Forty-four Ethiopian men were found locked inside a Sandton house. A case of human trafficking is being investigated.

Police say the VW Polo that Keamogetswe Buys, Boipelo Senoge and Cebekhulu Linda were travelling in, will help to determine what happened to them. The three constables have been positively identified by their families at the Tshwane mortuary.

The Department of Water and Sanitation is closing two sluices gates at the Vaal Dam today, as the water levels continue to decrease.

All this and more.
