Fifty-nine years after the passing of Africa's first Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Chief Albert Luthuli, a monumental campaign is underway to rewrite history books and restore his true legacy.​ Today, marking the 59th anniversary of his passing the Luthuli Foundation and the Royal Norwegian Embassy officially declared 2027 as the "Year of Luthuli" during a commemoration at his lifelong home in Groutville, near Kwadukuza in KwaZulu-Natal. This follows a landmark High Court ruling which officially erased a decade-long apartheid lie surrounding the cause of his death. #sabcnews

Chief Justice Mandisa Maya has expressed concern about the abuse on social media to create false political narratives about the judiciary and judgments. She was speaking at the opening of the 2026 Judiciary Conference in Durban, via audio link where top legal minds and judicial leaders from across South Africa gathered. Operating under the banner "Towards a Single, Independent, and Accountable Judiciary," the bench is confronting its biggest challenges yet, from crippling case backlogs to the fight for complete financial independence. #sabcnews

youtu.be/doyxOMaEkvg?si=2-0f… This July marks exactly five years since South Africa descended into a week of unprecedented chaos. In July 2021, the imprisonment of former President Jacob Zuma triggered what became the worst civil unrest and mass looting since the dawn of democracy. At least 354 lives were lost, and up to R50 billion was wiped from the economy. Five years later, we look back at the impact in KwaZulu-Natal, and how that changed the socio-economic landscape. #sabcnews
