he Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Ms Barbara Creecy in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) visited plastic waste treatment plants in honor of World Environment Day.

Cape Town, 05 June 2023. Naftal Zandamela, the man accused of killing Warren Rhoode makes his first appearance in the Bellville Magistrate's Court. The 41-year-old man is set to face charges for the murder of Warren Rhoode, the son of Major-General Wally Rhoode, who serves as President Cyril Ramaphosa's head of security.
