- Jacob Zuma’s MK Party won a massive 58 seats in Parliament in the May elections, parachuting them ahead of the Economic Freedom Fighters as the country’s third-largest political party.
And because the two bigger parties, the ANC and the DA, are in a government of national unity together, the MK party is now the official opposition. So what is their strategy going to be like in Parliament?

- Massive power tariff increases in Johannesburg are forcing poor people to choose between buying electricity and buying food. The city’s residents now pay 12.74% more for electricity overall, while poor prepaid users also have a R230 surcharge (a service tax) added on top of that. This increases costs by 60% (for 200 units/month) and 45% (for 300 units/month), EE Business Intelligence owner and energy analyst Chris Yelland has shown.
In an area that is a sample of poor Johannesburg, Daily Maverick found that people were pawning their goods to pay for electricity and food. Others were making choices to eat or stay warm.
