Duo arrested for selling counterfeit solar panels:

GAUTENG – On the 07 December 2023, the Cormercial Crime Unit in collaboration with Crime Intelligence and Brand Protectors conducted a search and seizure operation at Crown Mines, Johannesburg Central.

During the operation, two people were separately arrested for selling counterfeit solar panels and they were also found with stickers for branding fake Chinise imports as Canadian made. All items seized are estimated to the value of R250 000.

The arrested suspects are expected to appear before Johannesburg Magistrates’ court soon on charges of selling counterfeit goods.

Editor: Another reason why you should only deal with registered electricians and suppliers. If the price is too good to be true then you are probably being ripped off!

Ponte City: Success

Today, Ponte City is a success story of urban reclamation, though it remains a place of intense complexity. It is no longer a luxury playground for the elite, nor is it a gang-controlled fortress. Instead, it is a bustling residential hub for the city’s working and middle classes. The core is clean, and the “Vodacom” neon sign that wraps around the top of the building—the largest electronic sign in the southern hemisphere—continues to pulse as a beacon over the city.

The building has also become a cultural icon on the global stage. Its dystopian aesthetic has made it a favorite for filmmakers; it served as a primary location for the finale of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter and influenced the set design of the futuristic slums in District 9. For Johannesburgers, Ponte is more than a building; it is a barometer of the city’s health. Its journey from a symbol of colonial luxury to a pit of despair, and finally to a functional, vibrant home for thousands of Africans, mirrors the messy, hopeful trajectory of Johannesburg itself.
