Die DA sê president Cyril Ramaphosa bedreig die stabiliteit van die koalisie nadat Andrew Whitfield van die DA as adjunkminister van Handel, Nywerheid en Mededinging afgedank het. Die leier van die DA, John Steenhuisen, sê die afdanking was polities gemotiveerd en demonstreer dubbele standaarde, met sekere ANC ministers wat steeds in hul poste is ten spyte van betrokkenheid by korrupsie. Steenhuisen waarsku dat sodanige optrede spanning binne die regering van nasionale eenheid kan vererger en vra Ramaphosa om verantwoordelik op te tree om eenheid te behou:
Die leier van die DA, John Steenhuisen, het president Cyril Ramaphosa 48 uur gegee om ANC ministers en adjunkministers wat by staatskaping-korrupsie betrek is, af te dank. Die volg na die skielike afdanking van die adjunkminister van Handel, Nywerheid en Mededinging, Andrew Whitfield. Steenhuisen sê Whitfield is die onregverdig laat gaan oor 'n geringe reiskwessie, al het hy die voorgeskrewe stappe gevolg. Die DA se nasionale woordvoerder Willie Aucamp beskuldig Ramaphosa dat hy die DA teiken terwyl die minister van Menslike Nedersettings, Thembi Simelane wat met die VBS-plundering verbind word, steeds in die Kabinet is:
The African National Congress' (ANC's) collaboration with the IRGC (The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) “is akin to them being complicit in the mass murder and genocide of black Christians throughout Africa through IRGC funded terrorist entities”. That is the charge from Brooke Goldstein, the executive director of the Lawfare Project, who says black African Christians throughout the Middle East were also being slaughtered by Islamist terrorist groups funded by Iran. In this interview with BizNews, She warns: “…it's dangerous because again, ANC members can be sanctioned, their accounts can be sanctioned. I think that's really where we're going… And so the ANC really has to look long and hard to see what they're doing and at what cost their relationship with the IRGC.” She also warns that millions of dollars of funding from the United States for the University of Cape Town (UCT) is at risk because members of Hamas and Hezbollah have allegedly addressed students on campus. Giving an update on the war in the Middle East, she says: “All of the Iranian regime proxies are still active. They still have weapons. They still have declared war. There's Muslim Brotherhood sleeper cells, Hamas and Hezbollah sleeper cells around the world. They are continuing to threaten world stability and security. I don't think the '12 Day War' is really an accurate description of what's going on here.”

Die vakbond Giwusa sê die ANC het meer as 70 jaar lank die revolusionêre aspek van die Vryheidsmanifes verraai. Vandag is die 70ste herdenking van die Vryheidsmanifes wat in 1955 in Kliptown, Soweto, aanvaar is. Giwusa se president, Mametlwe Sebei, sê die ANC het dit verraai deur die sosialistiese betekenis te ontken en neo-liberalisme saam met die DA af te dwing in die regering van nasionale eenheid:
The Patriotic Alliance (PA) has shown huge gains in by-elections at the expense of both the African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA). In his latest interview with BizNews, elections analyst Wayne Sussman describes how the DA and the ANC are being affected by the PA's performances “across the length and breadth” of the Western Cape. “And this is a huge marker on the road to 2026. And Gayton McKenzie and the PA will be celebrating this victory today.” He was speaking after the PA's shock win in Mossel Bay last night. Sussman also analyses the DA performance in Tshwane where it held a ward last night, as well as the ANC seeing “some recovery” in Mpumalanga. Sussman further dissects the latest dramatic developments in the City of Joburg where the ANC Mayor survived a Vote of Confidence, but the ActionSA Speaker was ousted.
President Donald Trump has recently criticized the ANC-led government of South Africa for what he says are state-sanctioned, racist policies that have been endangering white farmers.In this episode, I sit down with South African businessman and entrepreneur Robert Hersov to get a read on what's happening in the country. What is the real story surrounding white farmers in South Africa today? What role have Iran and Russia played in the region? And what can we expect from U.S.-South Africa relations moving forward, after the confrontational meeting between Trump and President Cyril Ramaphosa last month?“In South Africa, we have two farm attacks a day, two murders of farmers a week. And of those farm murders, 20 percent of them involve rape and torture,” says Hersov.“Cyril Ramaphosa went back to South Africa and proclaimed his meeting as a huge victory,” says Hersov. “I think America is about to unleash serious punishments—not on South Africa, but on the leaders.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

South Africa's Social Research Foundation (SRF) reveals a striking disconnect between government policy and public opinion. Despite the ANC doubling down on BEE and affirmative action, SRF's latest survey shows the majority of South Africans - across all racial groups - believe these policies benefit the politically connected, not the poor. Gabriel Makin explains how the public favours merit, individualism, and minimal state interference in business. The data points to growing disillusionment with racial nationalism and demand for equal treatment under the law.
In his latest Sunday Show with BizNews, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), describes how SA is becoming another Colombia with the assasination of underworld kingpin André Naude. As for the R700-m National Dialogue, he lambasts President Cyril Ramaphosa for appointing “a pre-tactical team for the build-up to the ANC elections so that they can look good, so that the National Dialogue can in actual fact be this little poodle paraded by the president, run by the vice president with all these cohorts and selected people”. He discussed the “thunderbolt” defection of Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Liam Jacobs to the Patriotic Alliance (PA); the fall of Floyd Shivambu at former President Jacob Zuma's MKP where he had incurred the wrath of Duduzile; the way African National Congress (ANC) SG Fikile Mbalula - who has Presidential ambitions of his own - has poured scorn on those Patrice Motsepi-for-President rumours; the embattled Shamila Batohi's defence for the NPA's spectacular failures; International Relations Minister Ronald Lamola's condemnation of Israel's attack on Iran - and how SA might have contributed to Iran's enriched uranium stock. Meanwhile, De Beer calls for an urgent Referendum to ask for the removal of the current government and a snap new election “because I think this country, if it had an opportunity to say that we would like to have an urgent emergency intervention of a new election, I'll tell you that 90% of this country would say yes.”

In a year of by-election results since the national election, the Patriotic Alliance (PA) is showing strong growth. In this interview with BizNews, their performance is highlighted by Elections Analyst Wayne Sussman who says “they are setting themselves up without a shadow of a doubt as the one party which is stronger today compared to where they were in 2024” and could have the opportunity of having “many, many more mayors across the length and breath of this country after the next local government election”. Meanwhile, in urban by-elections, the Democratic Alliance (DA) has strong support. But it is a mixed bag in KwaZulu-Natal, where in some instances uMkhonto we Sizwe (MKP) does well, in some instances the African National Congress (ANC) is showing recovery, and in some instances the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) is being disappointing…Sussman also dissects the results of last night's two by-elections in both of which the ANC increased its vote share, while the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) saw its support fell from 30% to 11% in one ward, and essentially halved in the other. “And so this is the first time since the 2024 elections beyond KwaZulu-Natal where we see the EFF support starting to collapse.”

The “embarrassment of being removed” is “foremost” in the thinking of President Cyril Ramaphosa. So says political analyst Piet Croucamp who deems the break between the president and African National Congress (ANC) Chair Gwede Mantashe as irreparable. “Mantashe was the person who knocked on Thabo Mbeki's door to tell him that time is up - and he was the one who knocked on Jacob Zuma's door to tell him time is up. If there's one thing that Ramaphosa and those around him fear most, it is that one day the National Executive Committee of the ANC makes a decision which could be perceived as a Motion of No Confidence and Gwede Mantashe comes and knocks on your door. And I think that's the big fear that Ramaphosa has.” Croucamp also gives his take on the real reason MKP SG Floyd Shivambu was redeployed; reveals his pick for the next leader of the Democratic Alliance (DA); comments on the performance of the Government of National Unity ((GNU); as well as the Afrikaner Trek to America. He also gazes into the future of South Africa in 10 years' time. “…there will not be a single party that will govern South Africa alone in the next two or three elections…”

In his latest hard-hitting Sunday Show with BizNews, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM) , slams the way the African Congress (ANC) is operating without a national mandate in the Government of National Unity (GNU). “This government doesn't have a quorum. There's not a singular party in this country that received the right to establish itself on a 50 plus one quorum. So in my opinion, they are not a legitimate government,” he says. De Beer also lambasts the other parties in the GNU for their lack of effectiveness. “It's just a fact that the DA (Democratic Alliance) and the Freedom Front and the rest of the people in the GNU are not keeping them (the ANC) and him (the President) accountable and therefore we as the citizens are sitting in a canoe going up the stream and hearing the thunder of the water.” With a second group of Afrikaner “refugees” arriving in America, De Beer expressed outrage at President Cyril Ramaphosa's defense of the Kill the Boer song and says the matter should be pursued all the way to the International Criminal Court of Justice. (ICJ) As for the President doubling down on BEE policies, De Beer describes the stark contrast between Black Economic Empowerment and Afrikaner empowerment that built economically solid companies that bolstered the economy of this country to turn it into an economic giant. He also has harsh words for Mineral and Petroleum Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe as tensions are rising over proposed amendments to SA's mining legislation. Furthermore, he expresses grave concern over the registration move of an apparently fundamentalist political party, the Islamic State of Africa.
Cette semaine, C'est en France retrace la vie de Jules Verne, l'un des écrivains les plus traduits au monde. Cent vingt ans après sa mort, ses "Voyages extraordinaires", parmi lesquels "Vingt mille lieues sous les mers", "Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingt jours", "Voyage au centre de la Terre", continuent d'inspirer tous les passionnés de récits d'aventures. Ancêtre de la science-fiction pour les uns, visionnaire pour les autres, il était un grand travailleur, un vulgarisateur hors pair et a su créer, avec l'aide de son éditeur Pierre-Jules Hetzel, des mondes imaginaires utilisés, aujourd'hui encore, dans la culture populaire.
As public consequences of the ANC's destructive economic policies ratchet higher, Cyril Ramaphosa and his lackeys follow its bat-eared playbook - double down. The President's economically incoherent ramblings in Parliament this week are mirrored in his party's Mineral Resources Bill proposal that reinforces the idiocy which has driven the country into the bottom run of global mining destinations. The DA's long-time specialist, Mineral and Petroleum Resources spokesman James Lorimer unpacks the ANC's latest derangement with BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

One of South Africa's top economists, Efficient Group's Dawie Roodt, tears into what he believes is the sheer economic idiocy expressed by South African president Cyril Ramaphosa in Parliament yesterday. He says the billionaire ANC leader's redoubling of an approach which has boosted his own bank account but made South Africa the world's worst performing economy with the highest unemployment will accelerate the slide. Roodt spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

In Episode 119 of Spellbreakers, Matt Trump revisits the explosive issue of South Africa's white Afrikaner population and the rising rhetoric surrounding their fate. Triggered by President Trump's televised challenge to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Matt explores how what was once a fringe concern has erupted into a mainstream, high-stakes topic. He examines the viral “Kill the Boer” chants led by Julius Malema, the ANC's tolerance of racial incitement, and the media's coordinated campaign to label Trump's warnings as “debunked.” Amid video glitches and a self-described technical meltdown, Matt presses forward, linking Boer persecution to global anti-white sentiment, drawing parallels to American racial tensions and DEI politics. He contextualizes the issue within South Africa's colonial history, the legacy of the Boer Wars, and the role of the deep state, from Cecil Rhodes to modern narratives. The episode includes cultural notes on Afrikaner identity, references to boerfraus and farm life, and teases next week's topic on Rhodesia. Spellbreakers 119 is part history lesson, part sociopolitical commentary, and part personal testimony on censorship and narrative control, delivered with Matt's signature mix of introspection, humor, and unease.
Robert Hersov returns to South Africa after 31 years and exposes the country's political decay. From state capture and BEE extortion to expropriation without compensation, he calls out the ANC's racist, socialist policies, blaming Zuma and Ramaphosa for destroying a once-thriving nation.
In Episode 10 of Geopolitics with Ghost, host Gordon McCormick unpacks a geopolitical whirlwind. The show opens with Trump's Oval Office confrontation of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa over white farmer genocide and the ANC's corruption, including a bold video expose featuring Julius Malema and burial fields. Ghost dives deep into South Africa's post-apartheid politics, the Gupta brothers' corruption network, and Ramaphosa's entanglement in BRICS, Russia, and UAE relations. The episode also spotlights the latest nuclear developments, Trump's executive orders to revive domestic energy and a tense fifth round of U.S.-Iran negotiations in Rome, where uranium enrichment remains the red line. Ghost analyzes the dangerous escalation brewing between Israel and Iran, and Netanyahu's controversial appointment of a “messianic” new Shin Bet chief despite Supreme Court pushback. Add in rumors of drunken North Korean troops in Kursk, their rumored deployment to Burkina Faso, and escalating ICJ proceedings against Israel, and you've got one packed episode. Ghost ties it all together with sharp commentary, mind maps, and historical insight, questioning official narratives and highlighting the overlapping alliances driving the next phase of global realignment.
Robert Hersov unloads on South Africa's alignment with Iran and anti-American policies. He claims Iran funded the ANC's ICJ case against Israel and calls Ramaphosa a jellyfish. Hersov urges Trump to punish South Africa unless racist laws are repealed and corrupt officials are sanctioned.
Donald Trump exposed South Africa's leader Cyril Ramaphosa in the White House yesterday over what he refered to as white racism against the farmers in South Africa. Freddy Gray speaks to Errol Musk — father of Elon Musk — from Cape Town about Trump's confrontation. Errol shares personal experiences of being attacked on a farm, defends Trump's intervention, and reflects on the country's decline under ANC rule. The conversation also touches on Elon Musk's influence, family history, and a surprising political reversal within the Musk household.

À part leur passion commune pour le golf, il n'y a pas beaucoup d'atomes crochus entre l'États-Unien Donald Trump et le Sud-Africain Cyril Ramaphosa. Surtout depuis que le président américain a accusé l'Afrique du Sud de commettre un « génocide » contre les fermiers blancs afrikaners. Mais ce mercredi, les deux chefs d'Etat vont se rencontrer à la Maison Blanche. Donald Trump et Cyril Ramaphosa vont-ils être capables de trouver un terrain d'entente sur Gaza et sur les tarifs douaniers ? La chercheuse de l'International Crisis Group, par ailleurs Sud-Africaine, Liesl Louw, est notre invitée. RFI : Quelle est la vraie raison du raidissement des Américains contre l'Afrique du Sud ? Est-ce que c'est le sort des fermiers blancs afrikaners ou est-ce que c'est la plainte pour génocide que Pretoria a déposé contre Israël devant la Cour internationale de Justice ?Liesl Louw : Ce qui est sûr, c'est que la plainte contre Israël a beaucoup contribué à cette dégradation. Et puis aussi, depuis le début de 2022, le fait que l'Afrique du Sud ne voulait pas ouvertement condamner la Russie pour l'invasion de l'Ukraine et son insistance depuis aussi de vouloir être neutre dans ce conflit, l'Afrique du Sud étant membre des BRICS, etc. Donc il y a le conflit en Ukraine et puis sa ferme opposition à ce que fait Israël à Gaza.Et alors, sur cette question palestinienne que l'Afrique du Sud défend depuis la fin de l'apartheid, est-ce que vous pensez que Cyril Ramaphosa va lever le pied dans les prochaines semaines pour essayer de calmer le jeu avec Donald Trump?Moi, je pense que, politiquement, il ne va pas lever le pied. Il y a un large consensus en Afrique du Sud, même au sein de cette coalition du gouvernement d'unité nationale, pour condamner Israël. D'accord, il y a des nuances. L'Alliance démocratique, donc le parti de l'opposition qui fait partie du gouvernement aujourd'hui, n'a pas soutenu le procès à La Haye. Mais l'opposition de l'Afrique du Sud contre Israël a une popularité assez large. Je ne pense pas que c'est quelque chose que Cyril Ramaphosa va ouvertement changer dans cette position pro-palestinienne.À lire aussiAfrique du Sud: des diplomates aux États-Unis pour apaiser les tensions entre les deux paysDepuis le début de l'invasion de l'Ukraine il y a trois ans, l'Afrique du Sud a renforcé ses liens avec la Russie, notamment via les BRICS. Elle s'est aussi rapprochée de la Chine et de l'Iran. Est-ce que Cyril Ramaphosa n'a pas intérêt à rééquilibrer sa politique internationale s'il veut voir Donald Trump lors du sommet du G20 en novembre prochain en Afrique du Sud ?Oui, et je pense que ça, c'est vraiment l'enjeu diplomatique de cette rencontre. Parce que Ramaphosa, il faut se souvenir, à la fin du mois d'avril, il a invité Zelensky à Pretoria. Même si c'est très complexe, parce que l'Afrique du Sud, quand même, est un membre des BRICS. La Chine étant son plus grand partenaire économique. Et il y a encore très récemment des ministres du Congrès national africain (ANC) qui sont allés en Russie rencontrer Vladimir Poutine à Moscou. Donc, ce n'est pas facile de jouer les non-alignés.Sur le plan économique, les Américains sont le deuxième partenaire commercial de l'Afrique du Sud à qui ils achètent beaucoup de voitures et beaucoup de produits agricoles. Si demain Donald Trump augmente les taxes douanières de 30 %, comme il en a agité la menace le mois dernier, est-ce que cela ne risque pas de ruiner beaucoup d'agriculteurs et beaucoup d'ouvriers agricoles ?Oui, absolument. Ça, c'est vraiment la vraie raison pour cette visite et pour l'Afrique du Sud qui a un taux de chômage de 32 %. Et si encore, dans certaines zones où il y a des grandes fabriques d'automobiles, ces usines venaient à fermer, des dizaines de milliers de gens pourraient perdre leur travail et cela aggraverait le taux de chômage. Donc l'agriculture, le secteur automobile sont absolument clé pour l'Afrique du Sud.À lire aussiAfrique du Sud: les premiers «réfugiés» blancs afrikaners partis pour les États-UnisLe porte-parole de la présidence sud-africaine a évoqué il y a quelques jours un éventuel accord avec les États-Unis dans le domaine des terres rares et des métaux stratégiques comme le manganèse. Est-ce que ce serait une façon d'amadouer le président américain par un deal à la façon Volodymyr Zelensky ?Oui, absolument. Et depuis quelque temps, nous regardons de près où sont les terres rares. L'Afrique du Sud est un grand pays minier, bien sûr, et l'Afrique du Sud a des ressources stratégiques : manganèse, platine, chrome. Mais en ce qui concerne les terres rares, l'Afrique du Sud n'est pas un grand producteur de terres rares. Donc, depuis quelque temps, des économistes, des diplomates, tout le monde réfléchit, même dans les médias. Il y a énormément de débats autour de ce que l'Afrique du Sud peut offrir. Comment réparer cette relation qui est extrêmement importante, même s'il y a des choses où l'Afrique du Sud et les États-Unis ne sont pas d'accord ? La question d'Israël, par exemple. Mais pour réparer cette relation très importante, l'Afrique du Sud souhaite mettre sur la table ses atouts économiques.

President Cyril Ramaphosa vertrek vandag na die VSA om gespanne verhoudings te herstel en bewerings van 'n Afrikaner-volksmoord in Suid-Afrika te bestry. Ramaphosa het tydens die induksie van die ANC in die Noord-Kaap se Provinsiale Uitvoerende Komitee gesê hy sal die bewerings ferm verwerp en noem dit disinformasie wat gebruik word deur individue wat asiel in die VSA soek. Hy het beklemtoon daar is geen volksmoord nie, aangesien Suid-Afrikaners nie dade van haat of vergelding teenoor ander pleeg nie:

Le 13 mars 2024, l'Ocean Viking met le cap sur un bateau en bois qui lui a été signalé. Les sauveteurs tombent par hasard sur un autre bateau, un canot pneumatique qui transporte 23 migrants. Cela fait sept jours qu'ils sont à la dérive, environ 65 personnes sont déjà mortes. Un rapport d'Alarm Phone met en cause les garde-côtes italiens et Frontex : selon leurs informations, ce bateau a été sciemment laissé à la dérive. Les survivants racontent ce qu'il s'est joué à bord. De notre correspondante à Ancône,C'est la deuxième nuit que la situation commence à se dégrader. Les vagues sont énormes, le moteur ne fonctionne plus. Depuis plusieurs heures, le bateau pneumatique dérive au large des côtes libyennes et se remplit d'eau qu'il faut écoper sans cesse. Seules les lumières d'une plateforme pétrolière éclairent la nuit noire. Certains passagers ont des hallucinations, se souvient Ali, qui a 17 ans lors du voyage : « Un homme disait : ''Je vais marcher, me mettre debout et monter dans la voiture." Il délirait, mais à ce moment-là, personne n'était mort. » Cette traversée, c'est le premier face à face d'Ali avec la mort. Dès le deuxième jour, il n'y a plus rien à manger et de l'eau de mer comme seule boisson. À partir du quatrième jour, les morts s'accélèrent : « Certains sautaient dans l'eau, mais c'étaient eux qui voulaient le faire, raconte le jeune homme. Personne ne les a poussés. Parfois, ils voyaient un bateau au loin et sautaient par-dessus bord pour le rejoindre. » De l'autre côté du bateau, Modou, 21 ans, reste uniquement concentré sur son objectif : atteindre l'Europe. Comme Ali, il essaie de ne pas dormir ou le moins possible et de ne penser qu'à rester en vie. C'est la deuxième fois qu'il tente de monter à bord d'un bateau après que le premier a coulé à quelques mètres de la plage du départ en Libye. « J'ai subi beaucoup de tortures, beaucoup de problèmes... Il fallait que je parte, confie Modou. J'ai un vécu très difficile. Je vivais en Casamance, au Sénégal, dans la zone la plus difficile. À cinq ans, je me suis séparé de ma mère. J'ai toujours travaillé seul. C'est cette force qui m'a donné cette énergie. » À lire aussiRoyaume-Uni: lancement d'une commission d'enquête sur le pire naufrage de migrants survenu dans la MancheAu total, 23 personnes ont survécu, des Gambiens, Maliens et Sénégalais. Ils vivent aujourd'hui en Italie où ils attendent leurs papiers, et l'un d'entre eux vit en Espagne. Tous ont refusé de reparler de ce voyage et ont demandé à Modou de parler pour eux. « La partie la plus importante pour lui, affirme-t-il au nom de son camarade, c'est de raconter vraiment la situation de tous ceux qui ont perdu la vie en mer qui et qui ne sont pas arrivés jusqu'ici. Ce sont des personnes qui étaient chargées d'une mission, d'un objectif, pour apporter de l'espérance à leur famille. » En 2024, au moins 2 475 personnes migrantes sont mortes en Méditerranée et plus de 500 depuis le début de l'année.

Ivory Coast's main opposition leader Tidjane Thiam has been struck off the electoral list. The judiciary has declared he is ineligible to run in October's presidential election due to his citizenship.
