In case you missed it: Chikunga over attacks on women | Gauteng murder rate drops | Eight killed in N17 crash

Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga has called for urgent action following incidents where women were attacked while exercising in public spaces, highlighting the need for stronger measures to protect women from violence. In Gauteng, the crime statistics for the first quarter of the 2026/27 financial year show a decline in murders and rapes, although overall crime levels remain a serious concern. Additionally, a tragic head-on collision involving an N17 highway crash resulted in the deaths of eight people, including two children.
