ISAAC SATLAT: MURDERED SHE WROTE!

Isaac Satlat
Few days after Emeka Uzor's death in Randburg, Johannesburg; another Nigerian is now a victim of car-hijackers.

Isaac Satlat, a seasoned e-haling driver, passed away while he was working in Pretoria. He was one of many Nigerians who are creating jobs for themselves having seen that there's no jobs for foreigners in South Africa.

A 22-year-old young man, from Plateau State in Nigeria has been strangled to death by one or more passenger(s) on Wednesday, 11th February.

Suspected hijacker and murderer

According to a publication on IOL by Ntombizodwa Dlamini, confirming that

"Gauteng police have arrested a female suspect following the brutal killing of an e-hailing driver in Pretoria West on Wednesday. 

Authorities say more arrests are imminent as investigations continue into the shocking crime that has gripped the province. 

Police spokesperson, Colonel Mavela Masondo, said preliminary reports suggest the victim was attacked by a male and female passenger who had requested an e-hailing service.

"The driver's hijacked vehicle and his body were later discovered in Atteridgeville on the same day," said Masondo. 

Masondo added that the suspect is expected to appear before the Atteridgeville Magistrate’s Court on Monday, facing charges that include murder and car hijacking. 

The arrest comes after a disturbing video circulated on social media, showing a young man being assaulted while seated in his vehicle. 

The footage, shared by anti-crime activist Yusuf Abramjee on X on Wednesday, depicts a woman in a beige bucket hat and white t-shirt in the front seat, while a man seated behind her repeatedly attacked the driver before they both fled the scene."

Helen Zille: Trolling our TikTok for Joburg

OPINION:

Sometimes two-Saturday ago, I was standing in between Biccard and Jorissen Street when I looked up at a digital billboard, the very one at Nedbank offices in Braamfontein; lol and behold the advert that came in was one of Helen Zilles.

"BELIEVE in JOBURG - HELEN ZILLE - for Mayor", at first, I laughed at this old political-witch that have given South African's politics a run for donkey years. 

A member of the national assembly, from 2004 to 2006, executive mayor of Cape Town, from 2006 to 2009, member of Western Cape Provincial Parliament from 2009 to 2019 and finally, Premier of the Western Cape, from 2009 to 2019.

I ask myself what more she wants? 

Born in Hillbrow, Johannesburg. the eldest child of


parents who separately left Germany in the 1930s to avoid Nazi persecution due to the fact that her maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother were Jewish. Zille was believed to be the grandniece of the Berlin painter Heinrich Zille.

A daughter of immigrants whose works over the years involve in political journalism, anti-apartheid movement, education policy, mayoral activities; just to mention a few. Under her DA leadership, she failed in her quest to win the country in the poll hence her achievements over the years in her political involvement in Cape Town was tarnished with drug abuse and gangs' violence all over the cape coast.

Though, born in Joburg, she devoted all her time in building a home far away from home in Cape Town and now reality kicks in as the latest Joburg returnee wants to keep Joburg in her fob! 

Helen Zille held her first-ever TikTok live on February 5, 2026, at 6 PM. She promoted the event on her Facebook and TikTok accounts as part of her "#BelieveInJoburg" campaign for the 2026 municipal elections.

Will the ANC and other political parties allow DA's grip on Joburg? The race is on and I will be somehere watching until one day I run City of Johannesburg for the better of all!
