South Africa Floods: At least 49 people are confirmed dead after catastrophic flooding hit South Africa’s Eastern Cape province. Among the victims are six high school students whose bus was swept away in a raging river. With homes submerged, roads destroyed, and more bodies being found, officials fear the toll will rise. Power outages affect hundreds of thousands, while disaster teams scramble to assist. Extreme weather—rain and snow—has devastated multiple provinces. Authorities have activated emergency services in both Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal to respond to one of the deadliest flood disasters in years.

Elon Musk's resignation from the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has ignited a firestorm on social media, with many questioning his American citizenship. Despite being a naturalized U.S. citizen since 2002, Musk's South African birth has led to renewed scrutiny over his national identity and role in U.S. governance. Musk announced his departure via his platform, X, after a 130-day tenure aimed at reducing federal spending. His exit followed public criticism of President Trump's "big beautiful bill," which Musk argued would exacerbate the federal deficit, undermining DOGE's objectives.

A tense exchange erupted during a White House briefing as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Donald Trump's controversial video shown to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. NBC's Yamiche Alcindor challenged the clip’s accuracy, saying it falsely portrayed a genocide of white farmers. The video featured dozens of crosses, allegedly representing slain farmers—though Alcindor noted they honored a single couple. Leavitt pushed back, claiming white South Africans are being killed and persecuted due to race. The moment underscores rising tensions around Trump’s rhetoric on race and global narratives.
