SAHRC to begin hearing into July unrest on Monday

The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) is expected to begin its national investigative hearing into July’s civil unrest in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng on Monday.

The Commission says that the unrest exacerbated the inequality between certain communities, unemployment levels, poverty, hunger, and food insecurity.

Police, defence, justice, and State Security ministers are among the government leaders set to appear before the Commission.

At least 350 people died when violence erupted in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.

The Commission further says that the impact of the unrest has been devastating for the country’s economy with huge financial losses to businesses, some of which will not be able to recover and re-trade, resulting in wide-scale job losses.

The man’s girlfriend who had visited him made the discovery while he was out shopping. She then alerted neighbours and an off-duty policeman.

When the community tried to apprehend the man, he locked himself in his room and later tried to harm himself. The man was eventually taken to hospital.

Police spokesperson Brenda Muridili says it’s understood the man works for a major insurance company while his girlfriend is a student.

In the video below, Muridili gives more details:

Morocco plans additional airport COVID testing amid Europe surge

Morocco will conduct rapid COVID-19 tests to passengers arriving in its airports and ports, and will deny access to any visitor with a positive result, the government said on Saturday.

The measure, which strengthens an existing requirement of a negative PCR test 48 hours before departure, aims to protect the country amid a surge of cases in Europe, the government said in a statement.

Travelers with positive test must be returned at the cost of the airline that brought them into the country, unless they have a permanent residency document, it said.

Passengers visiting Morocco should also have proof of vaccination. The country made the vaccine pass mandatory to access public places after it vaccinated more than 50% of its population.

Morocco has administered more coronavirus vaccine doses than any other African country, inoculating 24.3 million people out of a population of 36 million. It has also started administering booster shots.

Last Wednesday, the country ended a night curfew aimed at combating COVID-19 that it introduced in March 2020 after a fall in cases from the summer peak.
