The Gauteng High Court sitting in Palm Ridge has sentenced Ekurhuleni serial rapist,  Nkosinathi Phakathi to 42 life sentences for rape offences he committed between 2012 and 2021. Phakathi was also slapped with 791 years for rape, kidnapping, theft, assault and compelling minors to witness a sexual act. Phakathi committed his brutal acts in the Ekurhuleni area between 2012 and 2021. He preyed mostly on school-going children, with the youngest victim being a 9-years-old. Ahead of his sentencing, my colleague Chriselda Lewis, spoke to one of Phakathi's victims, who was overcome with emotions as she waited to hear Phakathi's sentence.

The South African Policing Union says public sector unions are resolute on getting what is due to them from negotiations at the Public Service Co-Ordinating Bargaining Council. The latest wage talks have resulted in the introduction of a facilitator in the form of the CCMA or the Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration. Unions argue that the employer has not made an offer to employees and as such they have now gone back to their initial demand of 10% salary increase across the board. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to National Chief negotiator from the South African Policing Union Lesiba Thobakgale
