Processing Gets Faster: South Africa’s virtual priority court in Durban has processed about 80 deportation orders, while eThekwini and justice/home affairs stakeholders plan interventions over the next 72 hours to speed up screening, court appearances, transport and deportations. On-the-Ground Hardship: Reports from Sherwood describe overcrowding, poor sanitation and clashes with police as people demand direct transport home; authorities say thousands remain camped while verification continues. Tourism & Conservation Win: Zambia-based Green Safaris’ 10th anniversary highlights conservation-led tourism that funds wildlife protection and community projects, with government praising its long-term model.
