Her move is driven by the threat of targeted power grid attacks that would leave homes without heating during the next cold season. Weeks of searching led her to a modest village devoid of industry or railways. This story underscores how civilians are reshaping their daily lives to survive ever‑increasing wartime hardships.

On Thursday, anti‑immigration protests in Soweto and Durban escalated into violence, with 24 vehicles set ablaze and several foreign‑owned shops looted. The unrest follows a Constitutional Court ruling allowing certain illegal entrants to apply for asylum, sparking anger in communities already struggling with poverty and unemployment. Police fired rubber bullets to disperse crowds, arrested three foreign nationals, and deployed reinforcements, yet several properties were damaged. This latest flare‑up comes amid a history of xenophobic attacks that killed more than 60 people in 2008 and continually tests South Africa’s social cohesion.

Fort Hood survivor Alonzo Lunsford, who was shot in the 2009 attack that killed 13 soldiers, says a firing‑squad execution of former psychiatrist Nidal Hasan would be “befitting”.  He warns that livestreaming the execution would give younger viewers a disturbing spectacle.  Only a few survive the Pentagon’s announcement released this week, legal experts say the livestream could be halted in court.  Lunsford, who has forgiven Hasan as a Christian, recalls the horror he endured and stresses that the method should match the crime’s severity.
