Nombuso Mtshali, the owner of a bogus matric school in Durban, says she has closed the school to fix its registration problems.

East London roads have been cordoned off, with hundreds of EFF supporters from across the country shuttled to the city on 80 buses on Thursday, ahead of Julius Malema’s sentencing proceedings in the city’s regional court.

Residents said they had no choice but to flee Sporong because illegal miners regularly invaded their homes, assaulted them and demanded cash.

What was meant to be 13-year-old Bokamoso Mokhobo’s first day of high school yesterday turned to tragedy as the teenager died before getting to school when her scholar transport driver collided with a truck while trying to overtake other vehicles. Link

Israel’s approach to the latest Gaza aid flotilla seems illogical. Stopping them and boarding the boats in international waters is probably a war crime, as weapons were used there as a threat.

The Competition Commission’s work goes beyond the analysis of mergers and acquisitions and the review of complaints such as excessive pricing and collusive behaviour.

The conviction of Julius Malema in the East London magistrate's court last week marks the pivotal shift from the determination of guilt to the meticulous and nuanced process of sentencing.

The interception of an international flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza by Israeli forces has been correctly met with condemnation and protests in various countries around the world.

Much has been said about the acquittal of Julius Malema's co-accused, Adriaan Snyman. Predictably, some EFF members have seized on this outcome, twisting it mischievously to push racial narratives about the entire court judgment.

Dr Martin Luther King Jr said: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

Social media has always had the good and the bad sides to it. This week we were exposed to perhaps the extreme bad side of social media after reports on the death of SA’s ambassador to France, Nathi Mthethwa.

SA sits with a ticking time bomb that needs everyone’s attention, from the Union Buildings to the boardrooms of big business across the country.

Former president Thabo Mbeki has raised his voice, warning the ANC that if it does not mend its wayward ways, it will end up on the trash heap of political ignominy.

The presumption of innocence is not a privilege reserved for the powerful, it is a cornerstone of our constitutional democracy. Upholding it in Malema’s case is not about political favouritism, it is about safeguarding the rule of law.
