Shadrack Sibiya resigns from Saps Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya appears at the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on 1 October 2026. Picture: Nigel Sibanda/The Citizen Shadrack Sibiya has resigned from the South African Police Service (Saps) following disciplinary proceedings against the now former deputy national police commissioner.

In a statement on Monday, the organisation said transformation laws in the country are under attack after two constitutional court rulings. “The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) condemns the escalating war on the upliftment of black people. The setting aside of the Legal Sector Code by the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria, the invalidation of the Public Procurement Act by the Constitutional Court and attempts to weaken B-BBEE in public procurement expose a determined effort to preserve an economic order that continues to marginalise the black majority, particularly Africans, and to keep South Africa’s wealth in white hands,” said the league’s Tsakani Shiviti.

If you’re heading to the coast on Tuesday, check the tide times before planning your activities, as spring tides bring changes to water levels along South Africa’s coastline. However, tides are only part of the picture. Wind, waves and swell and the shape of the seabed can also affect conditions along the shore and at sea. When to expect the next spring tide Spring tides are important to watch out for because they bring higher high tides and lower low tides than usual, changing conditions along the coast. The most recent spring tide coincided with the new moon on Saturday, 10 October. The next spring tide is expected around the full moon on Monday, 26 October 2026. These changes can affect swimming, surfing, fishing and other coastal activities. Higher tides can cover rocks and reefs, while lower tides expose more of the shoreline. Check the tide times and the latest weather and marine warnings before you head to the coast.
