15 years after load shedding started, the government is still talking about how to fix it; an announcement on income support for South Africa is expected in October; South Africa is becoming known as a mafia state; and Mkhize gets backing for ANC president in eThekwini, while Nelson Mandela Bay gets a new mayor.

[A new report assessing levels of organised crime has found that South Africa is now moving up the quadrant of criminality and has raced past Mexico, Somalia and Libya. It is in the sphere of Guatemala, Brazil and Russia – gaining global notoriety as a mafia state. The country assessment shows that the majority of 15 crime measures levels are increasing. None are declining.
