencing work started. Land created in lake by filling up has to be cleared. We can see some religious structures yet. Will u be clearing the land and also restoring the lake to original?” The fight continued across governments. In March 2024 I flagged a five-storey building rising almost inside the lake boundary and challenged the GHMC Commissioner on permissions. In August 2024 I posted the damning 2014 vs 2024 satellite comparison showing an entire colony had grown inside the lake bed. I tagged HYDRAA Commissioner A.V. Ranganath and demanded action in what had become Kukatpally MLA Madhavaram Krishna Rao’s constituency. By late 2024 the water hyacinth crisis had turned the lake into a mosquito breeding ground. In February 2026 I wrote directly to the Cyberabad Municipal Commissioner framing it as a public health emergency. When a drone enzyme pilot failed in March, I called it out publicly and demanded mechanical removal — tagging Commissioner Srijana IAS and the CM’s office. On 18 April 2026 I documented the actual mechanical weed-cutting operation on the ground. Through all of this —two state governments, multiple commissioners, and shifting priorities I kept producing fresh evidence, filing public demands, and strategically tagging the people who could act. I refused to accept “some action” as success. Full restoration of the lake, not just demolitions or fencing, was always the non-negotiable demand. That six-year chain of reporting on X and in The Times of India is what kept Kamuni Cheruvu from being forgotten or quietly finished off. Today’s groundbreaking by Commissioner Ranganath moving from the April ₹21 crore sanction to actual construction of bund, roads and infrastructure is the result of that sustained fight. The lake that was being openly plotted and sold in 2022 now has government funding and works on the ground. Challenges remain: completing the 17-metre nala, full excavation of filled portions, long-term maintenance, and protection from fresh encroachments. But the direction has changed because the pressure never stopped. This is what consistent, evidence-driven civic journalism can achieve when it refuses to give up. #KamuniCheruvu #HyderabadLakes #SaveOurLakes

THE JOHANNESBURG PROPERTY COMPANY’S GRACE AND FAVOUR LAND DEALS In the final instalment of my series on the foreign takeover of what was once an upscale, leafy suburb neighbouring the affluent Bedfordview enclave in the East Rand and Kensington in Johannesburg, we can now more openly explore the potential corruption linked to Helen, the CEO of the Johannesburg Property Company, and the suspiciously low-priced fire sales of valuable city-owned land in Johannesburg. One likely explanation involves the extent to which these and other properties have been offloaded under dubious circumstances, when they should never have been sold at all. A recurring theme is the acquisition of properties that serve as key transport hubs. The suspicion is that the entities behind these purchases, including the Erf 133 properties, are biding their time, expecting Johannesburg will eventually be forced to buy them back—at vastly inflated prices. This is exactly what's unfolding with the Jabulani Property and Calgro M3. A small portion of the Erf that was initially sold for just R1.00 is now allegedly being sold back to the council for R45 million. Similarly, the Chinese owners of the Bruma property, who recently evicted the taxis using the land—with no alternative location for the taxi rank—are now lying in wait for the City of Johannesburg to make them an offer they can't refuse. It is important to understand that Johannesburg Property Company does not have the authority to dispose of land at will and that rules do apply, even to Helen Botes. The authority under which Johannesburg may dispose of land derives from its supply chain management policies; in particular, its “Supply Chain Management Policy: Land” (“SCMP:L”). This is under the auspices of the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 (the “MFM Act”) The copy of the SCMP:L, which I have been able to locate, is, in fact, unsigned, so its authenticity needs to be established. However, the City of Johannesburg must supply an authentic copy, valid as at the relevant dates (from 2010 onwards). Assuming that my copy is authentic, the following is of relevance: 1. The thrust of the SCPM:L is to ensure that the Johannesburg land is disposed of in a fair and transparent manner. 2. “Available vacant land” is defined in the SCMP:L as “land not necessary to provide minimum municipal services, including but not limited to gardens, parks and similar facilities…..” 3. Section 7 (2) (a), which provides that the accounting officer (the Municipal Manager of Johannesburg) may not delegate his or her power and duty to make an award exceeding R 10 million; 4. Section 12 (1) (b), which states that the alienation strategy should “ensure that irreplaceable land is not lost to COJ (City of Johannesburg) or the public, taking into consideration the principle that COJ land should not be sold, but should rather be made available for use or development purposes by means of long-term and short-term leases;” All of this, of course, hinges on the condition that the land actually generates revenue for Johannesburg, rather than being handed out in grace-and-favour deals to foreign investors. With the taxi rank now forced to use the main road through Bruma for parking, creating a significant traffic issue, and as complaints continue to pour in about the taxis clogging the road, the theory gains traction: it’s only a matter of time before the City of Johannesburg will have to approach the Chinese owners and buy back the land to accommodate the planned transport hub in the area. I reached out to the Johannesburg Property Company for details and comments regarding the alienation of Erf 133 in Bruma. Specifically, I asked whether the City of Johannesburg had indeed been paid for the land, requested evidence of the payment, and inquired about the total amount received and any outstanding balances.... 1/2
