Immigration Tensions (Home Affairs): Parties are pushing back on Leon Schreiber’s deportation push, accusing Home Affairs of racial profiling and uneven enforcement, including claims that “digital nomads” are treated differently. Hantavirus Watch (Global, with SA links): The U.S. CDC says 16 more people are being monitored for hantavirus after exposure tied to travel involving Johannesburg; meanwhile, Europe is also tightening quarantine enforcement after a British tourist was detained in Italy for breaking isolation rules. Court Date (Brown Mogotsi): North West businessman Brown Mogotsi is due in court over an alleged staged assassination plot, with his lawyers complaining about conditions in custody. World Cup Build-Up (South Africa in the mix): South Korea released its 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, with Son Heung-min set for his fourth tournament—South Africa is in Group A. Travel & Tourism (SA): SAA says it’s betting on more intra-Africa travel as it plans new routes and fleet growth.
