Die regering sê hy het noodoproepe ontvang om 17 Suid-Afrikaanse mans te help om terug te keer huis toe nadat hulle in die oorloggeteisterde Donbas-streek in Oekraïne vasgekeer is. Die mans, tussen 20 en 39 jaar, is met lonende kontrakte gelok om by huursoldaatmagte in die Oekraïne/Rusland-konflik aan te sluit. Sestien van die mans is van KwaZulu-Natal en een van die Oos-Kaap. President Cyril Ramaphosa se woordvoerder, Vincent Magwenya, sê die regering veroordeel die uitbuiting van jong, kwesbare mense:

Die Nobelpryswenner en ekonoom Joseph Stiglitz sê globale ongelykheid is 'n ernstige probleem wat gesondheid, onderwys en die ekonomie raak. Hy en die uitvoerende direkteur van UNAids, Winnie Byanyima, het 'n verslag oor ongelykheid aan president Cyril Ramaphosa by die Uniegebou in Pretoria oorhandig. Stiglitz stel 'n internasionale paneel oor ongelykheid voor om regerings te lei oor billiker beleide. Hy het die G20 aangespoor om op te tree, aangesien ongelykheid 'n keuse is wat met kennis en samewerking aangespreek kan word:

Die voormalige presidentsvrou en medevoorsitter van die Globale Raad vir Ongelykheid, Vigs, en Pandemies, Monica Geingos, het Dinsdag die raad se verslag aan Suid-Afrikaanse president Cyril Ramaphosa oorhandig. Die titel is “Verbreking van die ongelykheid-pandemie-siklus: Die bou van ware gesondheidsekuriteit in 'n globale era”. Die oorhandiging is in Suid-Afrika gedoen aangesien die land die presidentskap van die G20 beklee, wat hom posisioneer om wêreldwye gesprekke te lei oor die aanspreek van ongelykheid en die versterking van pandemiese paraatheid. Geingos het gesê dat ongelykheid aangespreek kan word as daar politieke wil is. Ramaphosa het haar tydens die geleentheid bedank:

Die leiers van die regering van nasionale eenheid het belowe om vinniger op te tree met munisipale toesig, jeugvaardighede en -indiensneming, voedselsekerheid en die stryd teen bendegeweld. Leiers van die tien partye het vergader vir 'n tweedaagse wegbreeksessie by die Wieg van die Mensdom in Mogale City, Gauteng. President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die RNE bly verenig en gefokus om werkloosheid, armoede, misdaad, korrupsie en diensleweringsuitdagings aan te pak:

Die ANC sê hy is verstom oor berigte dat president Cyril Ramaphosa wil bedank. Berigte doen die afgelope maande die rondte dat hy die einde van die maand ná die G20-beraad in Johannesburg gaan uittree. Daar word bespiegel dat die minister van Minerale en Petroleum Hulpbronne, Gwede Mantashe, as president sal waarneem. Die ANC-woordvoerder, Mahlengi Bhengu, het aan Newzroom Afrika gesê Ramaphosa dien die land goed:

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die RNE is verenig en sterk - Ons praat met RNE-vennote wat die tweedaagse vergadering bygewoon het. Die stof het nog nie gaan lê oor die Nie-in-my-naam-veldtog nie - ons voer 'n debat met twee opponerende partye. Ons bespreek die Proteas se eerste eendagstryd vanmiddag teen Pakistan.

The Government of National Unity, GNU has concluded a two-day retreat in Gauteng, where leaders from 10 parties reaffirmed their commitment to the coalition. The GNU members led by President Cyril Ramaphosa held a private meeting at the Cradle Boutique Hotel in Krugersdorp. The leaders used the gathering to address internal differences and recommit to the coalition's objectives. Elvis Presslin spoke to Freedom Front Plus leader, Dr. Corné Mulder

The one-time investment advisor to President Cyril Ramaphosa and outgoing chair of JSE-listed Delta Property Fund talks about her time leading Delta's board in a challenging period to turn around the group, and weighs in on SA's grey list exit, saying: ‘now is not the time to be complacent… corruption needs to be dealt with'.

It is often argued that the super-rich should not be taxed at higher rates as it disincentivises growth and success, but a group of wealthy Americans known as Patriotic Millionaires believes otherwise. They argue that wealthy Americans have rigged the system to advantage themselves while leaving ordinary citizens paying higher rates than billionaires. Lester Kiewit speaks to Morris Pearl, the chairman of Patriotic Millionaires. Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit is a podcast of the CapeTalk breakfast show.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has convened a closed-door meeting with leaders of the Government of National Unity (GNU) in Krugersdorp, West of Johannesburg. The talks aim to resolve recent disagreements and accusations within the coalition. The GNU Clearing House, led by Deputy President Paul Mashatile, was established earlier this year to iron out policy differences among the 10 parties. Elvis Presslin spoke to DA MP and national spokesperson, Karabo Khakhau

In the latest edition of the NdB Sunday Show, Political and Policy Analyst Professor Theo Venter tells Chris Steyn why former Police Minister Senzo Mchunu's position is “fatal”; where things went “very wrong” for suspended Deputy National Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya accused of massive corruption by tenderpreneur “Cat Matlala”; why KZN National Commissioner General Nlhanhla Mkhwanazi continues to impress; why President Cyril Ramaphosa - accused of blocking further investigations into health tenders linked to Thembisa Hospital looting kingpin Hangwani Maumela (his nephew by previous marriage) - is a good diplomat, but a bad politician; how State Capture is still continuing; why former President Thabo Mbeki maintains that there are still Apartheid spies high up in African National Congress (ANC) leadership; and why it has taken almost 60 years for a court to find that former Nobel Prize laureate, Chief Albert Luthuli, was not killed by a freight train but was beaten to death by the Security Branch. “…what needs to happen in the police is we need to get some guys that we can trust and that is absolutely what you see, is what you get - and I think Mkhwanazi is definitely one of them,” Professor Venter says.

The United Democratic Movement, UDM has slammed President Cyril Ramaphosa's celebration of South Africa's removal from the Financial Action Task Force greylist saying it's "tone deaf" and ignores the struggles of ordinary citizens. The party's statement comes after the latest Afrobarometer findings showed nearly half of South Africans would not oppose military rule and seven in ten are frustrated with democracy. The UDM is calling on the government to focus on delivering visible change in people's lives, rather than just celebrating technical milestones. For more on this we are joined on the line by MP, UDM Deputy President and Leader in Parliament, Nqabayomzi Kwankwa

Die UDM sê president Cyril Ramaphosa se viering van Suid-Afrika se verwydering van die Finansiële Aksietaakmag se gryslys ignoreer die werklikheid. Die adjunkpresident van die UDM, Nqabayomzi Kwankwa, sê terwyl die president tegniese voldoening en beleggersvertroue prys, staar miljoene Suid-Afrikaners honger, werkloosheid en vrees in die gesig. Hy sê tegniese mylpale moet deur sigbare verandering in mense se lewens geëwenaar word:

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die 30-persent tariewe wat Amerika op Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoere gehef het, het die land genoop om sy handelsomvang te diversifiseer. Die president is op ʼn tweedaagse staatsbesoek aan Switserland. Die land is een van Suid-Afrika se belangrikste Europese handelsvennote met ʼn handelsvolume van 18,2 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand in 2024. Ramaphosa sê die regering hoop om binnekort ʼn handelsooreenkoms met Amerika te sluit:

Another week of startling allegations of police and political capture by crime bosses have South Africans glued to their screen. Chris Steyn speaks to Juanita Du Preez of Action Society about testimony by Witness C who told the Madlanga Commission that tenderpreneur “Cat” Matlala told him that he had given suspended Deputy National Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya millions in cash and that he secretly paid R500,000 towards former Police Minister Senzo Mchunu's presidential campaign. They also talk about the former Police Minister's alleged “friendship” link to “TK” Molefe, who is controversially on bail - despite being linked to at least 18 murders; the former Minister's move to disband the very unit involved in his arrest; the failure to arrest Tembisa Hospital looting kingpin Hungwani Maumela, the nephew by previous marriage of President Cyril Ramaphosa; Brian Mogotsi, the African National Congress “fixer” all the way back to the CR17 campaign seemingly on the run after being disavowed by the party; as well as Economic Freedom Fighters Commander-in-Chief Julius Malema once again being suspiciously absent from the questioning of an allegedly friend at the Ad Hoc Committee.

Kommunikationsplattformen wie Facebook, X, Tiktok und Google sollen Nutzerinnen und Nutzern künftig ein Verfahren anbieten müssen, mit dem sie mutmasslich rechtswidrige Inhalte unkompliziert melden können.

Und eine weitsichtige Planung, um eine solche Katastrophen künftig zu verhindern, fehlt.

Hij was vakbondsleider, onderhandelaar in het einde van de apartheid, miljonair en uiteindelijk president van Zuid-Afrika. Cyril Ramaphosa belichaamt het moderne Zuid-Afrika — vol hoop, strijd en tegenstrijdigheden.Zijn missie was duidelijk: het herstellen van vertrouwen en het zuiveren van een door corruptie geteisterd ANC. Maar tussen idealen en macht ligt een dunne lijn. Zijn rol in het Marikana-bloedbad, zijn stille leiderschap en zijn trage hervormingen roepen één vraag op: is Ramaphosa de redder van Zuid-Afrika, of juist het symbool van zijn stilstand?Samen met correspondent Ruud Elmendorp, die al jaren vanuit Afrika verslag doet, onderzoeken we het verhaal achter de man – zijn successen, zijn schaduwzijden en wat zijn leiderschap ons vertelt over het land dat hij probeert te hervormen.Volg onze LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/africastpodcast?originalSubdomain=nlVoor mooie beelden, quizjes en 'behind the scenes', volg onze Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/africast_podcast/Link met Jos of Joeri via LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jos-hummelen/ & https://www.linkedin.com/in/joerinortier/

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê konflik en oorloë, handelsgeskille, die energieoorgang en die pas van die digitale rewolusie hervorm die internasionale orde. Hy het vandag ʼn openbare lesing by die Universiteit van Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Maleisië gelewer, waar hy 'n eredoktorsgraad gekry het vir internasionale betrekkinge in die globale suide. Ramaphosa sê die Israel-Hamas-skietstilstand word verwelkom, maar volgens hom bestaan kommer oor voortgesette aanvalle op Gaza en die Wesoewer. Hy sê die internasionale gemeenskap moet toesien dat die vredesooreenkoms ʼn pad vorentoe bied vir ʼn Palestynse staat en selfbeskikking:

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die regering van nasionale eenheid werk aan sy verbintenis tot ekonomiese groei deur lande soos Maleisië aan te moedig om in Suid-Afrika te belê. Ramaphosa, wat op 'n werksbesoek van drie lande in Asië is, het tydens die ASEAN-sake- en beleggingsberaad in Maleisië gepraat. Die president sê Suid-Afrika is steeds die poort na Afrika:

Israel's Knesset passes a West Bank annexation bill in a preliminary vote, South Africa's Cyril Ramaphosa kicks off a Southeast Asia tour in Indonesia, an appeals court in Colombia overturns former president Uribe's conviction, President Trump says he didn't want a “wasted meeting” after talks with Vladimir Putin are “on hold", six are arrested in Dublin after an anti-immigration protest, Canada's upcoming budget could potentially trigger an election,               a federal raid in New York's Chinatown sparks protests, Donald Trump is seeking $230 million from the Justice Dept. over federal investigations, tech CEOs are ordered to testify in a youth social media harm trial, and an open letter   calls for a superintelligence development ban.

Deputy President Paul Mashatile is a flawed individual who should probably not be president, journalist and author Pieter Du Toit tells Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge. Du Toit in his new book on Mashatile, The Dark Prince, lays out the complex web of personal and financial relationships that keep Cyril Ramaphosa's probable successor that are now “so intertwined that his life seems to be funded by individuals directly dependent government contracts”. “You remember that in 2009 (when corruption charges against Jacob Zuma were withdrawn there were large parts of the commentariat back then and in, in, in general, in the country saying, you know, ' Let's just give this guy a chance. He connects with people at grassroots level' ", says Du Toit. "And I think if we decide to say, let's just give Paul Mashatile a chance we'd make a grave mistake. He lacks a political compass. He is someone who who is open to influences outside of what can be considered proper. He's a deeply problematic character”. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Some experts say South Africa meets several global indicators of a mafia state. Organized crime has infiltrated government institutions, corruption is rampant and assassinations are on the rise. Even police are drawing parallels with Colombia or Ecuador. Cai Nebe talks to Prof. Andre Duvenhage and DW correspondent Dianne Hawker in Johannesburg.

In this edition of the NdB Sunday Show, Advocate Mark Oppenheimer of the Johannesburg Bar tells Chris Steyn “there may very well be an argument that the South African government itself has been either complicit or silent in the face of genocidal speech”. He was speaking after President Cyril Ramaphosa and former Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor made it clear that South Africa would press ahead with its ICJ genocide case against Israel - despite the Middle East Peace Pact. “…it would be interesting if the Israelis were to...take South Africa to court in a parallel piece of litigation." Oppenheimer commends the visit to Israel by two granddaughters of the late President Nelson Mandela, and their balanced view in contrast with their cousin Mandla who was detained and deported after the flotilla intercept. As for the Madlanga Commission, Oppenheimer fears that South African are suffering from “commission fatigue” - and warns: “…the ANC government might want to bear in mind that there's only so much you can do to the poor and the oppressed before they rise up against you and... slit your throats or do other terrible things to you as we've seen in other countries abroad.” Oppenheimer, who also specialises in municipal law, shares his thoughts on the Jo'burg Mayoral race - and shares his “unusual way of solving” the crisis in the City. He also gives the backstory to the case of Professor Adam Mendelsohn at UCT which stands to lose as much a billion rand in funding because of its anti-Israel stance.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to political journalist Pieter du Toit about the growing storm in South Africa’s intelligence community. President Cyril Ramaphosa has suspended Imtiaz Fazel, the Inspector-General of Intelligence — the very official tasked with keeping the country’s spy agencies in check. This dramatic move follows explosive revelations that Crime Intelligence bosses allegedly blew R227 million on luxury hotels, even as core policing budgets face cuts. For many, it’s an uncomfortable echo of the Richard Mdluli era — a time defined by slush funds, political cover-ups, and shadowy deals. So, is this a bold step towards restoring accountability within intelligence structures, or is it a calculated attempt to sideline someone who may have uncovered too much? Pieter du Toit joins us to unpack the deeper implications. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Some of the dirtiest secrets of South African politics and policing are being laid before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry and Parliament's Ad Hoc committee. In this interview, Action Society's Juanita du Preez tells Chris Steyn "It's almost sickening that people can have so much against another person that they can actually ruin a whole country because of those secrets...and we will only see how much ruin actually happened and is still going to happen after everything comes out, after the secrets come out - if all of them come out.” Du Preez comments on the safety fears for Witness X, the health fears for CI Chief General Dumisani Khumalo, suspended Deputy Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya's muted performance at the Ad Hoc Committee, the way President Cyril Ramaphosa's has framed his link by former marriage to Tembisa Hospital looting kingpin Hangwani Maumela, the WhatsApp messages between tender tycoon “Cat” Matlala and some very prominent people, as well as the erratic behaviour of former Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, now on special leave.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Mamoloko Kubayi, following mounting criticism over President Cyril Ramaphosa’s appointment of a panel tasked with selecting the next head of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA). With current NDPP Shamila Batohi set to step down in January, questions are being raised about the qualifications of those choosing her successor. Critics say the panel lacks sufficient legal experience, undermining confidence in the process.

Ukraine's first Military Ombudsman, Olha Reshetylova, has been hosted by South Africa - along with Military Ombuds from across the world. In this interview with BizNews, she speaks about President Cyril Ramaphosa's role as mediator - and says: “…this war won't end without South Africa. We need your participation. We need your understanding…” As for US President Donald Trump, she says: “his role is crucial, not only for Ukraine, [but] for the whole world”. In a message to NATO, she reversed the membership invitation by saying: “…it is not a joke, my invitation to the NATO countries to join Ukraine. This is absolutely what I mean. We can share our experience, we can prepare you for a new war…This is something that I'm not sure that different armed forces all over the world understand. This is about understanding the new way of war. This is something that Ukraine can provide to our partners, because nobody except Ukraine and Russia has experience now.”

Die ontslape Suid-Afrikaanse ambassadeur in Frankryk, Nathi Mthethwa, word as 'n sleutelfiguur in die betrekkinge tussen president Cyril Ramaphosa en Emmanuel Macron beskryf. Mthethwa is gister by sy familietuiste in KwaMbonambi aan die noordkus van Kwazulu-Natal begrawe. Die ANC oorweeg dit straks om voor die verkiesing hulle burgemeesterskandidate bekend te maak. Dosyne vragmotors met kos en ander voorrade vir Palestyne beweeg in Gasa in, terwyl die wereld wag op die vrylating van gyselaars.

On today's NdB Sunday Show, Chris Steyn speaks to the only police officer ever awarded the Silver Star for bravery twice. Colonel Tollie Vreugenburg, formerly of the Hawks, where he worked on Crimes Against the State and commanded Anti-Terrorism investigations, comes out strongly in support of generals Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and Fannie Mademola. “Both of them are persons of high integrity and what they say and what they said in the commission as well as in front of Parliament is not new to me. I've experienced it myself…especially the latter parts of my career. And I take my hat off for them to come forward and come to the open. They are the only two currently that have enough courage to do that.” The Colonel reveals how, in 2015, political interference prevented him from arresting President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan. He shares his personal experience of the “hostile takeover” of the DPCI by a crony of former President Jacob Zuma. Meanwhile, amid fears for the life of General Mkhwanazi,” he warns: “…well, the guy that wants to take him out, good luck to you. That is a…highly highly trained combatant…he is…very capable of protecting himself.” The Colonel also talks about the raids on the homes of suspended Deputy Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya and President Cyril Ramaphosa's nephew from a previous marriage. As for the African National Congress (ANC) trying to distance itself from Brian Mogotsi, one of the central characters in the saga, he says: “It's much too late. There will be a big footprint leading back for many years between the party as well as the individual.”

Enjoy this special feed drop of The Making of Musk: Understood, from our friends at CBC Podcasts. Where did Elon Musk's epic ambitions begin? In search of clues we return to his sheltered youth in apartheid South Africa, a world engineered for white supremacy.

Whistleblowing Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi continues dropping bombs, this time at Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee - following his explosive testimony before the Madlanga Commission. In this BizNews interview, Action Society's Juanita Du Preez tells Chris Steyn that the general comes across as “believable and credible” and is staying “cool and calm”. In contrast, former allies of President Cyril Ramaphosa are turning on another with SG Fikile Mbabula brutally dumping CR17 campaign organiser Brian Mogotsi who retaliated with allegations that caused the SG to threaten to sue him for defamation. More skeletons are also tumbling out of the closet of former Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa who died from a hotel room fall in Paris after being fingered by General Mkhwanazi. “…everybody is running around and covering their backs because...they might not know when what is going to come out…A lot of people are very nervous.” She also slams Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema - fresh from his criminal conviction for firearm offences - for delaying the committee hearing by hours.

President Cyril Ramaphosa betreur die dood van Suid-Afrika se ambassadeur in Frankryk, Nathi Mthethwa, wat in Parys op die ouderdom van 58 oorlede is. Ramaphosa het sy meegevoel betuig met sy vrou, Philisiwe Buthelezi, sy familie en kollegas. Hy het Mthethwa geloof vir sy diens in die kabinet as minister van Sport, Kuns en Kultuur, en Polisie. Die woordvoerder vir die Presidensie, Vincent Magwenya, sê die volk betreur 'n toegewyde dienaar wie se lewe tragies en te gou geeïndig het:

Die DA verwelkom die positiewe tekens van ʼn omvattende handelsooreenkoms tussen Suid-Afrika en Amerika, en dat die Wet op Groei en Geleenthede in Afrika dalk vir ʼn jaar verleng word. President Cyril Ramaphosa het verlede maand ʼn onderhandelingspan na Amerika gestuur om ʼn verlaging in die 30-persent tariewe op uitvoere na Amerika te probeer bewerkstellig. Toby Chance van die DA sê hulle ondersteun die regering van nasionale eenheid en die privaat sektor se pogings om betrekkinge met die land se grootste handelsvennoot te herstel:

Die motorvakbond MISA sê Suid-Afrika het te laat opgetree om nuwe handelsooreenkomste met Amerika te sluit voor die Wet op Groei en Geleenthede in Afrika gister verval het. Hulle waarsku dat hierdie mislukking werksverliese in die kleinhandelmotorbedryf sal vererger waar afleggings alreeds styg. Die woordvoerder van die vereniging, Sonja Carstens, sê pogings deur president Cyril Ramaphosa en die minister van Handel, Nywerheid en Mededinging, Parks Tau om die ooreenkoms te red, het misluk:

Die DA sê die Gautengse Gesondheidsdepartement moet dringende dissiplinêre stappe doen ná die Spesiale Ondersoekeenheid se tussentydse bevindings rondom korrupsie by die Tembisa-hospitaal. Die verslag het drie groot sindikate blootgelê wat meer as twee-miljard-rand geplunder het, insluitend kontrakte wat verbind word met president Cyril Ramaphosa se neef, Hangwani Morgan Maumela en Vusimusi “Cat” Matlala. Jack Bloom van die party waarsku die grootkoppe mag nie geregtigheid ontsnap nie:

Die Spesiale Ondersoekeenheid het 'n korrupsie-sindikaat by die Tembisa-hospitaal in Gauteng verbind met die sakeman Hangwani Maumela, wat 'n neef van president Cyril Ramaphosa is. Die hoof van die eenheid, Andy Mothiba, sê Maumela se netwerk het 816 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand deur 1 728 bestellings laat vloei wat verkrygingsreëls omseil het. Medewerkers, insluitende Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala, het ook gebaat. Mothiba bevestig die bedrieglike verdeling van tenders, met suksesvolle en onsuksesvolle maatskappye wat saamgesweer het deur saam te werk en mekaar te vergoed:

Clement Manyathela speaks to Orrin Singh, EWN Reporter and Karyn Maughan, Journalist at News24 who unpack the testimonies that have been given at the Madlanga commission so far.

Long before Trump retook the Oval Office, policymakers were concerned that South Africa's growing ties with Russia and China could undermine Washington's strategic interests in the region. Against the backdrop of these concerns, President Cyril Ramaphosa examines South Africa's domestic priorities, its bilateral trade relations with the United States, the future of BRICS, and the country's role in Southern Africa.   This conversation was hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations during the 80th United Nations General Assembly.    Background Reading:  This post unpacks the confrontational meeting between South African President Ramaphosa and U.S. President Trump in May 2025.   Host: Richard Stengel, Political Analyst at MSNBC; Former Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs at the U.S. Department of State   Guest: Cyril Ramaphosa, President of the Republic of South Africa   Want more comprehensive analysis of global news and events straight to your inbox?
