It’s one of South Africa’s fastest-growing health threats, but it rarely gets the urgency of other crises.
Diabetes is quietly affecting millions of people across the country, many of whom don’t even know they have it. By the time it’s diagnosed, complications like blindness, amputations, and kidney failure have
already set in. In a healthcare system already under pressure, the real question is—are we taking this
crisis seriously enough, or are we only reacting when it’s too late?

Growing anger is spilling onto social media as clients of Standard Bank claim they’ve lost life-changing
sums of money in suspicious transactions—some allegedly happening without their knowledge and in
locations they were never present. While customers describe drained pension payouts and rapid
withdrawals into multiple accounts, the bank insists the most widely shared case dates back over a decade and was thoroughly investigated, with regulators finding no evidence of fraud.

The fight against corruption in South Africa has once again taken centre stage, this time in the Randburg Magistrates Court, where bail has been denied to a suspect linked to the assassination of whistleblower Marumo Phenya. Phenya was gunned down in 2022 after exposing an alleged multi-million rand tender fraud within the Department of Home Affairs. Today’s court decision marks a significant moment in a case that has come to symbolise both the dangers faced by whistleblowers and the long road to justice for those who dare to speak out.
