 Controversial businessman Suliman Carrim expected to appear in the Musina Magistrate's Court today 

International mediators gathered at a United Nations-backed consultative forum in Geneva, Switzerland today, seeking a coordinated push to end Sudan's war as drone attacks continue to kill civilians in markets and homes. Nearly two dozen countries took part, amid U.N. demands for greater pressure on the warring parties and those supplying their weapons. Neither the Sudanese government nor the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces attended the forum, which brings mediators together to coordinate peace efforts. Sherwin Bryce-Pease reports that the meeting comes a day after the U.N. condemned deadly drone attacks on a market and fuel depot in the disputed Abyei region with reports putting the death toll at above 153.

Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has hit back at accusations that the newly announced temporary fuel levy relief is a political stunt aimed at winning votes ahead of next month's local government elections. ​Some opposition parties criticised the Minister's Medium Term Budget Policy Statement, claiming the timing of the three-rand per litre diesel reduction and one-rand-50 petrol relief-set to take effect on the 4th of November-was strategically linked to the upcoming polls.
