Benoni

So after y- you and your mum and brother and sister kinda gathered yourself at your grandma's house, where did you move to next with your mum?

Well, then we moved to Benoni, which is-

And what kind of place is that? What's it look like?

Um, it's actually beautiful.

It's called, um...

The actual name Benoni, uh, in Hebrew means son of my sorrows, but, um, now it's just city of lakes.

That's how they market it, 'cause it's-

It's, that's more auspicious than- Son of my sorrows

right? So I use regular red ginger garlic masala.

I get mine from roasted rosemary in Benoni, but I know that in Lens you get amazing masalas, in Joburg, everywhere, you know, I know you do get really amazing masalas.

And when you're cooking the chicken, obviously you're first going to braise your onions till it's golden brown with a little bit of jeeru.

Then I add the chicken, I add I like adding my cinnamon to the chicken at the start.

Johannesburg up to 19 degrees, Pretoria 21 and Rustenburg a high of 18.

In Benoni on the N12 eastbound, a collision on the N12 eastbound before Bunren Street.

In your sports software, presidential candidate Sandi Lezungu issues a strong ultimatum over the delayed payment of Bafana Bafana's World Cup bonuses.

And another UEFA Champions League season gets going this week with Paris Saint-Germain bidding to join the tiny bands of clubs having won the competition three years running.

As far back as when? When

you were born, Benoni,

no.

I would go from when we moved into Cape Town.

Sunnyvale.

So you

were involved in a 412 church up in Benoni? Yes,

City on a Hill in Benoni.

Back to Wandile's case.

Suspects Patwa and Cholani were arrested, charged, and they appeared in the Benoni Regional Court.

Despite Patwa's apparent confession or confessions here, The case, like many in South Africa that we're used to at this point, dragged on in the justice system.

Until one day, at a meeting in court, the Jasop family claimed that they were told the pair would not be sentenced.

Whistleblower Mary, however, did manage to snap a picture of a silver Volkswagen Polo in December 2025.

She believes Pinto was using this vehicle at the time.

News24 can confirm that the vehicle belonged to a Benoni-based teacher who had reported this VW stolen in Daviton about two months before the picture was taken.

The number plate in the picture Mary took did not change, meaning the hijackers were driving a reported stolen vehicle in broad daylight.

great people around us to to get the exposure out there um yeah so i i i believe that this could be a copy and paste for any small town and so if you got five or ten or twenty businessmen men together uh maybe have a big institution i've spoken briefly to people in korea's door because there's also a toho casino, Silver Star Casino is there and you've got someone like that to partner up with.

You can have a rocking Kriersdorp and you can have a rocking Benoni and you can have a rocking Cape Town as well.

It's just the will of the community to stand together and the will of the community to make a difference.

I think...

And if you can help one person, And that one person will ignite, that one person will feel, listen, I'm wanted, people worries about me, people cares, I must pay it forward now.

So it's a much bigger dream.

And that's why I said, if you do rocking Benoni and rocking Fentersdorp and rocking Durban and rocking Pietermiddels, it can be done.

I think we've paid that 10,000 hours school fees now.
