Last update: 8 hours ago

South Africa Education Crunch: South Africa has 27,092 vacant teaching posts (as of June 30, 2026), with 2,654 “frozen” positions, worsening already high pupil-to-educator ratios. Public Media Funding: The SABC warns it may struggle to scale up Local Government Elections coverage without an extra R120m, citing costly multilingual and tech needs. Water Crisis & Accountability: A spotlight on the water tankering system follows a fatal incident, with calls for urgent reform after allegations of serious malpractices. Governance & Waste: Auditor-General figures put unauthorised/irregular/fruitless/wasteful spending at R1.377-trillion over five years, underlining compliance without delivery. Renewables in Action: South Africa expands renewable generation as wind projects enter operational phase, including a major Mpumalanga commissioning. AI & Cybersecurity: NordVPN reports top global benchmark results for speed and malware blocking, while South Africa faces ongoing cyber threats like stolen browser cookies. Health Impact: A Lancet study estimates vaccines saved 154 million lives over five decades, with major gains in the WHO African region. Research for Resilience: Five finalists compete for an African environmental science grant focused on moving from reaction to prediction.
