An 18-year-old learner from a high school in eMalahleni appeared in the Witbank Magistrate’s Court after video footage showed him pushing two teachers down steps on September 9. The teen and his mother had initially tried to open a case against the teachers, but police arrested him after reviewing the footage. He was released on a warning, and the case was postponed to November 12. The school headmaster confirmed a disciplinary hearing is also underway, while the Department of Education has requested a full report. At what age do you think a teenager should be held fully accountable for their actions? Think back to when you were 18 – were you really making well-thought-out decisions, or do you believe accountability should come later?” Mark as Listened

The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) has condemned ongoing unlawful evictions in Gauteng, calling them a violation of the Constitution and human dignity. Municipalities, private security companies, and other actors have carried out evictions without court orders, disregarding the Prevention of Illegal Eviction and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act (PIE). Recent cases include the City of Ekurhuleni evicting residents from Pharoe Park flats over a R200m debt and Tshwane issuing notices to tenants owing R12m. Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi also vowed to conduct evictions “even at 2am.” Mark as Listened
