R3 billion going to South Africa’s police and courts to fight crime and corruption

South Africa has received a significant boost in its fight against crime and corruption, with R3 billion allocated to the police and courts. This funding is part of a broader effort to enhance the country's law enforcement capabilities, including the expansion of labour inspectors and measures to strengthen border control. The move comes after South Africa was removed from the European Union's list of high-risk third-country jurisdictions in 2026, marking a significant improvement in its international standing.
