Students leave hearts on stage
Southland Girls' High School students perform on the Civic Theatre stage for Showquest Southland. PHOTO: CHONTALLE MUSSON Hundreds of South Island secondary school students brought their creative talents to the Deep South on Monday night. The students put on performances that blended art, music, dance, drama, culture and technology for Showquest Southland at the Civic Theatre in Invercargill. A dozen school groups from across Otago and Southland took part in Aotearoa's largest student performing arts competition. Showquest producer Kelsey Moller said the standard of the performances lifted every year and she was impressed with the issues young people brought to the stage. "It was all really student-led. [A] really diverse expression of creativity. "Tonight, we've had performances about AI, about our wāhine toa and disconnecting from social media. "It's a really strong nationwide theme that we've seen." She had anticipated a great show because of the way the 600 students had supported each other throughout the day. "This was a really beautiful opportunity for adults and teachers and whānau to come along and see the students take to the stage and show the adults in their lives what was important to them." A group from Wanaka's Mount Aspiring College were named the winner , taking out the open section for their "Wāhine Toa" dance piece celebrating significant women from across Aotearoa's history. James Hargest College snapped up the junior section for their performance themed, "Best First Day Ever!". Showquest Southland judge Travis Luke said the concepts felt very relevant — and clearly focused on where we were at in society. Both colleges will go on to the Showquest digital national final, which will be livestreamed on July 30.

The city of Johannesburg has implemented a 6-hour planned power outage that will affect 12 areas in the city. The power outage will occur on Saturday, 7 June 2025.

'The interruption is necessary to do essential maintenance work on our network, which is part of our program of constantly striving to provide a better service,' the City said in a statement. The power outage will affect these 12 Johannesburg areas from 8:30 to 14:30 (6 hours) at Fort Substation: San Hancock Street Edith Cvale Street De Korte Street/ Simmonds Street Civic Theatre Klein Street East Avenue (Pretoria Gate CNP Pretoria and Clarendon) Constitutional Court Civic 3 Constitutional Court No. 2 Constitutional Court No. 1- Queens Street Hospital Street Civic Braam Park Repairs are underway in parts of Joburg CBD after an underground fire resulted in a power outage in certain parts of the city.

According to City Power Johannesburg, investigations are allegedly pointing to illegal mining as the cause of the fire.
