SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE SERVICE

CAPE TOWN - The SAPS in the Western Cape has noted with concern reports on social media from a grouping that threatens to shut down on Monday, 27 July 2020 certain parts of Cape Town including major freeways and access roads. The reports whether true or not are a cause for concern as they are likely to impact on the lives of ordinary citizens. It is on this basis the management of the SAPS in the Province has undertaken to mobilise resources within the SAPS and other law enforcement agencies under the auspices of the ProvJoints to curb acts of lawlessness. In the same breath sporadic incidents of public violence that have taken place in various parts of the Cape Town metropole remain a troubling aspect for law enforcement agencies.
It is on this basis the SAPS in the Western Cape is issuing a stern warning to all communities to respect the rule of law. Cape Town, just like the rest of the country is still under lockdown in terms of the Disaster Management Act. Alert level 3 of the lockdown has restrictions that everyone needs to observe and abide by. Gatherings are still prohibited under lockdown. The SAPS wishes to reiterate public violence remains an offence that is punishable by law.
The forces on the ground will not hesitate to take decisive action should people embark on unlawful conduct.
In anticipation of any eventuality various SAPS units with the City of Cape Town’s Metro police and Traffic Services are on high alert.
We remain committed to ensuring that all citizens of the Western Cape are and feel safe.

 Big Brother viewers are convinced they picked up on AJ Odudu's real reaction to Trish's eviction during Friday night's live episode. Following Trish's exit, which left many viewers reeling after she was tipped as one of the favourites to win the show, fans speculated over AJ's one-word response. Many believe they caught AJ saying 'what?' after it was revealed that Trish would be the second evictee of the night, after Chanelle was booted from the house. They suggested that the Big Brother host was just as shocked as viewers that Trish was leaving the house just a week before the live final. After it was announced that Trish would be leaving, AJ's reaction was caught due to the close proximity of her microphone. One account, wrote: 'AJ Odudu saying 'what?!' accidentally down her mic into the house after Trish was evicted I… she really is one of us #BBUK.'

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file
