A truck driver has been killed in a crash on the south coast. It took place this afternoon on the N2 between Ezzin Galuennie and Harding. The road traffic inspector says the driver is believed to have lost control of the truck, causing it to roll. The KZN Premier's office has raised the alarm about fake job adverts being circulated on social media. It says the posts resemble the appearance of those originally issued in August last year under the Stetta YOIA recruitment drive, spokesperson Bongi Guailar. "They are not new at all, and the recruitment processes have been concluded. They are not being re-adverized. These social media adverts are not sanctioned by the Guazunatal provincial government, and are the work of unscrupulous and mischievous individuals seeking to exploit the aspirations and honest South Africans who are diligently searching for employment or considering career changes." Guailar says legitimate vacancies are advertised through the official e-recruitment system, which is www.KZN online.gov.zero/KZN jobs. The Automobile Association says the new ministers must step up government's service to citizens. The AA has been reacting to the new national cabinet, spokesperson Layton Beard. "It is incumbent on government to provide efficient and effective services for all citizens, and the new cabinet now has an opportunity to seriously address any shortcomings of the past. We welcome the appointment of the new cabinet and trust the ministers. New and re-appointed will work with organizations such as ours to the benefit of all South Africans." Alliance on the loose near the Kruger National Park in Bumalanga, authorities there said was last spotted in the Matsulu area outside in Bombella on Saturday. The province's tourism and parks agency has warned the public not to try to catch or kill the line if they come across it. It's urged that they alert authorities and says an experienced team is on standby to capture it. Futhera field, Mauritania's president, Muhammad old Sheikh Al Ghazwani, has comfortably won re-election. He received 56% of the vote in the first round of the presidential poll. The victory gives the former army chief a second term as head of the vast northwest African desert country. His main rival, Biram Da Abe, who won 22% of the votes in Saturday's election, says he will not recognize the result. He's accused the electoral commission of being manipulated by the government. And the US Supreme Court has ruled Donald Trump is immune from prosecution for acts he carried out as president. Justices have extended the delay in the criminal case against him on charges he plotted to overturn the election in 2020. It will now be sent to a lower court to work out what to do next. Skye's James Matthews explains. "This states that there are protections for president in the decisions that are made in the Oval Office and many legal analysts who are making the immediate interpretation that this shrinks the protections from a corrupt president."
