Die premier van KwaZulu-Natal, Thami Ntuli, sê die regering het begin om met die boubedryf oor voldoening aan regulasies te praat nadat 'n tempel in Durban ineengestort het. Afriforum se bewering dat ten minste twee joernaliste deur die regering betaal word om die burgerregte-organisasie te diskretiteer, laat die wenkbroue lig. Die SAKP is onseker oor sy alliansie met die ANC. Australië se eerste minister Anthony Albanese sê sy regering sal alles doen wat nodig is om antisemitisme uit te roei ná die skietaanval op Bondi Beach in Sydney.

As 2025 draws to a close, we reflect on the key political events that defined South Africa. The Government of National Unity endured amid intense negotiations and disputes over budget and policy differences, following the ANC's historic loss of majority in 2024. President Cyril Ramaphosa hosted the landmark G20 summit in Johannesburg, the first on African soil, though US President Donald Trump boycotted it, citing unfounded claims of white genocide. Explosive revelations from Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi dominated headlines, leading to the Madlanga Commission probing systemic corruption, political interference and criminal infiltration in law enforcement. The SACP resolved to contest future elections independently of the Tripartite Alliance. Jacob Zuma's MK Party faced internal turmoil with suspensions, expulsions, and allegations of recruiting South Africans for the Russia-Ukraine war. Meanwhile, EFF leader Julius Malema was convicted on firearm charges for discharging a rifle at a 2018 rally. For expert analysis on these stories and their implications for 2026, Elvis Presslin spoke to political analyst Dr. Dale McKinley, an independent writer, researcher, and lecturer

President Cyril Ramaphosa het gewaarsku elemente in die regering van nasionale eenheid probeer om Suid-Afrika se hervormingsagenda te verswak. Dit volg op die DA wat 'n punt daarvan maak om hof toe te gaan met beleidsrigtings waarmee hulle nie saamstem nie, insluitend die Nasionale Gesondheidsversekering-finansieringsplan en swart bemagtiging. Ramaphosa sê die RNE is 'n taktiese ingreep wat nie die ANC se langtermynstrategie vir fundamentele transformasie verander nie:

Cyril Ramaphosa remains one of the most skilful politicians in the ANC, analysts say, despite party turmoil. His ability to manage the Government of National Unity (GNU) and counter critics has kept him firmly in power, at least for now. Leadership decisions are heavily influenced by party power brokers and the intellectual capital that once guided its strategy has largely dissipated. Susan Booysen says: “He survived quite a few assaults and he's countering the GNU critics quite consistently. Playing the renewal cards very clearly as if the fact that the ANC has dipped below 50% has not happened under his rule — that was one that we've totally overlooked — and how he's really made the coalition and GNU as if this is a great achievement.” Bongani Ngqulunga adds that Ramaphosa has often been underestimated. “He's a lot more skilful politician than sometimes we give him credit for. It is not in the interest of the contenders — those who want to succeed him — to see him leave right now. I don't think we have someone powerful enough in the ANC to cobble together a coalition that could make that person [president].” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Until the South African Communist Party and African National Congress have reached an agreement on the Communist party's decision to contest the 2026 local government elections alone, SACP members must recuse themselves from ANC elections structures. This was just one of the resolutions of the ANC's 5th National General Council that concluded on Thursday. The SACP's decision concerns the ANC as many of its members have dual membership to both parties with implications on which party to vote and campaign for. To take a deeper look at the state of the tripartite alliance following the ANC's 5th National General Council, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to SACP Spokesperson Mbulelo Mandlana and Political Analyst from the University of the Free State, Prof. Sethulego Matebesi...

ANC-president Cyril Ramaphosa sê die 2026 munisipale verkiesing sal ʼn belangrike toets wees om te bepaal tot watter mate die party daarin geslaag het om die kieserskorps se ondersteuning en vertroue te hernu. Hy het gisteraand die slotrede gelewer by die vyfde Nasionale Algemene Raad in Boksburg, Gauteng. Ramaphosa sê om te wen, moet die ANC die mees toegewyde, eerlike en bevoegde kandidate benoem:

President Cyril Ramaphosa has directed SACP members on ANC election committees to step aside from planning meetings. The directive comes after the SACP formally resolved to contest the 2026 local government elections independently for the first time since 1994. Ramaphosa says dual members cannot take part in ANC strategy discussions while the SACP is preparing to stand against the governing party. Elvis Presslin spoke to Political commentator, Abner Mosaase

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Kommunisteparty waarsku hy sal enige poging om dubbele SAKP- en ANC-lidmaatskap af te skaf, teenstaan. Dit volg nadat die ANC se nasionale uitvoerende komitee dubbele lidmaatskap verwerp het omdat die SAKP onafhanklik aan verkiesings wil deelneem. SAKP-woordvoerder, Mbulelo Mandlana, sê enige poging om dubbele lidmaatskap te ondermyn sal die politieke raamwerk wat die nasionale hervormingsprojek bymekaar hou, fundamenteel verander:

Value investor Piet Viljoen breaks down Mr Price's German gamble, Spar's costly EU exit, Famous Brands' offshore stumble, and why HCI's buybacks make far more sense than chasing “expensive fairy tales” abroad. From Eskom's industrial rescue talks to Transnet's slow turnaround and the ANC's political bluster, Viljoen gives Alec Hogg a brutally honest roadmap for where South Africans should – and shouldn't – put their money.

The ANC Youth League in Johannesburg has congratulated the ANC's newly elected Regional Executive Committee, led by Chairperson Loyiso Masuku. The League says the 16th Regional Conference was a success, showcasing unity and commitment to renewal and service. The league is calling for youth prioritisation in City administration and entities and an urgent performance review of ANC-deployed departments in government. Elvis Presslin spoke to Nkhobo Khomongoe, ANCYL Regional Convener for the Greater Johannesburg Region

The ANC's top leadership has rejected the idea of SACP members holding dual membership with the party, amid a row over the SACP's decision to contest elections outside the tripartite alliance. The ANC's secretary-general, Fikile Mbalula, says the party's national executive committee has given the SACP an ultimatum: to backtrack on its decision or lose its ANC membership. Elvis Presslin spoke to COSATU Parliamentary Coordinator, Matthew Parks

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê idees van wit oppergesag en valse bewerings van wit vervolging hou 'n bedreiging in vir Suid-Afrika se eenheid, soewereiniteit en internasionale betrekkinge. Ramaphosa het tydens die ANC-konferensie in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni, 'n beroep gedoen op wêreldwye pogings om hierdie mites om te keer. Hy het bygevoeg dat Suid-Afrika, te midde van onderhandelings met die VSA oor handel, ook sy uitvoermarkte diversifiseer:

Die ANC se sekretaris-generaal, Fikile Mbalula, sê die party se verliese in die verkiesing was nie per ongeluk nie, maar is veroorsaak deur korrupsie, staatskaping, mislukte dienslewering en ekonomiese stagnasie. Hy het gister die party se middeltermyn-verslag by die vyfde Nasionale Algemene Raad in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni, gelewer. Mbalula sê die terugslag wat die ANC in 2024 se nasionale en provinsiale verkiesings gely het, was erger in KwaZulu-Natal en Gauteng:

ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa says the party must renew itself or risk becoming irrelevant. Speaking at the National General Council in Ekurhuleni, Ramaphosa emphasized the need to tackle factionalism before the ANC's 120th anniversary celebrations. The council is assessing the implementation of resolutions from the 2022 National Conference. Ramaphosa's warning comes amid concerns about the party's internal divisions and its impact on governance. Elvis Presslin spoke to former ANC member and Political analyst, Phapano Phasha

John Maytham is joined by Stephen Friedman, political analyst and one of South Africa’s most respected political thinkers.

ANC's 5th National General Council opens amid calls for renewal by Radio Islam

Lester Kiewit speaks to Faiez Jacobs, of the ANC, about why this year’s National General Council is a critical one for the direction of the party. In a note to party delegates he writes: “We did not fight for a shadow state run by mafias in uniform. We did not fight to look away while whistle-blowers are killed. Delegates are not here to perform. You are here to decide direction, set priorities, and enforce accountability.

ANC Deputy President Paul Mashatile has dismissed claims that President Cyril Ramaphosa will not complete his five-year term. Speaking at a media briefing with the Parliamentary Press Gallery Association on Thursday, Mashatile said the upcoming ANC National General Council (NGC) discussions should not be misinterpreted as succession battles. The ANC is preparing for its National General Council, which starts tomorrow (8–11 December) at the Birchwood Hotel and Conference Centre in Boksburg. The four-day meeting is intended to review and assess the party's implementation of resolutions from the ANC's 55th National Conference in 2022.

The Congress of South African Trade Unions marks its 40th anniversary with a celebratory rally taking place at Dobsonville Stadium. COSATU, founded at the height of apartheid, grew into a powerful voice for workers, driving national strikes, shaping labour policy, and championing key gains such as the minimum wage, gender equality, HIV treatment access, and major economic interventions, including support for Eskom and job-saving efforts. The union's milestone comes as the Tripartite Alliance faces increasing internal strife. The SACP has signalled plans to contest the 2026 local government elections independently, accusing the ANC of repeatedly failing to honour commitments to reconfigure the alliance. To look at the relevance and impact of trade unions in post-democratic South Africa, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Mbhazima Shilowa, former premier of Gauteng and former general secretary of Cosatu

Die DA in die Wes-Kaap het die nasionale ANC regering gekritiseer nadat die SAPD se misdaadstatistieke vir April tot September 2 308 moorde en meer as 133 000 ernstige misdade aandui. Benedicta van Minnen van die party sê die nasionale regering het versuim om polisiëring voldoende te befonds, wat gemeenskappe kwesbaar laat. Van Minnen sê die DA doen 'n beroep op 'n hersiening van SAPD-leierskap en afgewentelde provinsiale polisiëringsmagte om veiligheid te verbeter.

AfriForum sê Suid-Afrika se diplomatieke krisis met Amerika kon vermy gewees het. Uitvoerende hoof Kallie Kriel het ANC-leiers gekritiseer omdat hulle oplossings geïgnoreer het, die Iranse ambassadeur genooi het en anti-Amerikaanse verklarings gemaak het. Hy vra beslissende optrede teen plaasmoorde en eiendomsregte, insluitend die veroordeling van die "Kill the Boer"-dreunsang. Kriel sê voorkeur moet gegee word aan plaasmoorde en dele van die Onteieningswet moet hersien word om eiendom te beskerm en bestendigheid te bevorder:

In a “devastating” night for the African National Congress (ANC), the party suffered by-election losses in the Eastern Cape, the Northern Cape, and in KwaZulu-Natal. In this edition of The Electoral Road Show, analyst Wayne Sussman speaks to Chris Steyn about the night's results: In Mandeni, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MKP) took the ward with over 60% of the vote with the ANC falling from 65% to 30%. In Douglas (Siyancuma), the ANC suffered a shock defeat with its vote share falling from 56% to 25% as an independent took 47% of the vote. In the Kou-Kamma municipality, the ANC lost another ward to the Patriotic Alliance (PA) when it grabbed 44% of the vote, up from 7%. On top of these losses, the ANC also fared poorly in President Cyril Ramaphosa's home ward, Ward 90 Johannesburg, where the Democratic Alliance (DA) vote share shot up from 70% to 97%, and the ANC's fell from 11% to 3%. The party was hit with another setback in Gauteng ANC heartland, where its vote share fell from 76% to 49% in Khutsong on the West Rand. It also suffered a big drop in Pellsrus, Jeffreys Bay, from 44% to 25%. And in another slide for the ANC, this time in Makana, formerly Grahamstown - where the ANC had been rock solid - it went down from 67% to 50%. Here, the DA were the big winners, surging from 1% of the vote to 26%. Sussman lays out the various coalition options now open to the ANC.

A growing number of people are exploring hearing help earlier, and LXE Hearing believes there is a place for devices that bridge the gap between everyday earbuds and traditional hearing aids. In a detailed discussion, LXE Chief Commercial Officer Brian Maguire explains how the newly formed company—created from the merger of Lexie, hearX, and Eargo—is blending strong hardware engineering with deep software expertise to develop more accessible hearing solutions. Maguire describes LXE's portfolio, from diagnostics and screening tools to OTC devices, and emphasizes the group's shared mission: helping people better understand their hearing and giving them approachable, affordable entry points into amplification.The conversation centers on the Lexie H1 hearing buds, LXE's new earbud-style hearing device designed for situational use. Maguire explains that while traditional CIC and RIC hearing aids remain their core offerings, a growing group of consumers wants an option that boosts hearing only when needed—especially in noisy environments—without the commitment of full-time wear. He highlights the H1's dual purpose: it functions as a high-quality, everyday wireless earbud with streaming and ANC, but also incorporates hearing amplification with preset programs, adjustable gain through the app, reduced occlusion, and features like directivity and noise reduction for speech-in-noise challenges.Maguire stresses that the H1 isn't meant to replace all-day devices but to complement them, helping newcomers try amplification sooner and giving existing hearing aid users a tool for specific listening situations. With flexible support, a 45-day risk-free trial, and a $299 price point, he says LXE hopes the H1 will encourage more people to take their first steps toward hearing improvement—at a time when awareness and comfort with ear-worn tech are rapidly increasing.Lexie H1 Hearing Buds press release: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/hearing-technologies/2025/lexie-hearing-h1-hearing-buds/Be sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest episodes each week and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn, Instagram and X.- https://x.com/WeekinHearing- https://www.instagram.com/thisweekinhearing/- https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearingVisit us at: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/thisweek/

Cosatu verwelkom die voormalige minister van Openbare Ondernemings, Malusi Gigaba, se gewilligheid om sy volle samewerking aan die howe en wetstoepassing te bied. Hy het Dinsdag in die Palm Ridge-landdroshof verskyn op aanklagte van korrupsie wat verband hou met Transnet. Cosatu se woordvoerder, Matthew Parks, sê gegewe Gigaba se senior leiersposisies in die parlement, asook dat hy 'n lid van die ANC se Nasionale Uitvoerende Komitee is, is dit noodsaaklik dat die party se opsystaan-resolusie sonder versuim toegepas word:

Die ANC doen 'n beroep op die parlement om die Beskermingswetsontwerp vir Verklikkers te bespoedig om die veiligheid van informante te verseker. Die party sê die beskerming van verklikkers is noodsaaklik om korrupsie uit te roei, wetstoepassing te beskerm en staatsinstellings te versterk. Die sekretaris-generaal van die ANC, Fikile Mbalula, het tydens 'n media inligtingsessie oor die uitkomste van die nasionale uitvoerende komitee gesê die beskerming van verklikkers sal help om korrupsie en kriminele aktiwiteite te ontbloot terwyl dit aanspreeklikheid binne die regering en polisie versterk:

Die leier van die Patriotic Alliance en minister van sport, Gayton McKenzie, sê dit sou 'n groot fout wees van die ANC om president Cyril Ramaphosa te verwyder. Dit volg op toenemende gerugte rondom sy moontlike bedanking ná hierdie naweek se G20-leiersberaad. McKenzie het op Facebook Live gesê inflasie wat op die laagste in jare is en verbeterde werkskepping in die derde kwartaal toon die regering van nasionale eenheid stuur die land in die regte rigting:

Die voorsitter van die ANC se nasionale uitvoerende komitee vir ekonomiese transformasie, Zuko Godlimpi, sê die DA se beswaar teen swartbemagtiging is gebaseer op vals inligting. Godlimpi het tydens die vergadering van die nasionale uitvoerende komitee in Ekurhuleni gepraat.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss the AirPods Pro 3 and the future of the AirPods lineup as a whole. Apple introduced the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ in September, featuring a more refined design, improved active noise cancelation (ANC), enhanced sound quality, foam ear tips in five sizes, and heart rate monitoring for workouts. After using the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ for two months, we talk through our experience with the noticeably different fit, improved ANC, and more. We also discuss the reports from some users who are experiencing an ongoing static issue with the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌. Apple does seem to be replacing affected units for customers who are bothered by the noise, which appears to be audible when ANC is active but no sound is playing. Other users have been hearing a high-pitched whine when on airplanes, which could be related to pressure. Not all ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ units are experiencing the issue, but it sounds like Apple is investigating. Looking to the future, another version of the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ are expected to launch next year featuring infrared cameras for gesture controls and improved Vision Pro integration. This model is likely to be a more premium offering available alongside the current model at a higher price point. Apple is believed to be working on a next-generation H3 chip for future AirPods models. The AirPods 5 are in development, with two models just like the current version. The AirPods Max 2 are also in the works, touting a lighter design and likely a newer chip with features that are now noticeably absent from the device such as adaptive transparency and Siricommands. They are reportedly due to enter mass production in 2027 at the earliest. Connect with quality therapists and mental health experts who specialize in you at https://www.rula.com/mac #rulapod

Tyler considers Winnie and Nelson: Portrait of a Marriage one of the best books of the last decade, and its author Jonny Steinberg one of the most underrated writers and thinkers—in North America, at least. Steinberg's particular genius lies in getting uncomfortably close to difficult truths through immersive research—spending 350 hours in police ride-alongs, years studying prison gangs and their century-old oral histories, following a Somali refugee's journey across East Africa—and then rendering what he finds with a novelist's emotional insight. Tyler and Jonny discuss why South African police only feel comfortable responding to domestic violence calls, how to fix policing, the ghettoization of crime, how prison gangs regulate behavior through century-old rituals, how apartheid led to mass incarceration and how it manifested in prisons, why Nelson Mandela never really knew his wife Winnie and the many masks they each wore, what went wrong with the ANC, why the judiciary maintained its independence but not its quality, whether Tyler should buy land in Durban, the art scene in Johannesburg, how COVID gave statism a new lease on life, why the best South African novels may still be ahead, his forthcoming biography of Cecil Rhodes, why English families weren't foolish to move to Rhodesia in the 1920s, where to take an ideal two-week trip around South Africa, and more.
