## Resource

Protests in Johannesburg stayed surprisingly calm despite fears of chaos, with heavy police presence, drones, and even army deployment later in the day. Meanwhile, MK MP Vusi Shongwe dropped a bombshell, accusing suspended police chief Feroz Khan of trying to bribe him with 10 million rand to silence a parliamentary probe—and dig up dirt on KwaZulu-Natal’s top cop. On the political front, President Ramaphosa reshuffled the cabinet, giving DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis a major win as his party’s ministers were reorganized in the government of national unity.
