Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla: Ex-South African president Jacob Zuma's daughter faces terrorism charges

The daughter of ex-South African president Jacob Zuma has appeared in court after being charged over her alleged involvement in July 2021 riots, which left over 300 people dead.
Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla is accused of inciting others to carry out violent acts through her social media posts that month.
The 42-year-old, who is a member of parliament, handed herself into a police station in the eastern city of Durban on Thursday morning.
She faces charges of incitement to commit terrorism and incitement to commit public violence under a law that deals with threats to the state, prosecutors say.
The MP is accused of urging protesters to cause more damage during the riots as a sign of support for her father.
She was later released on warning - similar to bail but without a money payment - as her case was moved to a higher court to continue in March.
Her lawyer said she did make social media posts on what was then known as Twitter related to the riots but denied they incited violence.
The unrest broke out four years ago after her father, who served as president from 2009 to 2018, was jailed for contempt of court after refusing to testify at a government corruption inquiry.
The violence was also partly down to poverty, inequality and frustrations over South Africa's COVID-19 lockdown measures at the time.
Brigadier Thandi Mbambo, who leads the Hawks special police unit, said the arrest was "a result of a meticulous investigation... following the unrest that brought the country to a standstill in 2021".
Around 350 people died in the demonstrations, as thousands of shops were looted, more than 5,000 people were arrested, and over £1.5bn of damage was caused.
It marked some of the worst civil unrest in South Africa since the end of the apartheid system of white minority rule in 1994.
Zuma, 82, also appeared in court on Thursday, while supporters of his uMKhonto weSizwe (MK) Party gathered outside.
He served two months in prison for contempt of court but has also been charged with corruption, racketeering, fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering over an arms deal the South African government signed with a French arms maker in 1999. He denies any wrongdoing.

The former president founded the new party in 2024, years after he was expelled from the African National Congress (ANC) party for being jailed.
In last year's election, MK won 14.6% of the vote, as the ruling ANC had its worst-ever result.

Tech Founder Pledges to Leave $17 Billion Fortune to His 106 Children

Originally appeared on E! Online Pavel Durov is leaving a special message in his family group chat. The Telegram founder recently revealed that he's dividing his massive fortune—an estimated $17.1 billion, per Forbes—between all 106 of his children. 'I want to specify that I make no difference between my children: There are those who were conceived naturally and those who come from my sperm donations,' Durov, 40, told French outlet Le Point in an interview published June 19. 'They are all my children and will all have the same rights. I don't want them to tear each other apart after my death.' Indeed, the Russian tech mogul explained that he's the 'official father' of six children from three different partners. Meanwhile, he decided to 'help a friend' by becoming a sperm donor nearly 15 years ago, resulting in him fathering 100 kids across 12 countries. More from E!

In fact, Durov—who launched Telegram, a cloud-based messaging app, alongside his brother Nikolai Durov in 2013—noted his offspring will not have access to their inheritances until '30 years' after the day of his interview with the French publication. 'I want them to live like normal people,' he continued, 'to build themselves up alone, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create, not to be dependent on a bank account.' This revelation comes months after the billionaire was arrested and charged in France with enabling illegal crimes, ranging from child sex abuse material and drug trafficking, to occur on his platform last August. While Durov is out on bail, he faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted, according to the New York Times. As for his growing fortune, Durov isn't the only billionaire that's been open about passing down assets to their next of kin. In fact, Bill Gates—who shares kids Jennifer, 28, Rory, 25, and Phoebe, 22, with ex-wife Melinda French Gates—revealed he's leaving 'less than one percent' of his reported $116 billion fortune to his family, which amounts to over $1 billion. 'It's not a dynasty,' he explained on Raj Shamani's Figuring Out podcast in March, noting that giving his children a larger portion 'wouldn't be a favor to them.' 'I'm not asking them to run Microsoft. I want to give them a chance to have their own earnings and success, be significant and not overshadowed by the incredible luck and good fortune I had.'

JD Vance Becomes Most Blocked Person on BlueSky Days After Joining App

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Vice President JD Vance became the most blocked user on Bluesky days after joining the social media platform. According to ClearSky, a data tracker that monitors user activity, Vance has been blocked by over 111,000 users—the highest total since the app launched last February. Vance's rapid block tally eclipsed the previous record held by journalist Jesse Singal, who had 81,270 blocks as of Friday. Newsweek contacted representatives for Vance to comment on this story. Why It Matters Bluesky, launched by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in 2021 and made public in 2024, has become a popular alternative to Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter, which reflects deepening divides in American online communities. Once X adopted less stringent content moderation after Musk acquired the platform, many left-leaning and LGBTQ+ users joined Bluesky, believing it to be more inclusive environment and progressive moderation policies. Vice President JD Vance speaks at the American Compass's The New World Gala in Washington, Tuesday, June 3, 2025. Vice President JD Vance speaks at the American Compass's The New World Gala in Washington, Tuesday, June 3, 2025. AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein Following Donald Trump's 2024 electoral victory and additional shifts on X, Bluesky's user base climbed from 10 million to 30 million between November 2024 and May 2025, the New York Post reported. What To Know JD Vance joined Bluesky on June 18, 2025. In his first post, he wrote: "I've been told this app has become the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis. So I'm thrilled to be here to engage with all of you," He then referenced the recent Supreme Court decision upholding Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, writing: "I found Justice Clarence Thomas's concurrence on medical care for transgender youth quite illuminating," and suggesting that " are receiving substantial resources from big pharma to push these medicines on kids." Vance's account was suspended within 12 minutes due to Bluesky's automated impersonation-detection system, but it was reinstated and verified soon after. What People Are Saying Jennifer Stromer-Galley, professor in the school of information studies at Syracuse University told Newsweek: Vance "could improve his standing on social media by stopping his trolling of science, expertise, and transgender youth. BlueSky is the social media platform where left-leaning people have congregated as they fled X. Vance created his account and in his first post attacks science and support for gender-affirming care. So, no surprise he was blocked widely on BlueSky." Scott Talan, senior professorial lecturer public communication at American University in Washington D.C told Newsweek: "It is not surprising at all as Bluesky is predominantly populated by left leaning users and the Vice President has made numerous comments that many on the Left would find to be oppositional at the minimum. "Social media in its earlier life was promised to be a place for 'conversation' and connection. Today's politics is more polarized and hyper partisan. So, on social media political points are made versus any sort of substantive discussion. Blocking JD Vance fits this perfectly. This said, some may argue he went on Bluesky to troll users there. He's joining the party on that site rather late in the game and he couldn't expect to warmly welcomed there." George Takei, actor and activist, posted to his 1.2 million followers: "Treat JD Vance on Bluesky like we did Donald's birthday parade. Ignore it, don't show up to watch it, and he will soon become sad and dejected" (The Daily Beast, June 19, 2025). Jesse Singal, journalist, joked about losing his status as most-blocked user: "This isn't happening. You work hard your whole life to achieve something great and then some idiot can just come along and snatch it." What Happens Next With Vance's account now the most blocked in Bluesky's history, he will struggle to reach a wide userbase Whether Vance will continue using Bluesky—or shift his focus back to X or other social media platforms.

Trump says we have ‘too many non-working holidays.' He has declared these working holidays

President Donald Trump said the U.S. has "too many non-working holidays," but he hasn't shied away from other holiday proclamations. In an apparent critique of Juneteenth, Trump said in a June 19 Truth Social post that non-working holidays are costing billions of dollars to keep businesses closed. Private companies are not forced to close on federal holidays like Juneteenth, which commemorates events of June 19, 1865, when the last Black people enslaved by the Confederacy were ordered free. Trump has railed against the number of paid holidays for federal workers in the past, while also proclaiming new holidays. Trump says 'too many non-working holidays' Trump's post on Juneteenth criticized the number of federal holidays, which most federal workers have as paid holidays. There are 12 federal holidays in 2025; most federal holidays have been created by legislation passed through Congress. But during his second presidency, Trump has issued other holiday proclamations, which would not be paid holidays, to recognize special days like: "We already have too many Holidays in America," he wrote in a May 5 Truth Social post when announcing the holidays for WWI and WWII. "There are not enough days left in the year. We were Workers then, and we are Workers now!" Did Trump acknowledge Juneteenth? Trump's 2025 Truth Social post did not mention Juneteenth. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked by reporters earlier in the day whether Trump was expected to commemorate Juneteenth. 'I'm not tracking his signature on a proclamation today," she responded. "I know this is a federal holiday." As of June 20, no Juneteenth proclamation has been released from the White House. Trump has previously honored Juneteenth, including in his first term as president. But Trump created controversy in 2020 after scheduling his first rally since COVID-19 lockdowns in Tulsa, Oklahoma – the site of one of the worst massacres of Black Americans in the country's history – on Juneteenth. He later changed the date of the event. What are the federal 'non-working' holidays? According to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, here is the full list of U.S. federal holidays in 2025: Contributing: Jeanine Santucci, Saman Shafiq, Melina Khan, Cheryl McCloud, C.A.
