If it is determined that South Africa no longer requires the SABC, the DA would propose that it be broken up and sold.

The Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg is today hearing the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) political party's bid to interdict the upcoming October leg of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) sitting which is expected to begin on  Monday the 7th of October. This comes after the Western Cape High Court ruling which suspended MK Party JSC candidate John Hlophe from participating in the proceedings. Hlophe is barred from taking part in the interviews pending the finalisation of the review of the National Assembly's decision to designate him as a JSC member. The party contends that the absence of the MK party's representative, Dr. John Hlophe leaves it "unlawfully composed". Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC reporter, Zoleka Qodashe...

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.
