The Casual Workers Advice Office says it has been flooded with calls from migrant workers who were allegedly dismissed, threatened or denied rights as anti-immigration sentiments rise in workplaces. The non-profit organization that provides free legal advice and organizing support to precarious workers says migrant workers were reportedly told not to return on the day of the marches, some receiving termination notices and left without pay or accommodation. The organisation says employers are exploiting the climate to target migrant and vulnerable workers and stressed that immigration status cannot be used to break labour law. We spoke to Andile Nyembezi, from the Casual Workers' Advice Office.

A new digital tool is aiming to change the way South Africans respond to crime and emergencies. The Crime Emergency App has been launched as a public safety initiative designed to make it easier for communities to report incidents in real time, connect with authorities, and ultimately improve response times. As concerns around crime and personal safety remain high across the country, this app could play a critical role in strengthening coordination between citizens and law enforcement. We spoke to  Crime Emergency App Innovator,Mapula Mailula.

The Constitutional Court has ruled the Western Cape Government and the City of Cape Town failed to meet their constitutional obligation to provide affordable housing when they sold the Tafelberg site in Sea Point in 2015. The court said the decision perpetuated apartheid spatial patterns and that land in well-located areas must be used for housing with access to transport, jobs and services. Provincial Infrastructure Minister, Tertuis Simmers says the province respects the judgment and will engage stakeholders to comply within the set timeframes.
