We’ve got the latest news stories and headlines in South Africa on Friday, 26 August.
More COLD weather is expected in several parts of SA on Thursday. This comes as a cold front made landfall early on Thursday.
According to VoxWeather, the cold front made landfall in the Western Cape early on Thursday morning.
The EFF secured a significant victory over AfriForum in the Equality Court on Thursday. Facing a lawsuit for hate speech, the Red Berets have been accused of ‘inciting farm attacks’ by singing the highly controversial Kill The Boer struggle song at various rallies.
At the ripe old age of 73, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma has certainly been around the block a few times. As one of the ANC’s most senior politicians, her leadership credentials outshine most – but could she end up dethroning Cyril Ramaphosa as president later this year?
At least one person has died and another has been critically injured following a ghastly crash in Mpumalanga. A tanker carrying sulphuric acid smashed head-first into an oncoming BMW, as both vehicles made their way down the respective carriageways.
Lastly, the Traffic Service in the City of Cape Town has confirmed that five vehicles; four Golden Arrow buses and one City truck were set alight in the Nyanga area on Thursday morning.

It seems there is some momentum behind NDZ, in the run-up to the ANC Elective Conference in December. Campaign posters have been popping up online, emblazoned with catchy slogans and unique hashtags. The #NDZ22 vehicle has already slotted itself into first gear.
The EFF has secured a significant victory over AfriForum in the Equality Court on Thursday. Facing a lawsuit for hate speech, the Red Berets have been accused of ‘inciting farm attacks’ by singing the highly controversial Kill The Boer struggle song at various rallies.
However, Judge Molahleli was unmoved by AfriForum’s case. The top magistrate told the court in Johannesburg that the prosecution had failed to provide any meaningful evidence that could link the song to any brutal crimes committed on South Africa’s farmsteads in recent years.
The Traffic Service in the City of Cape Town has confirmed that five vehicles; four Golden Arrow buses and one City truck were set alight in the Nyanga area on Thursday morning.
All Services are reportedly on scene, and the City’s Fire and Rescue Service has extinguished all the burning vehicles.
Kevin Jacobs from Cape Town Traffic Services said there are reports that some passengers were injured in one of the attacks, but SAPS or EMS are yet to confirm that.
At least one person has died and another has been critically injured, following a ghastly crash in Mpumalanga. A tanker carrying sulphuric acid smashed head-first into an oncoming BMW, as both vehicles made their way down the respective carriageways.
The morning smash occurred on the N11 near Kranspoort. This pass connects northern Mpumalanga to southern Limpopo, and serves as a key route between the two provinces. However, the highway was closed in its entirety on Thursday – for hours on end.
