New data from background screening provider TPN has raised concerns about the safety of children in school environments across South Africa, as it revealed that 2.95% of school staff screened between March 2024 and February 2025 were flagged for criminal activity, including violent and sexual offences. While TPN said the figure slightly improved from last year's 3.08%, this still equates to one in every 34 individuals vetted, from teachers to groundskeepers, having a criminal record. Of those flagged, 1.22% had criminal records specifically related to abuse and sexual offences. Tinyiko Maringa spoke to education activist Hendrick Makaneta

FOCUS: The presenter Interviews Ronald Chauke, about ESKOM's planned tariff hike next month...... 

INTRO:
Eskom will implement an average electricity tariff hike of eight-point-seven-six-percent for the 2026/27 financial year following approval by the National Energy Regulator (NERSA). The adjustment will take effect from the 1st of next month for customers who purchase electricity directly from Eskom. The increase in tariffs are expected to place additional pressure on households and businesses, who are already struggling with the rising cost of living.
