By Newsbreak Executive Producer Salma Patel - The 70th Anniversary of the Freedom Charter at the University of KwaZulu-Natal's Gandhi-Luthuli Documentation Centre will take place on Thursday. The charter is a historic document that served as a blueprint for the political, economic and social structure that the people of South Africa demanded and was adopted on the 26th of June 1955 at Kliptown in Soweto. This document, although not fully implemented, played a role in government's approach in its service delivery programme. The freedom charter has also been used as a foundation in drafting the National Development Plan (NDP). Kiru Naidoo, Historian and Member of the Advisory Board of the Gandhi-Luthuli Documentation Centre will be in conversation with Author Joe Raju to discuss the importance of The Freedom Charter...

By Newsbreak Producer Tashlan Naidoo - The Verulam Water Crisis Committee (VWCC) north of Durban says frustration is building as residents continue to feel the impact on continued water supply disruptions. The Committee says there are certain communities experiencing interrupted water supply for several years while others are left with dry taps for pro-longed periods without notice.

By Newsbreak Senior Producer Taresh Harreeparshad - While South African's brace themselves for potentially exorbitant fuel price hike next month- economist John Loos says the private transport sector will be the hardest hit. He was basing this on the 2022 oil price surge- where the private transport inflation rate peaked 45.64% year-on-year in June 2022 while the minibus taxi fare inflation rate peaked at a significantly lower 19.6%. Geo-political uncertainty following the conflict in Iran has plunged global oil prices into the red. Current data from the Central Energy Fund suggests an approximate price increase of over R7.00 per litre for diesel while petrol could surge by over R4.00 per litre. But while the public transport sector may better endure the financial storm brewing- Loos says the ripple effects for the lower income consumer will be strongly felt...
