The party’s Wynand Boshoff says representatives from the MK Party and EFF, repeatedly referred to white people as land thieves, adding that the target of having 30-percent of all land in black ownership by 2030 is inadequate. Boshoff says to secure a future in Africa, Afrikaners will need to reconsider their options:

# The GOOD Party says the government must send a strong message to the xenophobes blocking access by foreign nationals to healthcare facilities in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. Last week, Operation Dudula barred foreign nationals from accessing healthcare facilities, including Addington Hospital, Gateway Clinic, and RK Khan Hospital in Chatsworth. GOOD’s secretary general, Brett Herron, says the Constitution guarantees the right to healthcare for all people in the land. He adds that people engaging in vigilantism must be arrested and prosecuted:

Another suspect, believed to be the buyer of the transformer, will face a bail hearing tomorrow. The metro’s spokesperson, Lindela Mashigo, says the three employees are also facing internal disciplinary processes:

# At least four people have been killed after Houthi rebels sank a cargo ship in the Red Sea, while many other crew members were kidnapped. In total, 22 crew, mostly Filipinos, were on board, as well as a three-member security team. Video footage released by the militant group showed armed men boarding the Greek-operated, Liberian-flagged ship and setting off a series of explosions, which caused it to sink. Six people have been rescued, but the fate of 15 of the crew is currently unknown.
