 AU urges de-escalation as fighting displaces over 180,000 in South Sudan’s Jonglei state The Chairperson of the African Union Commission called for immediate de-escalation and strict adherence to South Sudan’s 2018 peace agreement, as renewed fighting in Jonglei State displaced more than 180,000 people and raised fears of further civilian harm.

 RAF to compensate foreign nationals in Limpopo bus tragedy


The Road Accident Fund (RAF) has confirmed that families of the 43 victims who perished in a tragic bus crash in Limpopo on October 12, 2025, will receive compensation, irrespective of their immigration status. 


The crash occurred near Louis Trichardt on the N1 highway, claiming the lives of 30 Zimbabweans and 6 Malawians, with 49 others injured. The bus was en route from Gqeberha to Harare and onward to Malawi. 


RAF spokesperson clarified that the fund is legally obligated to compensate all individuals involved in road accidents within South Africa, regardless of their legal status. This stance is supported by recent court rulings that have overturned attempts to exclude undocumented foreign nationals from claiming compensation. 


The incident has sparked debate on social media, with some questioning the fairness of compensating undocumented individuals, while others argue for the humanitarian aspect of the policy. 


As investigations into the cause of the crash continue, the RAF is expected to process compensation claims for the victims' families in the coming weeks.
