"title": "Nigeria Jails Three for Life Over Oyo School Abductions",
"body": "Three men have been sentenced to life imprisonment in Nigeria after pleading guilty to offences linked to the kidnapping of dozens of pupils and teachers during coordinated attacks on schools in Oyo State in May. Justice Salim Ibrahim sentenced the three men after they pleaded guilty to some of the 10 terrorism charges preferred against them by the federal government.\n\nAbdulrazak Umar (a.k.a. Abu Khalifa/Abu Khalid), Yunusa Musa (a.k.a. Yunusa bin Musa) and Shamsu Adamu Sani (a.k.a. Abu Itisar) pleaded guilty to counts four and six. The men admitted to concealing information about those responsible and acknowledged being members of a Boko Haram affiliate. They denied conspiring in the abductions. The convictions come weeks after security forces rescued 44 abducted pupils and teachers.\n\nMass kidnappings by armed groups for ransom have become increasingly common, often requesting ransoms for the release of the captives. They tend to focus on soft targets such as schools, churches, mosques and remote villages.",

"title": "Cloned - The Children We Have Failed: Parliament's Enquiry into Statutory Rape Must Become South Africa's Turning Point",
"body": "Zenizole Vena's tragic story reveals a systemic failure in South Africa's response to child sexual abuse. As Parliament begins to confront these issues, can this enquiry become a turning point for the protection of our children?\n\nIn September 2022, South Africans awoke to a story that was almost too painful to comprehend. Fifteen-year-old Zenizole Vena from Motherwell in Gqeberha had allegedly endured four days of captivity during which she was repeatedly gang raped. Somehow, she escaped. Bleeding, vomiting, and suffering seizures, she did what every child is taught to do in moments of danger: she sought help from the state. Yet when she arrived at a local clinic, she was allegedly told that she first needed to report the matter to the police. She never made it. She collapsed before reaching the police station and later died.\n\nZenizole's story exposed something far greater than the failures of one clinic or one group of perpetrators. It exposed a state whose institutions remain dangerously fragmented in their response to child sexual abuse. Three years later, Parliament has finally begun asking the questions that should have been asked long before Zenizole's death. The Parliamentary Enquiry into Statutory Rape, initiated after a motion introduced by the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in August 2024, has forced the country to confront the disturbing that South Africa does not simply have a statutory rape problem. It has a systemic failure to identify, investigate, and prosecute the sexual exploitation of children.\n\nAs the EFF marks thirteen years of consistent advocacy for women and children, it is worth reflecting that this enquiry did not emerge by accident. It emerged because Parliament was compelled to examine a contradiction that government itself had never adequately explained. During the 2024/25 financial year alone, the Department of Health recorded 2,387 births to girls between the ages of 10 and 14, and 114,808 births to girls aged 15 to 19. The Department of Social Development, meanwhile, recorded 9,857 cases of child sexual abuse during the same period, while acknowledging that child sexual abuse remains significantly underreported.\n\nThose figures are shocking enough, yet they become even more disturbing when placed alongside the statistics presented by the South African Police Service (SAPS). Between 2020 and 2025, SAPS recorded just 3,232 statutory rape cases nationally. Of those cases, 1,853, or 57.3%, were withdrawn before or during court proceedings, while only 449 cases, representing 13.9%, resulted in convictions.\n\nFor years, South Africa has treated statutory rape as an isolated criminal offence rather than recognising it as the point where multiple crises intersect. Child sexual abuse cannot be separated from teenage pregnancy; teenage pregnancy cannot be separated from HIV infection among adolescent girls; and HIV/Aids vulnerability cannot be separated from age-disparate relationships, poverty, coercion, and transactional sex. The abuse of children is simultaneously a policing issue, a public health crisis, an education crisis, a developmental crisis and, ultimately, a governance crisis.\n\nAdolescent girls and young women continue to bear a disproportionate burden of new HIV infections. Young women between the ages of 15 and 24 remain significantly more likely to acquire HIV/Aids than their male counterparts, largely because of unequal power relations, predatory older men, sexual violence, and structural inequality. Early pregnancy and child sexual exploitation are therefore manifestations of the same social conditions that continue to deny young women bodily autonomy, safety, and opportunity.\n\nYet despite these interconnected realities, government has historically responded in silos. Health records pregnancies, Basic Education monitors learner attendance and learner pregnancies, Social Development records child abuse, SAPS investigates criminal offences, and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) manages prosecutions.\n\nThis was precisely why the National Assembly adopted the EFF's motion introduced on 27 August 2024, which eventually led to an enquiry that began in July 2025 and presented its briefing recently. The motion required the Portfolio Committees on Health, Social Development, Basic Education, Police and Justice to undertake a joint programme of public participation into statutory rape. It recognised that Parliament itself had to step across departmental boundaries if it was to understand why children continued falling through the cracks of government.\n\nThe findings recently presented in the briefing confirm what communities, researchers and activists have argued for years. The enquiry found that statutory rape remains substantially underreported because victims fear retaliation, families often discourage disclosure, communities continue to normalise exploitative relationships between adults and children, and professionals who are legally required to report abuse frequently fail to comply with mandatory reporting obligations.\n\nEqually troubling was the evidence concerning educational institutions. Research presented showed that between 11% and 16% of children aged 15 to 17 have experienced sexual abuse, yet only about one-third of victims sought assistance. At the same time, 474 sexual offence cases involving educators were reported to the South African Council for Educators (SACE) between 2019 and 2022, while schools themselves continue to report incidents of rape occurring within educational environments.\n\nThis is why we have always insisted that every pregnancy involving a child below the age of consent should automatically trigger a multidisciplinary investigation involving healthcare professionals, SAPS, and social workers. It is indefensible that a child can give birth without the state determining whether that pregnancy resulted from a criminal offence. Where the identity of the biological father is unknown, disputed, or deliberately concealed, investigators should be empowered, subject to judicial oversight and always acting in the best interests of the child, to utilise DNA testing to establish paternity and identify perpetrators.\n\nMandatory reporting obligations must also carry meaningful consequences. Teachers, healthcare professionals and social workers who knowingly fail to report suspected statutory rape should face serious legal sanctions. Likewise, Parliament should legislate an integrated national reporting system linking the Departments of Health, Basic Education, Social Development, SAPS, and the NPA. It is unacceptable that government departments continue maintaining separate datasets that cannot reliably identify whether a child whose pregnancy is recorded by one department ever became the subject of a criminal investigation by another.\n\nFinally, Parliament must address the extraordinary weaknesses within the criminal justice system. More than half of all reported statutory rape cases should never disappear before reaching conclusion. This requires greater investment in Family Violence, Child Protection, and Sexual Offences Units, specialised prosecutors, forensic social workers, DNA processing capacity, more, resourced Thuthuzela Care Centres, and comprehensive victim support services that enable children and their families to remain engaged throughout lengthy court processes.\n\nThe Parliamentary Enquiry into Statutory Rape should become the moment when South Africa finally acknowledged that the abuse of children is not merely a collection of individual crimes but a profound failure of the democratic state. As the EFF reflects on thirteen years of championing the rights of women and children, this enquiry stands as a reminder that Parliament is at its strongest when it transforms public pain into public policy. The motion that initiated this process was never intended to produce another report destined for parliamentary archives, it was intended to and will compel the state to confront a crisis it has too long ignored.\n\n* Leigh-Ann Mathys is the Deputy Secretary General of the Economic Freedom Fighters.",

"body": "The Gauteng High Court ruled in favour of Novo Nordisk, issuing an interim order to prevent the local pharmacy group from manufacturing and selling weight-loss medicines containing semaglutide, the key ingredient in Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy.\n\nIn response, iDexis applied to appeal the judgment, disputing allegations about product safety and regulatory compliance.\n\nCompounding involves pharmacies mixing or altering the active ingredients of a medicine to address specific patient needs.\n\nIn South Africa, it is restricted to a small number of patients and not allowed at a commercial scale.\n\nLegal implications\n\nWhile the case centres on Ozempic, it raises broader legal questions around pharmaceutical regulation, patient safety, intellectual property and the role of compounding pharmacies in South Africa.\n\nCharles Green, a healthcare and pharmaceutical expert at leading law firm Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr (CDH), says the ruling could have far-reaching implications for the healthcare sector.\n\n\"The court's decision provides important clarity on the legal boundaries governing compounded medicines in South Africa.\n\n\"While compounding remains an essential part of healthcare, it cannot replace the commercial manufacture or distribution of medicines outside the country's regulatory framework.\n\n\"As demand for GLP-1 medicines continues to grow, the decision also highlights the need to balance patient access, innovation and the integrity of South Africa's medicines regulatory system,\" adds Charles.\n\nRegulators' recall\n\nIn the meantime, the South African Pharmacy Council (SAPC), the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) are recalling iDexis' compounded weight-loss medicines, and have warned healthcare professionals that prescribing, dispensing or holding stock of these drugs could lead to disciplinary action.\n\n\"The continued use, prescription and dispensing of these (iDexis) products pose a severe risk to patients' safety and/or users,\" the regulators said.\n\nThe agencies warned that any healthcare professional found to have dispensed, prescribed or retained stock of the recalled products could face disciplinary action.\n\nVincent Tlala, CEO of SAPC, told Reuters that regulators had escalated the matter because, to their knowledge, iDexis had not carried out the recall as required.\n\nTlala said SAPC was working with the Department of Health director-general's office to revoke iDexis's licence and had also engaged law enforcement authorities to take action against those found to be contravening medicines regulations.\n\nAlthough the matter is still before the courts, the ruling is expected to shape how pharmaceutical companies and regulators approach compounded medicines.",

"title": "Oil tops $100 as Middle East tensions rattle markets after Sarb rate decision",
"body": "Brent crude climbed above $100 a barrel as renewed attacks in the Middle East intensified supply concerns, sending global markets lower and adding fresh pressure to inflation and the rand.\n\nOil prices surged above the psychologically significant $100 a barrel mark on Friday morning as escalating conflict in the Middle East reignited fears of supply disruptions, adding fresh inflation risks just a day after the South African Reserve Bank (Sarb) opted to leave interest rates unchanged.\n\nBrent crude traded at $100.81 a barrel at 5:30am South African time on Friday after climbing 7% in the previous trading session to settle at $100.69 a barrel.\n\nThe sharp increase followed intensified Houthi attacks on Saudi oil tankers, raising concerns about global energy supplies.\n\nThe return of triple digit oil prices weighed heavily on investor sentiment across global markets.\n\nAccording to Anchor Capital's Morning Comment, \"Brent rose 7.0% to settle at $100.69 per barrel, as Houthi attacks on Saudi tankers intensified global supply concerns. The renewed spike in energy prices comes at a sensitive time for South Africa after the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) on Thursday decided to keep the repo rate unchanged at 7%.\"\n\nDespite the decision to hold rates, the jump in oil prices is expected to remain a key inflation risk in the months ahead as higher fuel costs filter through the broader economy.\n\nSouth African markets ended Thursday in negative territory as investors reacted to both international developments and domestic monetary policy.\n\nThe JSE All Share Index declined 1.2% to close at 108,335 points, with mining shares among the biggest losers. Northam Platinum dropped 5.2%, Valterra Platinum fell 4.5%, while gold producers including DRDGold, Sibanye Stillwater, AngloGold Ashanti and Harmony Gold Mining all recorded notable losses.\n\nRetail stocks also came under pressure, with Woolworths Holdings falling 3.9%, Foschini Group losing 3.3% and Shoprite Holdings declining 2.3%.\n\nThe rand weakened against the US dollar following the Reserve Bank's announcement and amid the renewed flight to safe haven assets.\n\nBy early Friday morning, the local currency was trading at R16.8307 to the dollar, while the euro traded at R19.1524 and the British pound at R22.4058.\n\nBond markets also reflected growing investor caution, with the yield on South Africa's benchmark 10 year government bond rising to 8.98% and the 20 year bond yield climbing to 9.50%.\n\nThe oil driven inflation concerns extended across international markets.\n\nBritain's FTSE 100 Index fell 0.7% as investors worried that higher energy prices could keep inflation elevated and delay interest rate reductions.\n\nIn the United States, markets also closed lower. The S&P 500 declined 1.2%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1%, while the technology heavy Nasdaq dropped 2.2% as investors balanced concerns over artificial intelligence spending alongside rising geopolitical risks.\n\nAsian markets continued the negative trend on Friday morning, tracking overnight losses on Wall Street. Japan's Nikkei 225 was down 2.8%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng declined 1.3% and South Korea's Kospi tumbled 5.9%.\n\nMeanwhile, gold retreated despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. The precious metal traded at $4,031.46 an ounce after falling 2% during Thursday's session as expectations for higher interest rates continued to weigh on bullion prices.\n\nWith oil now trading above $100 a barrel once again, markets are expected to remain highly sensitive to developments in the Middle East. Investors will also closely monitor whether sustained higher energy prices begin feeding into global inflation expectations and influence future monetary policy decisions by central banks, including the South African Reserve Bank.\n\nFollow Business Report on Facebook, X and on LinkedIn for the latest Business and tech news.",

"title": "Durban lifeguards to showcase essential skills ahead of World Drowning Prevention Day",
"body": "The Rachel Finlayson Pool is expected to showcase Durban lifeguard skills to commemorate World Drowning Prevention Day.\n\neThekwini Municipality lifeguards are expected to provide their insight and demonstrate their preparedness and rapid response capabilities at the Rachel Finlayson Swimming Pool on Friday.\n\nThis is in anticipation of World Drowning Prevention Day on Saturday. The theme for World Drowning Prevention Day 2026 is \"Unite to turn the tide\". The Global Strategy for Drowning Prevention calls every sector and every level of society to one goal: Unite to reduce drowning by 35% by 2035.\n\nAs a leading coastal city, the municipality stated that it is taking a stand to prevent loss of life. In partnership with lifesaving organisations, the event will shine a spotlight on water safety, showcase lifesaving expertise, and reaffirm its commitment to protecting residents and visitors from preventable tragedy.\n\n\"The event will feature live rescue demonstrations by lifeguards, practical water safety and survival techniques, and educational displays highlighting how communities can play an active role in preventing drowning incidents,\" the municipality stated.\n\nJace Govender, representing the Lifesaving Association of South Africa, said that lifeguards contribute to safe tourism, recreational activities, and local economic development by providing confidence that beaches and aquatic facilities are professionally managed.\n\n\"Lifeguards are a vital component of public safety and play an essential role in protecting lives at beaches, swimming pools, rivers, dams, and other aquatic environments. They are far more than emergency responders -- they are a proactive emergency service whose primary objective is to prevent incidents before they occur,\" he explained.\n\nGovender added that through continuous surveillance, risk assessment, and public education, lifeguards identify hazards and intervene before situations become life-threatening.\n\nHe explained that one of the primary responsibilities of lifeguards is establishing and managing designated safe bathing areas. This includes assessing sea and weather conditions, tides, currents, and surf.\n\nAccording to the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI), nearly 1,500 people drown in South Africa each year, with almost 29% of victims being children under the age of 14.\n\nThe Global Alliance for Drowning Prevention, hosted by the World Health Organization (WHO), has developed a strategy to unite diverse sectors and stakeholders through shared goals to address the drowning challenge.\n\nThe alliance offers a global-to-local approach, with affected people and populations at the centre of all decisions. In 2021, the United Nations General Assembly recognised drowning prevention as a global priority and declared July 25 as World Drowning Prevention Day.\n\nSince 2000, the world has cut the drowning rate by 38%.",

"title": "'Look at Brexit': restricting migration will cost SA dearly, warns Sim Tshabalala",
"body": "Standard Bank Group CEO Sim Tshabalala says South Africa should look to the UK's departure from the EU as evidence of the economic cost of restricting migration.\n\nSpeaking at a Kgalema Motlanthe Foundation winter seminar, Tshabalala said the UK's exit from the EU was driven largely by concerns over migration. But the outcome offers a cautionary lesson rather than a template for South Africa.\n\nHe said Brexit cut UK GDP by 6%-8%, reduced investment 13% and pushed unemployment up about 4% relative to a scenario in which Britain had remained in the bloc.\n\nHis comments coincide with an overhaul of South Africa's immigration architecture. The cabinet approved a revised white paper on citizenship, immigration and refugee protection in April, consolidating the Citizenship, Immigration and Refugees acts into a single law.\n\nThe reform introduces a points-based system for certain visas and permanent residency and new visa categories for remote work, start-ups and skilled workers. It retains South Africa's commitments under the 1951 Refugee Convention after an earlier withdrawal proposal was dropped.\n\nThe department of home affairs last week opened the second phase of its Trusted Employer Scheme, which fast-tracks visa processing for accredited employers recruiting senior executives, technical staff and investors.\n\nStandard Bank has a footprint in 20 countries on the continent and generated R49bn in earnings last year, with about 40% of that coming from operations outside South Africa. The bank paid R10.3bn in tax outside the country and R7.7bn domestically.\n\nSome of South Africa's largest companies also operate on the continent, including Goldfields, Sasol, Vodafone, Absa, First Rand, Shoprite, Spar, Aspen and MultiChoice.\n\nThe remarks came during a broader defence of migration's economic contribution to South Africa after mass demonstrations by anti-immigrant groups in the country. Tshabalala pushed back on the argument that foreign nationals take jobs, depress wages and contribute little to the country, calling the claim unsupported by evidence.\n\nMigrants function as consumers, tenants, borrowers and entrepreneurs as well as workers, Tshabalala said, adding that they pay tax either directly through employment or indirectly through value-added tax on goods and services.\n\nHe said the notion that migrants strain the state's ability to serve citizens is not borne out by the data.\n\n\"Further, immigration ... has the effect of reducing unemployment, not increasing [it],\" Tshabalala said.\n\n\"This actually makes a lot of sense to think about. Migrants are not only workers; they are also consumers. They are tenants. They are commuters. They are farmers, they are borrowers, they are traders and they are entrepreneurs.\"\n\nHe said migrants increase the demand for goods as well as the supply of labour. \"They rent rooms. They buy food. They use transport. They pay school fees. They start small businesses and they create jobs for local people. In many settings, they also full the shortages, they broaden skills, and they deepen commercial links,\" he said.\n\n\"We should also say clearly that migrants also pay tax. Those in the formal system will pay tax by way of employment tax; those that are outside the system will buy food, they buy petrol, they buy goods, and they will pay VAT and thereby contribute to the tax system,\" he said, adding that the claim that immigrants diminish the government's ability to serve citizens is untrue. \"It is not supported by the data either.\"\n\nThey rent rooms. They buy food. They use transport. They pay school fees. They start small businesses and they create jobs for local people.... We should also say clearly that migrants also pay tax.\n\n-- Sim Tshabalala, Standard Bank Group CEO\n\nTshabalala also pointed to the scale of corporate investment flowing between South Africa and the rest of the continent.\n\nHe said South African direct investment into Africa totals about R500bn, while investment from African entrepreneurs into South Africa stands at about R64bn.\n\nOther speakers at the seminar linked the migration debate to recent unrest.\n\nFormer president Kgalema Motlanthe said governance failures and weak economic growth, not migration itself, are driving xenophobic violence and that populist leaders have exploited competition for limited resources among poor communities. He said the central government must act promptly and warned that political instability is a precondition for economic instability.\n\nMTN Group chair Mcebisi Jonas said South Africa's economic problems stem from weak growth, poor governance, inadequate education and infrastructure failures, not from foreign nationals, adding that those problems would remain even if all migrants left.\n\nHe said properly managed migration has historically supported the economy, pointing to migrant labour's role in building the mining, agricultural and commercial sectors.\n\nAyabonga Cawe, chief commissioner at the International Trade Administration Commission, suggested that labour federations such as Cosatu, Saftu and Fedusa reconsider their organising strategies to include foreign workers, thereby discouraging employers from bypassing South Africa's labour legislation.",
