In addition to the Broadcasting Corporation's response, the African National Congress (ANC) has also distanced itself from the incident. The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has expressed its concern following a viral video showing an altercation involving one of its employees, Nobuntu “Nobs” Mkhize, aboard a FlySafair flight. The incident has sparked widespread attention and criticism on social media platforms. In the video, Mkhize reportedly referenced the SABC and claimed that the matter would be featured on the corporation’s news platforms. This statement, coupled with her behaviour during the altercation, has drawn scrutiny and raised questions about professionalism. In an official statement, the company acknowledged the incident, emphasizing its commitment to maintaining high standards of integrity and respect in all interactions involving its staff. “The SABC regrets this incident and always encourages staff members to uphold the SABC values of respect and integrity in all their interactions,” the statement read. The broadcaster further clarified that its news division operates with full editorial independence and that decisions related to news content are made within the newsroom, free from influence by individual employees. “We would like to reiterate that SABC News is guided by the Editorial Code and maintains its editorial independence,” the SABC added. In addition to the Broadcasting Corporation’s response, the African National Congress (ANC) has also distanced itself from the incident. While Mkhize has no official ties to the political organisation, speculation on social media linking her actions to the ANC prompted a brief statement. The party reiterated that it does not condone inappropriate behaviour and stressed the importance of professionalism in public spaces. As part of its response, the SABC has committed to addressing the matter internally and engaging with the parties involved. The organisation has also reassured the public that it will use appropriate internal channels to resolve the situation. As social media continues to amplify both actions and consequences, public figures are increasingly challenged to align their conduct with the values they uphold.

A late Robert Bolick explosion powered NLEX’s 19-point comeback to frustrate San Miguel, 104-99, in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup at the Ynares Center in Antipolo on Sunday, Dec. 8. A late Robert Bolick explosion powered NLEX’s 19-point comeback to frustrate San Miguel, 104-99, in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup at the Ynares Center in Antipolo on Sunday, Dec. 8. The high-scoring guard fired 20 of his 32 points in the payoff period, none bigger than the booming four-pointer over the defense of Marcio Lassiter that broke a 91-all deadlock with 1.27 left and put the Road Warriors on the driver's seat for good. NLEX notched its third straight victory for a 3-1 slate while San Miguel slid to a 1-1 record. Bolick also added nine assists – including one that came from his steal from June Mar Fajardo and led to Mike Watkins dunk that put NLEX up ahead, 100-94. The Beermen refused to go down without a fight, though, cutting the lead down to three after a 7-2 spurt that was capped by a Juami Tiongson trey. but Bolick, once again, came to the rescue and formally iced the game with a pair of free throws. Watkins provided support to Bolick with 17 points and game-high 28 rebounds to go with four blocks while Xyrus Torres and Enoch Valdez had 11 and 10 respectively for NLEX which climbed out of a 46-65 hole at one point in the contest. SMB import Quincy Miller paced his team with 21 points and 11 rebounds while Fajardo finished with 20 points and 19 rebounds in a losing effort.Iceland votes for new a parliament after coalition dissolved

Prairie View A&M got off to a hot start, opening up a 27-12 lead with 10:42 left in the first half.

Mississippi State eventually found its stride offensively, turning things around with a 32-17 run to tie the game at 44 entering halftime. The Bulldogs shot 50 percent from the field overall in the first half, but only made six of their 17 attempts from 3-point range (35.3 percent). Their defense remained an issue throughout the half, with the Panthers hitting 16 of their 27 shots (59.3 percent) and canning 5 of 8 3-pointers. Neither team led by more than five early in the second half until Mississippi State pulled away. The Bulldogs finished the game shooting 55.6 percent from the floor (30-of-54) and drilled 11 of 26 attempts (42.3 percent) from long range. They outrebounded Prairie View A&M 35-22 and outscored them 31-20 in bench points. The Panthers held a 34-32 advantage in points in the paint and shot 56.4 percent overall for the game, including 52.6 percent (10-of-19) on threes. --Field Level Media

The United States is poised to announce a hefty £1 billion military aid package for Ukraine before Joe Biden 's term ends on January 20. This substantial aid package includes a significant amount of munitions , such as the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and the HAWK air defence system. It will also provide Stinger missiles and 155 mm- and 105 mm artillery rounds, officials revealed. Officials who wished to remain anonymous anticipated the announcement to be made on Monday. This new aid arrives amidst Russia's recent onslaught against Ukraine 's power facilities. However, Ukraine claims to have intercepted a significant number of the missiles and drones. Russian and Ukrainian forces continue their bitter battle around the Russian border region of Kursk, where Moscow has deployed thousands of North Korean troops to reclaim territory seized by Ukraine . Earlier this month, senior defence officials admitted that the Defense Department might not be able to dispatch all of the remaining £4.5 billion in Pentagon weapons and equipment stocks approved by Congress for Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. Trump has discussed the possibility of a negotiated settlement between Ukraine and Russia , referencing his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin . This has sparked concern among US and European leaders who fear it could result in an unfavourable deal for Ukraine and question whether he will deliver all the weapons funding approved by Congress. The aid included in the new package is under presidential drawdown authority, enabling the Pentagon to swiftly dispatch weapons to Ukraine . This latest assistance would leave approximately £3.5 billion remaining. Officials have expressed hope that an increase in aid will bolster Ukraine 's position if Zelensky decides to enter negotiations. A senior defence official stated that while the US will continue to supply weapons to Ukraine until January 20, there may still be funds left for the incoming Trump administration to utilise. The Pentagon has also reported around £1 billion remaining in longer-term funding through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, used for weapons contracts not due for delivery for at least a year. Officials anticipate that all of this money will be released before the end of the calendar year. Including the new package, the US has provided over £51 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since Russia 's invasion in February 2022.NCAA MEN’S HOCKEY: Breen’s natural hat trick helps No. 5 Maine drub RPI
