UN committee urges South Africa to dismantle racist vigilante groups
The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has called on South Africa to dismantle racist vigilante groups amid rising xenophobic violence, migrant killings, and mass displacements.
South Africa witnessed a significant expansion of Changan's electrified vehicle lineup as the company unveiled the Deepal S05 REEV and Uni-S HEV at the Festival of Motoring at Kyalami. The Deepal S05, a mid-sized SUV, differs from its larger sibling S07 by utilizing a range-extender technology instead of a fully electric powertrain.
The S05 REEV relies on a 1.5-litre petrol engine purely as a generator, with a single electric motor of 160kW and 320Nm propelling the vehicle via a 27kWh battery. Changan asserts that the S05 can cover over 1,000km on a combined cycle, offering up to 200km of pure electric driving, and highlights its ability to fast-charge in just 20 minutes.
The four-wheel-drive SUV provides four driving modes: Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Custom, and comes standard with a 15.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 14-speaker sound system, wireless smartphone charging, and advanced safety features such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. The Uni-S HEV, a hybrid version of Changan's mid-sized SUV, combines a turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 166kW and 290Nm to the front wheels.
With a fuel consumption rating of 4.0 litres/100km, the Uni-S HEV offers a choice between CL and CE specifications, featuring 18-inch or 19-inch wheels, and advanced safety systems including Level 2 driver assistance, adaptive cruise control, and a 540-degree camera system. The cabin boasts microfibre leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and a 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
