Stay informed in just a few minutes with News Bite, your fast, reliable update on South Africa and the world. In today’s episode, President Cyril Ramaphosa has ordered the SAPS to establish a special task team following the release of the Madlanga Commission interim report. The President says he accepts the commission’s recommendations, including the need to investigate individuals identified in the report. This comes as KZN Hawks boss Lesetja Senona continued his testimony at the Madlanga Commission, raising concerns about how he has been treated by the commission’s legal team. Tragedy struck KwaZulu-Natal, where at least 11 people were killed in a crash between a taxi and a truck on the R102 near Lotus Park in Durban. Several others were seriously injured and rushed to hospitals across the city, with at least one school child believed to be among the deceased. The truck driver survived and has been taken to a place of safety as investigations continue. In Johannesburg, Joburg mayor Dada Morero is facing yet another motion of no confidence, this time brought by Al Jama-ah and backed by the Minority Governing Party. It is the third such motion since Morero took office in August 2024. While the ANC has rejected the attempt, pressure is reportedly growing within the party following Morero’s failure to secure the regional chairmanship. Service delivery frustrations also boiled over in the city after trucks were set alight at the Diepsloot Pikitup depot, disrupting refuse collection. The City of Johannesburg says an agreement has since been reached with protesting casual workers to allow operations to resume.
