Since the news was shared that South Africa hopes to bring the F1 back to its shores in 2027, Cape Town and Johannesburg have been fighting about who would have the privilege of hosting the race. It's been over three decades since the F1 engines have roared on African tarmac but the cities are getting their fists out and staking their claim on the potential race. The competition is between two tracks – a street circuit in Cape Town and the historic Kyalami race track outside of Johannesburg (where the race was last held in 1993). Committee member Mlimandlela Ndamase told AFP they will choose the winning bid in the third quarter of 2025. "The Grand Prix is definitely coming in 2027, no doubt about that. Whether it is Cape Town or Joburg, we do not care as long as the Grand Prix is coming to South Africa”, Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie. While a street circuit could be very exciting the challenging Kyalami circuit offers 30km of zigzags and excitement. Rwanda and Nigeria (Abuja) have also thrown their hats into the ring.

Deportation efforts are picking up steam in the United States of America, and they could have a direct impact on South Africa. That’s the fear of many following the United States of America’s latest rounds of deportations. The U.S. Homeland Security Department confirmed on Tuesday, 15 July 2025, that a flight carrying immigrants from different countries had landed in Eswatini. The move comes after the US Supreme Court lifted the limits on deportation to third countries. In a post shared to X (formerly Twitter), the Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin stated that the men were extremely dangerous. She also shared photos of the men, adding that they had been convicted of crimes ranging from child rape to murder. It’s unclear at this stage whether the men served all or part of their sentence in the US, or what will happen to them in Eswatini. The United States has a mixed relationship with Africa. In March 2025, Trump mocked Lesotho, claiming that no one had ever heard of the country. He also plans to slap South Africa with a 30% tariff hike from 1 August. Social media users weighed in on the United States' decision, reflecting on what it meant for South Africa. ![]()

Chinese e-commerce company Temu has launched a warehouse in South Africa as part of its efforts to ensure faster delivery and broader product selection for consumers. The move will intensify competition for South African e-commerce companies, such as Naspers-owned Takealot, as well as international players like Amazon. "Shoppers in South Africa can now receive their Temu orders in as little as one day, thanks to the e-commerce platform's new local warehouse dispatch option," the Chinese company said in a statement. Temu stated that by shortening delivery times, the local warehouse model provides South African shoppers with greater convenience and peace of mind. "It also enables Temu to offer new product categories, such as furniture, home goods, and other bulkier items, that were previously less accessible due to international shipping constraints," the company added. A Temu spokesperson said the company launched in the USA in 2022 and entered the South African market in 2024, and now operates in over 90 markets worldwide. Temu's local warehouse dispatch service has already been introduced in countries across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and now Africa. The spokesperson, however, added that Temu does not own warehouses but works with trusted third-party logistics providers. "Under the local fulfillment model, sellers store inventory in local warehouses, manage logistics, and provide after-sales support, allowing for faster delivery and more responsive service," the spokesperson said. The South African e-commerce ecosystem has seen tremendous growth in recent years and Temu faces competition from both local and global companies. In July 2024, South African retailer Shoprite Holdings launched an online bulk shopping and delivery service platform for small businesses, including informal stores like spaza shops. This followed American company Amazon launching its online marketplace in South Africa in May 2024. Temu's focus on growth in South Africa is in line with data from Statista, which forecasts that revenue in South Africa's e-commerce market will reach US$7.32 billion by the end of 2025. Statista said revenue is expected to show an annual growth rate of 9.49%, resulting in a market volume of $10.52 billion by 2029.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7iGQvIbfjg?feature=shared The Department of Transport and two provinces plan to launch South Africa’s first rail network for long-distance high-speed rail (HSR) in 2030, TopAuto reports. The transport department and the Gauteng and Limpopo provincial governments recently provided an update on the project’s progress. The Limpopo-Gauteng Speed Train project is currently undergoing feasibility and environmental impact studies. Construction on the 500km north-south railway is expected to start in late 2026, with the first trains on the network operational by 2030. The planned line will run from Pretoria at its southernmost point to Musina in the far north of Limpopo (on the border with Zimbabwe), passing through Hammanskraal, Bela-Bela, Mokopane, Polokwane, and Louis Trichardt along the way. The first phase of the project will focus on a section between Pretoria and Polokwane, the capital city of Limpopo. It currently takes about two and a half to three hours to cover this route in a car via the N1, assuming there are no delays due to traffic or congestion at toll gates along the freeway. The “speed train,” often referred to as a “bullet train” by President Cyril Ramaphosa, will supposedly be able to cover the first section in one hour and 30 minutes — cutting an hour from the car journey time. The distance between Pretoria and Polokwane is roughly 265km, so the train should travel at an average speed of 177km/h along this stretch. While this is somewhat below the speeds of HSR services, the train would only need to exceed 200km/h on the fastest sections of the line to technically qualify as a “bullet train”. The Limpopo-Gauteng Speed Train will be rolled out alongside the second phase expansion of the Gautrain, which will see the high-speed commuter service’s network expand from 80km to 230km. However, the HSR master plan is only expected to be finalised by the end of 2025. This means the timeline could change. Former transport minister Sibusiso Ndebele first championed plans to launch a long-distance HSR line in South Africa in 2010. President Ramaphosa reaffirmed the country’s plans for the service in his 2019 State of the Nation Address (SONA). “We should imagine a country where bullet trains pass through Johannesburg as they travel from here to Musina, and they stop in Buffalo City on their way from eThekwini back here,” he said. Former transport director-general Alec Moemi said South Africa’s HSR framework had already been deployed and implemented and was anticipated to launch in 2025. The Johannesburg to Durban corridor was prioritised for a detailed feasibility study, as the government believes it presents a lucrative opportunity for competition with airlines. Ramaphosa said Johannesburg-Polokwane to Musina (to Zimbabwe border) and Johannesburg to Mbombela (to Mozambique border) will be put to the market,” the president said. While the government has said it will fully fund the project, big questions remain regarding its budget. Estimates put the cost of the Johannesburg-Durban HSR line alone at around $30 billion (R533.8 billion). However, the cost of the other most recent major railway project in South Africa — the Gautrain network — was grossly underestimated. The transport department, provincial governments, and private investors are working to secure the funding and finalise the technical plans. China has indicated interest in investing in the line between Johannesburg and Durban. The country has substantial experience and expertise in HSR. The South African government expects its HSR project to have a substantial positive economic impact, especially for job creation and tourism. In addition to passengers, the Gauteng Provincial Government previously said the train will be used to transport high-value goods and perishable foods.

Ruke1990:Lol, if you've got so many options then why are you hellbent on dying at the hands of xenophobes in SA? Reeks of desperation. Keep telling yourself you're a 'traveller' - you're more a beggar especially now under tinubulation. |
KingCold:They sculptured Table Mountain, brought snow and fine weather, invented the various black cultures and converged the Indian + Atlantic oceans at the Cape of Good Hope😏😏😏 |
Jieta2:So you're triggered and then rush in your millions to help it trend? All hail mighty SA😂😂😂 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dLNcD27qM8?si=wSKS-i00nDcpPSCf Proudly South African has launched an e-commerce site in partnership with the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (dtic). The intent is to “bolster public and commercial support for locally manufactured goods and services in line with the drive to ramp up localisation of the economy”. The two-pronged initiative comprises a business-to-consumer online store named Shop Proudly SA. It will be accompanied by a business-to-business (B2B) online platform, the Market Access Platform (MAP). It will service corporate buyers, helping them meet their localisation targets with access to a database of over 2 000 enterprises spanning diverse industries that have been vetted and accredited by Proudly South African. “At Proudly South African, we have always sought innovative ways of galvanising public support for local enterprises to enable them to scale up, become globally competitive and create jobs,” said Eustace Mashimbye, chief executive of Proudly South African, in a press release. “To that end, we believe that e-commerce has immense potential to overcome traditional barriers to trade and create new opportunities for businesses and consumers alike. Through this intervention, we are harnessing technology as a catalyst for ramping up support for homegrown products and for companies whose manufacturing infrastructure and operations create jobs locally.” Mashimbye added that the platforms would ensure a seamless process for consumers and supply chain management practitioners to source from local companies while also enabling them to meet their procurement goals. The launch of these initiatives would mitigate against the high failure rate of small and medium sized businesses in South Africa, said Mashimbye, which has at times been attributed to access to market challenges and has been exacerbated by an increasing challenging economic environment, an influx of cheap imports, and consumer’s rapidly declining disposable income. Parks Tau, Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition (dtic) concurred: “These platforms will help boost support for Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) and locally manufactured goods and services and create much-needed jobs and grow the resilience of our economy”. The platforms will give entrepreneurs the ability to expand their market beyond their geographical confines and negate the capital outlay required for a brick-and-mortar outlet. In turn, it enables them to expand their businesses and create employment opportunities across the e-commerce value chain for millions of young people who are swelling the ranks of the unemployed. Future plans include expanding the transactional online store into a Business to Business platform, and adding export capability to it, with the support of the dtic.
