  In recent months, non-fungible tokens ( NFTs ) have taken the digital world by storm. From digital art to virtual real estate,   NFTs   are being used to represent ownership of unique digital assets. But are we really ready for the impact that NFTs could have on the world? First, let's define what an NFT is. NFTs are unique digital tokens that are stored on a blockchain, similar to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Crackdown on Illegal Immigration: 80 Arrested in the City of Tshwane

  Recently, the South African Police Service (SAPS) announced the arrest of 80 illegal immigrants in the City of Tshwane. The arrests came as a result of an operation that aimed to crack down on individuals who are residing in the country without the necessary legal documentation. The operation was carried out by SAPS in collaboration with the Department of Home Affairs and the City of Tshwane. The arrested individuals were mainly from neighboring African countries and could not provide legal documentation that would allow them to reside in South Africa.
