Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero has blamed former mayor Herman Mashaba for some of the city’s ongoing financial and administrative challenges. Speaking before Parliament’s Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA), Morero argued that Mashaba’s anti-corruption approach created a culture of fear among municipal employees, particularly in the revenue department, contributing to declining revenue collection. ActionSA’s Alan Beesley criticised the city’s financial management, citing more than 500 Auditor-General findings in the 2024/25 audit. The exchange highlights escalating political tensions ahead of Johannesburg’s local government elections, where governance, accountability and service delivery are expected to dominate debate.

SANParks Advances Renewable Energy Plans for Kruger National Park in Major Green Transition Initiative SANParks CEO Hapiloe Sello has highlighted the urgent need to reduce both electricity costs and the carbon footprint at Kruger National Park during the handover of the first phase of a technical feasibility assessment for a renewable energy facility. The project, undertaken in partnership with Germany as part of the Just Energy Transition, marks a significant step towards sustainable energy solutions for South Africa’s flagship conservation area. The next phase will involve the appointment of an Independent Power Producer (IPP) to help develop the clean energy project. If successful, the initiative could be rolled out across other national parks managed by SANParks, strengthening environmental sustainability and energy security within the conservation sector.

BREAKING NEWS

The City of Tshwane council has resolved to insource another batch of 100 security officers as part of ongoing efforts to reduce security expenditure, which currently exceeds R3 billion.

The decision also follows complaints from security guards that the companies they are contracted to are exploitative, with unsafe working conditions linked to alleged non-compliance by service providers.

After successfully fending off attempts by the DA to block the resolution, leaders of the ANC-led coalition government in the city addressed protesting security officers outside the council chambers. @ThisKg

The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has increased interest rates by 25 basis points, citing rising inflation pressures linked to global geopolitical tensions and higher fuel costs. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted to raise the repo rate to 7.0%, with the prime lending rate now at 10.50%. Four members supported the increase, while two preferred to keep rates unchanged. The decision comes after renewed global oil price shocks following escalating conflict in the Middle East.

Rising fuel prices, up 11% in April, pushed South Africa’s headline inflation to 4.0%, near the upper limit of the Reserve Bank’s revised 3% target band. The SARB now expects inflation to average 4.4% in 2026 before easing towards its target in 2027, although risks remain tilted to the upside due to energy and food price pressures.

Despite the hike, Governor Lesetja Kganyago noted that the domestic economy shows signs of resilience, supported by improved trade conditions, reform momentum and a more positive outlook from rating agencies. #SARB #InterestRates #SouthAfricaEconomy #Inflation #RepoRate #MonetaryPolicy #LesetjaKganyago #BreakingNews #FuelPrices #GlobalEconomy

Fikile Mbalula says the African National Congress National Executive Committee (NEC) has resolved that no community in South Africa should be without access to water. Briefing media in Johannesburg, he stressed that improving water provision remains a key government priority amid ongoing service delivery challenges and ageing infrastructure.

Speaking on anti-undocumented immigration marches, Mbalula rejected claims that South Africans are xenophobic, saying while most citizens are not driven by hatred, there are individuals who gravitate towards intolerance. The remarks come amid growing public pressure over illegal immigration and municipal service delivery concerns across several provinces. @silver_sibiya @YOUFM898

Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi says government discussions with anti-immigration pressure groups at the Union Buildings were productive, amid ongoing demonstrations linked to illegal immigration across the country.

Kubayi said the engagement focused on addressing concerns raised by protest groups while reinforcing the importance of lawful conduct during demonstrations.

She stressed that while citizens have the constitutional right to protest, all actions must remain peaceful and comply with the law to avoid violence and instability.

The meeting formed part of a broader high-level security cluster intervention aimed at responding to growing tensions surrounding illegal immigration and concerns over possible xenophobic attacks. @ThisKg
