In Johannesburg, the Diepkloof protests shut key highways as residents demanded better water, sanitation, and housing. Tensions turned deadly after a truck broke through roadblocks and two people died. If you’re in or near Soweto, avoid blocked routes, expect police and emergency vehicles, and follow local authority warnings.

At Delhi Airport, part of Terminal 1’s roof collapsed during heavy rain, disrupting hundreds of flights. Engineering firm L&T has said it was not involved in building that section. Travellers should check flight status directly with airlines before heading to the airport and follow official airport notices for rebookings and refunds.

In Lagos, a large fire hit the Christ Embassy church in Oregun, Ikeja. Footage circulated online while officials worked to control the blaze. We don’t have confirmed casualty totals yet. If you have family or friends in the area, contact them directly and avoid sharing unverified video that could spread false rumors.
