Xinhua, December 2, 2016 Adjust font size:

The following are highlights of South African major news outlets on Friday.

-- South Africa might be just hours away from losing its investment-grade at S&P Global Ratings - a relegation that could take years to undo.

With a credit assessment due on Friday, the country's foreign-currency debt is at risk of being rated junk by S&P for the first time in more than 16 years. (Fin24)

-- Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has called on his supporters to honour the late former President of Cuba, Fidel Castro, by taking the land they want.

Malema addressed the party's memorial service held for Castro in Soweto, Johannesburg on Thursday. (Witness News) Endit
