Thousands arrested in Operation Shanela crackdown
In one week, 13 915 suspects were arrested through the nationwide crackdown on crime, Operation Shanela. Among these, 190 suspects were arrested for rape – 89 of which were in KZN. National police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Amanda van Wyk said the arrests reaffirm SAPS' unwavering commitment to tackling gender-based violence, femicide, and sexual offences. ALSO READ: Rape suspect outsmarts police 'Police task teams deployed in eManguzi continue to deal decisively with those involved in cross-border crime. Just last week, the team arrested four suspects and recovered 19 stolen vehicles, including 11 bakkies, six SUVs, a minibus, and a sedan during an intelligence-driven operation.' Van Wyk said preliminary reports indicate seven vehicles were reportedly destined to cross the Kosi Bay border. 'The team strategically positioned themselves and successfully intercepted the stolen vehicles from the N2 to the R22. Four suspects were arrested, while some managed to evade arrest and fled the scene. 'One of the recovered vehicles was found with fraudulent documents and affidavits to allow the vehicles to cross the border,' she said. Don't have the ZO app?

Nissan plans to reduce stake in Renault, says CEO Espinosa
Nissan Motor CEO Ivan Espinosa said the carmaker plans to reduce its stake in French partner Renault, the Nikkei business newspaper reported on Monday. Nissan and Renault had said in March they had agreed to reduce their required minimum stake in each other to 10% from 15%. Under their agreement, any share sale has to be co-ordinated with the other party and includes a right of first refusal. Selling a 5% stake in Renault would raise about ¥100bn R11.48bn) at current share prices, funds Nissan plans to use for new vehicle development amid challenging business conditions, the Nikkei said. Nissan holds 15% of the French company, according to LSEG data. The news comes as Renault said on Sunday that boss Luca de Meo is leaving the carmaker to pursue a role outside the car industry. 'We are bringing down our cross-shareholdings to invest in vehicles,' the newspaper quoted Espinosa as saying in an interview. Nissan said that there had been no change in its co-operative agreement with Renault. 'Should a share sale be executed in the future, the proceeds are expected to be primarily allocated towards investments in product development. However, no definitive decisions have been made at this stage,' it said. A sale would mark the latest example of the companies loosening ties which have spanned more than two decades. Renault separately holds a stake in Nissan that is in a French trust, which has been gradually sold down since 2023 when the two overhauled their alliance to put Nissan on more equal footing.
