The Bench Marks Foundation has expressed concern at the number of mining companies operating in South Africa, that continue to fail in providing housing for their employees and local communities as required by law. According to research recently conducted by the foundation, many mines are surrounded by informal settlements where mineworkers and host communities live, due to the failure by the mining companies to meet their legal obligation. For more on this, we spoke to  Bench Marks Foundation Lead Researcher, David Van Wyk

Suspended South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Andrew Chauke, should not be blamed for making decisions that may have tarnished or compromised the integrity of the National Prosecuting Authority. This is according to former North West Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Sello Maema. Maema is being cross-examined at the Nkabinde Enquiry in Pretoria. The enquiry is probing Chauke's fitness to hold office. He was accused by former NPA head, Advocate Shamila Batohi, of making wrongful prosecutorial decisions while coordinating a team of prosecutors in the 2012 racketeering case against former KwaZulu-Natal Hawks head, Major General Johan Booysen, and members of the Cato Manor Police Unit. Evidence leader, Advocate David Mtsweni, has suggested that any wrongful prosecutorial decisions carried out by Chauke and his team should instead be attributed to former Acting Director of Public Prosecutions, Nomgcobo Jiba.
