South Africa election: Mbeki promises to rid ANC of 'rotten apples': South Africa's former president hits out at corruption within the governing party.

Quick Glance: Support for South Africa's ANC around 40% before elections

An Ipsos poll revealed that support for South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC) has dropped to just over 40%, weeks before an election that could bring about significant political change.

While the ANC is still expected to secure the most votes on May 29, falling below 50% would require seeking coalition partners to govern, marking the first such alliance since Nelson Mandela led the party to power 30 years ago.

The survey was based on face-to-face interviews with 2,545 registered voters across all nine provinces in March and April, boasting a margin of error of 1.9% at a 95% confidence level.

The poll also highlighted rising voter discontent due to issues like unemployment, corruption, crime, and poor services, with the ANC considering potential coalition partners such as the economically liberal DA and the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

Laurence Fox told to pay £180,000 in libel damages: Mrs Justice Collins Rice says the actor's comments were "gross, groundless and indefensible".

Quick Glance: Laurence Fox ordered to pay damages for libel

Actor-turned-politician Laurence Fox has been instructed to pay £90,000 in damages to two individuals he labeled as 'paedophiles' on social media.

Following a libel dispute in the High Court, he is now required to pay a total of £180,000.

During an exchange over Sainsbury's decision to recognize Black History Month in October 2020, Fox referred to Mr. Blake and Crystal as 'paedophiles.'

In a prior ruling in January, Fox's counterclaims were rejected, and judgment was made in favor of Mr. Blake and Mr. Seymour.

Quick Glance: Court Rejects Trump's Bid for New Trial Against E. Jean Carroll

A federal judge rejected former President Donald Trump’s request for a new trial—or to throw out the $83.3 million defamation ruling—against writer E. Jean Carroll, marking the latest legal loss for the former president.

In the Thursday ruling rejecting the request for a new trial or the judgment to be dismissed, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Trump’s argument was “without merit,” made “conspicuously without success” and “defies common sense.”

Robbie Kaplan, Carroll’s lawyer, told Forbes in a statement they are “pleased with though not surprised by” the court’s decision, adding the award was “entirely reasonable” because of Trump’s continued defamation, “hatred and disdain.”

In January, a jury determined Trump had to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages after she accused him of sexual assault. Previously, another jury found Trump liable for sexual assault in the 1990s and subsequent defamation, ordering him to pay $5 million.

The Gateway Pundit, known for spreading falsehoods and conspiracy theories, has filed for bankruptcy and is facing multiple defamation lawsuits.

The owners, Jim and Joe Hoft, are dealing with lawsuits from Georgia election workers and a former Dominion Voting Systems official.

Jim Hoft stated that the bankruptcy is to consolidate lawsuits, although Chapter 11 bankruptcies are primarily meant to assist small businesses in restructuring.

Despite delays, legal proceedings have significant impacts on sites like Infowars and The Gateway Pundit, as juries do not tolerate powerful individuals spreading lies and disrupting lives.
