The investigation followed a wave of food poisoning incidents in late 2024 that claimed the lives of at least 23 children in the province. The report says Gauteng has only a fraction of the environmental health inspectors it needs and calls for urgent action to strengthen food safety oversight and protect communities.

At the centre of the dispute is National Treasury's decision to withhold funding from 69 defaulting councils, including the City of Johannesburg, over poor financial management and unpaid debts. While some MPs have backed the move, others have questioned whether freezing funds unfairly punishes residents instead of those responsible.

His testimony forms part of the commission’s probe into allegations that investigations and prosecutions linked to Truth and Reconciliation Commission cases were deliberately obstructed.

		<description><![CDATA[More than 1,000 jobs could be on the line after De Beers announced it will suspend production at its Venetia mine for two years. The company says the decision is driven by weak global demand for natural diamonds, falling prices and growing competition from lab-grown stones. Venetia is South Africa's largest diamond mine and a major employer, raising concerns about the impact on workers, surrounding communities and the country's mining sector. Phemelo Motene speaks to mining expert David van Wyk about the reasons behind the decision and what it means for the industry. <a href="https://www.kaya959.co.za">www.kaya959.co.za</a> &middot; <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kayafm</a>]]></description>

While droughts typically reduce agricultural output and push up the cost of food, experts say this time the country may be better prepared. Above-average rainfall over the past season has boosted soil moisture and dam levels, while healthy grain reserves could help cushion consumers from sharp price increases.
