STORY | Nhlanhla Sizani allegedly tricked the police into believing that he was a UN ambassador

Netflix is the second largest streaming platform in Africa and our country accounts for 73% of Netflix viewers in Africa. Even the top 10 most watched movies in Africa for 2023 were dominated by South African movies. Mzansi is truly an interesting country. Real life continues to be shockingly entertaining here in the South.

From Rosemary Ndlovu to Thabo Bester to Matthew Lani: South Africa is a movie!!!

Now there is a new story. Nhlanhla Sizani, a 24 year old man from Orange Farm, allegedly tricked the police into believing that he was a United Nations Ambassador and submitted a fraudulent letter with the United Nations logo to the police requesting a police escort to polling stations during the local government elections in 2021.

It is alleged that the young man personally received briefings on the country's state of readiness for the elections from SA's most senior security cluster. From 2021 till 2024 he then participated in police activities and events where he took photos with the top management. Sometimes he would even speak at these top police events, including the SAPS Awards Ceremony. 

On one of his photos (Attached) he was seen with a senior police officer wearing SAPS-branded clothing at Orange Farm Police Station. When the Hawks instituted an investigation into his identity they found that he was not what he claimed to be and he got arrested. His case is currently before court and he faces charges of fraud, forgery and uttering.

South Africa is the land of opportunities😂 Netflix will never run out of content: "Based on a true story"🤣

Image
My cousin has been working from home ever since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. She only goes to the office once every month and has enough time to spend with the family. The Covid-19 lockdown introduced a more flexible and family-friendly way of work: Work-from-home. Remote work became the new normal due to Covid-19 regulations. Softwares like Zoom helped us to usher in the age of remote work and arguably benefited from the transition more than any other business. Zoom, the company whose name has become a verb symbolizing remote work is calling workers back to the office.

Very important to note that the company only summoned staff living a “commutable distance” to the office. Is this a sign that remote work’s days are “over,” “dead” and we are at the “end of an era? We don't know. What we do know is that Zoom isn’t alone in
