Podcast appearances and mentions of Cyril Ramaphosa

President Cyril Ramaphosa het wat hy beskryf as Israel se volksmoord teen Palestyne sterk veroordeel. Israel se premier Benjamin Netanyahu hou vol die land is nie verantwoordelik vir die humanitêre katastrofe in Gaza nie en beperk nie hulpverlening nie.

President Cyril Ramaphosa is “a prisoner of his own party secrets”. So says former double agent and Mandela spy, Brad Steyn, who was Neil de Beer's brother-in-arms. Steyn - who is now an independent security expert - gives the backstory to Ramaphosa's rise and reveals the role played by Police Minister Senzo Mchunu - now on special leave. Hailing the bravery of SAPS whistleblower General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, Steyn describes how other police generals were burnt when they spoke truth to power. He expresses concern that incoming Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia is “just another cadre deployment”. Commenting on deepening factions in the African National Congress (ANC) as top members jockey to be the party's next leader, Steyn labels Deputy President Paul Mashatile an “absolutle nightmare” - and says: “what we are witnessing isn't democracy, it's survival and contest for the corrupt elites… and every move is shadowed by dirty money, spy games, and fears of prosecution”. As for the raging diplomatic war between the US and SA, he says: “South Africa is punching way above their diplomatic weight and way below our ethical belt… we've weaponised transformation into a tender cartel and now the world's pulling back the curtain - and you can't blame them.” He fingers BRICS as a “big, big obstacle” and says it is “not a moral alliance”, but “an opportunistic economic bloc…built on double standards and dirty deals, back ends…bribes.”

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die Noord-Kaap se groenwaterstof-meesterplan is 'n toekomstige ekonomiese kragbron, wat die middelpunt is van Suid-Afrika se hernubare energie-oorgang en noodsaaklik vir die land se langtermyn-ekonomiese groei. Ramaphosa het gepraat op 'n vergadering met die provinsiale leierskap in Kimberley. Hy sê hy glo die plan sal nie net die plaaslike ekonomie 'n hupstoot gee nie, maar ook nasionale ontwikkeling steun en die breër Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap-streek versterk:

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”. 

President Cyril Ramaphosa recently attended the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Canada, at the invitation of Prime Minister Mark Carney. There, Ramaphosa formally endorsed the Kananaskis Wildfire Charter, an international agreement that recognises wildfire as a systemic, year-round climate threat that requires urgent global cooperation. Lester Kiewit speaks to Trevor Abrahams, Managing Director of Working on Fire, on how he believes South Africa can lead the way in managing wildfire risk in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Die MK-party sê die afdanking van die voormalige minister van Hoër Onderwys en Opleiding, Nobuhle Nkabane, was 'n strategiese skuif deur president Cyril Ramaphosa om die ondersteuning van die DA te kry voor vandag se stemming oor die Begrotingswetsontwerp. Die party voer aan Nkabane was net 'n offer, terwyl die dieper korrupsie binne die regering van nasionale eenheid onaangeraak bly. John Hlophe van MK sê die party verwerp die Begrotingswetsontwerp en hulle vra hul bondgenote om dieselfde te doen:

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:

President Cyril Ramaphosa has been slammed for the “unacceptable inconsistency” he shows in firing members of his Cabinet. In this interview with BizNews, Wayne Duvenage of OUTA says: “… you look at our President and you ask him: do you understand what you do to the trust in government?” Duvenage was commenting on the sacking of Higher Education Minister Nobuhle Nkabane over her handling of controversial politically-linked appointments to CETA boards. Duvenage points out that while the sacked minister is not corrupt, others accused of corruption like former Justice Minister Thembi Simelane - who was just moved to Human Settlements, is still in the Cabinet. Yet, The Democratic Alliance's Andrew Whitfield was sacked as Deputy Trade Minister for failing in his efforts to get permission from the President to travel abroad. “So we have a compromised president with his political party members who actually do not want to see a highly effective criminal justice system. They don't, it's not in their favour.” Meanwhile, Duvenage warns that the new Higher Education Minister, Buti Manamela, is taking over “probably the most corrupt network in government in this country”.

In today's BizNews Briefing, the Walter and Albertina Sisulu Foundation urges President Cyril Ramaphosa to step down over alleged inaction on corruption. Ramaphosa defends his record during the presidency budget vote, including his handling of Minister Senzo Mchunu. Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana confirms negotiations are underway to reverse looming 30% US tariffs. Plus, Netflix beats earnings forecasts, but investor jitters cause shares to dip.

As the crisis in the South African Police Ministry and the Police Service is deepening, Juanita Du Preez of Action Society tells BizNews “We don't know who to trust.” She gives her take on all the latest drama: Brian Mogotsi, the alleged associate of the Police Minister and well-known campaigner for the Cyril Ramaphosa presidency, claiming he is actually an undercover cop; Police Minister Senzo Mchunu - who is supposed to be on special leave - being on the African National Congress campaign trail and reminding black generals in the police that they were appointed by his party; the incoming Acting Police Minister, Firoz Cachalia, seemingly taking a swipe at whistleblower General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi by saying that giving the police license to kill is not the answer to dealing with crime; and rumours that the general himself was on the brink of arrest by IPID, and that the Political Killings Task Team wanted to arrest the Minister and the Deputy National Commissioner… “…there are disinformation campaigns running as we speak because people have to cover their backs…if the rot didn't start at the top, then there wouldn't have been a need for for all these rumours to to swirl around…having an inquiry…where everybody gets to cover their tracks and create new alliances is not the way to solve it.”

Veteran columnist William Saunderson-Meyer joins Alec Hogg to discuss South Africa's mounting political crisis, faltering leadership under Cyril Ramaphosa, and the crumbling promise of the GNU. With 32 years of insight from his "Jaundiced Eye" column, Saunderson-Meyer explores rising public discontent, institutional decay, and the urgent need for political change.

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:

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:

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê miljarde rande is verhaal in staatskapingsvervolgings, 'n aanduiding van vordering met die herstel van aanspreeklikheid en vertroue in regeringsinstellings. Ramaphosa het in sy reaksie op die begroting van die Presidensie die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag en die Spesiale Ondersoekeenheid se pogings geprys om korrupte individue te vervolg en gesteelde openbare fondse terug te eis. Hy sê geld wat verhaal is sal gebruik word om dienslewering te ondersteun en instellings te herbou wat deur korrupsie geraak is:

Die leier van Build One South Africa, Mmusi Maimane, het president Cyril Ramaphosa gekritiseer omdat hy nie die land se moordkrisis aanpak nie. Maimane het in die parlement die meer as 26 000 moorde verlede jaar vergelyk met 'n oorlogsone. Hy vra Ramaphosa om beslissende stappe te doen. Maimane beklemtoon onmiddellike optrede word benodig, veral ná die KwaZulu-Natalse polisiekommissaris, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, se bewerings teen die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu:

Die Vereniging van Staatsamptenare sê die komende tariewe van 30-persent op Suid-Afrikaanse produkte wat na Amerika uitgevoer word, hou ʼn duidelike en onmiddellike gevaar in vir belangrike sektore soos voertuigvervaardiging en landbou. President Cyril Ramaphosa het bevestig diplomatieke onderhandelinge word met Amerika gevoer om die tarief te verminder, spanning te verlig en marktoegang vir die land se uitvoerders te behou. Die vakbondwoordvoerder, Claude Naiker, sê dis belangrik dat die land sterk en bestendige handelsbande met Amerika het:

President Cyril Ramaphosa said recently the State would spend more than a trillion rand over the next three years on building and repairing infrastructure. It sounds like a lot but it's slightly more than just R300bn a year. Is that it? Public Works Minister Dean MacPherson tells Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge the R1trn is just what the State has at the ready to spend with private sector partners. If the take-up is strong – across rail, ports, water, health, education -- it could double the State's contribution and get the country to where we are investing the equivalent of more than 25% of our GDP – that finally breaks the growth barrier and gets people working. But government is slow and disjointed and MacPherson wants to see more spending coming through Infrastructure South Africa, which reports to him. Eskom's transmission business, for instance, is buying land for the 14000km of new lines we need. Yet a lot of the land it needs to acquire already belongs to the government. So why pay for it?

RISE Mzansi sê president Cyril Ramaphosa moet dringend die omvang van die regterlike kommissie van ondersoek na die Polisiediens publiseer sodat dit met sy werk kan begin. Die kommissie sal die rol van huidige of voormalige senior ampsdraers in sekere instellings ondersoek wat moontlik beweerde misdadige bedrywighede aangehelp of aangemoedig het. Makashule Gana van RISE Mzansi sê dis van die uiterste belang dat alle prosesse wat tot die parlementêre en regterlike ondersoeke lei, die regte prosedure moet volg:

Die Forum vir Suid-Afrika beskuldig president Cyril Ramaphosa van magsmisbruik om korrupsie te beskerm ten koste van belastingbetalers. Die forum se woordvoerder, Tebogo Mashilompane, sê Ramaphosa beskerm die elite en ignoreer gewone Suid-Afrikaners se stryd. Mashilompane kritiseer ook sy versuim om die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu, af te dank, omdat hy na bewering onder eed gelieg het. Hy sê die forum eis Ramaphosa se onmiddellike bedanking:

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die regering van nasionale eenheid sal fokus op ekonomiese hervorming, misdaadbekamping en die bou van 'n bekwame staat. Ramaphosa het tydens die begroting van die Presidensie in die Parlement gesê alle departemente moet saamwerk om die ekonomie te laat groei, armoede te verminder en dienslewering te verbeter. Hy voeg by die RNE is daarop gemik om vertroue te herbou en werklike verandering te bewerkstellig, met die nasionale dialoog as 'n belangrike platform om Suid-Afrikaners te verenig:

In today's BizNews Briefing, Prince Mashele slams Cyril Ramaphosa in a fiery SMWX interview; the ANC accuses the DA of undermining national interests amid tensions with the US. Alec Hogg hears from KZN exporters facing 40% tariffs and Dr Frans Cronje on why Helen Zille as Joburg mayor could be a political masterstroke. Minister Solly Malatse discusses Starlink's South African prospects, and Trump denies plotting to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

Die DA sê president Cyril Ramaphosa het maande gelede reeds geweet Amerika het 'n diplomatieke visum aan die voormalige adjunkminister van Finansies, Mcebisi Jonas, geweier en dat sy geloofsbriewe reeds in Mei verwerp is. Hy het egter steeds Suid-Afrika se amptelike gesant gebly en uit die land vertrek sonder voldoende verteenwoordiging in Washington. Emma Louise Powell van die DA vra die dringende aanstelling van 'n geloofwaardige nuwe gesant om die gespanne verhoudings te herstel omdat komende Amerikaanse tariewe uitvoere ernstig gaan bedreig:

Die GOOD-party sê president Cyril Ramaphosa moet dringend die volk oor die diplomatieke strategie vir die VSA inlig. Dit volg na die DA se bewerings dat Ramaphosa maande reeds geweet het dat die spesiale gesant, voormalige adjunkminister van Finansies, Mcebisi Jonas, 'n visum deur Amerika geweier is. Die sekretaris-generaal van die GOOD-party, Brett Herron, sê om aan te hou om Jonas as 'n aktiewe gesant voor te stel kom neer op misleiding en kan Suid-Afrika se kans benadeel om dreigende 30-persent heffings te vermy:

Activists and Citizens Forum sê die minister van Minerale en Petroleum Hulpbronne, Gwede Mantashe, se aanstelling as waarnemende minister van Polisie versterk sy oproep dat president Cyril Ramaphosa bedank. Mantashe sal in die posisie bly tot professor Firoz Cachalia die amp in Augustus oorneem. Dennis Bloem van die forum beskryf Mantashe se aanstelling as ʼn belediging, en sê die land het ʼn president nodig wat die land en sy burgers voor die party se politieke belange stel:

With just two weeks to go before 30% tariffs are likely to come into effect on the 1st of August, it has emerged that President Cyril Ramaphosa's Special Envoy Mcebisi Jonas has not even been able to get into the US because his diplomatic visa was denied and his credentials rejected. In this interview with BizNews, Emma Powell, the Democratic Alliance's spokesperson on International Relations and Cooperation, warns that South Africa is “hurtling towards disaster at a rapid rate” while “once again, the “Presidency and the President's Envoy are missing in action”. Powell charges that President Cyril Ramaphosa is most likely saving face by retaining this Special Envoy despite the diplomatic visa having been rejected, despite the US having informed the Presidency that they will not engage with Jonas. “So, it's my contention here that President Ramaphosa is more invested in saving face than he is in acting in the national interest in ensuring that we get a deal across the line by the 1st of August.” Powell examines the possible reasons for the US' rejection of Jonas, as well his appointment in the first place. Meanwhile, she warns, “hundreds of thousands of jobs are on the line”.

KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi should be protected. So says Moira Campbell, the joint interim leader at Corruption Watch. “…we are concerned about the victimisation of Lieutenant General Mkhwanazi….it took a lot for him to come forward…We must get to the bottom of this - and he should be protected in the process.” Meanwhile, Campbell has some hope that the Commission of Inquiry - appointed by President Cyril Ramaphosa to investigate allegations of underworld links between politicians, cops and crime lords - might be more effective than previous commissions of inquiry. “…the high level nature of these allegations will make it quite difficult to circumvent any kind of attempts to derail the commission”. She describes how Corruption Watch has “for a long time been concerned about the infiltration of criminal syndicates into police structures…at different levels”, and did make submissions to the Zondo Commission back in 2019 already. However, despite a recommendation in the Zondo Commission report that it should be investigated, that did not happen. “…we might have avoided such a situation if those investigations had begun to sort of unravel the criminal links…the fact that these allegations have come to light now, almost forces the hand of the government to actually address this. But, we've lost a lot of time, we've lost opportunities and… it's more than regrettable. It's actually a real failure on the part of our leadership.”

John Maytham is joined by Ferial Haffajee, award-winning journalist and Associate Editor at Daily Maverick, whose recent reporting calls into sharp focus Ramaphosa’s pattern of inaction. Despite explosive findings from both the Sandy Africa Report (after the July 2021 unrest) and the NACAC Report by Firoz Cachalia (now acting police minister), neither has been implemented or even publicly engaged with.

Die DA-leier John Steenhuisen sê alhoewel hulle die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu, se spesiale verlof verwelkom, volg dit ná nasionale ontsteltenis. President Cyril Ramaphosa het ook ʼn kommissie van ondersoek aangewys om bewerings van misdaadsindikate se infiltrasie van wetstoepassing, intelligensie en verwante instellings in die strafregstelsel te ondersoek. Steenhuisen sê hulle sal nie ʼn jare lange proses aanvaar wat verdoemende bewyse insamel, maar geen aanspreeklikheid vereis nie:

Build One South Africa sê president Cyril Ramaphosa moes eerder die Spesiale Ondersoekeenheid opdrag gegee het om die provinsiale polisiekommissaris van KwaZulu-Natal, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, se bewerings te ondersoek. Die president het ʼn regterlike ondersoek ingestel na die bewerings in verband met misdaadsindikate se infiltrering van wetstoepassing, intelligensie en verwante instellings in die strafregstelsel. BOSA-leier Mmusi Maimane sê dis kommerwekkend dat die president gekies het om geregtigheid met ʼn ondersoek te vertraag:

President Cyril Ramaphosa het die vestiging van 'n regterlike kommissie van ondersoek aangekondig om bewerings deur die KwaZulu-Natalse polisiekommissaris Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi te ondersoek. Hy het bewerings gemaak teen senior wetstoepassingsbeamptes en die polisieminister Senzo Mchunu. Waarnemende adjunkhoofregter Mbuyiseli Madlanga sal die ondersoek lei. Ramaphosa sê die kommissie sal bewerings ondersoek wat verband hou met misdaadsindikate se infiltrasie van wetstoepassing, intelligensie en verwante instellings binne die strafregstelsel:

Die buurland se polisieminister, Senzo Mchunu, sê hy verwelkom president Cyril Ramaphosa se besluit om hom met onmiddellike ingang op spesiale verlof te plaas. Dit is terwyl ʼn kommissie van ondersoek bewerings deur KwaZulu-Natal se polisiekommissaris, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, ondersoek. Hy beskuldig die minister dat hy inmeng by sensitiewe polisieondersoeke en met sakepersone, insluitend moordbeskuldigdes, saamgespan het om die taakspan oor politieke moorde te ontbind. Mchunu se woordvoerder, Kamogelo Mokgotse, sê die minister ondersteun die proses:

Die EFF-leier Julius Malema voer aan die polisieminister Senzo Mchunu en lede van die polisiebestuur moet ontslaan word in die lig van bewerings van politieke inmenging in die uitvoerende gesag. Malema het tydens die begrafnis van oud-adjunkpresident David Mabuza in Mbombela gesê die publiek het vertroue in wetstoepassing verloor en president Cyril Ramaphosa moet optree ná die bewerings van luitenant-generaal Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi:
