CAPE TOWN - The National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA) has  welcomed the announcement by Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Dr Dion George, on the imminent publication of the Lion Prohibition Notice banning new captive lion breeding facilities.   This long-awaited reform marks a pivotal milestone in dismantling an industry built on systemic cruelty, reflecting years of legal action, public advocacy, and inspections by the NSPCA. The prohibition confirms what the NSPCA has long exposed: the captive lion industry has operated largely unabated for decades, inflicting severe animal welfare violations, damaging South Africa’s conservation reputation, and flouting constitutional obligations to protect sentient beings. While limited to new facilities, this ban sends a clear signal that the commodification of lions for tourism, hunting, and the bone trade is no longer defensible.

KWAZULU-NATAL - Founder of Gift of the Givers, Dr Imtiaz Sooliman has defended KZN Police Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi after he made explosive claims about Minister, Senzo Mchunu. During a media briefing, Mkhwanazi made several startling revelations, accusing senior police leadership, including Mchunu, of interfering in investigations into politically motivated killings, corruption, and collusion with criminal networks. Mchunu has denied all allegations against him. Dr Sooliman met with General Mkhwanazi to get a better perspective about his claims. Following the meeting, he described Mkhwanazi as a Beacon of Hope for SA. "The SAPS is so often vilified, insulted, demeaned, maligned, accused of corruption, inaction and inefficiency. Yes, there are those within the SAPS, as in every institution, that have failed to perform, but to generalise and paint an entire institution with the same negativity is disingenuous, demoralising, unjust and unfair to those men and wome...

LIMPOPO - In 2022, when all hope was lost by many due to the effects of COVID-19, deep house sensation Senior Oat uplifted the masses with his soothing hit All in You . Featuring the talented, Kemy Chienda, the song became a hit across board. However, this producer from Limpopo enjoyed little success from the song due to the rapid rise of a new genre that was taking the music world by storm. Amapiano vanguarded by the likes of Kabza de Small and DJ Maphorisa, left little room for other genres to breathe - suffocating the rise of Senior Oats and the likes. Frustrated by the lack of gigs and mounting personal bills, the DJ took to his socials to plead with promoters and club owners for gigs. "Hey guys, I wanna share something real. My heart has been heavy lately. I’m going through a tough time financially, I’m behind on bills and it’s really bad. "Finding gigs lately has been really difficult, and it’s made things even harder," he said "I’m not asking for...
