Breaking news Liam Jacobs Makes Swift Return to DA After Less Than a Year with Patriotic Alliance Liam Jacobs has made a swift return to the Democratic Alliance (DA) after less than a year with the Patriotic Alliance (PA). The 25-year-old former DA MP and one-time leader of the DA Student Organisation (DASO) defected to the PA in June 2025, announcing dramatically that he was "finally free" and "finally home" while criticising the DA. Today, 1 June 2026 almost exactly a year later, Jacobs is rejoining the DA as a consultant in Cape Town, a move reportedly championed by DA Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis and warmly welcomed by the Western Cape branch. The rapid U-turn has drawn mixed reactions, with some calling it political opportunism or "tourism" ahead of the 2026 local elections, while others see it as a pragmatic return to familiar ground.

Breaking news Mathipandile Sotheni's Bail Application Denied, Case Postponed to July Matipandile Sotheni, a former SAPS Special Task Force member, has been denied bail in the Brakpan Magistrate's Court. The magistrate cited a high risk of him evading trial, the strength of the State's case, and his lack of honesty about his personal circumstances. Additional concerns included witness killings that undermine the justice system, evidence tampering involving a firearm, and the broader interests of justice, which require him to remain in custody until his trial for the December 2025 murder of Marius van der Merwe ("Witness D") and related charges. The matter was postponed to 30 July 2026.
