Nxokwana, who joined SAPS in 2024, holds a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Psychology and Sociology from Walter Sisulu University. She says her studies have helped her treat every member of the public with patience, respect, and understanding.
Her story continues to inspire many, proving that one dedicated officer can make a lasting difference in the community.
The 31-year-old woman who aged rapidly to 80 years old woman, Sinenhlanhla Khoza from Mtubatuba, KwaZulu-Natal, has been discharged from the hospital. Sadly, her condition has reportedly worsened since she returned home.
We continue to pray for Sinenhlanhla, hoping for strength❤️🙏🏼

The footage has left many South Africans questioning who the men were and what they were doing.
REST IN PEACE: Palesa (20) Body Found In Dustbin, Extension 2 Soshanguve 💔🕊️
On Tuesday, 16 June, the community was shocked by the tragic discovery of Palesa's body in Extension 2. Her lifeless body was found dumped in a dustbin, a heartbreaking and undignified end for a young woman whose life was cut far too short.
She was laid to rest at Soshanguve Crossing Cemetery on Saturday, 27 June. Palesa was only 20 years old. Another young life stolen in our communities. We continue to lose our daughters, sisters, and friends in these senseless acts of violence. When will this end?
May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. May her family find strength and comfort during this painful time. We stand with them in their grief.

REST IN PEACE: 21-Year-Old Stabbed to Death Over Missing Cellphone💔🕊️
Mvelo Thabethe, 21 years old, from the Dlamini area in Soweto, was socialising with a group of friends in the area.
One person in the group reported that their cellphone was missing. The suspect in the case allegedly became agitated and demanded that no one leave until the phone was found.
Mvelo decided to go home anyway. The suspect reportedly followed him and stabbed him in the stomach. Mvelo was rushed to a nearby hospital but succumbed to his injuries later that day.
The family insists the missing phone was never found in Mvelo’s possession and that he was killed “for no reason.”
He was raised by his great-grandmother, a pensioner, after losing his biological mother at a young age. The family is now facing major financial strain while trying to arrange his funeral.
The suspect’s own family reported the incident to Moroka Police Station. The suspect was arrested and has already appeared in the Protea Magistrate’s Court.
He remains in custody as the case proceeds.
Rest in Peace, Mvelo Thabethe. 💔🕊️

A 23-year-old man who had been arrested in connection with the murder of Nhlamulo Sambo has been released after authorities determined that there was not enough evidence to continue prosecuting him.
The family of a man who was shot and killed by cash-in-transit security guards in Bushbuckridge says they are heartbroken by his death and insist that he was not a criminal, but someone struggling with mental health issues.
According to reports, the man allegedly stabbed the driver of a cash-in-transit vehicle near a shopping complex before security guards opened fire on him. It is further alleged that he was later run over by a vehicle during the incident.
The family is now demanding action against the security guards, saying an innocent person lost his life.
A woman was stabbed and killed during a violent altercation involving another woman in Twatwa. The incident allegedly started from a dispute over a man, which quickly escalated into a deadly confrontation.
According to witnesses, the suspect appeared to be intoxicated at the time of the incident. After the stabbing, community members gathered at the scene in shock. The suspect was reportedly seen sitting next to the victim’s body crying after realizing what had happened.
The man believed to be at the center of the dispute allegedly fled the scene after the attack. It is also claimed that the suspect works as a CPF guard linked to the local police station. Police are expected to investigate the matter further.
Reports claim a man was caught in Zone 10, Sebokeng allegedly stealing solar lights. After being confronted, community members reportedly assaulted him as punishment before authorities arrived.
According to the mother: My daughter was diagnosed with leukemia (blood cancer) when she was 9 months old. I will never forget the day the doctors told me she had blood cancer and that her chances of surviving were very small.
They said children under one year old do not often survive, even with chemotherapy. I felt like darkness had covered me and there was no light.
What gave me hope was trusting in God, because there is no situation greater than Him.
She is now 6 years old. Wish her a happy birthday for me
