Justice System: Thabo Bester and Nandipha Magudumana’s trial was pushed to April 2027 after defence teams said they were not ready, with Magudumana’s Constitutional Court challenge still pending. Governance & Oversight: Parliament moved to reconstitute the Central Drug Authority board after delays, setting up a joint sub-committee to process nominations.
