Last update: 8 hours ago

South Africa Jobs & Skills: NSFAS won a court fight to end unconstitutional student-allowance contracts, voiding a R49bn tender and ordering compensation—another reminder that funding systems need tighter controls. Migration & Work: South Africa’s crackdown has hit employment and services hard, with reports of 40,000+ foreign nationals arrested since the start of 2026 and thousands more repatriated amid rising xenophobic tensions. Labour Market Pressure (Kenya): Kenya’s outsourcing shock is laid bare as Meta ends a contract, leaving 1,108 workers facing job loss and income collapse—highlighting how tech and outsourcing decisions ripple into rent, school fees and savings. Workplace Fraud: South Africa’s Medical Association warns of increasingly sophisticated fake-doctor schemes, calling for stronger credential checks across public and private care. Social Protection Scam: Sassa grant recipients are reportedly being tricked into signing funeral policies via “food voucher” deception, with unauthorised deductions targeting vulnerable households. Youth Employment Reality (SA): Analysts and former Stats SA leadership point to stubborn unemployment and policy gaps—especially for young people—despite official data showing the crisis is worsening. Counterfeit Crackdown (SA): Mpumalanga raids seized over R2m in fake goods and arrested multiple suspects, including undocumented foreign nationals tied to illegal employment.
