End book famine for blind people, demand protesters
Protesters led by Blind SA gathered outside the Constitutional Court to demand the resuscitation of a legal exception allowing blind people to convert books into accessible formats. The court had previously ruled parts of the Copyright Act unconstitutional, mandating Parliament to amend it by September 2024. However, the Copyright Amendment Bill, approved by Parliament, remains unsigned by President Ramaphosa, causing the exception to lapse. SECTION27, representing Blind SA, urged the court to reinstate the exception until the bill is signed, emphasizing the need for equal access to reading materials for the visually impaired. The Constitutional Court has reserved judgment on the matter.

Hazardous gases and miners likely heavily armed: Cops refuse to help trapped illegal miners
The South African police have decided not to risk their officers' lives to rescue illegal miners trapped in a hazardous mine near Stilfontein, citing the presence of dangerous gases and the potential for the miners to be heavily armed. The decision follows consultations with the mine owner and the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy, who deemed the situation unsafe. The government maintains that it is not responsible for retrieving criminals, emphasizing that the miners are not to be aided as they did not enter the mine for the republic's benefit. The situation remains tense as community members attempt to assist those underground.

Liquidators told FNB to stop payments as Zuma defaults on VBS loan
Former president Jacob Zuma continues to default on a multimillion-rand loan from the now-defunct VBS Mutual Bank, leading to a court order instructing FNB to partially freeze his account. VBS Mutual Bank liquidator Anoosh Rooplal has been attempting to recover the debt since 2018, with a 2022 court ruling allowing the bank to attach Zuma's assets. The loan was taken in 2016 after the Constitutional Court ordered Zuma to repay state funds used for non-security upgrades at his Nkandla residence. The National Treasury is involved in determining the costs of these upgrades.
