Thieves have made off with two TV sets from national police commissioner Khehla Sitole’s Mpumalanga home, SAPS confirmed on Monday.

Spokesperson Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo said the items were stolen by criminals who were “purely opportunistic”.

The commissioner’s house is under construction and the work was near completion when the theft occurred last Saturday while the General was attending a summit in Cape Town, Naidoo said.

Nothing else was stolen from the house.

News24 understands that there was no sign of forced entry onto the premises.

Investigations are underway.

Posted on August 14, 2019 by SA-Radio Leave a comment

Billionaire Johan Rupert’s negative view of South Africa is likely to be further strengthened only after armed thieves stole millions of rand worth of property.

The information was released by the Sunday Times, which reported that nearly R300m worth of jewelry was stolen this past Friday night.

The thieves stole watches, diamond mounted pendants, earrings and other items from the Rivonia premises after the security personnel were tied up.

The jewelry was apparently earmarked for luxury companies in Sandton under the protection of the Rupert family.

It is alleged that a special investigative team has been appointed to detect the villains, but doubts exist as to whether this will happen soon. It is not known whether the goods were insured against theft.

During the ANC regime, roughly R500 billion has been looted by Eskom contractors, which partly explains why South Africa is in such a big financial mess – it is unsure if the culprits will be brought to justice

A Special Investigation Unit is currently investigation more than eleven contractors whom are suspected of robbing the power utility of billions of rand.

The contractors looted R130 billion from Eskom during the construction of the two new power stations, Medupi and Kusile as well as the Ingula power station.

From the so-called “inner circles” it is claimed that plundering at Eskom has been taken place since 2005, which partly explains why South Africa has ended up in a financial mess.

A spokesman said Eskom had been robbed of R170bn, of which R130bn was directly related to so-called contractors working at the different power plants.

Investigation is now being done to determine who has committed theft, and who worked within Eskom to benefit the thieves.
