Gugulethu
Residents in the Gugulethu informal settlement in Springs have been digging for gold in a cattle enclosure since last week, following rumours of gold particles. Authorities from the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources and the City of Ekurhuleni have issued warnings against these illegal activities due to safety and environmental risks.

Community leaders in Gugulethu held a peace march against rising crime, but faced disappointing attendance from residents. Attributing the low turnout to the festive season, they proceeded with discussions on tackling extortion, gang violence, and other social issues. The area continues to grapple with mass shootings and fear among locals.
