Residents from Thembalethu marched to the Garden Route District Municipality offices in George, in the Western Cape, on Friday, saying the government must do more to enforce immigration, labour and business laws. A memorandum of grievances was handed over to officials after the march. Organiser of the march, Bathini Malonola, says illegal immigration, unlicensed businesses and labour law violations are putting pressure on local communities.

Residents of Hornlee and surrounding communities in Knysna in the Western Cape will soon have access to improved healthcare services, following the official opening of a new R48.7 million clinic.
