Battle for AmaZulu kingship wraps up at Supreme Court of Appeal
BLOEMFONTEIN - The battle for the AmaZulu throne wrapped up at the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein.
The President is challenging a High Court ruling setting aside his recognition of King Misuzulu KaZwelithini.
A faction of the royal family argues that President Cyril Ramaphosa did not follow due process.
In 2023, the High Court ruled the President had failed to follow due process in issuing the certification.
But, the President says the court was mistaken in that he was recognising and not appointing.
Prince Mbonisi Zulu is opposing the application.
He says the President acted on an unlawful decision from the AmaZulu Royal House.

Oscar Pistorius 'not guilty' claims: Reeva's reps respond
Reeva Steenkamp's family legal representative has responded to Oscar Pistorius's claims that he had 'no intent' to murder the model. Last week, Henke Pistorius claimed that his son was 'not guilty' of killing his girlfriend. He believes the former Paralympian was, however, responsible for manslaughter and has since accused the state of being 'incompetent' and 'liars'. Reeva was shot and killed after being mistaken for a home intruder at Oscar's Pretoria mansion. He has since served half of his 13 years and five months behind bars, and is now on parole. Last week, OscarPistorius's dad, Henke, appeared on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show, where he made bold claims about his son's murder trial. In it, he accused the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) of being 'incompetent and dishonest'. He also accused state prosecutor Gerrie Nel of 'misleading and lying to the court' Henke repeatedly claimed that Oscar had 'no intent to kill' Reeva Steenkamp. He referred to evidence of his son using just four bullets to murder Reeva Steenkamp through a toilet door. Henke also claimed that Oscar did not know that his girlfriend was in the bathroom. Oscar Pistorius – who shot and killed Reeva on 14 February 2013 – was convicted of culpable homicide in October 2014. This was later upgraded to murder in December 2015. At the time, he was handed a six-year prison sentence. However, in November 2017, following an unsuccessful appeal, the Supreme Court of Appeal increased his jail term to 13 years and five months.

In a statement to The South African, Tana Koen, the legal representative for Reeva Steenkamp's family, expressed her shock at Henke's claims. 'It is on record that the learned judges of the Supreme Court of Appeal found that in firing the fatal shots, the accused must have foreseen, and therefore foresaw that whoever was behind the toilet door might die. 'The judgement further stated that the contradictions were so serious that one really does not know that his explanations are for having fired the fatal shots. No similar statements were made about the state's conduct. During his interview with Piers Morgan, Henke Pistorius also challenged the former NPA prosecutor to debate him on Oscar's murder trial. Henke demanded the 'same rules as court' in his face-off with Gerrie. He said: 'I ask the questions, he can just say 'yes or no'. Let's see if he will accept that, please'. Gerrie – who now works for AfriForum's private prosecuting unit – has yet to respond. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .

Electronic death registration is a win-win for SA — let's make it happen
Several studies have flagged problems with South Africa's death registration processes. To address it, a critical first step is to replace our paper-based process with an electronic one. A recent report by the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC) highlights the underreporting of HIV in official mortality statistics. Official cause of death statistics are based on what doctors write on death notification forms. As part of the process of death registration, medical practitioners are required by law to provide information about the medical conditions resulting in each death. Multiple studies have identified concerns about the quality of the information provided by doctors and the Department of Health has been urged in a policy brief to address them as it clearly undermines the quality of data used by our government for health planning and resource allocation. The recently reported study found extensive underreporting of HIV as a cause of death. Only 28% of deaths that occurred in a national sample of public sector hospitals where the medical record had clear clinical indications of HIV, had HIV specified on their death notification form. Aside from ensuring that medical certification of the cause of death is part of the medical training curriculum, and that additional training is provided during internship periods, another key issue to address is that many doctors are reluctant to record HIV/Aids as a cause of death due to concerns about maintaining patient confidentiality. In 2014, a self-sealing section was added to protect information about cause of death on the death notification form, but this has clearly not had the desired effect. Following the deaths of at least 22 children from contaminated food in 2024, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that the Department of Health would develop an electronic system for recording causes of death as one of several responses to the emergency. The move to an electronic system offers a strategic opportunity to address the challenge around confidentiality and promises a lot more. It allows for secure, institution-based data management that protects confidentiality, encourages accurate reporting and strengthens the integrity of vital statistics. Benefits of this digital transition will include: Improved data quality and confidentiality, encouraging accurate reporting of sensitive conditions like HIV/Aids; Automated validation checks, reducing certification errors at the point of data entry; Real-time access to mortality data, enabling rapid public health responses; and A platform for quality assurance and feedback, currently not possible in the paper-based system. Ultimately, moving away from a paper-based process of death registration will reduce the administrative burden and improve efficiency across the system. This presents a timely and valuable opportunity to collaborate across departments, including health, home affairs and Statistics South Africa, to modernise the country's civil registration and vital statistics system. We are at a pivotal moment for such coordinated policy action. Investing in a robust electronic system for cause-of-death certification will strengthen South Africa's public health planning, improve disease surveillance and increase accountability. The long-term returns – through faster, more reliable data – are substantial for both governance and health outcomes. It is a win-win. DM Dr Pam Groenewald and Professor Debbie Bradshaw are with the South African Medical Research Council's Burden of Disease Research Unit. Note: Spotlight previously reported on the issues discussed in this opinion piece. That reporting included the sentence: 'In the meantime, routine mortality data from Stats SA should clearly be taken with a pinch of salt.' That sentence may have been construed as reflecting Groenewald and the SAMRC's views. Groenewald has asked us to clarify that it does not. She points out that Stats SA is obligated to process the data it receives and the quality issues stem from what doctors report.

‘Intention is to break us': Magashule says Free State asbestos trial delay disrupts 2026 election plans
The former Free State premier maintained that the case was politically motivated. Former Free State premier Ace Magashule appears in the Bloemfontein High Court on 15 April 2024. Picture: Gallo Images/Mlungisi Louw Former ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule has voiced his frustration over further delays in his R255 million Free State asbestos corruption trial. The Free State High Court in Bloemfontein has postponed the case to next year, citing scheduling conflicts involving Judge Philip Loubser and members of the defence team. When proceedings resume on 26 January 2026, Magashule will be tried alongside 16 others, excluding his former personal assistant, Moroadi Cholota. Loubser ruled on Tuesday that the court lacked jurisdiction to prosecute Cholota on corruption charges due to her unlawful extradition from the United States (US). Her removal from the case will stand unless the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) successfully overturns the judgment on appeal. Magashule reacts to Free State asbestos trial delay Speaking to the media afterwards, Magashule criticised the state for contributing to repeated delays. 'We want to show that we are innocent. We want to show that we have cooperated with the state. So they can't always come here and waste our time and postpone.' He maintained that there was no legitimate case against him or his co-accused. 'They are trying to cook, but we will ultimately expose them, that's what I know, and that's why we are ready.' Magashule also pointed out the financial burden of the prolonged legal battle, which has persisted since his arrest in 2020. 'It's costly for us.' ALSO READ: NPA 'taken aback' over Moroadi Cholota extradition ruling, hints at appeal He added that the ongoing trial conflicts with his political commitments, especially with the 2026 local government elections approaching. 'Next year is election year; campaigns must actually start.' Magashule reiterated his belief that the charges are politically driven. 'The intention is to break us. The intention is to demoralise people about us. The intention was to deal with our political careers. The intention is to disrupt us all the time, and unfortunately, we are standing resolute. 'We have fought against apartheid; we will continue fighting against injustices. And we are ready to do so. They can't break us, we are not going to be cowards.' NPA to appeal Moroadi Cholota ruling Commenting on Cholota's removal from the case, Magashule questioned why he was still facing prosecution. 'I don't know why I am still in this box,' he said, adding that anyone who testified at the State Capture Commission should appear in the witness stand during the trial. 'It is their time to come here and prove that I am corrupt and received money from whoever. I deny all those things because this case was political.' Magashule also warned that the trial would backfire on the state. 'The state is playing games here. It is playing games. They know that they don't have a case, and they are still going to be embarrassed. They are going to be embarrassed. You will see.' READ MORE: 'Nothing I can do about it,' Judge tells Magashule as Free State asbestos trial postponed again NPA spokesperson Mthunzi Mhaga said the state intends to appeal the Cholota judgment, describing it as a case with 'far-reaching implications'. 'The state believes that there is evidence that implicates Ms Cholota and therefore would want to see her stand trial. 'Unfortunately, the judge is yet to provide us with a full written judgment upon which a decisive determination will be made on the grounds of appeal and a final decision will be made whether to apply for leave to appeal.' The appeal is scheduled to be heard on Friday, 13 June. In addition, the Democratic Alliance (DA) intends to call on the Department of Justice and the NPA to appear before Parliament to explain what it describes as 'yet another unacceptable failure in prosecuting state capture cases'. Magashule's co-accused in Free State asbestos trial Alongside Magashule, the accused include businessman Edwin Sodi, former Mangaung mayor Olly Mlamleli, former national Department of Human Settlements director-general Thabane Zulu, former Free State Human Settlements head Nthimotse Mokhesi, and the department's former supply chain director Mahlomola Matlakala. They face a range of charges, including fraud, corruption, money laundering, and violations of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA). The charges relate to a 2014 R255 million asbestos removal tender awarded to the joint venture between Diamond Hill Trading and Blackhead Consulting by the Free State Department of Human Settlements, during Magashule's tenure as premier. It is alleged that R27 million in bribes were paid to government officials in connection with the contract. Cholota was accused of facilitating illicit financial transactions on Magashule's behalf.
