According to Sebokeng SAPS statement, the police requested public assistance in locating missing 17-year-old Ntando who was last seen in 18 December 2025 when he was allegedly going to an initiation school.

On Tuesday, the family and Sebokeng community watched the show with a hope that Gogo Thembi was going to find Ntamdo or bring him bavk at home.

Medium Gogo Thembi revealed that Ntando’s body is stuck in a river and shared a chilling message from the young man.

According Vaal Journal, using Ntando’s spirit in her body Thembi said the boy was able to share with her to convey a message that he died after a fight at an initiation school.

“When we arrived at the mountains, a fight ignited and I got injured. When the people who harmed me realized I wasn’t breathing, they took me and dumped me in the river,” said Thembi using Ntando’s spirit.

Thembi claimed Ntando is blaming his paternal family for his body’s entrapment and wants his paternal grandmother to perform a ritual to release him.

The grandmother appeared on the show, expressing shock and feeling attacked by Thembi’s revelations.

“I didn’t understand what she meant when she asked me what I had done to the child,” the grandmother said.

She admitted the family may have made a mistake by performing an introduction ceremony for Ntando with the Mofokeng ancestors without paying damages, as suggested by Thembi that Ntando is being held by these ancestors.

Ntando is still missing and no body from the initiation school has bothered to explain to the family if he indeed did attend the school.

The announcement landed with immediate force. Social media lit up within hours, splitting into two familiar camps. On one side were residents who sounded genuinely hopeful, saying they want firmer by-law enforcement and a metro that finally feels managed. On the other were those who warned that the appointment brings heavy political baggage and unavoidable controversy into a portfolio already under pressure.

A reshuffle that shifts the coalition picture

The reshuffle, led by Ekurhuleni Mayor Nkosindiphile Xhakaza, has also unsettled the metro’s already delicate coalition landscape. In local government, these changes are rarely just administrative. They carry political meaning, and they often signal new alliances, new power balances, and new tensions waiting to surface.

That tension quickly became visible, with ActionSA publicly distancing itself from the appointment and indicating that Khumalo would not be joining the mayoral committee. The fallout has added to broader uncertainty inside the coalition arrangement, with parties jostling for position while residents watch and ask a blunt question: will any of this translate into better governance?

Public expectations: illegal land occupation, by-law violations, and safety

Khumalo’s new portfolio places him at the centre of issues that affect people’s daily lives in an immediate, street-level way. This is the department residents look to when they want action on by-law compliance, public cleanliness, safer neighbourhoods, and visible enforcement that does not fade after the cameras move on.

Supporters argue that his appointment could bring a tougher stance on illegal dumping, alleged land invasions, non-compliance with municipal regulations, and crime hotspots that have long frustrated communities. There is a growing sense across the metro that patience is thinning, and people want practical, consistent enforcement that restores order without turning into chaos.

Even among those welcoming the move, the optimism comes with caution. Many are saying the same thing in different words: it is one thing to appoint a high-profile figure, but the real proof will be in the first clear plan, the first measurable results, and the first signs that the metro is serious about follow-through.

Legal controversy follows Khumalo into office

Khumalo is a familiar face to South Africans because of Sizok’thola, a programme focused on crime and community safety where he has built a national profile confronting alleged drug dealers and exposing suspected criminal networks. For many viewers, that visibility has made him a symbol of direct action, someone unafraid to go where others hesitate.

But his public profile has also been shaped by repeated legal controversy. In recent weeks, the Nigerian Union South Africa called for the arrest of Khumalo and the Sizok’thola crew, alleging they assaulted seven individuals during a drug-related operation where Emeka Clement Uzor was shot and killed following allegations that he was a drug kingpin.

This is not Khumalo’s first encounter with law enforcement. Earlier this year, he handed himself over to SAPS and was charged with assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm and pointing a firearm. Despite the allegations, ActionSA previously said it would not suspend him.

The City of Ekurhuleni has appointed Moja Love’s Sizok’thola presenter and ActionSA’s Ekurhuleni mayoral candidate, Xolani Khumalo, as the new Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Community Services and By-Law Enforcement, following a mayoral committee reshuffle announced on Tuesday night.

In 2024, his activism became entangled in a high-profile legal case following a confrontation in Katlehong that resulted in the death of Robert “Kicks” Varrie, a suspected drug dealer.

What happens next

With the appointment now public, attention shifts to what comes next. Residents want to see official plans, clear priorities, and a visible approach to enforcement that feels lawful, consistent, and effective. They also want reassurance that political turbulence will not distract from service delivery.

For many communities across Ekurhuleni, this moment feels like a turning point, either toward stronger governance and safer streets, or toward another cycle of headlines without change. The MMC’s office now carries that expectation, and the metro will be judged by what happens on the ground, not what is promised on paper.

Khumalo was announced to take over the new position after a reshuffling that was made by Mayor Nkosindiphile Xhakaza on Tuesday night.

In a statement issued by the party’s leader Herman Mashaba, he said ActionSA categorically distances itself from a false media statement currently circulating, which purports changes to the Mayoral Executive in Ekurhuleni.

“This statement is entirely fabricated and does not reflect any engagement or agreement involving ActionSA. Following repeated and unsuccessful attempts by Mayor Xhakaza to solicit ActionSA’s participation in his administration, I have consistently made it clear that we will not join his failing government and have rejected every personal and formal approach made to us.

“Our position has been very clear on every occasion that we will not lend credibility to an administration that has overseen the lawless and deterioration of service delivery that continues to cripple the city,” he said.

Mashaba said the people of Ekurhuleni are tired of dysfunction, lawlessness and the collapse of basic municipal services.

“ActionSA’s focus remains on restoring governance, cleaning out corruption, restoring the rule of law and fixing the fundamentals of service delivery. These are priorities we intend to implement when we secure a clear mandate from residents in the upcoming local government elections.

“I urge the public and the media to disregard the fabricated statement and to verify information through ActionSA’s official communication platforms,” he said.

The post ActionSA Rejects The Appointment Of Their Mayoral Candidate And Moja Love’s Sizok’thola Presenter Xolani Khumalo As The New MMC For Community Services And By-Law Enforcement In Ekurhuleni appeared first on MDNtv.

Despite the drug-busting show Sizokthola being aired on Moja Love, channel 157.

According to IReports , the channel have distanced themselves from the fatal incident that occurred during and took the life of Emeka Clement Uzor, also known as Rugert, during an anti-drug operation in Windsor East, Johannesburg.

The incident happened during the shoot of Sizokthola with the host and ActionSA Ekurhuleni Mayoral candidate Xolani Khumalo present. Police confirmed, they werenot part of the filming, but were called after the shooting. As to who fired the shot, police are still investigating.

Moja Love spokesperson Nonzwakazi Cekete shared with Newzroom Afrika that the broadcaster was not aware of the filming that took place on Sunday and that Sizokthola was produced by a third-party production company, which is commissioned to supply the fully packaged programme to the channel just air.

“We would like to set this on record. The Moja Love commissioned a third party. We were made aware of the incident when it happened. We then requested a report. It is correct what the MMC said the JMPD was not part of the shoot,” Cekete said.

“We have also received a report from the third party, and we and the authorities are conducting an investigation. We were aware they were shooting, but not in the Windsor area. Sizokthola is still a Moja Love show, but is shot by a third-party company outside of Moja Love.”

Cekete said for every production, whether internal or external, they stress that the need to work with law enforcement.

“Moja Love is not above the law and we would never sanction or support any activity conducted outside legal processes.”

A close affiliate revealed to Buzz Life News that Sizokthola is currently being shot by Peony Productions, owned by Xolani Khumalo’s wife, Bokani Moya – a former Moja Love employee.

“They worked on the production while she was at Moja Love. When he left following the court case, she also left the company. For Moja Love to distance themselves when their production belongs the them is cold and shifting accountability.”

The police in Katlehong in Gauteng have already arrested the chairperson of the Gauteng Crime Fighting Units, Duma Radebe.

The arrest of Duma follow a case which was opened in December by an alleged drug dealer who claimed he was assaulted and pointed with a firearm during a festive operation held in the area.

It is alleged that Duma was with Khumalo and a third party when the incident happened.

Gauteng SAPS Spokesperson Captain Mavela Masondo confirmed the incident.

“A 45-year-old male has been arrested and will be charged with assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and pointing of firearm. It is alleged that the suspect and his accomplices assaulted the victim and pointed him with firearms as they accused him of selling drugs. The suspect is expected to appear before Palmridge Magistrate Court in due course,” said Masondo.

MDN News undestands that the cops are also searching for two more crime fighters, the former Sizokthola host Xolani Khumalo and another member.

When Masondo was pressed about Khumalo being on the wanted, he declined to comment further.

“Unfortunately the law doesn’t allow the police to mention the name of the suspect if there is no warrant of arrest issued against him,” he said.

Khumalo is not new to controversy after his arrest in 2023 in which he was charged with murder, assualt and for theft.

The charges were later withdrawn and later Moja Love reinstated to his shpw as the presenter.
