‘When it suits them, Paul Mashatile is useless, today he is the best’- Lamola hits back at Malema – The Citizen
Justice minister Ronald Lamola has hit out at EFF leader Julius Malema’s backing of ANC treasurer-general, Paul Mashatile, to become the next president of the party.
Lamola was responding to Malema, who last week said the red beret-wearing party would be open to entering coalitions with the ANC after the 2024 elections if Mashatile is elected president.
Lamola said when it suited the EFF, they berate Mashatile as a “schemer” and “useless” yet “today Paul Mashatile is the best, and he must lead the ANC.” The justice minister quipped back at Malema and said his deputy, Floyd Shivambu should take over as party leader. Read more here.

Boerewors has to meet a very specific set of standards for it to be labelled and sold as such in South Africa after the government introduced new regulations to the Agricultural Product Standards (APS) Act.
The regulations govern the classification, packing, and marking of certain raw processed meat products. Boerewors must have a minimum total meat content of 90% and a fat content of no more than 30%.
Cereal or starch, vinegar, spices, herbs or salt, food additives, and water are the only other ingredients allowed. Read more here.
