Civil rights group AfriForum launched a court challenge declaring South Africa's National Health Insurance Act unconstitutional, serving summons on Wednesday to President Cyril Ramaphosa, Health Minister Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi, the finance minister, and the National Assembly speaker. They held their press conference at the derelict Kempton Park Hospital—closed since 1996 and costing millions to guard yearly—as a symbol of potential state-run failures. AfriForum argues the Act, signed in May 2024 to pool funds for universal coverage, violates rights by limiting patient choice, doctor independence, provincial powers, and lacks funding viability at 10% of GDP amid fiscal strains.

Moses Edwards, 45, from Wanstead, faces arson with intent to endanger life after a fire on May 5 at the East London Central Synagogue on Nelson Street.
