Suspect still on the run, Mahamba case drags on
Gauteng police admit they still haven't caught the guy wanted for killing a Zimbabwean man in Sandton, nine months after he was apparently run over repeatedly by a Ford Ranger.

Reports also surfaced about alleged vote-buying, with some pointing to new boreholes being drilled as a possible incentive. Official numbers showed a pathetic scene. Out of nearly twenty-three thousand registered voters, fewer than four thousand actually cast a ballot by late afternoon...
