I tried to add the following line to my .htaccess: (follow-up on the 
redirects in RealURL)

Redirect 301 /public/?act=latestnews /latest-news/

Unfortunately this doesn't work and it still shows me the 404 page.

Also this line doesn't work:

Redirect 301 http://www.domainname.com/public/?act=latestnews 
http://www.domainname.com/latest-news/
(all on one line)....

This line is written in the bottom of the .htaccess file after
# Add your own rules here
# ...

Kind regards,

Mark

P.S. Unfortunately Donatas and Benjamin. I tried both your suggestions 
but neither of them works....
