RTX 5090 Scam Fills Box With Rice and Pasta
Graphics card scams reached a new level of creativity when criminals used food items to fool buyers. A Dutch customer ordered an expensive NVIDIA RTX 5090 graphics card from Amazon and received rice and pasta instead.

SA Judges Slap Down Home Affairs Over ZEPs
South Africa's highest appeals court rejected the Home Affairs Minister's challenge against Zimbabwe Exemption Permits. The permits help around 180,000 Zimbabweans live and work legally across South Africa.
