14 June 2026

Inkosi Mhlabunzima Maphumulo House: We wish to inform the people of KwaZulu-Natal that as promised, we have ensured the successful repatriation of the mortal remains of Sihle Makhaye from Russia to KwaZulu-Natal.

The mortal remains arrived today at 13:15 at the King Shaka International Airport.

On the 8th of April, 2026, at 23h30, we were contacted by his wife, Sibonile Ndwandwe, requesting us to assist her family with the repatriation of her husband. She indicated that Makhaye (44) from Kranskop was lured to Russia with a promise of a lucrative job.

She further stated that on the 28th March she received the news of his untimely death, which left their children and family devastated.

Since that day, I assigned a team to be closer to the family led by the Head of Human Settlements Max Mbili.

We pause to express our deepest appreciation to the team assigned by the Minister of International Relations and Co-operation Ronald Lamola. The team worked well with our team to ensure the smooth co-ordination despite challenges too many to highlight.

Critically, President Cyril Ramaphosa as the Head of State has been a pillar and a solution provider.

We thank Ayanda Msweli, the community of Kranskop and many other individuals who assisted and showed empathy during this difficult period.

In addition, we value the support from the President of Combined Nations Funeral Parlous Associations Lungile Shangase and Department of Transport Ambassador for eThekwini Region Pastor Nkululeko Khumalo

Tomorrow, we will have a Press Briefing together with the family to reflect on the way forward.

We will also announce preparations for the funeral service.

: "Duma and RTI must take the blame if my runners fail to make it into the top 20 of the Comrades Marathon."

Thats how a visible irritated motorist responded when he was stopped and asked to blow into a breathalyzer.

A very calm and relaxed RTI team requested him to provide the name of the runners and their clubs.

"Most of them are Kaizer Chiefs members in good standing. They have membership cards. Only three support Orlando Pirates," the motorist responded with confidence.

RTI crushed his response. "We are reffering to athletics clubs not soccer clubs."

He looked confused and checked his WhatsApp messages. He faked reading messages from his high perfoming runners.

He fired back: "Anyway I am a teacher by profession. My runners are in good shape for the down run and will definitely be heading toward Westille suburbs as early as 08h00 tomorrow morning."

RTI interjected: "But this is an uprun. Why do you talk about a Down Run when it is an Up Run. Have you been drinking something strong?

RTI further poised a question:

He immediately looked up to the sky and mumbled something about "Only the Sky is the Limit."

RTI said Game Over. He is in the holding cells now.

A total of 18 motorists, including two teachers, have been arrested for drunk driving in Dundee, Ladysmith and Pietemaritzburg.

E-Hailing KwaNdengezi 3 – the security guards were denied bail and ordered to return to prison: Duma has praised the e-hailing driver and four females for their bravery despite intimidation. He has further called for action against On Call Security company owner for making a thinly veiled threat against the e-hailing driver.

Media and Public Statement by the MEC for Transport and Human Settlements Siboniso Duma

12 June 2026

Inkosi Mhlabunzima Maphumulo House: Last week we offered to demonstrate transparency and to continue to update the people of KwaZulu-Natal and the whole country about the case involving KwaNdengezi 3.

Shock and disbelief swept through the country after a video showing three security guards brandishing guns and harassing an e-hailing driver and female passengers weeks ago in KwaNdengezi.

We commend the excellent work of the state prosecutor and the judge who presided over the bail application in the Pinetown Magistrates Court today.

The bail application was rejected, and the three security guards were ordered to return to prison. They will reappear in court on the 17th June 2026.

It emerged in court that the e-hailing driver and the female passengers received threats after the incident. We salute them for their bravery despite intimidation.

Most shocking is the further revelation in court that the owner of On Call Security company made a thinly veiled threat against the e-hailing driver and instructed him to withdraw the case.

We don’t take such threats lightly, especially in view of the fact that in court it was revealed that the three guns belonged to the security company.

We support any decision of exploring the possibility of adding more charges against the three security guards, including the security company owner.

Importantly, in addition, we continue to express our appreciation to the Provincial Commissioner Lt General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi who has deployed a team of investigators to work on this case.

We call on the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSiRA) not to be silent when the whole country is showing a public disapproval of the acts of the security guards and the security company.

Finally, we urge local residents and commuters to support efforts aimed at spearheading peace and stability in the public transport sector. These efforts are championed by KwaNdengezi Police Station Commander Colonel Mzwandile Dlamini and the Chair of KwaNdengezi/Zwelibomvu Taxi Association Zibuse Ngcamu.
