What do the love story of Habagat & Amihan have to do with ants and elephants? Carmina and Patch discuss the mythology of the Philippines' monsoons, how early Filipinos dealt with this phenomenon, and current day views about climate change. They talk about how Tropical Cyclone Haiyan (also known as Yolanda) gained global attention through Yeb Saño's emotional speech at the 19th conference of parties (COP) to the UN in 2013 and his climate justice efforts. They also introduce us to Red Constantino and his impactful essay “How the Ants Move the Elephants in Paris,” which chronicled the developing nations' collective efforts in 2015 to move developed nations towards a more equitable Paris Agreement. Finally, they attempt to inspire hope, and like the ants in Red's essay, call all of us to action.   Learn more: Increased Risk of Diseases Due To Typhoons, Climate Change In Western Pacific, Agri-Losses, NYT: Typhoon in Philippines Casts Long Shadow Over U.N.

The Democratic Alliance is opposing the potential sale or lease of the Pretoria City Hall to the Iranian Embassy. The DA cites concerns over the city's historical asset being given to a foreign government. The party has also questioned the benefits of such a deal, pointing to Iran's close ties with the ANC rather than the South African people and the potential negative impact on relations with the United States, a key trading partner. Elvis Presslin spoke to DA Tshwane Caucus Leader, Cilliers Brink

Lester Kiewit speaks to former DA spokesperson on public enterprises, Ghaleb Cachalia about how the Democratic Alliance is having to compromise on its foreign policy and let the ANC take the lead in the government of national unity.

Oudpresident Joaquim Chissano van Mosambiek sê Afrika se bevrydingsbewegings het afgedwaal van hul kernmissie om die mense te dien. Tydens die ANC-bevrydingsbewegingsberaad in Johannesburg het Chissano besin oor vorige foute, insluitend verswakte demokratiese instellings, die wegbeweeg van landsburgers en die snoer van meningsverskille. Hy het 'n beroep gedoen op hernude toewyding aan die jeug, vroue en inklusiewe regering, en leiers aangespoor om die nalatenskap van Afrika se bevrydingshelde te eerbiedig:

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:

Legislation to review the bilateral relationship between the United States and South Africa has passed through a Foreign Affairs Committee in the House of Representatives- an early step in a long process of the bill actually becoming law. Authored and introduced by Republican Congressman Ronny Jackson in April, the U.S.- South Africa Bilateral Relations Review Act of 2025 is viewed as part of efforts to provide President Donald Trump with the tools necessary to impose sanctions on South African officials in government - and the ANC in particular - who choose to support American adversaries like China, Russia and Iran. Sherwin Bryce-Pease reported on the committee vote and how the process is likely to unfold before Jon Gericke spoke to Dr. Kingsley Makhubela, Former Diplomat & Conflict Resolution Expert as well as Mikatekiso Kubayi a Senior Researcher at the Institute of Global Dialogue.

Its Day Two of the 2025 Liberation Movements Summit in Kempton Park, hosted by the ANC under the theme 'Defending the Liberation Gains. The summit unites six Southern African liberation movements, including SWAPO from Namibia, FRELIMO from Mozambique , and Zimbabwe's ZANU-PF. The ANC says the gathering will chart a new way forward around organisational renewal and strategic unity. Meanwhile, the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania - PAC - says it will use the platform to stress that true liberation means land restitution and the full dismantling of colonial systems.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Tshidi Madia, Associate Political Editor, as she brings sharp insight and political depth to another turbulent week in South African politics on The Political Desk. She unpacks the investigation into Kenny Kunene, found at the home of a murder accused, and questions whether this could damage his standing in Johannesburg or be another scandal he survives. They then examine President Ramaphosa’s suspension of Andrew Chauke, alleged to have enabled State Capture—probing whether this move is genuine accountability or political optics. Madia also reflects on the ousting of Nkabane and the entry of Buti Manamela into Higher Education, questioning if it's about performance or ANC factionalism. In her Politricking segment, she revisits her conversation with Helen Zille, drawing sharp contrasts between her governance vision and the current instability within the ANC. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Afslaers sê daar kleef 'n stigma aan die Gupta-huise in Johannesburg, want net een van drie eiendomme is gister verkoop. Hoe groot is die druk van binne die ANC om van die DA as 'n RNE-vennoot ontslae te raak? 'n Kenner sê moontlike sanksies teen ANC-politici sal nie noodwendig alle Suid-Afrikaners benadeel nie. Nadat die enkele Knysna-olifant in die Tuinroetestreek van die Wes-Kaap onlangs waargeneem is, vra SANParke die publiek om nié die ligging van die dier bekend te maak nie.

The African National Congress in the Eastern Cape is reeling from the assassination of Comrade Xoliseka Lali, Chief Whip of Emalahleni Local Municipality in the Chris Hani District. His body was discovered this week in Komani, where he resided. The ANC strongly condemns this brutal killing, calling it an act of barbarism that undermines public service and community development. To discuss this further Elvis Presslin spoke to ANC Eastern Cape Spokesperson, Gift Ngqondi

Local government elections are set to be held in 2026, and the political landscape is looking everything but predictable, especially when it comes to the growth of the Patriotic Alliance.

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”. 

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:

Die Toedelingswetsontwerp word in die Nasionale Vergadering goedgekeur. Die Wes-Kaapse landbousektor wag in spanning op die 30%-tarief wat op 1 Augustus deur die VSA ingestel word. Ons praat hieroor met die bestuurshoof van Agri Wes-Kaap. Die VSA is 'n tree nader om sanksies teen die ANC-leierskap in te stel.

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. Meanwhile, back home, a small ANC concession on corruption, the firing of Minister Nkabane, paved the way for the GNU's first budget to near completion after months of political fights and tensions, and former chief justice Zondo speaks out on the weakness of the Hawks and the impact of the death of the famous Scorpions NPA unit.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Musi Maimane, Chairperson of Parliament’s Standing Committee on Appropriations, as the Government of National Unity (GNU) faces its most critical moment yet: passing the national budget. The ANC has spent the past week scrambling for support, with the DA refusing to back the Appropriations Bill if it funds ANC ministers implicated in misconduct. In a high-stakes move, President Ramaphosa fired Minister Nkabane in an attempt to secure DA votes, but will it be enough? A failed budget would not only deal a blow to the GNU’s stability but could also halt funding for essential services like schools, hospitals, and public sector salaries. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

The US's punitive Jackson Bill, which threatens harsh punishment for South Africa including personal financial sanctions on leading ANC members, has taken another big step towards becoming law. Its sponsor, former White House medical chief Ronny Jackson, celebrated its passing through the committee stage by tweeting that it will give President Trump “the tools necessary to hold their corrupt government accountable.” Joshua Meservey, a senior fellow at Washington's prestigious Hudson Institute, provides context in this interview with BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

In today's BizNews Briefing, a US-SA sanctions bill has advanced from the US House Committee, potentially targeting ANC officials. President Ramaphosa's sacking of Education Minister Nkabane has eased GNU tensions before a key budget vote, though Nkabane insists she's innocent. US President Trump accuses Fed Chair Powell of politically motivated high rates, calling him a “numskull”. Republican Ralph Norman says Epstein files will be released soon. Nigeria's economy gets a 30% paper upgrade, but still trails South Africa. And Joburg residents fight park “alienation”.

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. He argues that instead of prioritising bold reforms, the coalition is paralysed by internal wrangling and political turf wars — a pattern that mirrors years of ANC-led indecision.

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:

Fall-out from the bombshell dropped by General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, the dangers of whistleblowing in South Africa are back in the spotlight. On the latest Sunday Show, journalist Chris Steyn speaks to Forensic Attorney Sarah Burger about the killings, character assassinations and income destruction of whistleblowers who expose politicians and the politically connected. “I believe that a lot of the prominent whistleblowers in South Africa have been politically targeted. And that is why they sit 10 years on without any movement in those matters and without, for instance, larger accounting firms being held accountable. So there is a lot of political interference.” Burger says one of the reasons there is a lack of reforms to protect whistleblowers is to ensure instead that corrupt politicians and their associates stay protected. “Absolutely, it is not in their interest to stop feeding…” Burger also describes the horrors being endured by her and top Labour Lawyer Bradley Conradie after they had spent years reporting and exposing malfeasance and corruption at Fort Hare University. “…last year in 2024, shortly before the ANC and the elections and the campaigning took place, myself and Bradley were arrested in a militarised fashion, discredited, intimidated, embarrassed - and all of the good work that we did there over four and six years now hangs in the balance.” Despite currently fighting an epic legal battle for professional survival, Burger urges whistleblowers to keep exposing corruption.

A new report from the Middle East Africa Research Institute (MEARI) warns that South Africa's deepening relationship with Iran carries significant consequences—undermining democratic values and threatening strategic interests, particularly with the United States.In an interview with BizNews, MEARI's Benji Shulman expands on the report's findings, raising the alarm over what he sees as a troubling alignment with an authoritarian regime. He argues that South Africa's engagement with Iran risks damaging its constitutional integrity and jeopardising trade with the US, where Iran is increasingly viewed as a hostile actor. Shulman also details the ANC's historical and financial ties to Iran, including alleged funding linked to South Africa's International Court of Justice case against Israel, and MTN's business interests in Iran's cellular market. While Iran gains a rare ally in the Global South, Shulman questions what South Africa stands to gain—suggesting the relationship may be less about diplomacy and more about the Ramaphosa government being part of a strategic alignment against Israel and the United States.
