The Johannesburg Crisis Alliance has criticized the City of Johannesburg's recent move to refer over R4 billion worth of alleged financial misconduct cases to its internal Disciplinary Board, describing it as a procedural delay rather than genuine accountability.

Lobby group March and March says it has suspended its working relationship with radio personality Ngizwe Mchunu. Founder Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma says the move follows what the group calls unacceptable behaviour that could bring it into disrepute. The suspension will remain in place pending further investigations. Tensions emerged after Mchunu met President Cyril Ramaphosa ahead of the June 30 protests, a meeting Ngobese-Zuma was not part of and later distanced herself from. We spoke to March and March spokesperson, Sandile Dube.
