The project forms part of the DSTI’s contribution to South Africa’s just energy transition, hydrogen economy and lon

Image: courtesy of FF Plus The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) tabled a parliamentary motion this afternoon, requesting that the life and exceptional achievements of Mimi Coertse, South Africa’s most celebrated opera singer and international star, be duly honoured and recognised. Coertse, who passed away on 27 April this year at the age of 93, made a phenomenal contribution to the performing arts worldwide. The motion notes Coertse’s glittering international career, particularly

Image: courtesy of FF Plus The latest crisis in the City of Tshwane, where electricity supply to public schools has been disconnected due to outstanding property rates, has a direct and devastating impact on learners and educators. This step is reckless and inhumane, as schools themselves are not responsible for paying property rates. The responsibility rests on the shoulders of the Department of Education, which has to meet these financial obligations on behalf of schools. W

Image: courtesy of FF Plus The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) is cautiously optimistic that the Minister of Agriculture, Mr John Steenhuisen, will tomorrow announce a coherent Section 10 plan for vaccinating against foot-and-mouth disease, as ordered by the court. In fact, it is unthinkable that this course of action had to be taken. Private veterinarians in South Africa possess a wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to infectious diseases. They should have been the

Image: Copilot Generated South African Airways’ (SAA) financial statements for the 2024/25 financial year may look good on paper, but there are unmistakable warning signs indicating that the Airline still faces bankruptcy. While the financials currently paint a positive picture, there is reason to believe this may be short-lived, as the Airline recently sold its take-off and landing slots at Heathrow Airport to improve its cash flow. The Minister of Transport, Ms Barbara Cree

Image: courtesy of motorpress For many South African graduates, the hardest part of finding a job isn’t their qualification, it’s a lack of real-world experience. In response to this growing challenge, WesBank is opening its doors to tertiary students before they graduate by offering early exposure to the world of work as a practical step toward improving employability. This was in action on Tuesday, 21 April, when WesBank hosted a group of 25 students from Regent Business Sc

Image: courtesy of FF Plus The oversight visits by the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) Select Committee on Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) to the Free State municipalities of Masilonyana and Nketoana have uncovered a disturbing picture of how these municipalities are failing both financially and administratively. The two municipalities' leadership simply disregard legislation and provincial authority. Masilonyana has received a disclaimed audit opi

Image: Anyone willing to turn away foreign investment in South Africa because of valid criticism of the country’s race-based laws and legislation, such as the Expropriation Act, should also be prepared to explain to the unemployed masses why the economy is not growing. South Africa’s economic situation is so precarious that political leaders can hardly tell serious investors such as the USA and Elon Musk to keep their “noses out of South Africa’s business” when setting condit

Image: Copilot Generated The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) requested the Minister of Basic Education, Ms Siviwe Gwarube, in writing to extend the deadline for public participation on proposed changes to the History curriculum by fourteen days. The documents on which comment is invited are voluminous and require thorough examination. The invitation for public comment was published in the Government Gazette on 20 March this year with a specified deadline of 19 April. This period

Image: courtesy of motorpress Fuel price increases are hitting South Africans where it hurts most, in their monthly budgets. And while the reasons behind these increases are often global and out of our hands, there are still practical ways to manage the impact without completely overhauling your lifestyle. Understand where your money is going Fuel is not just about filling up your tank. It has a ripple effect across your entire cost of living, from transport to the price of f

Image: courtesy of FF Plus During a question-and-answer session in the National Assembly (NA) this afternoon, the Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, Gwede Mantashe, unequivocally declared that the practice of withholding fuel is illegal. Even though the Minister stated that there is currently no fuel shortage in South Africa nor is one expected, numerous filling stations and wholesalers currently have no diesel. They claim that they cannot obtain diesel from the fe

Image: courtesy of FF Plus The tremendous growth of the Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) over the past months as thousands of new members joined gained further momentum today with the Referendum Party’s decision to dissolve and throw its weight behind the Freedom Front Plus. In the past, many other parties opted to dissolve and join hands with the Freedom Front Plus because they viewed the party as the best and most sustainable vehicle to achieve their ideals. The Referendum Part

Image: courtesy of motorpress Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) has strengthened its longstanding commitment to education, youth empowerment and community upliftment through its continued support of the Rally to Read initiative. TSAM’s contribution this year once again extended beyond classroom resources with a donation of more than 5 000 school shoes to all 13 participating schools in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). The donation further ensures that learners have the essential tools th

Image: Gemini Generated The Gauteng government’s new economic development plan (Gauteng City Region Economic Growth & Development Plan 2030), launched last week, is doomed to fail if it does not move away from the ANC’s ideological approach of managing the economy on the basis of race instead of merit. Although the new economic development plan is a good starting point, it remains flawed because it does not address the real causes of Gauteng’s economic decline. The province i

Image: courtesy of FF Plus In a media statement issued yesterday, the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources assured the public that the country has sufficient fuel supply, despite international conflict. However, the Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) has been privy to letters from fuel suppliers warning filling stations of possible shortages. A long list of filling stations that have already run dry is also circulating on social media. This raises the question: So where is

Image: Gemini Generated The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) shares in the joy of small-scale fishermen from the West Coast region who have regained the right to once again take to the sea with their fishing boats. This rectifies a mistake that should never have occurred in the first place. This rectification is the result of numerous letters, sustained pressure and a formal appeal process after the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment decided to reduce the numbe

Image: courtesy of FF Plus The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) responded to Gauteng’s budget for the 2026/27 financial year, tabled in the Gauteng Legislature on Tuesday, by stating that the provincial government will have to learn to do more with less. Although the budget has grown by R3,6 billion compared to the previous year, the increase is not sufficient to address all the issues in the province. This means the Gauteng government will have to implement additional internal c

Image: courtesy of FF Plus DIRCO’s decision to join its unsavoury partners in The Hague Group in accusing Israel of human rights violations and demanding action – at a time when the United States and Israel are engaged in a war against Iran – is unwise and irresponsible. In times of war, geopolitical dividing lines are drawn more sharply, and aligning oneself with a particular side – as South Africa has done by embracing Iran while the country wages war against America and Is

Image: courtesy of FF Plus Limpopo Premier Phophi Ramathuba failed the test of self-reflection with her State of the Province Address (SOPA) as she completely overlooked the ANC's own shortcomings by focusing on the past and external factors instead. Thus, Limpopo communities are once again deprived of honest leadership and transparency – both of which are essential for effectively addressing the province’s challenges. Although the Premier highlighted the devastation of the r

Image: courtesy of FF Plus The latest crime statistics released by the police for the period between October and December 2025 show that Gauteng remains one of the most dangerous provinces in the country. Although there are slight improvements in certain crime categories, the overall level of violent crime remains extremely high. Some serious crimes, such as murder, house robbery and business robbery, dropped slightly. However, these decreases are relatively small in relation
