The Forum for South Africa, FOSA has condemned the Public Protector for threatening legal action against people who insult her over the Phala Phala matter. FOSA says the warning of fines or jail risks intimidating public criticism and sets a dangerous precedent. It argues the move undermines freedom of expression and the constitutional principle that no office-bearer is above the law. The group is calling for public institutions to act with integrity and accountability. We spoke to Tebogo Mashilompane, National Leader of Forum for South Africa (FOSA).

Eleven suspects, including four Mexican nationals, have been arrested after a major drug bust at a clandestine lab on a Swartruggens farm.

It is calling for stronger community action based on Ubuntu and shared values.  We spoke to Pastor Lesiba Kgwele, Convenor of the Moral Regeneration Movement in the North West

COSATU has rejected Parliament's Impeachment Committee composition, saying it is unconstitutional. The union says limiting the Committee to 31 members cut the ANC's representation to 30%, below its 40% share in Parliament. The Committee was formed after a Constitutional Court ruling to probe allegations around foreign currency found at President Cyril Ramaphosa's Phala Phala farm. COSATU warns the setup undermines the 2024 election result and may face legal challenge. We spoke to Matthew Parks, COSATU Parliamentary Coordinator.
