Crime & Accidents News
31 October 2025

From global politics and climate change to events that affect our wallets — like why petrol prices rise or where conflicts are happening — international news impacts us all. Do you keep track of what’s happening around the world, or do you mostly focus on local stories closer to home?

“I definitely follow international news! Global changes can have a big impact on South Africa’s economy, so I like to stay up to date with what’s happening around the world. We were even planning a trip to Phuket, but with the recent flooding and the Queen’s passing, we’ve decided to postpone it for now.” 
Brigette Groenewald, Rustenburg
“Yes, keeping track of what’s happening abroad helps me stay informed and aware of the world around us — because many international events end up affecting our own country.” 
Kealeboga Nkwe, Rustenburg
