By Newsbreak Producer Hoosen Ebrahim - More than 2,000 displaced Malawian nationals who have been sheltering in the open at Durban's Sherwood Hall playground are now being transported home as buses arrive to begin the repatriation process. The group sought refuge at the site after targeted threats from anti-foreigner groups forced them to flee their communities, leaving vulnerable children and elderly people exposed to harsh winter conditions.

By Newsbreak Senior Producer Taresh Harreeparshad - President Cyril Ramaphosa's bid to the halt the work of Parliament's impeachment committee is not beyond the law.

Prof Kotze explains while the President has the right to interdict the matter- the public could view this as a delaying tactic...

By Newsbreak Producer Hoosen Ebrahim - The 2026 Sardine Run has officially arrived on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, with the first major catches already hauled ashore at Port Edward. Seine netters brought in multiple crates of sardines over the weekend, marking the start of one of South Africa's most anticipated natural events. Crowds gathered along the shoreline as the annual migration began to unfold. Marine experts are closely monitoring the movement of the shoals as they make their way north. The run is expected to attract fishermen, tourists and marine predators to the coastline in the coming weeks. Authorities are urging beachgoers to remain cautious as activity increases along the coast. Here's angling expert Adam Kamdar who's tracking the movements of the sardines...
