Parliament's Impeachment committee has resolved to obtain legal advice after it received a letter from President Cyril Ramaphosa, wherein he raised reservations about the evidence leader the committee has decided on. In its last meeting the committee resolved to recommend advocate Thandazani Madonsela SC to Speaker Thoko Didiza for appointment. In a letter Ramaphosa raises his reservations in terms of two instances of conflict of interest. He says he removed Madonsela as appointee to the Judicial Service Commission shortly after the 2022 interviews for the appointment of the Chief Justice and therefore, there is a reasonable apprehension that Madonsela may harbour a sense of grievance towards him. His second reservation relates to public comments that Madonsela made with regards to the Phala Phala theft during an engagement with the ANC. Zalene Merrington reports...

The investment is aimed at making rail travel faster, more reliable and a better option for thousands of commuters who depend on public transport. COO of the rail manufacturer voestalpine SA, Paul Springorum says this was a very unique engineering design and installation process due to the limited space and curves of the site...

By Newsbreak Producer Tashlan Naidoo - Environmental activists living along the Wild Coast of the Eastern Cape says they can finally plan their own community development after the Constitutional Court blocked energy giant Shell from renewing its offshore oil and gas exploration rights in the area. The landmark ruling ends a multi-year legal battle led by local fishing communities and environmental groups over flawed public consultation processes and marine protection. In a majority decision, the country's highest court overturned a 2024 judgment by the Supreme Court of Appeal. Spokesperson for social movement, the Amadiba Crisis Committee Nonhle Mbuthuma (ACC), explains what this ruling means for those who depend on that coastline for their livelihoods...
