Mantashe Challenges Freedom Park Resident: “Who Is Giving Your Grandchildren the Child Support Grant?”

Mantashe Challenges Freedom Park Resident: “Who Is Giving Your Grandchildren the Child Support Grant?”

‎ANC National Chairperson Gwede Mantashe has highlighted the African National Congress’ social welfare record while engaging residents during a door-to-door campaign in Freedom Park, Johannesburg.

‎Mantashe said the ANC would continue to acknowledge its mistakes, explain its shortcomings and present voters with clear remedial actions as it seeks to regain public confidence.

‎During his engagement with one Freedom Park resident, Mantashe asked whether the resident’s grandchildren were receiving the Child Support Grant.

‎Mantashe: “Do your grandchildren get a child support grant?”

‎Resident: “Yes.”

‎Mantashe: “Who is giving them that?”

‎The exchange appeared aimed at reminding residents of the ANC-led government’s role in providing social grants to millions of South Africans, while making a broader appeal for support ahead of the upcoming local government elections.

‎Mantashe’s engagements form part of the ANC’s grassroots campaign strategy, as the party seeks to reconnect with communities, listen to residents’ concerns and convince voters that it can address the challenges facing municipalities and improve service delivery.

‎The ANC chairperson has maintained that the party must be honest with voters about its mistakes while clearly outlining how it intends to correct them.

  Brown Mogotsi To Stay In Custody After Intense Court Hearing ‎‎Brown Mogotsi appeared in court today as tensions rose over delays in verifying his residential address ahead of a formal bail application. ‎‎The defense argued that keeping Mogotsi in custody for another 7 days was excessive, especially after the state had already received the full address details. Lawyers pushed for a shorter postponement until Thursday, saying the state should have prepared logistics in advance for verification. ‎The prosecution responded that the address was only recently provided and insisted more time was needed before deciding its position on bail. Heated exchanges followed as the court debated fairness, procedure, and the accused’s time already spent behind bars.‎In the end, the magistrate ruled in favor of the state, postponing the matter to Monday, 25 May, for address verification and a formal bail application. Brown Mogotsi will remain in custody until then. ‎‎#BrownMogotsi #CourtDrama #Sou...

‎PORT DRUG SYNDICATES EXPOSED! Police Reveal Why Drug Kingpins Keep Escaping Arrest ‎ ‎Commission hearing revealed the immense challenges law enforcement faces in tracking international drug syndicates operating through South African ports. A senior officer explained how police and Crime Intelligence conduct highly risky undercover "controlled delivery" operations, where seized drugs are replaced with harmless substances and fitted with tracking devices in an attempt to identify the real criminals behind the shipments. ‎ ‎The testimony exposed a frustrating reality: despite sophisticated surveillance efforts, syndicates often detect police activity before the operation can succeed. The officer described how port environments are heavily monitored by criminal networks, making covert operations extremely difficult. Every movement—from boarding ships to installing tracking devices—can potentially alert suspects. ‎ ‎The commissioner questioned why authorities se...
