Today marks 14 years since the police shot and killed 34 striking Lonmin mineworkers demanding a R12,500 monthly wage. Every year on 16 August, survivors and families of the victims of the Marikana Massacre relive that tragic day. Unions continue to push for formal state apologies. The President of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union, Joseph Mathunjwa, will address today's commemoration. @RefiloeSeboko has more.

Apparently South African TikTok content creators are boycotting the app for not paying our content creators and they’re saying we must delete the app on the 1st of September. South Africans are not having it in the comments and rightfully so😭👍 I mean they only want our support when it benefits them
30 YEARS IN THE MAKING. 🇿🇦
Tumi Ramokgopa has just written herself into African athletics history, becoming the first African woman since Nigeria’s Glory Alozie in 1996 to win a World U20 medal in the 100m hurdles.
Ramokgopa clocked a brilliant 12.96s in Eugene to take silver, three decades after Alozie also finished second at the World Junior Championships.

@Anunakin The problem is they didn't ask him to be rated. He went up to them and asked to be rated. He also added that he was drunk. He could've taken his rating and fokof'd not insult strangers at a work event.
Cape Town cryptocurrency traders who don’t have legal documents to be in the country were able to purchase an R2.5m car cash. They can't explain where they got the money. The dealership will now have to account for how they sold and registered it. This story has the potential to implicate multiple departments.
In Cape Town you will often find “crypto” and “forex” traders driving fancy cars with fake registrations or none at all! 🚨
Tonight we impounded cars in Parklands without valid registrations ✅ In one case, a brand new silver Merc GLE was registered as a white BMW. Impounded for further criminal investigation.
South Africa needs stronger policing, that’s why we will build a Cape Town Metro Police Detectives Unit to investigate crimes ourselves.
