WATCH: In the Finance Department, a formal complaint relating to an alleged R1.5 million refund fraud has already led to 27 active suspensions. Several of these matters are long-running disciplinary cases, with the criminal aspects now before the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court. A similar approach is being applied to the recruitment of the 200 Tshwane Metro Police Department cadets. While this matter has been referenced at the Madlanga Commission, concerns were raised with the City as early as February, and an investigation was already initiated in this regard. We therefore welcome the work of the Madlanga Commission and will act on its findings. @CityTshwane

GOLDMAN PREDICTS STRONGER RAND Goldman Sachs expects the Rand to strengthen further, supported by falling interest rates and improving public finances in South Africa. The currency ended 2025 almost 13% stronger against the US dollar, its best performance in 16 years, helped by a weaker dollar and steady global growth. The bank says South Africa is benefiting from easing inflation, lower borrowing costs and relatively low political risk compared with other emerging markets facing elections. Rising precious metal prices could also support the rand. Goldman believes investors are shifting towards emerging markets as domestic demand improves.

Good to see increased visibility of police and metro police along various highways and byways in Johannesburg in the lead-up to the G20 summit. The deployment of officers in conspicuous locations and the heightened presence of marked vehicles undoubtedly contributes to a reassuring sense of security. Yes, this is particularly crucial in maintaining public order and ensuring the smooth operation of events, especially those with international significance. This increased visibility fosters a sense of safety, which is vital for building and maintaining positive community relations. However, this level of visible policing should not merely be a temporary measure. The need for a strong law enforcement presence, readily visible and accessible to the public, extends far beyond the duration of any specific event. The safety and security of all should be a year-round priority. The continued and consistent deployment of visible policing strategies throughout the year is crucial. This includes maintaining a significant presence on key roads, in public spaces, and in areas known to be susceptible to crime.
