Major news and regional impact

The biggest shock came from the Middle East: reports confirmed the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah after a major Israeli airstrike in Beirut. That piece sits beside reporting on intensified Israeli strikes across Lebanon that left more than 180 dead, including fighters and civilians. Both stories tracked the immediate fallout and what it could mean for regional stability.

In other news, we covered a national relief many drivers felt: South Africa’s September fuel prices fell, easing some monthly pressure for motorists. Our piece explains why prices changed and what factors — like global oil trends and the exchange rate — drove the drop.

We also marked the passing of a Hollywood giant. James Earl Jones died at 93, and our tribute highlights his career, iconic roles, and the legacy he leaves in film and theatre.

Sports, crypto, and culture highlights

Football dominated a lot of our coverage. The month included previews and match analysis: Bournemouth vs Southampton on the South Coast, the packed Serie A clash where AC Milan edged Inter 2-1, Juventus preparing new signings against Roma, and Crystal Palace’s injury-hit squad facing Manchester United. We also ran a guide on how to watch Manchester City vs Brentford live for fans abroad.

Young talent hit headlines too. Lamine Yamal set a UEFA Champions League record for the most appearances at 17 or younger, and we broke down what that means for Barcelona and his rising role on the team.

Africa’s club game kept its place in the spotlight with the CAF Champions League moving into its second preliminary stage. Reports focused on clubs pushing hard to reach the group stage and the players making the difference.

For national teams, Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos warned that the AFCON qualifier against Uganda would be tough, urging focus on finishing chances. That story gives a clear read on South Africa’s qualifiers and preparations.

Crypto watchers got a compact roundup of market-moving news: Binance co-founder CZ’s release, Sky launching USDS on Solana, and major token unlocks worth millions. Our crypto column explains why these moves matter and how they could shift sentiment.
