"body": "Saota is marking four decades of architectural practice with Shaped by Place: 40 Years of Architectural Practice, an exhibition exploring the ideas and processes behind its work.\n\nOpening at Brundyn Arts & Culture in Cape Town on Thursday, 1 October 2026, the exhibition brings together models, large-scale imagery and curated narratives spanning 40 years of design.\n\nRather than a conventional retrospective, it examines how place, collaboration, research and changing contexts have shaped Saota's approach to architecture, offering insight into the design culture and thinking behind the buildings that have defined the practice.\n\nThe Cape Town presentation follows Saota40 exhibitions in Shenzhen and Chengdu earlier this year. Saota also designed a stand at this year's Salone del Mobile in Milan, becoming the first South African practice to do so.\n\nIdeas beyond architecture\n\nThe exhibition coincides with the pre-sale launch of [Shaped by Place], Saota's new monograph, from which the exhibition takes its name. Through projects, essays by leading industry voices and personal reflections, the publication documents the principles and philosophies that have informed the practice and extends the exhibition's argument beyond the gallery.\n\nOpen to the public throughout October, the exhibition is accompanied by a programme of talks bringing together Saota principals and invited guests. The programme will include conversations on the making of the monograph, on architecture and social impact, and on artificial intelligence in design practice. The full programme of speakers and dates will be announced on Saota's social media over the coming weeks.\n\nThe Cape Town exhibition builds on an established relationship between Saota and Poliform, bringing together two design-led organisations with a shared commitment to quality, craft, and innovation.",

"body": "The Sibasa Regional Court delivers justice in a decade-old gender-based violence case, with Limpopo police leadership commending the thorough and persistent investigation.\n\nLIMPOPO -- A 23-year-old man, Asiashu David Mlangeni, has been sentenced to life imprisonment by the Sibasa Regional Court for the rape and kidnapping of a 32-year-old woman more than a decade ago, marking a definitive resolution to a long-pending criminal case.\n\nIn addition to the life sentence for the rape conviction, Mlangeni was handed an additional five years' imprisonment for the kidnapping charge. The successful prosecution and sentencing follow a meticulous and comprehensive investigation led by Sergeant Khathutshelo Dorris Vele of the Thohoyandou Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit.\n\nLieutenant General Jan Scheepers, Provincial Commissioner of Limpopo, publicly welcomed the court's decisive ruling. He commended Sergeant Vele and all law enforcement personnel involved for their unwavering dedication and perseverance in pursuing justice for the victim. Lieutenant General Scheepers emphasized that the considerable time elapsed since the offences were committed did not diminish the police's commitment to holding the perpetrator accountable and delivering closure to the survivor.\n\nThis sentencing underscores the ongoing efforts within the regional justice system to address historical gender-based violence cases and reinforce the message that perpetrators will be pursued regardless of the passage of time.",

"title": "Judgment reserved in Ramaphosa's bid to overturn Phala Phala report",
"body": "Judgment has been reserved in President Cyril Ramaphosa's bid to overturn the Section 89 panel report on the Phala Phala scandal.\n\nThe Western Cape High Court heard final arguments on Friday, the third and final day of the case before a full bench comprising Judge President Nolwazi Mabindla-Boqwana, Judge Mark Sher and Judge Ncumisa Mayosi.\n\nNine respondents are cited in Ramaphosa's application, among them retired chief justice Sandile Ngcobo, who chaired the panel.\n\nThe panel found in November 2022 that Ramaphosa had a case to answer on four proposed impeachment charges arising from the theft of about US$580,000 from his Phala Phala game farm in Limpopo in February 2020.\n\nIf the report stands, the National Assembly can continue with the impeachment inquiry against Ramaphosa, raising the prospect of him being removed from office.\n\nAdvocate Dali Mpofu SC, appearing for the MK Party, told the court that Ramaphosa's review application was the opening move in an attempt to delay the impeachment process indefinitely.\n\nMpofu, who continued his argument from Thursday, said the Constitutional Court had foreseen that the report would be tied up in litigation, which is why it ordered in May that the report go directly to Parliament's impeachment committee.\n\n\"The only reason we are here is to do that, and the Constitutional Court put an end to it,\" Mpofu said.\n\n\"Do not undo the good work of the Constitutional Court.\n\n\"Let the president go and answer to the people of SA.\"\n\nHe said the removal process has 17 steps, and a ruling in Ramaphosa's favour would allow each step to be challenged separately in court.\n\n\"We have a situation where we are going to be here 17 times if we allow this to happen now,\" he said.\n\n\"Every time there is a step, they are going to review, and then we come here and then we fight about that, and then it goes [on like that] for another five years.\"\n\nMpofu said if Ramaphosa's review succeeded, the questions the country wanted answered would remain unanswered.\n\n\"The one thing that will not happen is for the president to answer, where did the dollars come from? Who sent Rhoode to Namibia, to no man's land?\" he said.\n\nMajor-General Wally Rhoode was head of the Presidential Protection Unit when the theft happened.\n\nRamaphosa reported the burglary to him rather than to the police, and Rhoode later travelled to Namibia in an effort to trace the money.\n\nTwo of the four charges against Ramaphosa concerned the instruction he had given Rhoode. His advocate, Wim Trengove SC, told the court there was no evidence linking the president to how Rhoode had conducted the investigation.\n\nMpofu said: \"Is there a case to answer? Of course. Is the president guilty? I don't know.\n\n\"But is there a case to answer? Anybody who wants to come here and speak big English to say there is no case to answer under those circumstances is really playing games with the people of this country.\"\n\nHe said the panel had never found Ramaphosa guilty of anything.\n\n\"The panel has simply said on these facts before us, given the limitations of our mandate, given all these things, there is a case to answer,\" Mpofu said.\n\n\"What is wrong with that? How can that be irrational in anybody's language?\"\n\nMpofu again argued that the Western Cape High Court had no jurisdiction to hear the matter because a complaint that the National Assembly had failed to fulfil a constitutional obligation could be decided only by the Constitutional Court.\n\nHe abandoned two of the MK Party's preliminary objections during argument, telling the court he was dropping the non-joinder point and a further objection to focus the bench on the effect of the Constitutional Court's May judgment.\n\nThe May judgment set aside the National Assembly's December 2022 vote against acting on the panel report, reviving a case that had been dead for more than three years.\n\nJudges press Mpofu\n\nMabindla-Boqwana pressed Mpofu on the panel's own account of its limitations, pointing to a passage in which it said it had not been given all the available information and that people with first-hand knowledge had not come forward.\n\n\"If the panel itself feels that they don't have enough information, how do you then go to finding that they have actually exercised their duty and established that there's sufficient evidence?\" she asked.\n\nMpofu said the constraints were Parliament's doing and not the panel's.\n\n\"It was a legitimate concern. But that is by design,\" he said.\n\n\"How do you expect a shackled panel, which you only give 30 days, and then you shackle it, to give you an outcome of a particular quality? That's not your problem. It's a problem of Parliament.\"\n\nSher put it to Mpofu that the Constitutional Court's order left Ramaphosa with no way out of an impeachment hearing unless the report is set aside.\n\n\"It has binding effect on the president. It has binding effect on Parliament. It has binding effect on everyone,\" Sher said.\n\n\"If the panel finds there's sufficient evidence, there must be an impeachment committee hearing. Am I wrong?\"\n\nMpofu said he was correct, but the rules also allowed a matter to proceed to the impeachment committee even where the panel found insufficient evidence, meaning the report could not be final in its effect.\n\n'No wrongdoing found'\n\nReplying for Ramaphosa, Trengove said the argument that the country was entitled to a full public airing of the Phala Phala matter ignored the investigations that had already taken place.\n\nHe said the matter had been investigated by SARS, the Reserve Bank, the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence and the NPA.\n\n\"And all of them have acquitted the president of any wrongdoing,\" Trengove said.\n\nHe rejected the argument that the court would be interfering in the business of the National Assembly.\n\n\"We are here to police legality,\" he said.\n\n\"That is, to hold the National Assembly to those rules.\n\n\"We are not seeking to interfere with the rules of the National Assembly.\n\n\"We are seeking merely to hold it and the panel of experts to the rules made by the Assembly.\"\n\nTrengove said the Constitutional Court had never pronounced on whether the panel report was lawful.\n\nHe said it had amended the rule under which the report was made, applied the new rule to the report and sent it to the impeachment committee, and had said in terms that it goes there unless and until it is set aside on review.\n\nMabindla-Boqwana asked him whether the panel had in fact found that sufficient evidence existed.\n\n\"The panel did find that there was sufficient evidence,\" Trengove said.\n\n\"But that was because it interpreted the requirement of sufficient evidence to mean prima facie evidence.\"\n\nHe said the panel's first error was to give the wrong meaning to sufficient evidence, and its second was never to ask whether Ramaphosa had acted in bad faith.\n\nMayosi put it to him that the panel had in fact weighed the incriminating material against the president's version, whatever label it used.\n\n\"They recited lots of evidence in their report,\" Trengove said.\n\n\"But when they came to assess the four charges, they applied a prima facie evidence test to it. They didn't there weigh up for and against and come to a conclusion on a balance.\"\n\nHe said the lawyers on the panel knew exactly what the phrase meant.\n\n\"It would be an insult to the lawyers on that panel to suggest they didn't know what prima facie meant,\" he said.\n\n\"And it means a case built on evidence which, if true, would disclose an offence. It disregards exculpatory evidence.\"\n\nOn the statement by former State Security Agency boss Arthur Fraser that triggered the process, Trengove said it should have been dismissed or given little, if any, weight.\n\nIn June 2022, Fraser laid a criminal complaint with police alleging that millions of dollars had been stolen from Phala Phala and that Ramaphosa had covered up the theft.\n\nATM leader Vuyolwethu Zungula on those allegations when he moved for the president's impeachment, and the panel worked off Fraser's statement and the documents attached to it.\n\n\"If a man says to you, this is what happened, but I wasn't there and I won't tell you where I got this information, then I don't know that you can classify that as evidence at all,\" Trengove said.\n\n\"It is just the say-so of a witness.\"\n\nTrengove said the panel had also breached the president's right to answer the case against him by ranging beyond the four charges.\n\n\"It would be a fundamental breach of the audi alteram partem principle to find him responsible on other accusations other than the four charges,\" he said.\n\nHe dismissed the ATM's argument, made on Thursday, that the cash concealed in a couch at the farm was evidence that Ramaphosa had been paid for outside work.\n\n\"The cash on the couch had absolutely nothing to do with this charge,\" Trengove said.\n\n\"Nobody ever suggested that that was the payment for work he had done. So it is an inappropriate attempt to tie it to this charge because that was never suggested to the president.\"\n\nParliament's impeachment committee has been barred from holding public hearings since July and cannot commence its work until the review is decided.\n\nRamaphosa has consistently denied wrongdoing, saying the foreign currency was proceeds from the sale of game.",

"title": "Kenya's president orders Indian company Tata Chemicals to leave the country",
"body": "Kenya's President William Ruto on Friday directed Tata Chemicals to leave the country, saying the Indian company failed to generate any economic impact in one of Kenya's most important export sectors.\n\nTata Chemicals produces soda ash from Lake Magadi that is used in the manufacture of glass, soaps and detergents. Kenya's exports of soda ash came to 254,779 tons, valued at $56.9m (R907m), in the year to July 2025, according to government data.\n\nThe company should \"pack and leave\" in place of a new investor, Ruto said at a public rally on Thursday.\n\nTata Chemicals Magadi Limited has been in Kenya since 2005. Its operations were suspended by Kenya's ministry of mining in July, pending a \"compliance review\".\n\nThe company's departure from Kenya could lead to job losses and significant loss of revenue.\n\nRuto said while soda ash from Lake Magadi was capable of changing Kenya for the better, the Indian company had \"not built anything in Kajiado\", the county where the lake is located. \"They have not built any factory or employed people,\" he said.\n\n\"I told them to pack and leave. They have been taking our resources and shipping them to India. We will bring a new company and the condition set is they must build a glass factory here,\" the Kenyan leader added.\n\nTata Chemicals Magadi Limited said in a communication to the National Stock Exchange of India on Friday that it is \"fully compliant\" in Kenya and is awaiting communication from the Kenyan government regarding a review of its operations.\n\nThe company did not say whether it had officially received orders to leave Kenya, but said it remained \"committed to constructive engagement\".\n\nSoda ash is produced from trona, a naturally occurring sodium carbonate mineral extracted from Lake Magadi. Large-scale commercial production of soda ash in the area started in 1911.",

The charges include fraud, corruption, and forgery. Magistrate Nicca Setshogoe denied his bail application, a decision that sent shockwaves through Mzansi, particularly given the couple's high public profile following their reality TV appearances.\n\nThis was not Viljoen's first knock-back in court. His bail had also been refused in August, keeping him in custody as the case unfolds.\n\nMel Viljoen in the Gallery\n\nHis wife, Mel Viljoen, was seated in the public gallery on the day, there to support her husband through the proceedings. The couple had previously made headlines when a separate clip emerged showing Mel visibly emotional and in tears inside a Pretoria courtroom as the magistrate delivered her ruling on the bail application.\n\nWatch the courtroom footage of Peet Viljoen's court appearance here.\n\nMzansi had plenty to say about the latest developments. Below are some of the reactions from the comments section:\n\n@irishtraveller: \"Peet en Mel Miljoen net sonder die Miljoen\"\n\n@proppie: \"do the crime do the time het nie simpatiek met hulle nie\"\n\n@P.M. Coetzee: \"hulle moes nie die lekkergoed in daai winkel in die VSA gesteel het nie.\"\n\n@user2318774826295: \"waar is al sy ryk amerikaanse vriende en Donald Trump😂\"\n\n@Carolien Binneman: \"alles kom uit een of ander tyd\"\n\n@johan_hughes: \"Team Viljoen!!!!👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻\"\n\n@🎶🎧♦️- LANDMAN-BEATZ-♠️🎧🎶: \"nee kou mooier alles is joune\"",

"body": "* The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) fined former Miss South Africa Tatum Keshwar-Wheatley R3 million over alleged share price manipulation\n\n* Keshwar-Wheatley, her husband Warren, and a former investment officer each received matching 20-year debarment orders\n\n* Africa Bitcoin Corporation terminated her consulting services and placed her husband on precautionary leave following the ruling, news that has had social media buzzing\n\nFormer Miss South Africa Tatum Keshwar-Wheatley is facing serious financial and professional consequences after the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) handed her a R3 million fine and a 20-year ban from the financial services industry. The regulatory body found she played a central role in artificially inflating a listed company's share price.\n\nThe FSCA determined that Keshwar-Wheatley, who wore the Miss SA crown in 2008, coordinated with her husband Warren Gregory Wheatley, the former CEO of Altvest, and former Chief Investment Officer Akshay Suresh Karan to manipulate Altvest's share price in September 2022. According to the authority, the group executed trades designed to create a false impression of strong market demand on the Cape Town Stock Exchange, in violation of the Financial Markets Act.\n\nKeshwar-Wheatley carried out the trades through her firm, Tatum Keshwar Investments, which was penalised alongside her personally. Her husband Warren and his entity WGW Capital received a combined R5 million fine, while Karan faced a separate R2 million penalty. All three individuals were issued identical 20-year debarment orders, prohibiting them from serving as key officers or providing any services to financial institutions.\n\nThe Citizen reports that the trio has signalled their intention to appeal the penalties to the Financial Services Tribunal, and the FSCA's action remains subject to that process.\n\nAfrica Bitcoin Corporation acts swiftly\n\nThe fallout extended beyond regulatory circles. Africa Bitcoin Corporation moved quickly in response to the ruling, placing Wheatley and Karan on precautionary leave while terminating Keshwar-Wheatley's consulting arrangement with the company effective 31 August 2026.\n\nStafford Masie stepped into the role of interim CEO as the board conducts its review of the matter. The company was careful to note that the suspensions are non-disciplinary in nature, pending the outcome of the appeal.\n\nSocial media weighs in\n\nOnline users expressed both shock and disappointment at the former Miss South Africa's crimes.\n\nreal_sinesipho was shocked:\n\n\"I remember when she was our Miss SA. A whole Miss South Africa involved in such things. Wow!\"\n\nRicky180126 reacted:\n\n\"Jeez. These former Miss SA winners and getting involved with dodgy men.\"\n\nLyifaK noted:\n\n\"She has gone private on Insta.\"\n\nTP_Pillay threw shade:\n\n\"I still can't believe how dumb these people were. They bought a suspicious amount of shares from companies they own.'\n\nXaraonb threw shade at Dr Tamaryn Green-Nxumalo's husband Ze Nxumalo:\n\n\"The other Miss South Africa is married to that guy whose name keeps popping up at the Madlanga Commission.\"\n\nRead the statement from the FSCA below.\n\nChidimma Adetshina faces backlash from Nigerians\n\nIn an earlier report, Briefly News shared insight into Chidimma Adetshina's legal battle, which is said to have outraged fellow Nigerians.\n\nThe former Miss South Africa contestant reportedly angered her supporters, who labelled Adetshina as \"ungrateful\" after they broke their rules for her.",

"body": "Five European Union countries are seeking a deal with an unnamed non-EU country to host a \"return hub\" for migrants whose asylum applications have been rejected, with a targeted start date of 1 January, a Danish minister said on Friday.\n\nDenmark, Greece, Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands agreed to the initiative as Copenhagen hosted talks on the creation of migrant detention centres outside Europe.\n\n\"Around New Year, we expect to have a common understanding with a partner country outside of the European Union,\" said Danish Migrations Minister Morten Bodskov.\n\nThe partner country or countries have not been disclosed, but Uganda and Rwanda in particular are seen as possibilities.\n\nUpon arriving at the meeting, Greek Migration and Asylum Minister Thanos Plevris said the goal was to have \"the return hub operational in a country outside the European Union by 2027.\"\n\nREAD | EU closes ranks after Ceuta migrant crisis as hardliners push for tougher borders\n\nEarlier on Friday, Denmark said it was ready to send rejected asylum seekers to such hubs by the end of 2027, not the start.\n\n\"We do not accept that foreigners staying illegally in Denmark should be rewarded because of our difficulties in returning them,\" Bodskov said in the earlier statement.\n\nIn June, the European Parliament approved tougher migration rules granting authorities much broader detention powers, and allowing for the creation of \"return hubs\".\n\nThe idea has been severely criticised by human rights groups.\n\nBritain abandoned a scheme to deport undocumented migrants to Rwanda, while Italian-run facilities to process migrants in Albania have faced legal challenges and a slow uptake.",

"title": "F1 icon Ayrton Senna's 1991 Honda NSX to fetch over R15 million at auction",
"body": "Formula 1 icon Ayrton Senna's 1991 Honda NSX is estimated to clear the $1 million mark at RM Sotheby's 2026 London Auction.\n\nApart from his highly accomplished racing career in Formula 1, Ayrton Senna also had a part to play in the development of the original Honda NSX. Given to him by the Japanese automaker after his third F1 title in 1991, he had already tested various prototypes and is widely accredited for the stiffening of the chassis by 50%, as per his feedback. A now-widespread video has even circulated with Senna - wearing loafer footwear, no less - testing a prototype around Suzuka Grand Prix circuit with heel-and-toe downshift footwork. This 1991 example, carrying the T000233 chassis code, is famously finished in Formula Red, replete with a contrast black roof, over a black leather interior.\n\nNow, Senna's NSX will go up for auction on 31 October 2026...and is expected to fetch north of $1 million, or R15 961 620 at the current Rand-Dollar exchange rate. Initially registered in Portugal, where Senna had taken delivery of the vehicle, this NSX has changed hands a number of times since his fatal crash at Imola in 1994. It went to the UK in 2013, then later to Japan in 2024, and will now be sold at RM Sotheby's 2026 London Auction.\n\nThis 1991 NSX is a pre-facelifted model with 63 313 km on the clock. It also featured in the documentary Ayrton Senna: Racing Is In My Blood, adding to its status as collector's item.\n\nBuilt in Japan, the original NSX is powered by a 3.0-litre naturally aspirated V6 producing 201 kW and 284 N.m of torque - the former and the latter available from 7 300 and 5 400 r/min, respectively. This generation is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, which delivered power exclusively to the rear wheels. The NSX also featured ventilated disc brakes on all four corners, with accompanying double wishbone front and rear suspension.",

"title": "Eskom corrects materially inaccurate reporting on FY2026 diesel expenditure by Daily Investor",
"body": "Friday, 4 September 2026: Eskom corrects the materially inaccurate reporting published by Daily Investor on 2 September 2026 under the headline, \"Eskom spent billions on diesel to keep the lights on.\" The article presents Eskom's approved FY2026 diesel budget of R12.81 billion as actual expenditure. This is a basic factual error that materially misrepresents Eskom's financial and operational performance.\n\nActual expenditure on Open-Cycle Gas Turbines (OCGTs) totalled R7.1 billion, comprising R4.96 billion for Eskom-owned OCGTs and R2.14 billion for Independent Power Producer (IPP) OCGTs. The article therefore reports a figure that Eskom did not spend, while omitting the amount actually incurred.\n\nThe facts:\n\n* Actual OCGT expenditure declined from R17.7 billion in FY2025 to R7.1 billion in FY2026, a reduction of R10.6 billion, or approximately 60%.\n\n* Actual expenditure was R5.71 billion below the approved R12.81 billion budget.\n\n* OCGT load factors were 3.9% for Eskom-owned OCGTs and 3.0% for IPP OCGTs, compared with the budget assumption of 5.8%.\n\nThese results are consistent with improved generation performance and substantially reduced reliance on costly emergency generation.\n\nDuring FY2026, Eskom's Energy Availability Factor (EAF) improved to 65.16%, while the Unplanned Capability Loss Factor (UCLF), which measures generation breakdowns, declined to a six-year low of 22.88%, averaging 10 647MW. Reflecting the improved reliability of the generation fleet, loadshedding was limited to only 26 hours spread across four days during the year, compared with 329 days in FY2024.\n\nThe operational and financial outcomes are inseparable. Improved generation performance strengthens energy security and reduces reliance on expensive diesel-fired. These gains were reflected in Eskom's FY2026 results, including a profit after tax of R30.3 billion. The trajectory has continued into FY2027, with diesel expenditure as of 27 August 2026 82.38% lower than the previous year and the load factor averaging just 1.10%, underscoring the sustainability of Eskom's operational recovery and disciplined cost management.\n\nThe wider economic context is equally important. The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research estimated that loadshedding cost the South African economy up to R2.8 trillion in 2023. Against that background, reporting on diesel expenditure without accurately reflecting the substantial reduction in OCGT costs and loadshedding presents an incomplete and misleading account of Eskom's performance.\n\nA fair assessment of Eskom's performance must distinguish between an approved budget and actual expenditure. The article fails that basic test. Eskom remains committed to transparent, fact-based reporting of its operational and financial performance.\n\n#GovZAUpdates",

"title": "The city where pensioners can survive on less",
"body": "Most pensioners in South Africa's major metros supplement their old-age grant with a job, retirement annuity, rental income, or by living with their children.\n\nIndependent living is almost impossible with only R2 400 a month.\n\nIn one South African metro, pensioners can live comfortably on less.\n\nNot yet R2 400, but as close to it as possible.\n\nWhich metro is most affordable for pensioners?\n\nJohannesburg is the most affordable metro for pensioners.\n\nThe metro offers several rebates and perks that lower pensioners' monthly expenses.\n\nRates, Electricity, Water\n\nPensioners earning below R12 474 qualify for a 100% rebate if they're between 60 and 69.\n\nPensioners 70 years and older won't pay rates on a property valued below R2 million.\n\nThat gives the average pensioner plenty of breathing room, even if they're living in Johannesburg's leafier suburbs.\n\nPensioners who own property valued at less than R2.5 million can access the City of Johannesburg's expanded social package rebate.\n\nThe city will provide free electricity up to 30 kilowatt-hours and free water up to 25 litres per person per day.\n\nElectricity in the city is also cheaper than in other metros.\n\nElectricity Tariff\n\nTransport\n\nJoburg pensioners don't have to spend much on transport.\n\nThe city's pensioners can take the Rea Vaya bus for free.\n\nTo get a Smart Card, the ticket passengers use to access the bus, pensioners will spend R30.\n\nThen each month, pensioners can visit the customer care centre to load their 20 free trips.\n\nBetween 08:30 and 15:00 every day, and all day on public holidays and weekends, pensioners can cash in their free transportation.\n\nPensioners earning below R350 000 a year can also save 50% on Gautrain fares.\n\nAccommodation\n\nIn suburbs like Blackheath, where the crime rate is 3.13%, pensioners can buy a 1-bedroom flat in a secure complex, starting at R370 000.\n\nLevies start at R1 500 a month.\n\nIn the city's safest police precinct, Rosebank, pensioners can purchase a 1-bedroom flat for just under R800 000.\n\nLevies start at R1 440.\n\nThere are also retirement village rentals in the city starting from R3 750 for two occupants.\n\nGroceries\n\nJoburg's grocery prices aren't the most affordable; that award goes to Durban.\n\nHowever, Joburg groceries are only 1.4% more expensive than Durban on a basic basket of goods that includes 2 kilograms of white sugar, 2 litres of fresh milk, 700 grams of bread, 300 grams of cheese, and 150 grams of ham.\n\nIs Johannesburg Pensioner-Friendly?\n\nNo one considers Joburg a pensioner's paradise.\n\nOf the major metros, Joburg has the fewest residents over 65.\n\nAccording to the 2022 census, residents over 65 make up 5% of the city's population.\n\nEvery other metro has surpassed 6%.\n\nBut the city is home to the oldest rotary club, and young-at-heart pensioners can join the city's numerous social clubs.",
