Ben Shelton has been named ATP Mover of the Week after defending his National Bank Open title in Montreal on August 14, 2026. The 23-year-old American won the Canadian Masters 1000 without dropping a set, beating Brandon Nakashima in the final to rise four places to World No. 6 just one spot off his career-high.
It was his fourth ATP title of the 2026 season, improving his record to 17-5 with trophies on hard court, clay and grass. He also reached the US Open final this year, beating Carlos Alcaraz in five sets in the quarters before losing to Alexander Zverev in four sets. Despite his strong singles run, Shelton suffered a setback at Davis Cup this month, losing to Jakub Mensik as Czechia beat the USA a reminder that consistency remains his biggest challenge. #GOATeD #athleteoftheweek #benshelton

Rugby's Greatest Rivalry delivered more than R250 million to & SA Rugby after the four-Test series against the All Blacks concluded in September 2026. SA Rugby CEO Rian Oberholzer confirmed the event exceeded internal projections, with the financial boost coming at a key time ahead of fewer home Tests in 2027 due to the Rugby World Cup. The series was played across South Africa and the United States, with three matches at Ellis Park, Cape Town Stadium and FNB Stadium generating an estimated R60-R80 million each. The decisive fourth Test in Baltimore drew 68,173 fans, setting a record for rugby attendance in the US and earning roughly $8 million in total revenue under a 50-50 split. The success also gave Rassie Erasmus valuable insight ahead of the 2027 World Cup in Australia. The 3-1 Springboks win is seen as second only to a World Cup triumph and has helped shape squad selection for upcoming tours. #sarugby #rugbysgreatestrivalry #GOATeD

Lawrence Maleka stars in Future Tense, a South African-Australian sci-fi drama that premiered at the 51st Toronto International Film Festival in September 2026 in the Centrepiece programme. Maleka leads as Lwando and serves as executive producer on the Jenna Cato Bass film.
Set in a near-future Cape Town facing climate collapse, it follows a couple who get a chance to travel back to 1647, before colonisation, exploring climate change, guilt and identity. The film drew comparisons to The Babadook and Talk to Me. After two sold-out TIFF screenings and another on 19 September, Future Tense heads to a Texas premiere in September, then Fantastic Fest and Adelaide Film Festival in October.
The South African Police Service has confirmed the arrest of three suspects linked to the ninth victim in the Ekurhuleni murder cases. A man and two women were detained on September 21, 2026, by the Gauteng Murder and Robbery Unit and are expected to appear before the Boksburg Magistrate's Court. The victim has been identified as 30-year-old Jabulile Ntimba, who was found in Dawn Park on September 17 with a fatal throat injury. The arrest follows the discovery of nine women across Kempton Park, Olifantsfontein, KwaThema and Dawn Park over a two-month period a pattern that has sparked national concern. Acting National Commissioner Lieutenant General Puleng Dimpane says all cases remain a priority, with Crime Intelligence head Lieutenant General Dumisani Khumalo and KZN Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi assisting with investigations. Police have not yet confirmed whether all nine deaths are linked, citing differing motives and methods. Increased police deployments remain in place across Ekurhuleni as investigations continue. #GOATeD
Rapper Emtee is closer to his dream of filling up FNB Stadium after receiving public backing from businessman Solly Soka Madibela, popularly known as MySol. In a viral video on stage with the rapper, MySol pledged his support, declaring “MySol’s got your back,” as he rallied fans to fill the iconic Johannesburg venue in 2027.
The endorsement has boosted a fan-led Change.org petition for the “Fill Up FNB Stadium” concert, which has now surpassed 12,000 signatures. The move has been hailed as a landmark moment for SA hip-hop, with Emtee remaining one of the country’s most influential artists since his breakout album “Avery”and hit “Roll Up.” #fillupfnb #emtee #mysol

🖤ENOUGH IS ENOUGH🖤
Today we stand in solidarity with the families, loved ones, survivors and communities affected by the tragedy in Ekurhuleni, sharing in the pain, grief and anger of a community that continues to lose women and girls to gender-based violence and femicide.
These are not just headlines or statistics, they are mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and loved ones whose lives mattered, whose stories mattered and whose families will never be the same.
We cannot continue to normalise violence against women, remain silent when women are at risk or only speak when another life has been lost. We must challenge the culture that allows GBV and femicide to continue, support survivors, protect women and girls, hold perpetrators accountable and demand justice.
Today we remember those who have been lost, stand with those who are hurting and raise our voices for a future where every woman and girl can live, love, work and simply exist without fear.
*We see you, Ekurhuleni. We hear you. We stand with you. 🖤*
*ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.*

For a 16-year-old's earring, a bronze medal is easier to win than a factory. The earring is currently just a prototype Mphahlele has said so herself. She is now seeking investors, technical partners, and funding to refine it and move it into production. Limpopo Education MEC Polly Boshielo has publicly called for that exact funding to allow the earring to be manufactured at scale. So what does the bronze medal actually prove? That judges in the engineering electronics category tested the build and scored it 16. What it doesn't answer is how to build a factory. A functional photo trigger, a paired device, and a police alert are three distinct challenges. A prototype only proves each one can work once, on a workbench. And that workbench is where most inventions by 16-year-olds end.
