A Pikitup employee, Sindiswa Njilana, has said that some undocumented foreign nationals allegedly show disregard for municipal workers by continuing to litter while street-cleaning teams are carrying out their duties. She stated that ongoing littering makes it more challenging for sanitation teams to maintain clean streets and undermines broader efforts to improve cleanliness and service delivery in local communities. The comments were made in the context of ongoing discussions around waste management, community cleanliness, and service delivery in Johannesburg and Soweto.

NPA spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago says the refusal by the three accused to unlock their personal cellphones seized by police could delay proceedings in the high-profile Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court case. The accused — Gauteng Hawks head Ebrahim Kadwa, Durban security company owner Tarig Downes, and Crime Intelligence Major-General Feroz Khan — are facing charges linked to the alleged unlawful possession of gold and illicit precious metals transactions connected to a 2021 incident at OR Tambo International Airport. Investigators are reportedly seeking access to the devices as part of ongoing corruption and criminal investigations. The matter continues to attract national attention due to the involvement of senior law enforcement officials and allegations of political interference raised during the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

SAFTU General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi has criticised recent anti-immigration protests, describing them as a diversion from South Africa’s deeper socio-economic challenges. Vavi argued that the focus on immigration distracts from what he called systemic issues, including economic mismanagement, high unemployment, and what he described as deliberate de-industrialisation of the economy. He acknowledged that some foreign nationals are involved in criminal activity, but stressed that this should not be used to stereotype or criminalise all migrants. Vavi further accused political actors of exploiting immigration concerns for opportunistic gain, warning that such rhetoric fuels division and unrest. He also raised concern that migrants of African descent are being disproportionately targeted, describing this as a troubling development that risks deepening social tensions. His comments come amid ongoing protests and heightened debate over immigration policy and socio-economic conditions in South Africa.
