Municipal debt threatens South Africa’s water system, webinar hears
A South African Human Rights Commission webinar heard that more than R28bn owed by municipalities, weak governance and infrastructure losses are threatening water boards and access to sufficient water.
The National Assembly has issued a directive to suspend all official visits to South Africa in response to xenophobic attacks, violence, and hostility against Nigerians and other African nationals. This decision was conveyed by the Clerk to the National Assembly, Mr Kamoru Ogunlana, to the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Friday.
Ogunlana emphasized that the decision reflects the National Assembly's grave concern for the safety, dignity, and welfare of Nigerian citizens residing abroad. He urged the South African government to take urgent and concrete measures to protect Nigerians and other African nationals, investigate reported incidents, arrest suspected perpetrators, and prosecute those responsible in accordance with the law.
The suspension and boycott of South African-hosted or South African-organized legislative activities will remain in force until further notice and will be subject to review by the National Assembly leadership based on the prevailing circumstances.
