Podcast appearances and mentions of Cyril Ramaphosa

Die regering sê 'n deurbraakondersoek deur die Spesiale Ondersoekeenheid na korrupsie by die Departement van Binnelandse Sake toon dat president Cyril Ramaphosa se anti-korrupsieprioriteite aktief geïmplementeer word. Die ondersoek het bedrog in die uitreiking van amptelike dokumente aan onwettige immigrante, wat openbare vertroue en nasionale veiligheid ondermyn, aan die lig gebring. Die adjunkregeringswoordvoerder, William Baloyi, sê die vernietiging van korrupsie is kernbelangrik vir die verbetering van dienslewering en die versterking van staatsinstellings:

Die Vereniging van Staatsamptenare doen 'n beroep op president Cyril Ramaphosa en die Nasionale Tesourie om dringend aandag te skenk aan die belofte om bykomende hulpbronne aan die weermag toe te ken. Die vereniging sê die weermag ondervind stygende operasionele uitgawes, 'n veranderende veiligheidsomgewing en hulpbronbeperkings. Claude Naicker van die vereniging sê hulle wys al jare op die gevolge wat besnoeiings aan die begroting op militêre personeel, infrastruktuur, toerusting en operasionele gereedheid kan hê:

President Cyril Ramaphosa verwelkom die terugkeer van sekere Suid-Afrikaanse mans wat na die Russies-Oekraïense konflik gelok is. Die regering, in samewerking met Russiese owerhede, het ná noodoproepe hul veilige terugkeer verseker. Vier mans het by die huis aangekom en elf word binnekort verwag, terwyl twee steeds in Rusland is, insluitend een in 'n Moskouse hospitaal. Woordvoerder Vincent Magwenya sê Ramaphosa verwelkom voortgesette ondersoeke na die mans se beweerde werwing:

In this interview with BizNews, energy expert Thomas Garner looks at the reasons behind the warning in ESKOM's Medium Term Adequacy Report that loadshedding could return in 2029. He describes the various challenges ESKOM would have to overcome to prevent that, and shares what is possible to achieve in new grid capacity with different technologies: coal, nuclear, gas, solar and wind. He stresses that the challenges are “systemic and it comes a long way” and is also as a result of “the monopolistic nature of the animal ESKOM”. Commenting on President Cyril Ramaphosa's SONA statement that the National Transmission Company will be independent being contrary to what ESKOM and the Minister of Electricity had wanted, he says: “There's different factions within ESKOM. There's the faction that wants to see privatisation, a market, and full unbundling and then there's a faction that doesn't want to see it and wants to see the monopoly stay intact as it has been for the last hundred years. So it depends who's the management and it depends who's allowed to have the loudest voice.”

Die DA sê president Cyril Ramaphosa moet dringend bepaal of die huidige samestelling en leierskap van die komitee vir die beheer van konvensionele wapens bevoeg is om hul statutêre en grondwetlike verpligtinge na te kom. Volgens die party volg hulle versoek na voortslepende bestuursmislukkings. Die komitee het in 2025 slegs sewe keer vergader. Chris Hattingh van die DA sê ʼn statutêre komitee wat vertrou word met die regulering van ʼn uitvoersektor wat ʼn multimiljard-rand beloop, kan nie vir ʼn kwart van die jaar net verdwyn nie:

Die burgerregte-organisasie AfriForum verwelkom president Cyril Ramaphosa se besluit om op hierdie stadium nie enige artikels van die Wet op Nasionale Gesondheidsversekering te bekragtig nie. Dit is tot uitspraak gelewer word in openbaredeelname-sake teen die wet. Louis Boshoff van AfriForum sê dit wys Ramaphosa dink twee keer oor die NGV se instelling:

In the latest NdB Sunday Show, Chris Steyn gets comment from US Intelligence Analyst retired Colonel Chris Wyatt on the litany of international companies exiting South Africa or scaling down their operations; the collapse of Tongaat Hullet; the agenda of the new US ambassador Brent Bozell III; President Cyril Ramaphosa's response to the SONA debate; President Donald Trump's 10% response to SCOTUS striking down his reciprocal tariffs; the United States being ready strike Iran at “a moment's notice”; the meeting of Trump's Peace Board; and powerful people across the world being toppled because of their links to Epstein, the latest casualty being former Prince Andrew of the UK.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Suikerrietkwekersvereniging doen 'n beroep op president Cyril Ramaphosa om dringend in te gryp om die suikerbedryf te red. Die organisasie waarsku Tongaat Hulett se moontlike likwidasie bedreig 18 000 produsente, 40 000 werksgeleenthede en landelike ekonomieë in KwaZulu-Natal en Mpumalanga. Die voorsitter van die vereniging, Higgins Mdluli, vra die regering om meulens aan die gang te hou, suikerinvoerpryse te hersien, suikerbelasting te skrap en plaaslike produksie te ondersteun ten einde werksgeleenthede te beskerm en ekonomiese bestendigheid te verseker:

Gugs Mhlungu speaks with Professor Vally Padayachee, Power and Energy expert and a former executive manager of Eskom and a former senior executive of City Power JHB, about the future of load shedding following President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement on energy reforms at the SONA, and what the planned transfer of the country’s electricity transmission assets out of Eskom could mean for South Africa’s energy landscape.

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die regering hersien die raamwerk vir breedgebaseerde swart ekonomiese bemagtiging om dit meer doeltreffend te maak vir die bevordering van inklusiewe groei. Die doel is om meer geleenthede vir swartnywerhede en -vrouebestuurders te skep, ongelykheid te verminder en te verseker dat meer Suid-Afrikaners voordeel trek uit ekonomiese groei. Ramaphosa het tydens die debat oor die staatsrede gesê die hersiening sal help om ekonomiese insluiting te versterk en volhoubare groei te ondersteun:

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Marrianne Merten, Associate Editor at Daily Maverick, about the tough questions emerging from President Cyril Ramaphosa’s 2026 State of the Nation Address. In a sharply argued opinion piece, Merten questions whether the President’s strong rhetoric on crime and the deployment of the South African National Defence Force reflect genuine urgency and political will or whether government is falling into a familiar pattern of bold announcements without meaningful accountability. They unpack opposition criticism, public frustration, and whether the state’s response matches the scale of South Africa’s crime crisis. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In today's edition, Alec Hogg explores a significant demographic milestone: new data reveals that African and white households are now level-pegging in South Africa's upper-middle-class income bracket. We delve into the implications of this shift, the migration of taxpayers from Johannesburg to Cape Town, and a critical look at Cyril Ramaphosa's presidency—a leadership defined by well-intentioned instructions that are rarely implemented in what has become a "Republic of no consequences".

John Maytham is joined by Dean Wingrin, Defence Web analyst, who has closely followed the state of South Africa’s military capability and defence policy, to discuss whether President Cyril Ramaphosa’s deployment of SANDF to tackle gang violence is a temporary fix and why it is deeply flawed.

Skeptisisme volg op Suid-Afrika se jongste Staatsrede. Beleggingsekonoom Dawie Klopper het aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesê hy was weereens nie beïndruk met president Cyril Ramaphosa se toespraak nie en het dit beskryf as 'n herhaling van ou retoriek. Klopper sê baie van die toespraak het gefokus op dekades van regeringsmislukkings in basiese dienslewering. Terwyl hy toegee dat die erkenning van die probleme nodig is, voer hy aan dat die voorgestelde oplossings te veel staatmaak op die skep van nuwe komitees, in plaas daarvan om die departemente wat reeds verantwoordelik is vir dienslewering, reg te stel.

Die Forum for South Africa sê dis noodsaaklik dat polisiebeamptes gekeur word, maar dis nie genoeg nie. President Cyril Ramaphosa het Donderdag in sy staatsrede gesê die Staatsveiligheidsagentskap sal weer die polisie se senior bestuur en metropolisiedepartemente keur en dit sal leefstyloudits insluit. FOSA-leier Tebogo Masholompane sê hierdie stap volg na onthullings in die Madlanga-kommissie en die parlementêre ad hoc-komitee:

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die keuses wat in die komende maande gemaak word, sal bepaal of Suid-Soedan na blywende vrede beweeg of terugkeer na onbestendigheid. Hy het gister die Afrika-unie se Ad hoc-hoëvlakkomitee vir die Suid-Soedan C5 Plus-beraad in Addis Abeba, Ethiopië, toegespreek. Suid-Soedan, die wêreld se jongste nasie, gaan in Desember stembus toe. Ramaphosa sê die Afrika-Unie is verenig in sy optrede om die land na 'n pad van vrede en bestendigheid te beweeg:

Bongani Bingwa speaks to deputy Minister of defence and Military Veterans, Bantu Holomisa about President Cyril Ramaphosa’s assertion during the State of the Nation Address that organised crime is the most immediate threat to South Africa’s democracy, society and economic development. They unpack the decision to deploy the SANDF to combat gang violence in the Western Cape and illegal mining in Gauteng, questioning whether military intervention is an effective crime-fighting tool or a dangerous blurring of lines between policing and defence, and reflecting on the legacy of Collins Khosa and the risks of potential human rights abuses. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Following talks between President Cyril Ramaphosa and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the South African men sold into combat in Russia are being processed for their return. In his latest interview with BizNews, the real founder of MKP, Jabulani Khumalo - who has been supporting the families - calls for the arrest of those among the “hijackers” of his party for their alleged involvement in the trafficking “…we are saying to the government of South Africa they must punish these people because they are known who they are. There are five that went to court, but it's not all of them….I don't know why they are still not behind bars…And they are still continuing to make a lot of problems within the communities because they are thugs.” Slamming former President Jacob Zuma, Khumalo says: “Jacob Zuma is allowing all these shenanigans because remember, the government has allowed him for very long to fool the government to abuse our money in going to courts just for him to stay away from jail. And because of that, thinks he's above the law…”

South Africans heard this year's State of the Nation Address (SONA) amid deepening water shortages, a stagnating economy, and rising political tension. Seeking to calm frustration and uncertainty, President Cyril Ramaphosa struck an optimistic tone. AfricaLink host Adwoa Domena speaks to political analyst Ntsikelelo Breakfast and DW's Thuso Khumalo to unpack whether the president succeeded.

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê Suid-Afrika is diep bekommerd oor toenemende konflik en onbestendigheid op die vasteland. Ramaphosa het Afrika-leiers by die Afrika-Unie toegespreek en sy verbintenis tot Agenda 2063 herbevestig. Hy bepleit dringende politieke betrokkenheid wat weens ongrondwetlike regeringsveranderings in sekere lande verbied is. Ramaphosa versoek wapenstilstande en inklusiewe dialoog in Soedan en Suid-Soedan en veroordeel M23-rebelle se voortgesette grensbedreigings in die oostelike Demokratiese Republiek die Kongo:

In the latest NdB Sunday Show with Chris Steyn, US intelligence analyst, retired Colonel Chris Wyatt comments on the likelihood of US President Donald Trump imposing personal sanctions on some South African politicians in the face of continued provocation from the African National Congress (ANC); President Cyril Ramaphosa's SONA speech; his decision to send in the military to fight crime; the crime cartel infiltrated SAPS; the performance of Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen who has abandoned his bid for re-election as Democratic Alliance (DA) leader; as well as the bad treatment received by some of the 2,000 odd South African refugees that have gone to America.

Gauteng se premier, Panyaza Lesufi, verwelkom die ontplooiing van die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag om die polisie by te staan in hul stryd teen onwettige mynbedrywighede. President Cyril Ramaphosa het dit gisteraand tydens sy staatsrede aangekondig. Lesufi se woordvoerder, Elijah Mhlanga, sê die Weermag se teenwoordigheid is ʼn bepalende en noodsaaklike ingryping om die toenemende bedreiging van onwettige mynbedrywighede te bekamp:

President Cyril Ramaphosa het die uitbreking van bek-en-klouseer in die land as nasionale ramp verklaar en sê die grootvee-bedryf beleef een van die ergste uitbrekings ooit. Hy het Donderdagaand in sy staatsrede gesê die siekte benadeel die ekonomie, en lei tot ʼn verbod op uitvoere, tot handelsbeperkings en die verwoesting van kuddes. Hy sê die regering sal saam met die privaatsektor werk om doeltreffende inenting te verseker:

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag sal ontplooi word om die polisie by te staan in die stryd teen bendegeweld en onwettige mynbedrywighede in die Wes-Kaap en Gauteng. Hy het Donderdagaand in Kaapstad sy staatsrede gelewer. Ramaphosa sê hy sal die nasionale vergadering en nasionale raad van provinsies inlig oor die tyd en plek waar soldate ontplooi sal word en wat dit gaan kos:

Die minister van Samewerkende Regering en Tradisionele Sake, Velenkosini Hlabisa, sê munisipaliteite sal nie hul gesag oor watersake verloor nie, ondanks die stigting van 'n nasionale waterkrisiskomitee onder voorsitterskap van president Cyril Ramaphosa. Hlabisa beskryf die watersituasie as 'n nasionale krisis wat dringende ingryping vereis. Hy sê die komitee sal sukkelende metro's met vaardighede en hulpbronne ondersteun. Hy sê ook 55-miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand is toegeken aan infrastruktuur, instandhouding en noodreaksie-pogings:

KPMG Suid-Afrika se hoofekonoom, Frank Blackmore, sê president Cyril Ramaphosa se staatsrede verdien om positief evalueer te word aangesien hy op drie hoof-fokusgebiede gekonsentreer het. Dit is misdaad, insluitend korrupsie, sindikate, bendegeweld en onwettige mynbou, die voortdurende waterkrisis en plaaslike regeringshervorming. Blackmore sê die kritiek is op ongeveer 90-persent van die toespraak wat gefokus het op dekades van basiese diensleweringsmislukkings:

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê hy gaan 'n Nasionale Waterkrisiskomitee stig, en as voorsiter optree, om die land se wateruitdagings aan te pak. Dele van Gauteng ervaar watertekorte, wat tot 'n aantal betogings gelei het. Die regering het 156 miljard rand in openbare befondsing oor die volgende drie jaar bewillig vir water, sanitasie en infrastruktuur. Ramaphosa het in sy staatsrede gisteraand aangekondig dat die regering in die finale fase is van die stigting van 'n nasionale agentskap vir waterhulpbroninfrastruktuur:

President Cyril Ramaphosa se verklaring van bek-en-klouseer as nasionale ramp tydens sy staatsrede Donderdagaand is goeie nuus vir Namibië, want dit beteken Suid-Afrika gaan die siekte nou met mag en mening beveg, sê plaaslike landboukenner Wallie Roux. Maar dit beteken geensins Namibië kan laat slaplê nie, het Roux in ‘n onderhoud met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesê.

In this episode, Trevor Garvin, Head of Multi-Manager at Nedgroup Investments, breaks down President Cyril Ramaphosa's 2026 State of the Nation Address. He highlights the key themes shaping South Africa's political and economic landscape, including the country's cautiously improving economy, the Government of National Unity's three strategic priorities, the urgent crackdown on organised crime, the newly declared national water crisis, and the push for stronger local government and infrastructure reform. A clear takeaway: while stability is returning in some areas, most notably energy, the year ahead will be defined by delivery, accountability, and visible progress on the ground. LinkedIn · YouTube

Die families van die 17 mans van Suid-Afrika wat in die oorlog tussen Rusland en Oekraïne vasgekeer is, sê hulle is gefrustreerd met die trae vordering om te verseker dat die groep veilig terugkeer. Die mans is in Julie na Rusland gelok onder die indruk dat hulle as lyfwagte opgelei sal word. President Cyril Ramaphosa en die Russiese president, Vladimir Putin, het onderneem om die proses te ondersteun om die mans na Suid-Afrika te laat terugkeer. Phumla Zuma, wie se twee seuns deel is van die groep, sê die mans is onskuldig: Phumla Zuma Woensdag

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê Suid-Afrika ondersteun steeds 'n diplomatieke oplossing vir die konflik tussen Rusland en Oekraïne. In 'n telefoniese gesprek met die Russiese president Vladimir Putin het Ramaphosa herhaal dat alle oorloë deur onderhandelinge moet eindig. Die woordvoerder in die Presidensie, Vincent Magwenya sê die twee leiers het ook handel, beleggings en samewerking in internasionale forums soos Brics en die G20 bespreek:

Build One South Africa waarsku Suid-Afrika word 'n gemeenskap sonder gevolge, met misdaadnetwerke wat in sleutelstaatsinstellings gevestig is. Die party sê toenemende misdaad, insluitend byna 80 moorde en meer as 130 verkragtings per dag, bedreig beide veiligheid en ekonomiese groei. Die leier van BOSA, Mmusi Maimane doen 'n beroep op president Cyril Ramaphosa om Donderdag se staatsrede te gebruik om dit duidelik te maak dat niemand, ongeag hul politieke posisie, bo die wet verhewe is nie:

① A senior CPC official has stressed supporting patriotic pro-reunification forces in Taiwan and striking hard against separatists. Why is the Chinese mainland justified to do so? (00:55) ② We analyze China's provincial GDPs for 2025 and explore why “how fast” the economy grows becomes less important than “how well” it grows. (13:37) ③ South Africa's Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed support for Russia's efforts to end the Ukraine war in a call with Vladimir Putin. How are the two sides developing their ties amid global uncertainties? (25:02) ④ Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse are renewing their calls for the full release of files tied to Epstein's sex-trafficking network. What have led to their deep sense of frustration? (35:21) ⑤ Donald Trump has threatened to block the opening of a new US-Canada bridge, demanding that Canada turn over at least half of the project's ownership and agree to other US demands over cross-border trade issues. Does the threat make sense? (44:20)

Die Raad van Gesondheidsorgbefondsers vra president Cyril Ramaphosa om Donderdag kragtige en bekostigbare gesondheidshervormings aan te kondig in sy staatsrede. Katlego Mothudi van die raad sê praktiese ingrypings word benodig wat onmiddellik gesondheidsorgkoste kan verminder en toegang tot gehaltediens kan verbeter. Hy sê daar is lewensvatbare oplossings wat die regering nou kan instel om die druk te verlig, veral terwyl die Wet op Nasionale Gesondheidsversekering steeds in howe uitgedaag word
