Toyota tests Land Cruiser; Denel faces skills recovery questions in South Africa
What happened
Toyota tested the Land Cruiser 300 GR-S HEV. Separately, questions were raised about whether Denel has recovered enough critical skills to safeguard South Africa’s defense independence. Regarding migration, the department of home affairs proposed a phased structure registration and appointment model for asylum seekers, an approach welcomed by Mmamoloko Kubayi, who chairs the inter-ministerial committee.
