"title": "Stats SA: Over 3.7 million young South Africans remain locked out of jobs, education and training",
"body": "The latest Stats SA Quarterly Labour Force Survey shows that 35.7% of people aged 15 to 24 are unemployed, not studying, or receiving any training towards employment.\n\nThat translates to approximately 3.7 million young people who are disconnected from both the job market and opportunities to develop their skills.\n\nThe figure has increased by 1.8 percentage points compared with the same period last year.\n\nStats SA said the findings raise concerns about the long-term economic cost of youth disengagement, including lost productivity, a shrinking pipeline of skilled workers, and the risk that young people will struggle to enter the labour market.\n\nStatistician-general Risenga Maluleke said,\n\n\"When we look at age cohorts, we can see that young people, 15-24 years, have the highest unemployment rate, sitting at 63.6%, followed by those aged 25-34 years sitting at 41.4%, and of course, older age cohorts show lower unemployment rates compared to young people.\"",

"body": "Five men allegedly linked to gangs have been arrested following the shooting and wounding of a 76-year-old female teacher at a public swimming pool in Hanover Park on Monday (09 November 2026).\n\nPolice spokesperson Constable Ndakhe Gwala said Anti-Gang Unit members launched a manhunt and later spotted a black BMW carrying four occupants along Lansdowne Road. When officers approached, the vehicle sped off, leading to a high-speed chase.\n\nGwala said the suspects were eventually apprehended.\n\n\"They were apprehended and during a vehicle search, members seized a 9mm pistol with four rounds of ammunition, 71 ecstasy tablets and an undisclosed amount of cash. The four suspects, between the ages of 24 and 50, were arrested for possession of an unlicensed firearm, illegal possession of ammunition and dealing in drugs,\" she said.\n\nA fifth suspect, aged 26, was also arrested in connection with an attempted murder case registered in Philippi.\n\nAll five suspects are expected to appear in the Athlone Magistrate's Court on Wednesday, (11 November 2026).",

"body": "* The Nxamalala Detachment claims provincial leaders have put themselves forward for council seats despite failing to deliver good election results.\n\n* The group's chairperson confirmed the letter was intended for party leaders but declined to discuss the grievances while awaiting Zuma's response.\n\nMK Party volunteers in the Eastern Cape have appealed to party leader Jacob Zuma to intervene over proportional representation lists, saying council seats must not become a \"reward for failure\".\n\nIn a letter sent to the party's national leadership on Monday, the Nxamalala Detachment accuses the provincial leadership of seeking council positions after delivering what the group describes as embarrassing local government election results.\n\nAdvertisementThe letter, which Scrolla.Africa has seen, was written by detachment leaders Crosby Cakata, Ncumisa Mekane, Lumka Ndawo and chairperson Bulelwa Jack.\n\nThe group claims the party's provincial election machinery submitted lists that would allow its own leaders to take up council seats.\n\n\"How can the same machinery that was given a mammoth task to lead us into these Local Government Elections now reward itself with positions after delivering disgrace and embarrassment to this Province?\" the letter asks.\n\nAdvertisementThe volunteers argue that grassroots members kept the party's campaign going despite having fewer resources.\n\n\"They had the positions. They had the power. They had the office,\" the letter reads.\n\n\"We worked for free. We had no resources. And we still stood firm.\"\n\nThe group says the seats belong to the efforts of volunteers and loyal members who continued campaigning when, it alleges, provincial leaders had abandoned them.\n\n\"We cannot allow those seats to become a reward for failure,\" the letter states.\n\nApproached for comment, Jack questioned how Scrolla.Africa had obtained the letter and declined to discuss its contents while the group awaited Zuma's response.\n\n\"This letter is only directed to the leadership and we cannot talk about it in the media because we are still waiting for the response from our president Jacob Zuma,\" she said.\n\nAdvertisementThe detachment says it remains committed to building the party ahead of the 2029 national elections, with plans and programmes to grow support.\n\nBut it argues that the party cannot build towards 2029 without addressing what went wrong in 2026.\n\nMK Party spokesperson and deputy secretary-general Sfiso Mahlangu could not be reached for comment by publication. His phone went to voicemail, and he had not responded to questions sent via WhatsApp.",

"body": "Several delegates, observers and other participants were seen waiting in long queues to collect their accreditation badges on Monday, with some reporting that they had spent more than five hours completing the process\n\nThe opening day of the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Türkiye, was marked by accreditation delays and complaints over transportation arrangements, leaving some participants frustrated after spending several hours trying to access the conference venue.\n\nSeveral delegates, observers and other participants were seen waiting in long queues to collect their accreditation badges on Monday, with some reporting that they had spent more than five hours completing the process.\n\nThe situation was compounded by congestion around the venue and complaints about overcrowded shuttle buses conveying participants to the conference centre.\n\nThis reporter spent more than four hours waiting to collect an accreditation badge, while large crowds gathered around the entrance as participants struggled to navigate the queues.\n\nAt different points, some participants were seen expressing frustration and arguing as they waited for their badges, amid what appeared to be inadequate coordination of the accreditation process.\n\nThe transportation arrangements also attracted complaints, with some participants describing the shuttle buses as overcrowded and the journey to the venue as uncomfortable.\n\nSpeaking with PREMIUM TIMES, Leen Jones, an observer from Jordan, said she was exhausted after spending several hours waiting despite arriving early in the day.\n\nMs Jones expressed displeasure over the time spent waiting, describing the experience as frustrating.\n\nSimilarly, Corazon Kisilu, a climate change expert with the Global Strategic Communications Council (GSCC), said the long queues and transportation arrangements had made the first day difficult for participants.\n\nShe described the shuttle bus experience as particularly uncomfortable, saying participants were packed inside the vehicles \"like sardines\".\n\nMs Kisilu also raised concerns about traffic congestion along the route to the conference venue, noting that the transportation arrangements had added to the difficulties.\n\nShe said the experience was unusual compared with previous climate conferences she had attended and expressed hope that the organisers would improve the arrangements in the coming days.\n\nCOP31\n\nCOP31, which runs from 9 to 20 November, has brought together government representatives, climate negotiators, scientists, civil society organisations, businesses and other stakeholders to discuss responses to the global climate crisis.\n\nThe conference is expected to focus on translating climate commitments into practical action, with discussions covering climate finance, adaptation, energy transition, food security, agriculture, transport and resilient infrastructure.\n\nThe conference also provides an important platform for countries, particularly developing nations, to push for greater financial and technical support to address the effects of climate change.",

"title": "Namibia Dairies Invests N$54.5 M to Keep Long-Life Milk Flowing",
"body": "Namibia Dairies has invested approximately N$54.5 million in a new Tetra Pak A3 Flex filling line, replacing the previous filler that packed Namibia's only local long-life milk for more than 15 years.\n\nThe massive investment strengthens Namibia Dairies' ability to meet growing demand with world-class manufacturing technology.\n\nThis investment forms part of Namibia Dairies' ongoing commitment to modern food production and long-term supply security. The installation includes the A3 Flex filler, capable of running at up to 8 000 packs per hour, a new conveyor system, helix accumulator, cardboard packer, advanced cap application technology and supporting packaging and handling equipment.\n\nOL Group Executive Chairman, Sven Thieme recently visited the Namibia Dairies production facility to see the new line in operation.\n\n\"Investments of this scale reflect our confidence in our people, our products and the future of Namibian manufacturing. They demonstrate our commitment to maintaining world-class production standards, supporting local food production and ensuring Namibia Dairies remains a modern, competitive manufacturer for years to come. This is the type of technology you would expect to see in leading dairy operations anywhere in the world and it now runs in Namibia. We are investing today for the next generation of growth,\" said Thieme.\n\nThe filler is the core of the ultra-high temperature (UHT) production process, filling, sealing and packaging long-life milk and other ambient products under aseptic conditions. While fresh dairy products typically have a shelf life of six to eight weeks, products packed with a UHT production process remain shelf stable for six to nine months. Together with supporting infrastructure, the new line helps ensure consumers continue to have reliable access to long-life dairy products while maintaining the quality and food safety standards they expect.\n\nThe replacement forms part of a deliberate upgrade of ageing infrastructure. After more than 15 years of service, the previous filler required increasing maintenance, having had to rely on outdated technology and thus posing growing challenges when sourcing replacement parts and service support.\n\nThe new line improves reliability, reduces the risk of unplanned downtime and strengthens the foundation for future growth.\n\nPackaging waste is to decrease from around 4% to 1.5%, while redesigned packaging configurations and packaging materials sourced from South Africa reduce stockholding requirements and notably improve supply chain efficiency and cost.\n\nConsumers benefit from direct injection-moulded caps with tamper-proof ring-pull seals, replacing the previous glue-applied cap system, effectively pre-empting skewed or missing caps.\n\nThe investment additionally creates capacity for future innovation, including 500ml UHT formats and potential expansion into ambient juice categories, while providing a more reliable platform to process increasing milk volumes from Namibian and regional producers.",

Police said others had now done so.\n\n\"Several people have contacted the investigation team during and since the trial to provide information or report a potential criminal allegation,\" a police spokesperson said.\n\n\"Detectives are assessing this information as part of their ongoing enquiries.\"\n\nA former girlfriend of Brand, Jemima Goldsmith, wrote on X on Monday that she had called the police about him during an altercation at her house in 2014, but had not pressed any charges.\n\n\"I am glad and relieved that Russell Brand has finally faced justice,\" she said.\n\nBrand rose to prominence in Britain hosting a spin-off show to \"Big Brother\" on Channel 4.\n\nSeveral people have contacted the investigation team during and since the trial to provide information or report a potential criminal allegation.

"title": "African Union Trains Second Cohort of Women, Peace and Security Focal Persons to Monitor and Report on National Action Plans-African Union - Peace and Security Department",
"body": "The Office of the Special Envoy of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission on Women, Peace and Security (OSE-WPS) today opened the second cohort of its Basic Training Course on Monitoring and Reporting on National Action Plans (NAPs) on Women, Peace and Security using the AU Continental Results Framework (CRF).\n\nThe five-day course, running from 10 to 14 November 2026 in the Small Conference Room at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa, brings together about 40 National WPS Focal Persons, NAP coordinators and monitoring and reporting officers from AU Member States.\n\nTo date, 38 AU Member States have adopted National Action Plans on Women, Peace and Security. These plans are a keyway that Member States turn continental and global WPS commitments into national priorities and action.\n\nAdopting a plan is only the first step. Its impact depends on whether countries can track implementation, measure results, find gaps and use evidence to adjust policies and programmes.\n\nThe Continental Results Framework, established by the African Union Commission through the OSE-WPS, gives Member States, RECs, RMs and the Commission a common basis for monitoring and reporting on the WPS Agenda in Africa. So far, 20 Member States have reported using the CRF. The gap between the 38 countries with NAPs and the 20 reporting through the Framework shows why continued capacity-building is needed.\n\nThe second cohort builds on the first and widens the pool of national and regional experts who can apply the CRF in their own institutions.\n\nThe opening ceremony featured welcome remarks by Dr Sally Wangamati, Acting Office Coordinator and Women, Peace and Security Programme Specialist at the OSE-WPS, followed by remarks from Ms Doris Mpomou (AU and UNECA), Ms Natascha Skjaldgaard of the Embassy of Denmark, and opening remarks by Ms Nadia Roguiai of the AU Political Affairs, Peace and Security Department (PAPS) Gender, Peace and Security Programme.\n\nOver five days, participants will cover gender concepts, the WPS Agenda and its four pillars, the role and features of National Action Plans, and the structure and indicators of the CRF. They will also look at data collection, verification and reporting. The course is practical: participants work with their own national plans, map NAP indicators against the CRF, and practice reporting on the CRF digital reporting platform.\n\nSessions are led by OSE-WPS staff and technical experts, including Dr Remember Miamingi, Dr Ajayi Olumide, Ms Agnes Afi Agbevadi, Ms Monica Musyoni, Ms Josiane Darwatoye, Mr Cartwritte Wambua and Mr Walter Maina.\n\nSpeaking on behalf of H.E. Ambassador Liberata Mulamula, Special Envoy of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission on WPS, Dr Sally Wangamati commended Member States' and Training Centres of Excellence' commitments to strengthen national systems for monitoring and reporting on the implementation of National Action Plans.\n\n\"A National Action Plan that cannot be measured is a statement of good intentions. A plan that is monitored and reported becomes a tool for change. This week, we are equipping the people who turn Africa's commitments to women into results that can be seen, counted and acted upon,\" Dr Wangamati.\n\nRepresenting the Embassy of Denmark, Ms Natascha Skjaldgaard noted Denmark's continued commitment and partnership with the African Union to advance the WPS Agenda.\n\n\"The effectiveness of National Action Plans depends not only on their development and adoption, but also on the ability of Member States to monitor implementation, measure results, identify gaps and report progress.\" Ms Skjaldgaard\n\nAs part of the Plan International Girls Take Over Initiative, Youth Advisory Panel member Ms. Amen Biniyam delivered remarks in place of Ms. Doris Mpomou (AU and UNECA). She emphasized the significance of the Continental Results Framework, urging the need to look beyond mere statistics and consider the real-life experiences of women and girls.\n\n\"Let us also remember that data is not just about numbers. Behind every indicator is a woman seeking safety, a girl striving for opportunity, a community rebuilding after conflict, and a future shaped by our collective actions today.\" Ms. Biniyam\n\nOpening the training on behalf of the African Union Commission, Ms Nadia Roguiai, Coordinator of Gender, Peace and Security Programme, highlighted monitoring and reporting on NAPs as a collective responsibility. She noted the collaboration between sister AU offices, stressing that the Continental Results Framework falls under the purview of the entire Commission, not just one office.\n\n\"The Women, Peace and Security Agenda is a central area of peace and security affairs, not a secondary issue. Gender and women's participation are integral components of Conflict prevention, mediation, the conduct of peace support operations, and post-conflict reconstruction.\" Ms Roguiai\n\nIn her remarks, Ms Monica Musyoni, Lead facilitator for the training, encouraged experience-sharing and exchange, stating, \"each of you brings valuable experiences, institutional knowledge, lessons learned and perspectives from your respective countries and organisations\".\n\nBy the end of the course, participants are expected to:\n\n* understand the WPS Agenda, its four pillars and the role of National Action Plans in putting it into practice;\n\n* be familiar with the structure, indicators and reporting requirements of the CRF;\n\n* understand the basics of collecting data for CRF reporting; and\n\n* have hands-on experience using the CRF digital reporting tool.\n\nThe training is convened by the OSE-WPS in collaboration with relevant African Union departments, RECs, RMs and technical and development partners. It will close on Saturday, 14 November 2026, with a course evaluation and a closing ceremony. A training report on lessons learned, recommendations and agreed follow-up actions will guide the Office's continued technical support to Member States.\n\nFor more information: Office of the Special Envoy on Women, Peace and Security",

"title": "Alexander Zverev sends blunt message to those questioning his Grand Slam success",
"body": "Alexander Zverev is a tennis player who has often faced criticism and doubts, despite enjoying a brilliant season this year.\n\nMany believe that his success has been helped by the absence of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz from some of the biggest tournaments. Despite all the criticism, the 29-year-old German continues to have big ambitions and remains determined to win more major titles.\n\nAlexander Zverev has delivered a clear response to those questioning the value of his two Grand Slam titles, insisting that he cannot be blamed for not facing Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz during his successful runs at Roland Garros and the US Open.\n\nThe 29-year-old German has enjoyed the best season of his career, winning his first two Grand Slam titles and becoming world No. 1 for the first time. However, some tennis fans have questioned whether his achievements would have been possible if his two biggest rivals had been available throughout both tournaments.\n\nZverev addressed those comments in a recent interview ahead of the ATP Finals in Turin, explaining that he has no control over which players reach the later stages of tournaments.\n\nThe German pointed to Sinner's physical problems at Roland Garros and Alcaraz's defeat against Ben Shelton at the US Open as examples of circumstances that were completely outside his control.\n\nHe also reminded his critics that he defeated Shelton in the US Open final, despite the American having previously eliminated Alcaraz from the competition.\n\nThe world No. 1 believes that winning matches against the opponents in front of him is the only thing he can do, regardless of how other players perform.\n\nHis comments arrived after months of questions about his achievements, particularly because Sinner and Alcaraz had dominated the biggest tournaments during the previous seasons.\n\nZverev responds to criticism over Sinner and Alcaraz\n\nWhen asked about people questioning his two Grand Slam victories, Zverev made it clear that he does not believe such criticism is fair.\n\nThe German explained that he would have been happy to face both players but could not be responsible for their problems and defeats.\n\n\"I can face and try to beat whoever I find on the other side of the net,\" Zverev said.\n\nHe then mentioned the circumstances surrounding the elimination of his two biggest rivals, noting that he had eventually defeated the player responsible for Alcaraz's US Open exit.\n\nZverev said Sinner's heatstroke in Paris and Shelton's victory over Alcaraz in New York were not matters he could influence.\n\nHe finished his response by expressing hope that he would have more opportunities to compete against the two players in the coming seasons.\n\n\"What else can I do?\" the German asked.\n\nZverev's first Grand Slam title arrived at Roland Garros in June, when he defeated Flavio Cobolli in a five-set final. It was a particularly emotional victory because he had previously experienced some of the most difficult moments of his career in Paris.\n\nIn 2022, he suffered a serious ankle injury during his semifinal against Rafael Nadal, an incident that kept him away from competitive tennis for several months.\n\nHe also lost the 2024 French Open final against Alcaraz, despite having a two-sets-to-one advantage.\n\nBefore finally winning in Paris, Zverev had lost three Grand Slam finals, including the 2020 US Open final against Dominic Thiem and the 2025 Australian Open final against Sinner.\n\nHis second Grand Slam trophy arrived at the US Open in September, making 2026 the most successful season of his career at the biggest tournaments.\n\nZverev believes he has little left to prove ahead of ATP Finals\n\nBesides defending his Grand Slam achievements, Zverev also spoke about becoming world No. 1 and his expectations for the upcoming ATP Finals.\n\nThe German officially reached the top of the ATP rankings on November 2, becoming only the second German man after Boris Becker to achieve that position.\n\nHe admitted that reaching the top ranking was particularly satisfying because of the many difficult moments he had experienced during his career.\n\nAccording to Zverev, becoming the world's best-ranked player means something different from winning a Grand Slam because it reflects performances over a longer period rather than success at one tournament.\n\nHe also believes his results throughout 2026 have shown that he can compete consistently at the highest level.\n\nWhen asked about being considered the favorite for the ATP Finals, Zverev welcomed the expectations and indicated that he no longer feels the same pressure to prove himself.\n\nThe German has already won the season-ending tournament twice, in 2018 and 2021, and will have the opportunity to claim his third title in Turin between November 15 and 22.\n\nMeanwhile, Sinner is continuing his recovery from a knee injury that has kept him away from competition since July. Zverev believes the Italian will quickly return to his previous level once he is healthy enough to compete again.\n\nThe two-time Grand Slam champion also expressed his desire to face Sinner again, explaining that a player of his quality does not suddenly forget how to play tennis after spending several months away.\n\nFans will closely follow his progress, while Alexander Zverev will continue trying to prove that he can win the biggest tournaments even when Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are competing.",
