Back home, a fully digital visa system lands in September — promising easier travel and a much-needed boost for Home Affairs. The Post Office is pushing a tech-driven revival, but with billions in debt and a trail of failures, even Parliament isn’t buying it.

Mamelodi Sundowns just made African football proud with a statement win at the Club World Cup, Eben Etzebeth is fit and fired up for the Boks, and the Proteas Women bagged a West Indies series for good measure.

Meanwhile, a new phone-based credit score could open doors for millions with no credit history — at the small price of your call logs — and metro cops may soon have more muscle on city streets.

South Africa’s peacekeeping mission in the DRC ends as it began — disorganised and costly — with troops flying home to the wrong airport. In business, the rand holds steady as Middle East tensions ease, while DStv hints at what many South Africans have begged for: a SuperSport-only package. On the pitch, the Proteas pull off a once-in-a-generation win at Lord’s, lifting their first ICC trophy in 27 years.

Our Minerals Minister quietly deletes a controversial BEE clause from South Africa’s draft mining bill — raising bigger questions about who gets to bend the rules when no one’s looking. Eskom, meanwhile, is gearing up to expropriate land in a last-ditch push to fix the grid bottleneck. Over in business, MultiChoice has shed another million subscribers but somehow clawed its way out of technical insolvency. The Bulls are heading into a URC final against a near-unstoppable Leinster squad, and South Africa’s car market is being reshaped by Indian and Chinese-made vehicles. And today’s Bagel Byte? Let’s just say our national anthem packs more languages than most countries do.

Meanwhile, Stats SA hits back at Capitec’s claim that unemployment is wildly overstated, and business confidence rises… but only on paper. In sport, the Comrades Marathon is under fire for sloppy logistics and bitter backlash, while KG Rabada climbs into the record books with a five-wicket haul. And in one of the boldest conservation efforts ever attempted, 70 white rhinos have just made a 3,400km journey to a new home in Rwanda. Also — what animal is secretly related to an elephant? It’s probably not what you think.

MultiChoice is waging a piracy war as IPTV platforms like Waka TV bleed millions from the local content and sports ecosystem. Meanwhile, South Africa’s exports are in the crosshairs as major trading partners roll out carbon border taxes, threatening over 400,000 jobs if we don’t decarbonise fast. On the sports front, SA Rugby is technically insolvent after a collapsed equity deal — though new sponsorships may keep the lights on, for now. And in a shocking Comrades twist, a runner went missing after the race and was found 15 hours later, hypothermic and barely conscious, near the harbour.
