Another Issue that was raised by Ngizwe Mchunu's Bhinca Nation as well as Hlangana Mzansi was that of NGO's. "There are quite a number of issues that they've raised with us the issue of the number of Ngos across the country this Ngos who are operating illicit activities but also who are actually attacking the state." She further elaborates that that Minster of finance has introduced a Bill, aimed at closing loopholes that allow NGO's to receive funds for illicit activities. " There's a law that minister of finance under FATF has introduced in Parliament that actually is changing even the declarations of Ngos in the country so that we don't have this situation where money is being flown into Ngos where it end up leading to committing of crimes."

NORTH WEST BUSINESSMAN CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH ATTEMPTED THEFT OF MOTOR VEHICLES Pretoria, 21 October 2026; The Commissions Recommendations Task Team (CRTT) has added a prominent North West businessman as an accused in connection with two cases involving attempted theft of motor vehicles, fraud and uttering. The cases emanate from an incident on 22 July 2026, when police members stationed at the Beitbridge border post in Musina intercepted two motor vehicles allegedly destined for Malawi. Two suspects were arrested and charged with attempted theft of motor vehicles, fraud and uttering. Preliminary investigations indicate that the vehicles were allegedly being transported from Mahikeng towards the Beitbridge border post for onward travel to Malawi. It is alleged that arrangements had been made to obtain bank authorisation documents to facilitate the legal cross-border movement of the vehicles. However, the required authorisation was allegedly not provided, and fraudulent bank documents were subsequently arranged. The circumstances surrounding the alleged use of fraudulent documentation and the intended movement of the vehicles across the border form part of the ongoing investigation. The two vehicles, which were still financed, were handed over to the bank. The two suspects remain in custody and are expected to appear before the Musina Regional Court on 27 October 2026. On 21 October 2026, the businessman was charged and added to the two existing cases. He is expected to make his first court appearance before the Musina Magistrate’s Court on 22 October 2026.
