Former president Kgalema Motlanthe just walked away from the national dialogue, following Thabo Mbeki’s lead. He’s the second ex-leader to quit, saying he’s tired of being dragged into a mess that won’t fix anything. The whole thing feels like a broken promise another talk shop while people suffer.

Leaders keep leaving, and it’s clear nobody trusts this process anymore. How can we build a future when those who know the system won’t even stay?

The foundations backing this dialogue are crumbling, and ordinary people are left with empty words. It’s painful to watch history repeat itself so much hope, so little action. South Africa deserves better than this.

Police Sergeant Lawrence Dumisani Mtshweni was laid to rest at Schoemansdal cemetery after being shot dead during a business robbery last week. The 47-year-old cop and his colleagues were ambushed by seven suspects, with two later killed by Eswatini police and one taking his own life.

Two others have been arrested, but authorities are still hunting the remaining suspects. Mpumalanga’s acting police chief vowed justice, saying they’re closing in on the killers. Meanwhile, a community safety leader warned that attacking cops is like declaring war on the state.

The police union called for more officers and resources to tackle crime. Mtshweni’s burial brings sorrow, but the fight for justice isn’t over.

Orlando Pirates fans are finally smiling after coach Abdeslam Ouaddou made changes they’ve been begging for—and it paid off. The team fought hard to sn**ch a late 1-1 draw against Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 semifinal, with Kamogelo Sebelebele scoring the equalizer.

Fans had been frustrated after two straight league losses, especially with key players benched, but Ouaddou listened and adjusted. He praised the team’s fighting spirit, saying they showed "great character" to bounce back after going down early.

Supporters are now hopeful this could be the turning point, with the second leg still wide open. Ouaddou admits results haven’t matched performances but is asking for patience as the team builds momentum. The atmosphere is shifting, and Bucs fans are starting to believe again.

Thirteen years after the Marikana massacre, families of the slain miners say they’ve been ignored yet again. While the government pushes a "national dialogue," victims call it empty talk Cyril Ramaphosa promised to apologize but still hasn’t shown up.

Widows and survivors are furious, saying no one has been held accountable for the 34 lives lost. They accuse Ramaphosa of caring more about politics than justice, pointing to his past role as a Lonmin director who called for harsh action against strikers.

The so-called dialogue feels like a slap in the face when their pain hasn’t been addressed. Many live in the same poverty that sparked the strike, with mining companies and leaders failing them. The anger is raw justice delayed is justice denied, and they’re tired of waiting.

South Africa’s army chief is in hot water after siding with Iran during a visit, sparking fury back home. General Maphwanya praised Iran’s military and backed its stance on Gaza, breaking strict military rules that ban political talk.

The DA is demanding he face a military trial, saying his actions hurt South Africa’s ties with the US and other allies. The government quickly distanced itself, stressing foreign policy is handled by the president, not soldiers. Critics say the general’s reckless comments come at the worst time, as South Africa fights to fix trade relations with America.

The defence minister approved his trip but now admits his words went too far. Many fear this mess will cost jobs and deepen the country’s economic struggles. The DA insists he must be punished to protect South Africa’s reputation and military discipline.

South Africa’s rugby coach Rassie Erasmus didn’t hold back after his team blew a huge lead against Australia, losing 38-22 in a shocking collapse. The Springboks were up 22-0 early but fell apart as Australia dominated the second half, leaving Erasmus furious.

He admitted the team lacked fight and accuracy, especially after key injuries hurt their momentum. Breakdowns and lineouts were a disaster, with Erasmus taking blame for poor coaching decisions. Now, he’s rethinking his lineup for next week’s rematch in Cape Town, hinting at big changes.

Fans are stunned, and the pressure is on for a major bounce-back performance. Can the Boks turn it around, or will Australia strike again?
