Original Sarafina! Cast to Reunite for Market Theatre Anniversary
Story 1
The Gauteng Department of Health is encouraging parents, guardians and eligible men to make use of free voluntary medical male circumcision services available at public health facilities across the province.
The department says the procedure is safe when performed by trained professionals and forms part of South Africa’s broader HIV prevention strategy, with studies showing it can reduce the risk of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men by about 60%.
Health MEC Faith Mazibuko says the winter period usually sees increased demand as families use school holidays to access the service, and urges procedures to be done in accredited medical facilities.
Services are available free of charge to boys aged 10 and older and men across Gauteng’s public health facilities.

Eastern Cape Entrepreneurs Introduce Electric Motorbikes to Cut Fuel Costs
Story 2
A new electric mobility solution from the Eastern Cape is aiming to ease the pressure of rising fuel prices on drivers and delivery services.
Style-E Mobility, founded by entrepreneur Mzingisi Mangqukela, has developed electric motorbikes powered by rechargeable batteries instead of petrol. The bikes are designed to help riders reduce operating costs and improve efficiency.
The company is also working on battery-swapping stations, allowing users to quickly replace drained batteries with fully charged ones.
Mangqukela says the innovation could make transport more affordable while reducing reliance on fuel.

Sandton SPCA Expands Rescue Fleet With New Vehicle Donation
Story 3
The Sandton SPCA has strengthened its rescue operations after a generous family donated a new Isuzu vehicle to support animal welfare services in the area.
The addition means inspectors will now be better equipped to respond to cruelty cases, rescue injured animals and attend community call-outs more efficiently. Most of the organisation’s work relies on rapid response across Sandton and surrounding areas.
The vehicle was donated through the Roy McAlpine Charitable Foundation, following earlier contributions that helped add more rescue vehicles to the SPCA’s fleet.
The organisation says the support will significantly improve its ability to reach animals in need and continue its work in the community.
