South African Court Invalidates Recognition of Zulu King by President

A South African court has overturned President Cyril Ramaphosa's recognition of Misuzulu kaZwelithini as the king of the Zulu nation, following objections from some members of the Zulu royal house. The court has ordered Ramaphosa to launch an investigation into the selection process for the throne.

The Zulu royal house controls significant land and receives a substantial budget from the provincial government.

South Africans demand president's resignation amidst ongoing protests.

The Economic Freedom Fighters party in South Africa is demanding the resignation of President Cyril Ramaphosa and called for a national shutdown, but there was limited response in most major cities. At least 87 people were arrested for public violence and related offenses, and police confiscated over 24,000 strategically placed tires. The protests were meant to highlight the country's power cuts, which have left households and businesses without electricity for up to 12 hours daily. The EFF is South Africa's third-largest political party.
