Critical Minerals Diplomacy: The US and South Africa held high-level talks in Johannesburg on potential critical-minerals agreements, with discussions described as “very early stage” but aimed at securing supplies for defence, electronics and energy as China’s grip tightens. Western Cape Storm Recovery: Dam levels in the Western Cape jumped to above 70% after severe weather, even as authorities continue repairing flood damage and responding to the deaths and displacement from earlier storms. Gaza Aid Detention: South African humanitarian ambassador Faizel Moosa was detained by Israeli authorities while delivering aid on a flotilla, with his family urging urgent diplomatic action—especially given his diabetes and medication needs. Ebola Escalation: Officials believe Congo’s Ebola outbreak began weeks ago, and the WHO has declared it a public health emergency of international concern. Politics & Courts: The IEC rejected Julius Malema’s claims of 2024 election irregularities, while Parliament defended its public participation process in a Constitutional Court challenge over procurement law changes. Crime & Corruption: A Malawian man, his South African wife and her brother were arrested over alleged fraud involving Malawi’s COVID-19 unemployment insurance funds.
