In case you missed it: ANC insists best for SA | Foreigner intercepted en route to Russian/Ukraine war | Phuti Khomo’s sister speaks out

ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu insists that despite the party's disappointing election results, the ANC remains the best political choice for South Africans. In the latest election cycle, the ANC saw a significant drop in support, falling below 50% and necessitating a coalition with other parties to maintain power.

In related news, South Africa has intercepted another foreign national allegedly en route to participate in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. This brings the total number of such arrests to ten. The suspect was apprehended by a joint investigation team comprising numerous law enforcement agencies and international partners.

Meanwhile, Phuti Khomo's sister, Jacquie Khomo, has come forward to address allegations made by television producer Tumelo Maimela. According to Maimela, Khomo owes him money from a reality television project. In response, Maimela posted videos on social media, accusing Khomo of being a gambling addict and living an exaggerated lifestyle. Khomo's sister has defended her against these claims.
