Sold Your Crib Still Getting Bills | Johannesburg News

You sold your Johannesburg home, thought you were free from bills—then the city keeps sending you mail. Even with clearance certificates, many are stuck in a billing loop, including a journalist who’s still getting charges months after selling. New owners face absurd fees too—like a fourteen thousand rand electric bill for an illegal meter, despite proper paperwork. Legally, you’re off the hook post-transfer; paying could cost you refunds and headaches. The city’s system is sluggish, and new rules demand more effort from you to close accounts. Bottom line: keep records, call relentlessly, and never pay bills for a property you no longer own. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Audi Downgraded to Focus | Johannesburg News

A top council official’s luxury Audi Q5 was downgraded to a Ford Focus after a crash caused by a protection officer who took it for a personal errand — and then tried to fix it secretly through a relative. The vehicle had no logbook, the officer lacked required training (because there’s no contracted protection service), and the crash went unreported for days. Investigations reveal systemic failures in vehicle management and staff training, with the officer’s hostile behavior and amateur repairs raising alarms about accountability and safety protocols for high-level officials.

Molefe Pension Battle Heats Up | Johannesburg News

Brian Molefe’s high-stakes pension refund battle heats up again in the Constitutional Court, as Eskom’s pension fund fights back against a lower court ruling that demands oral testimony to resolve how much he owes — a figure that’s shifted wildly over the years. Molefe, who was ousted from Eskom in 2016 amid State Capture allegations, claims he’s being dragged through “bad-faith litigation” as the fund contradicts its own position and even changes legal counsel mid-battle. The dispute, rooted in a controversial 30-million-rand early retirement payout, hinges on whether Molefe was ever eligible for the pension scheme — a question the courts are still wrestling with, with conflicting rulings and shifting numbers. Molefe’s legal team is asking the Constitutional Court to toss the entire case, arguing the fund’s tactics are inconsistent and unfair.

Andrea Johnson Demands Immediate Resignation | Johannesburg News

Andrea Johnson, head of Idac, is demanding immediate resignation from her post, citing unprecedented attacks on her and her family linked to her high-profile investigation into Crime Intelligence chief Dumisani Khumalo. After testifying at the Madlanga commission, she stood firm that Khumalo’s arrest — stemming from a complaint by Fadiel Adams — was lawful and unrelated to alleged political maneuvering or the PKTT. She also revealed she received a death threat before his arrest, prompting security measures from the NPA — all while refusing to wait her standard three-month notice.

DA’s Hidden Hand Behind the Scenes | Johannesburg News

Ryan Coetzee, a former DA strategist now running a controversial international PR firm, may have been secretly steering key party decisions — a move that’s sparking outrage and raising serious questions about who really runs the DA. With his firm, Consulum, tied to dodgy international clients, insiders are now asking if the party outsourced its political strategy — and whether that’s eroding trust. As Geordin Hill-Lewis faces pressure from senior figures linked to Coetzee, he has a chance to reset the party’s direction — or risk being seen as just another pawn in a shadowy power game.
