Here are the main stories CottonCandi published in July 2025. You’ll find sports headlines, courtroom drama and political tensions — the items our readers clicked, shared and talked about most this month.
Sports fans saw the Premier Soccer League reveal its 2024/25 awards nominees. Big names like Lucas Ribeiro Costa and Relebohile Mofokeng made the list, and Orlando Pirates led the pack with the most nominations. The awards ceremony was set for late July, and we also tracked related transfer talk that could reshape squads in the new season.
In courts and corridors of power, Advocate Malesela Teffo made headlines as he faced death threats while working on the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial. Teffo publicly accused police of corruption and named Police Minister Bheki Cele in claims of intimidation. That story kept attention on how high-profile cases can become flashpoints for trust in law enforcement.
Another legal story focused on Judge President Selby Mbenenge. A Judicial Conduct Tribunal looked into sexual harassment claims by Andiswa Mengo. Calls for suspension were raised, but proceedings paused until October for final arguments. Mbenenge denied the allegations, leaving a tense wait for the tribunal’s next move.
On the boxing front, the July 5 bout in Manchester between Jack Catterall and Harlem Eubank had fans watching closely. Chris Eubank Sr.’s attendance remained unclear, making headlines because of his status in the sport. The fight highlighted Catterall’s comeback hopes and Harlem Eubank’s rise, with both fighters targeting big paydays.
Sports coverage matters because nominations and transfers change what fans expect next season. The PSL awards piece wasn’t just about trophies — it flagged players to watch and possible shifts between big clubs.
The legal and political stories matter for a simpler reason: they affect public trust. Teffo’s claims and threats raise questions about safety for legal teams and accountability in police ranks. The Mbenenge tribunal shows how complaints against judges get handled and why transparent processes matter to anyone who uses the courts.
The boxing story is a reminder that sport and personality often mix. When a famous figure’s presence is uncertain, it changes how events play out in public and media — and it can affect fighters’ momentum and earnings.
