Last update: 9 hours ago

Xenophobia & Evacuation Crisis: South Africa’s Minority Caucus has slammed the government after it postponed the evacuation of Ghanaians amid renewed anti-foreigner tensions, arguing the delay shows serious planning gaps after public assurances—while Ghana says legal screening and flight permits are behind the pushback. Immigration Enforcement: Home Affairs says deportations and enforcement are ramping up, but police warn against “citizen arrests,” insisting only the state can enforce immigration law. Public Health Watch: Two polio strains have been detected in Cape Town wastewater, triggering notification to the Department of Health. Crime & Security: Police statistics keep spotlighting violent hotspots—Gauteng, Western Cape, Eastern Cape and KZN—while organised crime remains a major concern. Labour Pressure on PRASA: Unions are taking PRASA retrenchment plans to court, accusing the process of lacking transparency. Diplomacy Reset: New SA US ambassador Roelf Meyer says the mission was neglected for too long and aims to rebuild ties with both sides in Washington.
