Nearly nine years ago, on 5 February 2016, a container with three mine workers – Pretty Nkambule, Yvonne Mnisi, and Solomon Nyirenda – collapsed through an implosion at the Lily Mine, in Mpumalanga, taking all three innocent lives with it. To this day, their remains have not been recovered, and their families continue to endure the anguish of being unable to provide them with a dignified burial so that they can reach closure.

While ActionSA welcomes the announcement by the Premier to insource security guards, cleaners, kitchen, and garden staff at new healthcare facilities, we cannot celebrate it.

ActionSA will write to the Minister of Higher Education and NSFAS, urging immediate action and a clear plan to address the increasing uncertainty surrounding the NSFAS and its funding shortfalls as universities across South Africa commence the new academic year.

ActionSA is deeply concerned about the increasing number of traffic lights that are not functioning across the province of Gauteng both in municipal and provincial roads. Over 150 traffic lights across the province are currently non-operational as of the last audit by the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport.

ActionSA can now reveal that the Finance Ministry, led by Minister Enoch Godongwana, racked up a travel bill of more than R8 million between July and November last year.
