Wani directs Ministry of Mining to Regulates Mining Companies operating in the Country.

Juba

Vice President James Wani Igga has directed the Ministry of Mining to ensure all companies operating in South Sudan’s mining sector comply with national laws and regulations.

Igga, who chairs the Economic Cluster, also stressed that mining activities must benefit the people of South Sudan.

He made the remarks on Monday in Juba after receiving a briefing from Mining Minister Losuba Ludoru Wongo and his delegation.

The briefing covered plans to conduct geological surveys to determine the country’s mineral potential across all states, as well as updates on exploration processes for companies seeking to invest in the sector.

The ministry also briefed the Vice President on challenges facing the mining industry.

According to the ministry, Shamrock Company is among the major firms seeking to invest in South Sudan’s mining sector.

The company has reportedly agreed to construct three major roads and establish a gold refinery to add value to minerals extracted in the country.

Vice President Igga reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting responsible investment in the mining sector, saying mining activities should contribute to economic stabilization.

The government has been seeking to expand mining activities while strengthening regulation and ensuring the sector contributes more to national development.

Supreme Court adjourns Ajing Deng petition to September 22 to review medical reports presented by legal team

The Constitutional Panel of the Supreme Court of South Sudan has adjourned the constitutional petition filed by former Executive Director in the Office of the President, Ajing Deng Ajing, to September 22, 2026, to allow the court to review medical reports presented by his legal team. Ajing was brought before the court during today’s session, September 15, following a request by his lawyers during the previous hearing. The session focused on provisional remedies, including his continued detention and request for release on medical grounds.

Speaking before the court, Ajing said detention had been difficult, stating that he spent about three months in detention without knowing why he had been arrested. He told the court that a warrant of arrest was later presented to him on February 26, 2026, after the period of detention, while investigations were conducted later in June 2026. Ajing also told the panel that he is currently sick and had been admitted to hospital for two weeks, asking the court to release him so he could continue his treatment. He said he could not afford to meet the hospital bills while remaining in detention.

His legal team presented a medical report to the court in support of his request for provisional relief and release for medical treatment. After hearing the submissions and receiving the medical documents, the Constitutional Panel adjourned today’s proceedings to September 22, 2026, to review the medical reports before making further consideration of the petition and the request for provisional remedies.

🚨Breaking News: High Court suspends UJoSS elections after journalists challenge electoral process

The High Court has suspended elections of the Union of Journalists of South Sudan (UJoSS), which were scheduled for Thursday, September 17, 2026, after a section of journalists challenged the electoral process and raised concerns over the union’s constitutional affairs.

The elections were expected to cover several executive positions, including President, Secretary General and Secretary for Finance. Incumbent UJoSS President Patrick Oyet was the sole candidate for the presidency, seeking a second term.

The journalists said they had repeatedly demanded that the Executive Committee resolve the ongoing dispute surrounding the union’s Constitution and comply with an order issued by the Registrar at the Ministry of Justice.

They also called for the General Assembly to be allowed to exercise its oversight role in accordance with the Constitution and the principles of democratic trade unionism.

The court’s decision has put the September 17 elections on hold pending further consideration of the issues raised.
