Sports minister Gayton McKenzie has said his department plans to temporarily take over the Soweto Marathon. He will meet with the race organisers and Athletics South Africa to help restore governance structures. He also suggested his department would find the budget to pay the out-of-pocket athletes.

- Description
- South African municipalities are sitting on goldmines of your personal data — ID numbers, addresses, billing details — and they are catastrophically unprepared to protect it. No skills, ancient tech, and bureaucratic red tape have left our local governments wide open to ransomware gangs and phishing attacks. And the thieves? They’re already inside the house. Daily Maverick’s Lindsey Schutters explains.

- Description
- Rebecca Davis investigates fresh allegations against Social Development Minister Sisisi Tolashe. Documents suggest a former household worker may have been forced to give half of her state-funded salary to Tolashe’s daughter.
The story follows earlier revelations that Tolashe accepted two luxury Chinese SUVs in 2023 — reportedly for the ANC Women’s League — without declaring them to Parliament.
On 14 May 2026, President Cyril Ramaphosa fired Tolashe. Sindisiwe Chikunga has been appointed acting minister until a permanent replacement is named.

- Description
- South Africa’s latest crime statistics suggest a country getting safer, but that’s only part of the story. Commercial crime - fraud, scams, and financial exploitation - is rising, with cases doubling over the past decade. It’s a quieter crime, but one that targets ordinary South Africans directly, often through the very systems they rely on. Why has this surge escaped national attention? And what happens when victims try to fight back? Rebecca Davis, senior journalist at Daily Maverick, reports.
