Limpopo's Department of Transport reports a bus carrying 31 passengers from Gauteng veered off the N1 near Ingwe Lodge, outside Makhado, and plunged into a ditch. Multiple fatalities and injuries are reported. The department says at least 4 passengers are confirmed to have died. The department says the exact cause of the accident remains unknown. However, it is clear that there are multiple fatalities and injuries. The bus was travelling from Gauteng to Zimbabwe, and it has not yet been established whether all passengers were bound for Zimbabwe. The vehicle remains in the ditch, making it difficult to determine the exact number of occupants at the time of the incident. Limpopo Transport Spokesperson, Matome Moremi-Taueatsoala, explains

O teatro está a ser usado em Massingir, na província de Gaza, para alertar as populações para as doenças transmitidas pelos animais como a raiva ou a tuberculose bovina. São apresentações construídas com a população, utilizando a linguagem corrente para falar sobre estes temas e onde os investigadores advogam também pela melhoria das condições de vida dos habitantes à volta do Parque Natural do Limpopo. Em Moçambique, um projecto levado a cabo por cientistas sociais está a ir às comunidades em risco de contrair doenças zoonóticas, ou seja doenças passadas pelos animais domésticos ou selvagens ao homem, de forma a alertar, prevenir e informar as populações. Este projecto visa avaliar o que os habitante sabem sobre estas maleitas e, a partir daí, com o vocabulário próprio das comunidades criar uma peça de teatro não só que alerte para os perigos dessas interacções, mas também que fale sobre sintomas e descontrua mitos ou crenças à volta de doenças ainda bastante prevalentes como a raiva ou a tuberculose bovina. O sociólogo moçambicano, Carlos Cuinhane, tem levado a cabo este projecto no distrito de Massingir, na província de Gaza, nas comunidades limítrofes do Parque Natural do Limpopo, e explica como estas representações teatrais podem ser mais eficazes do que panfletos ou cartazes, dando um papel activo às populações no combate a estas doenças. "Chegámos à conclusão de que, efectivamente, todos os processos de comunicação que eram feitos eram baseados no processo tradicional, nomeadamente panfletos, com a tradução de inglês para português e língua local. Entendemos que face ao historial de Moçambique, em particular e da região havia esta informação, mas em termos de impacto, as práticas sociais de risco continuavam a serem comuns nas comunidades. E perguntamos para nós será que reproduzir o mesmo modelo valia a pena? Chegamos à conclusão de que não. Em outras comunidades, havia uma tentativa de envolvimento das próprias comunidades. Mas, mais importante ainda é a ideia em que chegamos à conclusão de que todas as práticas que eram desenvolvidas nesse sentido da produção de comunicação eram baseadas na perspectiva 'top down', ou seja, os cientistas faziam a investigação, chegavam as suas conclusões, definiam o que era a comunicação e depois enviavam à comunidade. E nós entendemos que, como uma inovação, podíamos fazer duas coisas. A primeira era basear se exatamente a informação de comunicação naquilo que a própria comunidade diz ser o problema e identificar a forma como eles gostariam que comunicassem. O segundo momento foi de que seria ideal usar o teatro exactamente baseado na ideia de que são eles próprios na comunidade a fazerem, a participarem neste processo de teatro e a transmitir a informação para eles próprios. Nós iríamos intermediários e passaríamos tudo para a comunidade", explicou Carlos Cuinhane, que é também investigador na Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, em Maputo. Assim, com a linguagem adaptada ao que já era conhecido pela população, o grupo de pesquisa trabalhou com o grupo de teator local Tilápia Star de forma a criar um espéctaculo interactivo que explique o que são doenças zoonóticas, como se transmitem, como podem ser prevenidas e os meios de tratamento possíveis. Neste processo, o grupo de pesquisa apercebeu-se que havia algumas "suspeitas" sobre o papel dos cientistas e dos governantes sobre os alertas feitos em relação a estas doenças, já que muitas promessas ficam por cumprir no que diz respeito à melhoria de condições de vida destas populações. "Nós conseguimos aproximar-nos mais das populações e fazer a sensibilização das comunidades. Nós nos desafiamos definitivamente a fazer advocacia não só a nível da própria comunidade, mas também para o Governo, os gestores dos parques [naturais] ou outras organizações, mas também a meta e sensibilizar os financiadores. Há projectos que não estão a responder àquilo que são as exigências ou as necessidades da própria população. Nós, como actores no meio, tentamos sensibilizar outros atores que são relevantes. Ao longo deste processo, o distrito tinha problemas muito graves em relação, por exemplo, à falta de vacinas contra a raiva e à falta de vacina contra a doença Newscastle que atinge o distrito e não havia nenhuma planificação para o efeito. O próprio distrito não tem mecanismos. Depende do governo provincial. O governo provincial depende do Governo central. Mas devido aos problemas todos ligados à macroestrutura da planificação, eles já não recebiam vacinas há vários anos. Então, em função disso, fizemos uma advocacia. Conseguimos vacinas", explicou o investigador. Em Moçambique, as doenças zoonóticas mais prevalentes, segundo o Centro de Controlo e Prevenção de Doenças (CDC) norte-americano, é a raiva, a tuberculose zoonótiva, a salmonelose, o vírus da gripe aviária zoonótica, a tripanasomose, a brucelose e a febre hemorrágica da Crimeia-Congo, mostrando que a informação sobre estas doenças é essencial para a população, sobretudo junto dos mais vulneráveis como crianças, idosos ou mulheres grávidas. Com o projecto a já ter sido apresentado em quatro localidades, a ideia é agora arrecadar mais financiamento de forma a alargar o raio de acção a mais comunidades na provínicia, e, mais tarde, pensar num projecto a nível nacional. "Em função dos recursos económicos disponíveis, já estamos a negociar com os parceiros para que haja expansão da apresentação da peça teatral e outros mecanismos. Mas há muitas comunidades que estão na zona tampão do Parque Nacional de Limpopo onde também devemos apresentar e houve ainda pedidos também do próprio Governo, depois de ver a peça. O ideal seria abranger todas essas comunidades antes de passarmos para outras províncias", conclui Carlos Cuinhane.

We sat down with two real-life lifesavers whose jobs kick in when everyone else is panicking. Dr Thandeka Ngcana, South Africa’s first Pediatric Neuro-Oncologist, pediatrician, medical oncologist at Chris Hani Baragwanath, former helicopter emergency services doctor — and a mom of two — shared critical medical advice every parent and adult should know. Alongside her was Kyle Nesbitt, Chairman of Search and Rescue South Africa (SARZA) Gauteng, a seasoned volunteer with over a decade of frontline rescue experience, from flood operations in Limpopo to disaster relief missions in Mozambique. Together, they broke down what to actually do in real emergencies: cars trapped in floodwater, choking, head injuries, drowning, snake bites, kids swallowing button batteries, and getting lost while hiking. They busted dangerous myths, explained the biggest mistakes people make under pressure, and highlighted the one simple life-saving skill everyone should learn. It’s practical, calm, expert advice that could one day make the difference between panic… and survival. Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

The historical flooding that has hit the Kruger National Park and other parts of Limpopo and Mpumalanga has been declared a national disaster in South Africa. More than 30 people have reportedly died in Limpopo and Mpumalanga following the floods. Thousands have been left destitute after their homes were submerged, with many residents being moved to temporary shelters. In Mpumalanga alone, assessed damage has exceeded R2 billion, with officials looking to rebuild homes and repair infrastructure. One of the main areas hit by flooding is South Africa's Kruger National Park, which was closed to the public while the world-renowned park experienced historical floods.

The flood-related death toll in Mpumalanga and Limpopo currently stands at 31. In Mpumalanga, 20 people have died, while 17 died in Limpopo. Incidents of drowning continue to emerge from the Phalaborwa, Giyani, and Thohoyandou areas of Limpopo. Heavy rains have battered various parts of the provinces, damaging homes, roads, and bridges. For the latest, Sakina Kamwendo spoke to the Limpopo Cooperative Governance Human Settlements Traditional Affairs MEC, Basikopo Makamu.

Flood devastation grips Limpopo and Mpumalanga as Gift of the Givers intensifies relief efforts by Radio Islam

Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Velenkosini Hlabisa, last night convened an urgent Inter-Governmental Committee on Disaster to discuss the state of the provinces following the devastating floods that have ravaged parts of Mpumalanga and Limpopo. The minister, accompanied by Mpumalanga Premier, Mandla Ndlovu and the National Disaster Management Center team, visited some of the worst affected areas YESTERDAY. This as Mozambican authorities and their South African counterparts continue the search for a South African politician whose vehicle is believed to have been swept away by floods in the neighbouring country. Minister Hlabisa spoke to Bongiwe Zwane

Incessant rains have submerged villages across Limpopo and Mpumalanga, sweeping away homes, cutting off roads and leaving communities isolated and desperate. The Kruger National Park had to suspend visits and evacuate some guests and staff by helicopter. The floods have claimed 11 lives in Limpopo while 20 people have died in Mpumalanga since that start of the heavy rains last month. Besides the human cost, the two provinces now face repair bills to roads, bridges and other public infrastructure that will cost billions of rand, money the provinces simply do not have. An orange level 9 warning has been issued by the South African Weather Service, forecasting yet more rain in affected areas and warning communities to remain alert and to stay clear of roads and overflowing rivers. But with food and other resources running low, many have no option but to brave the flooded, damaged and dangerous roads. To get more details about the weather in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to South African Weather Service forecaster, Amukelani Mkhari

The family of 20-year-old Lindelani Munyai, the Limpopo woman who was swept away while attempting to cross a flooded river in Thoyandou, hopes that he is still alive. The Chitawa Mafefera village resident is believed to have been crossing the Mutale River with his father when the incident occurred. Rescue teams have been deployed to the area and are continuing the search for him. The area is one of the hardest hit by floods that have left a total of eleven people dead in that province since the heavy rains began last Christmas day. For a look at the humanitarian situation on the ground, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Director of Communication at the Limpopo Department of Co-operative Governance, Human Settlement and Traditional Affrairs, Tsakani Baloyi

Severe flooding in parts of Limpopo Province and neighbouring areas of South Africa has forced evacuations, washed out roads and homes, and tragically claimed the lives of dozens of people as relentless heavy rain pushes rivers beyond their banks; in Limpopo officials have reported multiple deaths connected to the floods, including children, and communities are struggling with waterlogged infrastructure and disrupted services. In response to the disaster, President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the hardest-hit areas to assess the damage, meet with affected families and local leaders, and oversee the government’s emergency response efforts as the province remains under a highest-level weather warning with ongoing rain and relief work continuing.

Die Hooggeregshof in Polokwane het 'n sakeman van Limpopo, Rameez Patel, tot lewenslange tronkstraf gevonnis vir die moord op sy vrou, Fatima, in 2015. Hy het ook vyf jaar ontvang vir die onwettige besit van 'n vuurwapen en drie jaar vir ammunisie. Regter Joseph Raulinga het bevind Patel het geen berou getoon nie en bewerings dat daar indringers was verwerp. Die streekswoordvoerder van die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag, Mashudu Malabi, het die vonnis verwelkom as 'n sterk standpunt teen geslagsgeweld:

In this episode, chartered accountant Desry Lesele, driven by his Limpopo farm roots and role as Nedbank's senior agriculture manager, shows farmers how to conquer rising costs, weather volatility, and tight margins with tailored financial tools for growth and resilience.From witnessing his grandmother's struggles growing sorghum and maize, Lesele crafts solutions against input price surges, grain oversupply, and climate threats risking 40% yield losses, urging early banker ties, tech investments, and diversification.He insists that farmers should treat farming as a business by tracking records, planning strategically, and using finance as a survival edge for food security and rural jobs.
