Investigations into ‘farmgate’ scandal clear South Africa’s beleaguered Ramaphosa of wrongdoing
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has been cleared of wrongdoing by two investigations into the 'farmgate' scandal, which involved the theft of a large sum of money from his game farm. The South African Revenue Service and the public sector ombudsman found no evidence of misconduct in Ramaphosa's handling of the incident. The scandal had previously threatened his political career and his bid for reelection as leader of the ANC. The police's priority crime unit, the Hawks, is still investigating the matter, with no conclusion yet.

The crime family at the centre of Asia's animal trafficking network
Nakhon Phanom in north-east Thailand serves as a crucial hub in the global animal trafficking network due to its strategic location. The Bach family, particularly brothers Bach Mai and Bach Van Limh, control this gateway, smuggling wildlife from Africa and Asia into Vietnam and China. The investigation, led by the counter-trafficking organization Freeland, reveals the involvement of three Lao companies—Xeosavang, Vinasakhone, and Vannaseng—in illegal wildlife trade. Despite the arrest of key trafficker Chumlong Lemonthai and the decline of Vixay Keosavang, the trade continues, with the Bachs and other companies still active. The article highlights the ongoing challenges in combating wildlife trafficking and the need for cross-border police action.

Poacher: journalist Kimon de Greef’s study of illegal abalone trade suffers from narrow world view
The illegal abalone trade in South Africa, driven by high demand from Chinese buyers, has been explored in 'Poacher', co-authored by journalist Kimon de Greef and former poacher Shuhood Abader. The book details the dangerous and often deadly work of poachers, the involvement of organized crime, and the impact on local communities and marine ecosystems. It also touches on the corruption within anti-poaching agencies and the transition of illegal abalone into a legal product in Hong Kong. However, the review criticizes the book for focusing too narrowly on personal anecdotes and not sufficiently addressing the broader implications of the trade.

Drop-shipping is a lifeline for unemployed graduates in South Africa
Unemployed graduates in South Africa are turning to drop-shipping as a means of income, leveraging low-cost Chinese goods from platforms like AliExpress and Shein. Despite its profitability, the practice faces significant risks due to crackdowns by South African authorities on illegal imports. The unemployment crisis, with nearly 32% of the population jobless, has driven many to this business model, which requires minimal investment. However, the regulatory environment poses challenges, with frequent raids and confiscations by police and tax authorities. Experts highlight the socioeconomic implications and the need for legal compliance in e-commerce.
