JOZI FM CEO TO HOST 200 FATHERLESS CHILDREN FOR SPECIAL FATHER'S DAY CELEBRATION

As the countdown to the much anticipated Father's Day with Jozi FM's Dr Mpho Mhlongo this Sunday, preparations are at an advance stage.

Dr. Njomane with JoziFM dads are s set to host close to 200 children who are growing up without a father figure in their lives.

Speaking ahead of the event, Dr Mpho Mhlongo, said that he is counting down the hours to what he described as one of the most special days on the calendar.

Dr. Mhlongo said the annual initiative is dedicated to children who are fatherless, have lost their fathers, or have never known a father figure, with the aim of ensuring they feel loved, appreciated and supported.

"We celebrate Father's Day with children who are fatherless or who do not have a father figure in their lives. We want to treat them to a very special day. Father's Day to us means giving love to those who do not have a father in their lives," said Mhlongo.

He said the event is particularly meaningful because it focuses on children who may otherwise struggle during Father's Day celebrations.

Mhlongo added that Jozi FM Das are also looking forward to spending the day with children who have lost their fathers and those who have never had the opportunity to know them, providing them with a sense of belonging and care.

The station believes the initiative helps to remind the children that they are valued and supported by their community, despite the absence of a father figure in their lives.

The Father's Day event is expected to bring together nearly 200 children for a day of celebration, encouragement and meaningful engagement, as Jozi FM continues its efforts to uplift vulnerable members of the community.-

CITY POWER URGES COUNCILLORS TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE IN PAYING MUNICIPAL ACCOUNTS

City Power is calling on councillors and public office bearers across Johannesburg to lead by example by ensuring that their municipal accounts are paid in full and on time.

The power utility says it has intensified engagements with residents, businesses and stakeholders to encourage payment for electricity consumption and compliance with supply regulations as part of efforts to improve revenue collection and strengthen service delivery.

Acting Chief Executive Officer Charles Tlouane says public representatives have a responsibility to demonstrate the same compliance they expect from residents.

Tlouane says when leaders settle their accounts promptly, it strengthens the credibility of revenue collection campaigns and reinforces public trust. He adds that compliance with payment obligations is a shared civic duty and not an expectation placed only on ordinary customers.

According to City Power, as of 30 April 2026, approximately 48 councillor accounts were serviced by the utility, with 15 postpaid accounts reflecting arrears amounting to about 660-thousand rand. The figure includes electricity charges as well as other municipal services such as water, rates, refuse and sewer charges.

City Power says its Credit Control Policy is applied equally to all customers, including public representatives, and no special treatment is afforded to councillors.

The utility has urged councillors and office bearers to review their accounts, make use of available payment arrangements where necessary and support initiatives aimed at improving revenue collection, reducing outages and ensuring sustainable service delivery across Johannesburg.-

HOME AFFAIRS EXTENDS OFFICE HOURS FOR VOTER REGISTRATION WEEKEND

The Department of Home Affairs will extend office hours at all its offices nationwide this weekend in support of the Electoral Commission of South Africa's (IEC) Voter Registration Weekend.

Citizens are encouraged to visit their nearest Home Affairs office to apply for a Smart ID Card or collect a Smart ID Card that is ready for collection.

All Home Affairs offices across the country will be open on both Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 5pm in a bid to assist members of the public.

Home Affairs Minister, Leon Schreiber, said the voter registration weekend presents an important opportunity for South Africans to ensure they are ready to exercise one of their most fundamental democratic rights.

Schreiber said by extending operating hours nationwide during the registration weekend, the department is making it easier for citizens to obtain the Smart ID Cards needed to register and participate in the country's democracy.

According to the department, more than 370,000 Smart ID Cards are currently awaiting collection at Home Affairs offices nationwide.

The IEC has warmly welcomed the department of Home Affairs' decision to extend operating hours for the voter registration weekend.

"We encourage all South Africans who still need a Smart ID Card, or who have been notified that their Smart ID Card is ready for collection, to make use of this opportunity. An ID is not only essential for participating in our democracy, but also serves as a gateway to opportunities, services and economic participation," said Schreiber.

The minister added that the extended operating hours form part of the department's ongoing efforts to improve access to services and ensure that all eligible South Africans have the identity documents they need to exercise their democratic rights.

The Department of Home Affairs has urged citizens to visit their nearest office this weekend and avoid waiting until the last minute to apply for or collect their Smart ID Cards.-

A MAN WHO WAS RESIDING IN JABULANI HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO 25 YEARS FOR MURDERING WIFE

The High Court in Johannesburg has sentenced Alton Ncube to 25 years direct imprisonment for the murder of his wife, Makhosazane Ndlovu.

Ncube admitted to strangling Ndlovu to death after accusing her of infidelity.

Investigators say Ncube woke his wife and confronted her about the messages. During the confrontation, she allegedly admitted to cheating on him.

Authorities say the suspect became enraged, assaulted her and allegedly strangled her to death. It is further alleged that he recorded the incident on video.

Police confirmed that Ncube has since made a confession statement to investigators.

Following the incident in 2025 which occurred in Jabulani, he fled South Africa and travelled to his hometown in Zimbabwe, where he handed himself over to Zimbabwean police upon arrival.

Through the intervention of the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), Ncube was subsequently returned to South Africa to face justice.

During court proceedings on Thursday, Ncube pleaded guilty to the murder charge before the presiding judge.

He appeared in court for sentencing, where he was handed a 25-year direct prison term.

The investigation was led by Detective Nozipho Morotolo of the Jabulani SAPS.

Residents of Jabulani, Moletsane and surrounding areas expressed outrage over the killing and welcomed Ncube's return to South Africa, saying they were relieved that he had been brought back to stand trial and be held accountable for his actions.-

SARS MAKES 2026 FILING SEASON EASIER WITH PHASED APPROACH

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) says it has simplified the 2026 Filing Season process to provide taxpayers with greater clarity and certainty regarding submissions, refunds, and verification procedures.

Speaking at the launch of the 2026 Filing Season campaign, SARS Commissioner Dr Johnstone Makhubu said the tax authority has adopted a phased approach to ease pressure on service channels and improve the taxpayer experience.

The Filing Season will begin with the Auto Assessment period from 1 July to 12 July 2026, during which SARS expects to issue approximately six million auto assessments. The process is aimed at taxpayers with less complex tax affairs whose tax information has been fully submitted by employers and other third-party data providers.

Dr Makhubu described Auto Assessment as a world-class innovation that allows SARS to automatically reconcile taxpayer information and issue assessments without requiring taxpayers to submit returns.

The broader filing period for taxpayers who are required to submit tax returns will run from 13 July to 23 October 2026. Provisional taxpayers will have until 22 January 2027 to file their returns.

SARS has urged taxpayers not to visit its service centres during the Auto Assessment period and instead wait for official notifications indicating whether they have been selected for the process.

The Commissioner acknowledged that Filing Season often creates uncertainty for taxpayers, who may be concerned about the information SARS holds, potential refunds, verification requirements, and supporting documentation.

"Our point of departure this year is our recognition that behind every tax number is a person trying to get it right while managing the pressures of daily life," said Dr Makhubu.

He encouraged taxpayers to conduct a pre-Filing Season "health check" by ensuring that their personal details, banking information, contact particulars, and tax affairs are up to date.

According to SARS, issues such as closed bank accounts, missing third-party data submissions, or outstanding returns from previous years could delay the assessment process and any potential refunds.

The revenue service has advised taxpayers to resolve these matters through its digital channels before Filing Season begins to ensure a smoother and more efficient experience.-
