Labour unions are warning of an impending confrontation with government over the urgent setting and implementation of new electricity tariffs for ferrochrome smelters, after Transalloys has become the latest company to issue a retrenchment notice amid persistently high power costs. Transalloys said in late December that it had issued a Section 189 notice that could impact 600 jobs, which could take effect in the coming weeks. The company warned that it is no longer able to sustain operations under the current electricity pricing regime. Transalloys CEO, Konstantin Sadovnik, said electricity is the smelter’s biggest cost driver and that, at current Nersa-approved tariff levels, the company was unable to compete with international rivals. "That gap makes sustained operation impossible. The smelter has no choice in the matter. We regret placing this…

Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) has dismissed allegations that it lacks the capacity to manage security checkpoints at its airports, particularly passenger and baggage screening points, following reports that the entity has been informally recruiting private security staff to plug staffing gaps. The claims emerge in the wake of serious security breaches last year, most notably an incident in which a passenger departed from OR Tambo International Airport (ORTIA) and was later found in possession of two training hand grenades upon arrival at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Workers employed by private security firms have alleged that ACSA has been “poaching” experienced personnel to work at screening checkpoints, despite internal policies that only Acsa-branded uniforms should be visible at these points. Those left behind at private firms say…

Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABInbev), the Belgium-based global brewer, said Tuesday it had exercised its right to reacquire, for about R49.16 billion, the 49.9% minority stake in its US-based metal container plants. The stake will be reacquired from a consortium of institutional investors led by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, for a price estimated to be approximately $3bn. "Our US-based metal container plant operations include seven facilities across six states and are a strategic component of our business, ensuring quality, cost efficiency, speed of innovation and supply security for our brands, while providing industry-leading manufacturing jobs and driving economic growth in communities across the US," a statement from the group's board said on Tuesday. The exercise of the repurchase option will be funded with cash-on-hand and is consistent with the group's capital…

AfriForum, which is a party in the court battle against the Information Regulator (IR) in the fight regarding the publication of matric results in newspapers, said it will strongly consider turning to court to obtain an urgent order for the results to be published next week. Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube is expected to announce the national results on January 12, but as the IR filed a notice to appeal last month’s judgment, which gave the green light for the publication of the results, this is automatically suspended. Alana Bailey, head of cultural affairs at AfriForum, said that if it turns out that the results will not be published in newspapers early next week, AfriForum will most definitely consider turning to court. In its notice to the parties, including the…

DA leader John Steenhuisen said improving service delivery would be central to the party’s agenda in 2026, alongside job creation, public safety, and an intensified fight against corruption, as the country prepares for the upcoming local government elections. In his New Year message, Steenhuisen said the outcome of the 2024 national and provincial elections had made possible the formation of a Government of National Unity (GNU). “South Africa now has a government of national unity, a coalition of various political parties representing a diverse South Africa,” he said. Within the GNU, Steenhuisen said the Democratic Alliance remained committed to pushing for urgent reforms that would broaden opportunities for more citizens while intensifying efforts to combat crime and corruption. He said that, despite the complexities of coalition governance, the party’s focus…

Unions representing public servants are demanding that the Government Employees’ Medical Scheme (GEMS) reduce its executives’ salaries to align with senior functionaries in the state’s departments. Labour representatives at the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council (PSCBC) want GEMS to align its executives’ remuneration to the public service and a drastic reduction in the level of remuneration of the medical aid scheme’s board of trustees. The unions, which include the largest representing government employees, the Public Servants Association (PSA) and the National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu), believe that the initiatives undertaken by GEMS’ board of trustees are insufficient and want the PSCBC to add other basket of initiatives, including the reduction of the reserve ratio from 25% to 20%. The Council for Medical Schemes requires a reserve or…

“It is now, more than ever before, so vital that we make an effort to increase the birthrate of our white Aryan race,” wrote a 55-year-old South African man in leaked profiles from a white supremacist dating site. His profile is among the at least 47 South Africans who have been identified among thousands of users exposed in a major data leak involving a white supremacist dating site and its affiliated platforms. “I would like to meet and make friends with traditional Aryan ladies,” he continued. The dating site WhiteDate, a self-styled platform in extremist circles for like-minded “traditional European value” romantics, and its affiliated platforms WhiteChild and WhiteDeal were found to have disastrously poor cybersecurity protections. A self-described security researcher operating under the pseudonym Martha Root exfiltrated over 8…

Mayor of Tshwane Nasiphi Moya, a newly-appointed commissioner for the Presidential Climate Commission (PCC) for the 2026-2030 term, says the city will contribute its hand-on experience and data-driven approaches to the commission’s work to drive impactful climate strategies. This comes after Moya was named by President Cyril Ramaphosa as one of 25 commissioners to drive climate action strategies in the next five years, succeeding the outgoing commissioners whose term ended December 31, 2025. PCC Executive Director and Commissioner Designate, Dorah Modise, applauded Ramaphosa “on his well-informed and guided decision on the appointment of these diverse leaders of our society and communities, to drive and guide our country’s just transition journey and climate action efforts”. She added: “As we undertake this renewed mandate, we remain cognisant that PCC integrity and convening…

The call from Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development Mmamoloko Kubayi for mandatory lifestyle audits for all prosecutors comes at a pivotal moment for the country’s judiciary. The initiative is welcomed by numerous stakeholders as a crucial step towards restoring faith in a system weighed down by allegations of corruption and misconduct. This push for transparency follows a series of disconcerting events within the justice system, notably the recent legal troubles of Gauteng High Court Judge Portia Phahlane. Last November, Judge Phahlane was granted R50 000 bail by the Pretoria Commercial Crimes Court, alongside her son, Kagiso, and businessman Vusi Ndala, who were both granted bail of R10 000 each. The court proceedings for Michael Sandlana, the primary accused and leader of the International Pentecost Holiness Church, were postponed for…

BAFANA Bafana midfielder Relebohile Mofokeng says South Africa’s round-of-16 exit at the Africa Cup of Nations has provided him with important lessons as his international journey continues. As the tournament enters its business end—where Africa’s top sides are battling for continental supremacy—Hugo Broos and his squad will be observing from afar, having missed out on a significant opportunity to further build on what has been a largely encouraging period for the national team. With their next competitive assignment only coming later this year at the Fifa World Cup, set to be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, Bafana Bafana now face a lengthy wait, relying solely on international friendlies to prepare for the global showpiece. There is optimism that the disappointment suffered at AFCON will serve as…

THE Lions have stressed the importance of following up the weekend’s impressive away performance in the United Rugby Championship with another in Saturday’s home game against Lyon in the EPCR Challenge Cup. The Joburg side is still searching for their first win of the truncated competition after losing their opening two matches. “The difficult thing with the French teams is that you never know which team they are going to put out, even at home. But what we all know about the French, not just Lyon, is that they are very good once they get momentum, they can generate further momentum. “They have a very good kicking game, so they are clever with when they kick and are cautious in their own half until they feel that there is an…

1996 Bafana Bafana AFCON-winning squad member Roger De Sa has weighed in on the team’s run at the ongoing continental showpiece, diverting from “popular opinion”. Bafana were eliminated from the event in the Last 16 on Sunday night after losing 2–1 to Cameroon at the Agdal Medina Stadium in Rabat. That result stung for the team and their supporters as they arrived at the event full of confidence that they would emulate the ’96 class and surpass their third-place finish from the last edition in Ivory Coast. After all, Hugo Broos and his men had done well in the past few months following the event in Ivory Coast, qualifying for AFCON without a loss and automatically securing their ticket to the World Cup finals in June for the first time…

S&P Global says headline PMI declined to 47.7 in December, from 49.0 in November Business conditions in South Africa deteriorated sharply in December, with the S&P Global South Africa Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) falling to its weakest level in nearly a year as subdued demand weighed heavily on output and new orders. S&P Global on Tuesday said the headline PMI declined to 47.7 in December from 49.0 in November, remaining below the 50-point mark that separates expansion from contraction and signalling a faster decline in private-sector activity. The index has now been in contraction territory throughout the final quarter of the year, with December’s reading the lowest in 11 months. According to S&P Global, the downturn was driven by a sharp fall in business activity, which contracted at its steepest…

Botswana’s long-standing growth model, anchored in diamond revenues and strong public institutions, is facing mounting strain, with deep-seated structural bottlenecks threatening the country’s medium-term growth prospects and efforts to diversify the economy, according to a new International Monetary Fund (IMF) analysis. In its recent Selected Issues Paper, "Addressing Growth Bottlenecks in Botswana", the IMF warned that while Botswana achieved exceptional economic and social progress after independence, economic momentum has weakened markedly over the past two decades. Growth has slowed, unemployment, particularly among the youth, has risen to persistently high levels, and fiscal and external buffers have eroded. The IMF said the situation has been exacerbated by a sharper-than-expected and likely prolonged decline in global diamond demand, which triggered a severe economic contraction in 2024. With fiscal space now constrained and…

Experts have raised alarm over the potential global economic and energy market consequences following reports that the United States launched a military operation in Venezuela over the weekend, resulting in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. Dr Sakhile Hadebe, a lecturer in Political Science and International Relations at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), on Tuesday said the reported US action represents a dangerous turning point in the global political economy, with implications far beyond Venezuela. “While framed in Washington as a targeted intervention, the ripple effects extend far beyond Caracas, particularly for an already fragile global economy,” Hadebe said. “The most immediate impact would be felt in energy markets. Venezuela holds some of the world’s largest proven oil reserves, yet years of sanctions and underinvestment have already constrained its output.”…

Award-winning artist Makhadzi has been discharged from hospital after a car accident that occured while she was travelling from Limpopo to Johannesburg late last month. The singer was involved in the accident on December 31, with her management company, Makhadzi Entertainment, confirming at the time that she had been admitted to hospital and was receiving medical care. In an emotional update shared with fans on social media, the artist confirmed that she has since been discharged and is now recovering at home under the care of her family. “I feel a need to update you about my health because of the love and support you have been showing me, not only in South Africa but across Africa globally,” she said. While grateful to be alive, the star revealed that her…

As schools reopen, 4 858 students in Gauteng are still without a spot, leaving thousands of children unplaced. The DA has demanded that all placements be finished prior to the start of the school year and that the Online Admissions System open by April. One parent told Newzroom Afrika that she registered her child in July but only received placement feedback in the first week of December 2025, with her child assigned to Northview School in Johannesburg, far from home. “My child won’t be able to go there. I can’t afford transportation, I can’t afford school fees, and I also need to take care of myself,” she said. She added that she had appealed at the district office, sent emails, and had been waiting for a response. She also tried…

While the Umalusi prepares to officially release the matric results across the country on Friday (January 9), the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) cautioned students against unregistered institutions. SAQA’s Acting Chief Executive Officer, Dr Makhapa Makhafola, reiterated that “while this period is one of hope, excitement and new beginnings, it is equally a time when learners and parents are most vulnerable to misinformation by unregistered institutions that seek to take advantage of the urgency to secure study opportunities. Makhafola urged all matriculants and parents to exercise caution and verify institutions and qualifications before making any application or registration payments. Matriculants are advised to be alert to red flags such as institutions not being able to prove registration with the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), offer qualifications that are…

A judge in the Bloemfontein High Court is in a legal battle to avoid prosecution after he allegedly misappropriated over R2 million intended for a client. The case is rooted in Mpina Mathebula’s previous work as an attorney practicing under the name Uys Mathebula Attorneys in Sasolburg. According to court documents, from July 2012 to May 2018, Mathebula was allegedly involved in the misappropriation of funds after helping a boy who was involved in a car accident. Mathebula’s services were requested by Dimakatso Makhethe, an elderly woman who wanted compensation from the Road Accident Fund (RAF) for her grandson. Following the claim, RAF paid out R2.2m into Mathebula’s law firm account in August 2013. In addition to the amount, RAF made another payment of more than R900 000 after the…

Around 25 000 travellers entering South Africa were processed by the Border Management Authority (BMA) at the busy Beitbridge border post on Monday. Speaking to Newzroom Afrika yesterday, BMA Commissioner Dr Michael Masiapato said the number of travellers being processed at the border could exceed the more than 400 000 people who exited the country during the festive season. “We started our operation from 1 January and we will continue until the 15th. This is what we describe as the return leg in as far as the implementation of our plan is concerned. In terms of the numbers in port, we are indeed doing the work in terms of processing the people. “Just in the past 24 hours, we have been able to do just around 25 000 individuals that…

European leaders have rallied behind Denmark after US President Donald Trump again floated the idea of acquiring Greenland and called the Arctic territory critical to US defence. “We do need Greenland defence and, absolutely,” Trump said in an interview with The Atlantic on Sunday. His comments came after American military action in Venezuela, heightening concerns in Europe that Greenland could be the next target of US intervention. The remarks drew swift condemnation from Greenland and Denmark. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the United States has no right to annex Greenland and urged Washington to stop making threats against a close ally. Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen called the US rhetoric “completely and utterly unacceptable”. Nordic leaders were among the first to respond. Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide told…

The US Department of Justice said on Monday it is still reviewing more than two million documents potentially related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as it pushed more than two weeks past a deadline to release all files connected to him. The department began releasing documents from the decades-long investigation into the late disgraced financier last month, but failed to meet the December 19 deadline mandated under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. In a letter Monday to a federal judge, DOJ officials said more than two million documents remained “in various phases of review”. About 12 285 documents comprising more than 125 000 pages, the letter said, had already been publicly released in response to the law – less than 1% of the tranche currently in review. The DOJ…

Former President Thabo Mbeki warned that we sometimes believe today is unchanging, forgetting that tomorrow brings difference. This gentle truth feels unsettling when reflected against South Africa’s present reality. South Africans are weary, yet increasingly hopeful. That is the layered truth as we enter 2026. Weary of unemployment figures that remain stubbornly high, hovering around 32%, with youth joblessness still exceeding 45%. Weary of crime that, despite recent declines in murders and some violent categories, continues to claim lives and erode our sense of security. Yet hopeful, because for much of 2025, loadshedding largely receded, a relief not seen in years, thanks to sustained improvements at Eskom and private energy investments. Hopeful, too, because the Government of National Unity (GNU), now in its second year, has delivered modest economic growth,…

THE Bulls are bracing for an onslaught from the in-form Bristol Bears’ dynamic and mobile forward pack, with skipper Ruan Nortje warning of the danger of tiring themselves out chasing shadows in Saturday’s Champions Cup clash at Loftus. “Bristol have unbelievable quality, so we will have to be much better with our finishing. They play a very expansive game, they run from everywhere on the field, and they’ve got very fit forwards who can almost operate as backs,” Nortje warned at an online media conference on Tuesday afternoon. “The altitude won’t be such a big factor for them because they’re such a mobile pack, so we have to be prepared for anything. It will be an unbelievably big challenge for us because they’re in a relatively good place. “They…

THIS season, Connor Esterhuizen has come into his own, scoring big runs across the formats and showing maturity while doing it. The 24-year-old has always been earmarked as one to watch for the future because of his explosive game in the shorter formats of the game. Last season, when he played a key role in MI Cape Town winning the third edition of the SA20, he lived up to those expectations, especially since he had the big shoes of Nicholas Pooran to fill as a first choice wicket-keeper batter. This season, the right-hander has taken his game up a notch, smashing big scores domestically for the Lions including a double century and a couple of centuries in the first-class cricket, showing his class and what he can achieve in the…

Business sentiment about construction activity among civil engineering contractors improved to a multi-year high in the fourth quarter of 2025, boosted also by much better profitability. The FNB/BER Civil Confidence Index gained nine points to reach 52 in the fourth quarter of 2025. The underlying data measuring construction activity and overall profitability improved noticeably. "The civil construction survey is the best non-official gauge for infrastructure investment. On that score, the survey results are quite positive. However, the spread of activity seems to be clustered in renewable energy generation and mining, which is not bad – or even surprising – but does suggest that key reforms in other areas of the economy are still lacking," said Siphamandla Mkhwanazi, senior economist at FNB. In terms of the short-term outlook for work, the…

Jubilee Metals Group, the JSE and London-listed company focused on mining copper in Zambia, said it has received $20 million so far from the sale of its South African chrome and platinum interests. Jubilee's board said in a statement Tuesday that following completion of the sale of its South African Chrome and PGM operations, the company had received a second cash instalment of $10m from Chrome One, the company that bought the operations from Jubilee. Jubilee's Tjate platinum PGM exploration project in South Africa is not included in the disposal and in time the board plans to consider how to unlock value from this resource. The payment follows the formal completion of the sale of the South African Chrome and PGM Operations to One Chrome last week. Following the disposal,…

Jill Scott is bringing the soul back to 2026 as she prepares to drop a new project that marks her official return to the neo-soul world. After what feels like an eternity of waiting, she took to Instagram to share the news fans have been waiting for: a full album is finally on the way. Titled To Whom This May Concern, the project is set to arrive next month. In her announcement, Scott kept it real and gracious, sharing that the album is finally dropping and thanking her fans for their patience and listening ears. As a teaser, she’s released the first single titled Beautiful People. The track has that signature blend of poetic storytelling and lush production that reminds us why she became such a massive force in music.…

Johannesburg Water has assured residents of Bezuidenhout Valley that there is no evidence of fecal contamination in the area’s tap water following complaints of a strong, unusual odour. The utility said recent tests showed no detection of E. coli at any sampling points, indicating that the system is clear of faecal pollution. The assurance follows renewed calls by civil society group WaterCan, which has urged municipalities across Gauteng to implement sustainable plans to protect the province’s water supply. Residents in parts of the Johannesburg CBD and Bezuidenhout Valley recently raised concerns about tap water emitting a strong, unusual smell. WaterCan communications manager Jonathan Erasmus welcomed Johannesburg Water’s decision to launch precautionary testing, stating that it was the correct immediate response, but warned that the situation once again highlights the broader…

The cost of enrolling a single Grade 8 learner in South Africa has climbed to R5 015.78, according to new analysis by Teneo Online School, raising concerns about affordability as the 2026 school year gets underway. All provinces return to class on Wednesday, January 14, following the continuation of the country’s unified school calendar. Teneo’s analysis shows that the prices of mandatory uniforms and stationery have increased by approximately 8% year on year, significantly exceeding the national inflation rate of 3.5%. This means the cost of physical school requirements is now rising 128% faster than the general cost of living, placing growing pressure on low-income households. Measured against wages, the impact is even more severe. Following the gazetting of the 2026 National Minimum Wage at R30.23 per hour, a parent…

The murder case of Warrick Robert Stock, popularly known as DJ Warras, was postponed to next week when it appeared before the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court yesterday. The accused, 44-year-old Victor Mthethwa Majola, made a brief appearance in court, where the matter was postponed to January 13 for a formal bail application. During proceedings, the magistrate inquired about Majola’s well-being while in custody and asked whether he had received medical treatment at the Johannesburg prison. Majola confirmed that he had been attended to, in telling the court that he saw a doctor on Monday. Majola claims to be injured and had requested medical attention during his previous appearance. Stock was shot and killed outside the Zambesi House building in Johannesburg’s CBD in December while working as a security contractor at the…

African National Congress (ANC) president Cyril Ramaphosa has strongly condemned the United States’ actions in Venezuela, saying South Africa “utterly rejects” Washington’s conduct and calls for immediate release of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. Speaking at the 31st annual Joe Slovo commemoration held at Avalon Cemetery in Soweto yesterday, Ramaphosa said South Africa demanded the immediate release of Maduro and his wife, following their detention by US forces. Joe Slovo, a former housing minister and commander of the ANC’s armed wing, Umkhonto weSizwe, died on January 6, 1995. Ramaphosa praised Slovo as an internationalist who fought not only for the liberation of South Africans, but for oppressed people across the continent and the world. “He did not only fight for the liberation of the people…

The divorce action between popular actress Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa and award-winning DJ Black Coffee is not yet over, as the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) will this year take another look at the matter. After more than six years of legal struggles, the couple’s customary marriage and antenuptial contract dispute will once again come under the judicial spotlight after Black Coffee obtained leave to appeal the matter. The Gauteng High Court, Johannesburg, said in light of the question of law of importance and general application, including the conflicting judgments on the subject matter, the SCA must now resolve the issues. Black Coffee is set on appealing part of the ruling issued in October last year, in which it was found that he and his wife had entered into a valid…

Bullying has existed for centuries, evolving from the term “bully,” which originally meant “sweetheart,” into something profoundly different today. Effectively addressing bullying remains an ongoing challenge. This article explores the complexity of bullying and proposes a child-led, research-based approach to developing sustainable and impactful anti-bullying programs. Efforts to combat bullying often fail for several reasons. One key issue is the reliance on imported strategies that lack relevance in local contexts. Generic, “one-size-fits-all” approaches often overlook the cultural, social, and educational nuances of specific communities, leading to limited success. Additionally, bullies are often skilled at concealing their actions, giving the impression of being “sweethearts” while secretly causing harm. This behaviour makes it difficult to identify and intervene effectively. Many anti-bullying initiatives also suffer from a lack of sustainability. Changes in staff,…

IT still hurts, and will probably do so for some time. But such is the nature of Bafana Bafana’s early elimination from AFCON that it could very well be a silver lining for clubs. Bafana exited the continental showpiece after losing 2–1 to Cameroon in the last 16 at Agdal Medina Stadium in Rabat on Sunday night. That defeat all but signalled how disappointing the South Africans had been since the start of the tournament. They failed to punish the Indomitable Lions in the first 20 minutes on three occasions, before ultimately conceding on the stroke of half-time and immediately after the restart - the fact that Evidence Makgopa scored two minutes before regulation time notwithstanding. Indications that they might struggle as the tournament progressed didn’t start there. They were…

BAFANA Bafana’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign came to an abrupt end in the round of 16, offering moments of promise alongside clear areas for growth. While Hugo Broos’ side showed resilience and flashes of quality against Africa’s elite, inconsistency across the pitch ultimately proved costly. As South Africa reflect on their early exit, some players emerged with credit, while others saw the tournament as a missed opportunity to make their mark. Here, we rate those who saw a decent amount of minutes on the field. Ronwen Williams – 5/10 Reliable on the goal line, the Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper could do little as six goals were conceded across the tournament, many through no fault of his own. More than just a shot-stopper, Williams played a key leadership role, helping marshal…

WE’RE at the halfway point of the English Premier League season and the only wobble coming from league leaders Arsenal is in the leftover jelly from one festive meal too many. While their rivals trip over banana skins of their own making, Arsenal have turned what is traditionally their most joyless stretch of the season into something that looks suspiciously like an early title parade. The open-topped buses haven’t been booked quite yet, but the champagne is definitely chilling somewhere in north London. January was once Arsenal’s bogey month, the graveyard of seasons when hope quietly slipped away. Now, it’s becoming their power play – a chance to grind away results and pull clear while everyone else looks for excuses. Six points clear, to be precise. They are quietly dismantling…

FORMER Proteas fast bowler Dale Steyn described is as “weird” and “strange” that fast bowler Ottneil Baartman did not make the ICC T20 World Cup squad, despite being the leading wicket-taker in the SA20. Baartman was a key player for South Africa in the previous edition of the ICC T20 World Cup, as he bowled a total of 19 overs in the five games he played, meaning it was only in one game that he didn’t go through his allotted four overs in a match. The right-arm quick returned an economy rate of 4.94 runs per over, an almost unheard of rate in the shortest format of the game. In the SA20, he is one of two bowlers that have crossed the 50 wickets mark, alongside Marco Jansen who has…
