After an absence of four Sundays, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), was back on the Sunday Show today with Chris Steyn. Calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to step down, he says: “… Wake up, resign…Mr. Ramaphosa, can't you see the signs? Can't you see they don't like you? Can't you see that they are conspiring against you?” With legacy foundations deserting the preparatory task team of Ramaphosa's National Dialogue, De Beer says: “…slowly but surely all of them will leave the rat's cage”. Responding to the charge that he himself is spearheading the #ANCMustFall movement, De Beer says: “…the ANC is doing it themselves to themselves…” He urges both the President and his party to “Voetsek”. Commenting on the crisis in SAPS, he says: “I see ourselves having to totally, totally re-educate and totally rebuild the policing service of this country. They've annihilated themselves.” As for the latest Commission of Inquiry appointed by the President, De Beer says: “..they're not commissions, they're complications because they are a way that Cyril puts things aside…if we don't have civilian action against these people, we're not going to get action at all”.
Die Vryheidsfront Plus sê Suid-Afrika se diplomatieke en handelskrisis kan regstreeks toegeskryf word aan die ANC-regering se voortgesette sosialistiese beleid en mislukte buitelandse beleid. Dit volg nadat Amerika tariewe van 30-persent op Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoerprodukte gehef het. Jaco Mulder van die VF Plus sê die minister van Handel en Nywerheid, Parks Tau, en president Cyril Ramaphosa se onlangse verklarings dat alternatiewe markte deur die Afrika-vryhandelsooreenkoms en met die Ooste ondersoek sal word, bied min troos:
In an interview with BizNews founder Alec Hogg, Ryan Smith, the DA's new Spokesperson on International Relations and Cooperation, discusses his challenging roles and South Africa's foreign policy 'follies'. He criticises ruinous 30% Trump tariffs, citing negotiation failures. Smith strongly condemns Ronald Lamola's "ridiculous decision" to downgrade the Taiwanese embassy. He highlights Taiwan's crucial role as the sole supplier of vital semiconductor chips (TSMC), arguing this alienates essential trade, hindering SA's manufacturing and job creation efforts. Smith advocates for a truly non-aligned, South Africa-first foreign policy driven by economic development, not ANC party interests, stressing the need for career diplomats. The DA seeks new agricultural markets to offset these challenges.
In vandag se episode gesels Ernst en Louis oor Fikile Mbalula se rassistiese uitlatings tydens die perskonferensie na afloop van die ANC se NUK-vergadering. Hy het onder meer die eerste Afrikanervlugtelinge na die VSA "karwagte" genoem – wat dit ookal veronderstel is om te beteken. Daarna kom die jongste haatspraak-uitspraak ter sprake. Kenny Kunene is deur die hof verbied om Malema voortaan weer 'n kakkerlak te noem, aangesien dit op haatspraak sou neerkom. Terwyl dit vir Malema steeds baie belangrik is dat die hof bepaalde ander uitlatings nié as haatspraak beskou nie.Die Podlitiek-span bestaan uit: Louis BoshoffErnst van Zyl Arno Roodt

The Democratic Alliance (DA) has put an end to speculation around the resignation of International Relations spokesperson Emma Powell who cited threats and intimidation. Speaking to BizNews, the party's National Spokesperson Willie Aucamp read out a message in which she denied a lack of support. It read “This is complete and utter nonsense. I've had nothing but support from the party and took the decision to step back for purely personal reasons.” Aucamp commented: “You can imagine the amount of pressure that was applied on Emma Powell to find out that you are being surveilled by the State Security services…” Aucamp also addresses charges that his party has sold its liberal soul for power. Listing all the DA wins in the Government of National Unity (GNU), he stated: “… to say that the DA or to imply that the DA has been co-opted and that we are a rubber stamp for the ANC is simply just not true”. Commenting on the African National Congress (ANC) NEC's move to “reset” the GNU and is talking to other parties, Aucamp states: “that (Sufficient Consensus) clause is very clear that there must be sufficient consensus when decisions are made and that sufficient consensus only occurs when parties within the GNU representing at least 60% of the votes in the National Assembly agrees. So there's no way that the ANC, together with all the other parties within the GNU currently, reaches that threshold. The only way that sufficient consensus can be reached is if the ANC and the DA at least agrees on something.”

Cosatu het 'n beroep gedoen op die Vrystaatse leierskap van die ANC, om die party skoon te maak van alle burgemeesters en provinsiale leierskap wat by wangedrag geïmpliseer word en die beweging en regering in oneer gebring het. Die vakbondfederasie sê as die leierskap beweerde oortreders verder beskerm, sal Cosatu en sy geaffilieerdes op aanspreeklikheid aandring. Die Cosatu woordvoerder, Zanele Sabela, sê die onlangse verslag van die ouditeur-generaal het verdoemende uitsprake teen munisipaliteite gelewer wat vir te lank sonder aanspreeklikheid gelaat is:
Die ANC-jeugliga sê hulle eis die vinnige en beslissende instel van 'n handelsbeleid ná Amerika se aankondiging oor 30-persent-tariewe op Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoere. President Cyril Ramaphosa het tydens die ANC se nasionale uitvoerende komiteevergadering in Ekurhuleni gesê die regering sal maatreëls instel om die veerkragtigheid van die ekonomie en toekomstige uitvoere te verseker. Die Liga se woordvoerder, Zama Khanyase, sê progressiewe beleidsaankondigings gaan te dikwels nie gepaard met praktiese uitvoering nie:

In today's BizNews Briefing: Longtime columnist William Saunderson-Meyer unpacks Emma Powell's political humiliation amid DA tensions; Dr Lennit Max sheds light on SAPS dysfunction and the ANC's anti-corruption retreat; more insight from the Pretoria Girls High controversy; and the future of Trump's global tariffs is explored. Plus, Palantir discussions from Bloomberg and The Financial Times - and a Cape Town influencer finds herself in sewage water...
President Cyril Ramaphosa is surrounded by advisors that are “mainly inept”. So says political commentator Phapano Phasha. She says he has “juniorised” his office with people “who cannot lead”. Meanwhile, the President is also “highly embedded” in the narrative surrounding allegations of police capture made by General “Lucky” Mkhwanazi. Phasha predicts that “whoever has the money will likely win the ANC conference and become the next ANC president”. In this factional race, SG Fikile Mbalula “has everything intact because he's got external people who support him. He is in charge of branches. But he's the weakest of them all.” Commenting on former President Jacob Zuma's threat of further legal action and political mobilisation unless the President resigns by Friday, Phasha says his MKP is on a collision course. “It's like the Titanic… that kind of organisation, it will eventually break. But for now, I think it's a necessary irritation because what we're having is we're having a GNU and this GNU is unfortunately not able to hold the ANC accountable.” Meanwhile, she warns that the Democratic Alliance (DA) is likely to be punished in the next election. “I had hoped that the NEC would agree to kick off the DA out of the GNU because what you would then have is a more robust Democratic Alliance.” She also blasts Gayton McKenzie's Patriotic Alliance (PA) as a party that would not be in Parliament in a “seasoned democracy”. “But unfortunately, this is where we are. Our politics are mediocre. We are led by the worst in society. Professionals, academics and business people, the patriotic intelligentsia has taken a backseat and allowed this type of people to lead our country.”
Opposisiepartye betreur die verkiesing van 'n ANC-parlementslid as voorsitter van die Mkhwanazi ad hoc-komitee. 'n Verbod op wapens kelder Amerikaanse deelname aan 'n militêre oefening in Suid-Afrika. Die departement van Binnelandse Sake reik 'n identiteitsdokument aan 'n staatslose persoon uit ná groot druk van 'n oudregter.
Veteran columnist William Saunderson-Meyer, in conversation with Alec Hogg, delivers a scathing critique of the Democratic Alliance's role in the Government of National Unity. From the sidelining of Emma Powell to the silent complicity over Pretoria Girls High, Saunderson-Meyer warns the DA is trading its liberal soul for power - while Ramaphosa quietly accelerates the ANC's National Democratic Revolution.
Die DA sê die ANC se mislukking om 'n sterk handelsooreenkoms met die VSA te sluit het Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoerders blootgestel aan skadelike nuwe tariewe. Die party blameer die minister van Handel, Nywerheid en Mededinging, Parks Tau en die minister van Internasionale Betrekkinge en Samewerking, Ronald Lamola dat hulle nie vroeër opgetree het nie, met besighede wat nou 30-persent tariewe in die gesig staar terwyl buurlande slegs 15-persent betaal. Ryan Smith van die DA doen 'n beroep op dringende hervormings om burokrasie te verminder:
Die landbou-organisasie TLU SA gaan nie aan die Nasionale Dialoog later die maand deelneem nie en sê die land het nie nog 'n ideologiese imbizo nodig wat net die ANC se bestaande beleidsrigtings herbevestig nie. Die dialoog is gemik op die vestiging van eenheid en die vind van oplossings vir Suid-Afrika se uitdagings. Bennie van Zyl sê 'n ware nasionale gesprek sal slegs moontlik wees wanneer daar 'n gedeelde begrip is van die waardes en beginsels wat 'n land laat groei:
Nicholas Lorimer and Michael Morris discuss the end of the Ramaphoria era in South Africa's politics. They also chat about violence against municipal officials and the ANC's declaration that the economy is in crisis. Website · Facebook · Instagram · Twitter
Die SAKP sê sy onafhanklike deelname aan die 2026 plaaslike regeringsverkiesing is om namens die werkersklas en werkloses te staan en nie om die drieledige alliansie te verbreek nie. Die party het sy 104de herdenking gister by KwaDlengezwa naby Richardsbaai in KwaZulu-Natal gevier. Die SAKP se hoofsekretaris, Solly Mapaila, beskuldig die ANC dat hy sy alliansievennote se vertroue verbreek en kapitaalbelange eerste stel. Hy sê die ANC hou aan beloftes maak wat hy nie nakom nie en skep illusies wat openbare vertroue skend:

In today's BizNews Briefing, Deputy President Paul Mashatile faces fresh scrutiny over undeclared gifts and luxury properties. Advocate Glynnis Breytenbach calls for urgent reform at the NPA, while the ANC grapples with US tariffs and their economic fallout. Plus, Trump escalates tensions with Russia and questions US job data integrity.
'n Nasionale uitvoerende komiteelid van die ANC, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, sê die kwessie van ekonomiese groei en die nastrewing van swart ekonomiese bemagtiging is nie onversoenbaar nie. Hy sê die besluit van president Donald Trump om 'n straftarief van 30-persent op Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoere in te stel, het niks te doen met 'n beleid soos Swart Ekonomiese Bemagtiging of die onteiening van grond sonder vergoeding nie. Ramokgopa sê die faktore wat groei in Suid-Afrika ondermyn, sluit nie Swart Ekonomiese Bemagtiging in nie:
In the latest Sunday Show, Chris Steyn talks to Security Expert Brad Steyn about another tumultuous week in South African politics: He slams the “dangerous deflection” used by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his handling of the US export tariff crisis and a Presidency “more concerned with BRICS handshakes than backbone diplomacy”. Steyn also warns of dirty tricks to undermine the whistleblowing KZN General “Lucky” Mkhwanazi. “There is a rogue SAPS investigation underway, meaning the cover-up is beginning. The goal is to undermine reformers like Mkhwanazi before their testimony even sees daylight. This is incredibly concerning because the same tactics used in SAPS purges, intelligence shutdowns and factional suppressions happened under the Zuma administration. So it comes straight out of this ANC playbook.” As for the opulent lifestyle of Deputy President Paul Mashatile, Steyn says: “… insiders… now fear that his 2027 presidential bid is toxic and triggering a full potential ANC leadership collapse”. Steyn further warns of “foreign capture” saying: “…we're not just dealing with ANC incompetence, we're dealing with foreign intelligence infiltration. Right here… Iranian agents, Russian operatives and other foreign intelligence entities are being allowed to operate freely under the blind eye…”

John Maytham speaks to Pieter du Toit, News24’s assistant editor for investigations and author of the searing analysis: “Sodi, Matlala: How the ANC’s Vulgar Ecosystem of Extraction Flourishes.” In his piece, du Toit lays bare the intersecting interests of corrupt tenderpreneurs, government officials, and ANC elites—what he calls the golden triangle of systemic corruption.

Die leier van die ANC Veteraneliga, Snuki Zikalala, het die voorgestelde Amerikaanse Wet op die Hersiening van Bilaterale Betrekkinge verwerp en sê dit het nie bestaansreg nie. Zikalala het aan SABC News gesê die wetgewing wat top-ANC-lede vir moontlike sanksies teiken, spruit voort uit Suid-Afrika se steun vir die Palestyne en bande met lande soos Iran, China en Rusland. Hy het die behoefte aan dialoog en alliansie met Amerikaanse Demokrate beklemtoon om bilaterale samewerking te bewaar:

Die DA-leier John Steenhuisen sê nou dat die begroting aanvaar is, moet die fokus verskuif na dienslewering en die vinnige instelling van noodsaaklike hervormings om ekonomiese groei te ontsluit en werk te skep. Die party het ten gunste van die Toedelingswetsontwerp gestem wat in die parlement bekragtig is. Steenhuisen sê die DA het ʼn belangrike rol gespeel om die begroting te vorm en sê hy het die ANC se voorgestelde BTW-verhoging van 2 persent gekeer:
The DA's spokesperson on foreign affairs, Emma Powell, found herself at the wrong end of a powerful assault by the State last week after she notified the country that President Cyril Ramaphosa's Special Envoy to the US (and, subsequently, to North America), Mcebisi Jonas, had done little or no work trying to heal our battered relationship with the Donald Trump White House in the 90 plus days since he was appointed. In fact, the Americans wanted nothing to do with him and had declined his request for a diplomatic visa. The National Security Council, which reports directly to Ramaphosa alerted The Sowetan to a report it has done on Powell and accused her of running the country down during a trip to the US in February. The newspaper splashed the story as the Presidency put out a statement calling her part of “a right wing nexus” acting against South Africa's interests abroad. Powell tells Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge that this is nonsense. "It's an empirical fact that the ANC had done nothing of value or meaning in order to shore up and rebuild trust with the United States in order to safeguard South Africa's interests in regards to our continued inclusion in Agoa beyond September,” she says. “We were trying to do our part and waving South Africa's flag”.
In this episode of The Daily Friend Show, Michael Morris and Hermann Pretorius dive into the multi-faceted and evergreen issue of corruption. A new proposed law in Washington, D.C., paves the way for the US government to put sanctions on some SA politicians.

Mike Wills speaks to Stephen Grootes, host of The Money Show on 702 and CapeTalk, to explore whether the GNU has failed the real test: delivering economic growth and jobs.

In this unfiltered conversation with businessman and truth-teller Rob Hersov, we expose the lies South Africans have been fed for decades. From the economic destruction under Cyril Ramaphosa to the systemic rot within the ANC, nothing is off-limits. Rob reveals the shocking inner workings of political betrayal, how the media keeps the public distracted, and why the time to act is now. This is a call to courage, to truth, and to reclaiming the future of South Africa.
Die DA sê die afdanking van die minister van Hoër Onderwys en Opleiding, Nobuhle Nkabane, volg ná volgehoue druk in die stryd teen die ANC se korrupsie, wandade en misdadigheid. Daar was oproepe dat sy bedank te midde van bewerings dat sy die Parlement mislei het oor die onafhanklikheid van die paneel wat aanbevelings moes maak oor aanstellings op die SETA-rade. Karabo Khakhau van die DA sê president Cyril Ramaphosa se afdanking van Nkabane is ʼn positiewe stap:
In today's episode, Marius Roodt and Hermann Pretorius take a look at the sacking of the ANC's Minister of Higher Education and Training, Kenny Kunene of the PA, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and a time when an English-speaking Springbok captain was enough to upset those in power.

Is there hope for South Africa? In this unfiltered and brutally honest conversation, Prophet Leon du Preez sits down with political commentator Renaldo Gouws to unpack the deep-rooted issues threatening South Africa's future. From the corruption of the ANC to the rise of race-based politics, media narratives, and the failure of coalitions—nothing is off the table. This episode is more than commentary—it's a wake-up call to a nation in crisis and a challenge to the church to lead the way in restoration.
Die sekretaris-generaal van die ANC, Fikile Mbalula, het die party se standpunt oor selfbeskikking vir Wes-Sahara verdedig en die president van die MK-party, Jacob Zuma, beskuldig dat hy 'n manteldraaier is. Hy het gister die party se nasionale werkkomiteevergadering met die Wes-Kaapse provinsiale uitvoerende komitee in Kaapstad bygewoon. Mbalula het gesê hy is nie verbaas oor Zuma se erkenning van Marokko se soewereiniteit in Wes-Sahara nie:
Die DA sê sy lid Emma Powell se onthulling oor Mcebisi Jonas het 'n ernstige geloofwaardigheidskwessie vir president Cyril Ramaphosa geskep. Die party sê Ramaphosa het Jonas aangestel om Suid-Afrika se diplomatieke, handels- en bilaterale belange met die VSA te bevorder nadat ambassadeur Ebrahim Rasool uitgeskop is. Willie Aucamp van die DA sê sedert Powell se onthulling is die weiering van Jonas se VSA-visum nie ontken nie, nie deur die Presidensie of die ANC nie:
Die sekretaris-generaal van die ANC, Fikile Mbalula, sê die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu, is nie deur enige hof in die land skuldig bevind of aangekla nie. Mchunu is op verpligte verlof geplaas na verdoemende korrupsie-aansprake oor kriminele aktiwiteite binne die polisie deur die KwaZulu-Natalse provinsiale polisiekommissaris, Nhlahla Mkhwanazi. Mabulula sê Suid-Afrikaners moet die prosesse van die geregtelike kommissie van ondersoek wat deur president Cyril Ramaphosa, aangestel is, toelaat om sy gang te gaan:
