Norway’s Crown Princess Undergoes Successful Lung Transplant, Palace Says

In Durban, a group of illegal migrants at an informal settlement has been harassed by local residents wielding machetes and whips, prompting one family to flee to an open field where a crowd of 7,000 people—largely Malawian—has gathered to seek repatriation. The protests, backed by the March‑and‑March movement and other anti‑migrant groups, call for a 30 June deadline for migrants to leave South Africa, and have raised concerns of a return to xenophobic violence. President Cyril Ramaphosa has warned that the government will not tolerate intimidation or scapegoating of vulnerable people, insisting on a calm, lawful response while proposing measures such as a quota for citizenship and tighter enforcement of the Immigration Act.

Luigi Mangione, charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson, will present a psychiatric defence in his upcoming state trial.  His lawyers have argued that he suffered from extreme emotional disturbance at the time of the shooting, a claim that could shift a murder conviction to manslaughter if accepted by a jury.  Judge Gregory Carro will release court records relating to the defence plan, and the trial is set to begin on September 8.  Mangione, already facing federal stalking charges that could carry a life sentence, previously had federal murder charges dropped earlier this year.

Mohammed Saidu, a station keeper in Kano, was sentenced to 14 days in prison and fined 100,000 naira after neighbours complained that he was hoarding bags of human faeces in front of his house. The waste, used as fertiliser in the region, was left unattended and produced an overwhelming stench that made life unbearable for residents. Saidu pleaded guilty to endangering public health and the magistrate ordered him to clear all waste and pledge not to repeat the offence. The case has improved the neighbourhood’s quality of life and highlighted the need for community engagement in waste management.
