Titled Policy to power: 10 actions to deliver green, accessible and secure electricity, the report outlines a sequenced roadmap to complete the transition from a vertically integrated, monopoly-driven system to a competitive, multi-market electricity.

Residents of Gugulethu informal settlement in Springs, on Gauteng’s East Rand, continue digging for what they believe are gold deposits beneath a former cattle kraal — but growing questions remain about whether there is actually gold in the ground. The rush began after rumours circulated about untapped minerals near a disused mine shaft in the area. Within days, the kraal on a neighbouring plot was transformed into a hive of activity, with dozens of people digging holes across land roughly the size of two soccer fields. Thabiso Tema spoke to Lungile Dhladhla a Process Engineer.

In pursuit of clarity regarding the status of the programme, we also engaged the Lesedi Local Municipality Manager, the South African Human Rights Commission and the Gauteng MEC of Human Settlements. Thabiso Tema spoke to Nora Bonga a beneficiary of Ikageleng Land Release Programme.
