In case you missed it: Court: MK’s 2024 case ‘flawed’ | SA envoy slams white cross protest | 3 Bafana stars to watch vs Guinea

The Electoral Court dismissed an application by the MK party on Friday, ruling their case challenging the 2024 national and provincial election results as 'flawed'. Former President Jacob Zuma's party claimed the integrity of the election was compromised when the IEC's results dashboard went blank for two hours on May 31, 2024. They also alleged the IEC's digital vote-capturing system was unreliable, potentially casting doubt over the election outcomes.

South Africa's ambassador to the United States, Roelf Meyer, rejected claims of "political persecution" against white farmers. He warned that such rhetoric could damage bilateral relations and misrepresent the country's crime crisis. The controversy stems from activist Dr Ernst Roets, founder of Lex Libertas, who organized the White Cross Project in Washington, DC.

This project aims to erect 3,000 crosses to raise awareness of farm murders in South Africa, sparking debate over minority victimization under the ANC government.
