A delegation from South Africa's Patriotic Alliance is visiting Israel this week on a trip organized by South African Friends of Israel (SAFI). The visit comes despite the tension between the two countries and the hostile stance of Pretoria's ruling ANC towards Israel. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Bafana Modise from SAFI.

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.
African National Congress (ANC) policies are out of step with the majority - between 65 and 79% - of its remaining self-identified supporters. That is the finding of recent polling by the South African Institute of Race Relations (IRR). In this interview with BizNews, Hermann Pretorius who wrote the report says: “…the most hard-hitting finding is that on all of these policies investigated in this report, from merit-based appointments, procurement spending, the Expropriation Act, government focus on jobs and choice-based empowerment programs, the ANC is currently at odds with its own voters by at least a two-thirds majority of its own base.” He warns that unless the ANC acts “rapidly” to bring the party back in touch with its own supporters, it might fall “even lower than the 29.7%, which we are polling them at at the moment”. Pretorius outlines what former President Jacob Zuma's MKP - that supports property rights and merit-based appointments - would have to do to “take another few chunks out of ANC support by going where the ANC supporters actually want the ANC to go”. Meanwhile, he warns that the Democratic Alliance (DA) should not to allow opposing messages to come from the DA in government and the DA in the political party. “I sat next to Minister (Dean) MacPherson on the panel at NAMPO when he took this rather bizarre position of defending the Expropriation Act and undermining his own party's position, trotting out ANC talking point after ANC talking point. It was quite astonishing to hear a minister either lie about a piece of legislation he's responsible for or not understanding it.”

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:
“…if the DA (Democratic Alliance) does not…get up and fight, no matter if it costs…the seats of power… if we are going on the trajectory we are today,… the loss of a country will be blamed, not on the ANC (African National Congress)…but because...of the Democratic Alliance not being now able to get up and freely defend us on a surgical basis like they previously had.” This is the warning from United Independent Movement (UIM) President Neil De Beer who says: “…you've got DA ministers sitting in the exact Cabinet of wolves, of the draconian dragons, and having to be silenced because they serve an overlord.” He also gives his take on the members of Team SA facing US President Donald Trump later this week; later this week; lists his reasons for calling President Cyril Ramaphosa “Coward Number One”; and weighs in on Minerals and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe's “nepo baby” son Buyambo Mantashe. De Beer says that South Africa is falling apart because it “cannot muster any more defense against an ANC who annihilates us in politics, disregards the GNU, absolutely takes us for fools and continues to run this country as if they are still in power.” He says someone will have to “take out an atomic bomb and drop it in” the GNU because “…we are in bigger trouble than what we thought in this GNU. We are better outside than what we are within”. He also notes that even Police Minister Senzo Mchunu has gone quiet. “This is when the dark crude oil of the ANC just slithers down your body and encapsulates you like being in a barrel of oil.” Meanwhile, De Beer comments on the prospects of another candidate for the ANC's next presidency; as well as former Vlakplaas Commander Colonel Eugene de Kock - who “went to jail for many generals and their sins” - remerging from the shadows in the case of the Cradock Four.

The Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr. Nobuhle Nkabane, has withdrawn the appointments of Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs) chairpersons amid allegations of cronyism and political interference. The move follows public outcry over the appointment of individuals with alleged ANC connections, including Gwede Mantashe's son and a former KZN Premier. Elvis Presslin spoke to EFF MP, Sihle Lonzi, to discuss the implications of this decision
The Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr. Nobuhle Nkabane has announced the withdrawal of recently appointed chairpersons of Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs) with immediate effect. This after backlash that condemned the ANC's alleged attempts to capture Sector SETAs through alleged crony appointments. To elaborate further on the Union's concerns, Elvis Presslin spoke to GIWUSA President, Mametlwe Sebei
The African National Congress (ANC) had a strong by-election night last night. In this interview with BizNews, Election Analyst Wayne Sussman says it was “either their second best night or you could say equal their best night since 2024.” In Soweto, they had “resolute” support - despite uMkhonto weSizwe's MKP) Floyd Shivambo and Julius Malema of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) campaigning there. The ANC also had “solid” support in the uMgungundlovu district, (the second most populous district in KwaZulu-Natal) where, in 2024, MKP won 50% of the vote. And the ANC withstood an onslaught from the Patriotic Alliance (PA) and the Namakwa Civic Movement to clock up another win in the Northern Cape, where - since the 2024 election - it has won four wards off opposition parties. Sussman identifies Premier Zamani Saul as a possible future party leader. “If I…was the ANC, I would look strongly, not just at him for a leader at the next National Elective Congress, but also someone who's clearly doing something right…” As for the Democratic Alliance (DA) holding on to a ward Stellenbosch, he notes the 7% voter turn-out and points out that “they have some work to do”. Sussman also shares his take on the most competitive races in the next round of by-elections on May 28.
Today on The Midday Report, host Tshidi Madia – standing in for Mandy Wiener – unpacks the major stories making headlines. President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to embark on a working visit to the United States next week. In a surprising development, US agencies have been barred from participating in the upcoming G20 activities hosted in South Africa. Meanwhile, Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi will hold a media briefing on efforts to mitigate the impact of funding cuts by the US government. And a 38-year-old foreign national has been arrested after authorities discovered more than R1 million in local and foreign currency in his possession. All this and more.

A leaked document revealing appointments to Sector Education and Training Authority, SETA boards has raised concerns over the potential politicisation of these key institutions. The Democratic Alliance has written to the Higher Education and Training Portfolio Committee to object, citing the inclusion of prominent ANC-linked individuals, such as Minister Gwede Mantashe's son Buyambo and a former KZN Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube. Elvis Presslin spoke to Karabo Khakhau, DA National Spokesperson
In this episode of the Daily Friend Wrap, Hermann Pretorius and Marius Roodt take a look at the upcoming meeting between Donald Trump and Cyril Ramaphosa. What would be a good outcome? What wouldn't? And what should we make of the issues that become so hot that reasonable debate can't touch them? Also of importance today are the mutterings that a new GNU budget might be starting to materialise with cautious positivity coming from negotiations between the DA and the ANC.

Die eerste groep Afrikaner-vlugtelinge het na die VSA vertrek onder 'n omstrede Trump-era program wat opspraak verwek. Gardenroute juweel Knysna, se dienslewering het begin verbrokkel onder ANC-koalisiebewind. Adjunkpresident Mashatile se lyfwagte is vrygespreek ná die gewelddadige aanval op ongewapende SA burgerlikes. Internasionaal het China en die VSA ooreengekom om tariewe te verlaag, terwyl Rusland 'n nuwe hommeltuigaanval op Oekraïne loods, te midde van verskille oor vredesonderhandelinge.
The accelerating drift of Joburg, whose implosion from a “world class African city” to widespread dysfunction is overseen by an ANC-led coalition, is well documented. After hitting roadblocks, the Democratic Alliance's approach of demanding dissolution of the council to trigger a re-run of the 2021 election was this week replaced by one with greater odds of success. DA Caucus leader Belinda Kayser-Echeozonjoku explains the new strategy to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.
One of the brightest stars in South Africa's political firmament, 38-year-old Geordin Hill-Lewis opens up here on how his current responsibility - the City of Cape Town - is surprising everyone on the upside. The executive mayor celebrated a huge win this week after getting ratings agencies to differentiate between his city and its South African peers: something the former shadow Minister of Finance has pursued for years because of the massive impact lower borrowing costs bring. In this interview with BizNews editor Alec Hogg he also addresses Frans Cronje's warning about embracing possible political Trojan Horses (CT's ANC and EFF leaders recently crossed to the DA); and shares why he'd do whatever necessary to earn Cape Town a ‘free pass' from Washington.
“Robust” talks have been held between top Afrikaner leaders - including Kallie Kriel, Flip Buys and Dirk Hermann, and African National Congress (ANC) NEC members. In this interview with BizNews, Dr. Theuns Eloff of the Afrikaner Leadership Network describes how the meeting was set up and facilitated the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC). Although there is an agreement between the parties not to comment on the contents of the discussions until there is concrete progress to report, Dr Eloff described the talks thus: “…it was difficult, and it is clear that there are misunderstandings, misperceptions on both sides. And we basically said, despite that, we may not like each other, but...we owe the country this to go forward and look for solutions.” He says the fact that “the Trump Sword is hanging over the country and also over the ANC …brings a bit of urgency…” Meanwhile, today and tomorrow, the three parties will nominate four people each to serve on a smaller task team to iron out some of the issues in the process - and report back in two weeks. “Obviously, we as the African Leadership Network also do it for the Afrikaner community and other minorities, but we also do it for the country because if we don't get this thing with the Americans right, as a country we're in trouble.”
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.

In the latest edition of the Sunday Show with Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), he speaks about the role of money in the race for the next president of the African National Congress (ANC) just as billionaire Patrice Motsepe emerges as another likely contender. De Beer looks at the continuing “onslaught” from former President Jacob Zuma, whose MKP has taken another ward off the ANC. He points out the big differences in the strategies of MKP and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) to the issue of Afrikaner self-determination. Following the latest EFF march on an Afrikaner community, he also warns: “I fear one morning, that when they go to the gates of such a place, they're to meet with arms. The police are going to be in the middle and people are going to get very cross…If one person in that group shoots, we will have a Marikana.” De Beer slams President Cyril Ramaphosa's move to appoint a Commission of Inquiry to establish why Apartheid-era crimes - testified to at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) - have not been prosecuted, saying: “We are still sitting with Zondo. So, we can go dig up old cows, but we can't lock up the present.” He also examines the suspicious circumstances surrounding the deaths of four members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) whose bodies ended up in the Hennops River. And he hails Mr Justice Nathan Erasmus who handed down a guilty verdict last week in the case of the missing Joshlin Smith. “Make this man the Judge President…What a jurist.”
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.

A court this week argued, that the former Credit Suisse boss forfeited his Ivorian nationality when he acquired French citizenship in 1987.

Die ANC het die onttrekking van die voorgestelde BTW-verhoging en die hersiening van die 2025 fiskale raamwerk verwelkom, en dit 'n politieke oorwinning, gebaseer op demokratiese konsultasie, genoem.

Former DA leader Tony Leon, in his new book, Being There, says DA Federal Executive chair and former party leader Helen Zille may have many positive qualities but that “I doubt the party brand is enhanced by her continued presence at the top of the organisation”. Peter Bruce asks him in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge whether he still believes that and whether he thinks the DA is right to fight to stay in the Government of National Unity despite being the principle cause of failure of the National Treasury's two attempts to increase the rate of VAT. How does it fight coming local and national elections as part of a government run by the ANC?

Die DA sê die ANC het Suid-Afrika se vryheid vernietig en gesteel en is uit voeling met Suid-Afrikaners.

Ivan Meyer van die DA sê die vreedsame oorgang van apartheid na demokrasie word nog wêreldwyd bewonder, maar nie alle Suid-Afrikaners geniet dieselfde vryheid of geleenthede nie:

John Maytham speaks with Ferial Haffejee, Associate Editor at Daily Maverick, about her incisive analysis of South Africa’s fragile Government of National Unity (GNU).
