Lawyers for Adriano Mazzotti and Mohammadh Sayed have denied that police raided their homes or properties today “or any time recently”. “We are consulting with our clients regarding any false or misleading posts and articles that have been published.” Full statement:

DEVELOPING: MOHAMMADH SAYED AND ANDRIANO MAZZOTI RESPOND: "We note the speculation concerning alleged police raids on the homes of our clients, Mr Mohammadh Sayed and Mr Adriano Mazzotti. We state unequivocally that no such raid took place at either client’s home today or any time recently at any property owned by them. Claims to the contrary are false and misleading. We are consulting with our clients regarding any false or misleading posts and articles that have been published. We reserve their rights in the strongest terms, including the right to institute legal proceedings against those responsible for any false or misleading posts and/or articles." @eNCA

@AdvoBarryRoux Do you get paid for reporting bullshit? I was MOST CERTAINLY NOT raided by SAPS. Get your facts in order at the expense of making yourself look like a fool. You will be hearing very soon from my legal team. Keyboard warrior.

Matipandile Sotheni, the man accused of being the trigger man in the assassination of Marius van der Merwe, also known as Witness D in the Madlanga Commission, was a trained police special task force member. He has been in the private sector since 2019 where his skill set has been in high demand. Up until October 2024, he was employed as a bodyguard by a well known tobacco baron, but was dismissed. Since the end of 2024, Matipandile Sotheni was linked to the #ZamaZama illicit gold trade, which is where he in all probability crossed paths with Marius van der Merwe. Marius van der Merwe was part of a @carteblanchetv insert into #ZamaZamas. Marius van der Merwe was engaged in a grey area allegedly being in the centre of warring #ZamaZama factions and was even at a stage implicated in the destruction of the informal settlement known as “Plastic City”. There seems to be a convergence on the East Rand of bad actors that have involved themselves in the ongoing turf wars between #ZamaZama bosses. It is exceptionally concerning that we are seeing the high demand for the skill set of the exceptionally well trained members of the police special task force. Lest we forget that East Rand and Pretoria crime boss, Vusi “Cat” Matlala, confidant of EMPD suspended chief, Julius Mkhwanazi, hired ex police special task force members to protect him and his illegal blue light brigade, and allegedly used these members to settle scores.

We are here today; we are Palestinians, and Palestinians are us. Free Free Palestine!!! ✊🏿

Many say Palestine & Israel must sit & make peace… but they send arms to the Ukraine. What they are saying is that only whites have the right to war. Non-whites must seek peace when under injustice & war. Rubbish! Give Palestine arms as they are facing a RACIST COLONIAL state with a long term genocidal program! Israel has worked for the complete obliteration of Palestine and it must be stopped, by any revolutionary means possible! They have thus far achieved over 70% of Palestinian obliteration. This is no holy war, it is pure Colonial and racist domination! Those who love freedom, cannot be on the side of Israel. Palestine is the only side worthy of a freedom loving people!

He is gathering intelligence in funerals and weddings and wherever many people gather......he is doing his job undercover.....you are exposing the work of state security. You blew his cover and guilty of transgressing the intelligence act.....shame on you.....

Another massive load of illegal cigarettes seized in Lenasia, south of JHB. Products belonging to GLTC Zim. Four arrested: Two Zimbabweans and two Bangladeshi nationals. Seems half the load was already delivered.

Five suspects arrested. The police officers who escorted the loads apparently fled in two vehicles- one of them a marked police van.

1026 master cases of cigarettes smuggled from neighbouring Zimbabwe intercepted by @SAPoliceService. The syndicates behind this scourge are continuously adapting their methods in order to evade detection. Law enforcement agencies should remain vigilant. @sarstax @SANDF_ZA
