Clement Manyathela speaks to presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya after President Cyril Ramaphosa publicly rebuked National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola for returning 121 political killings dockets to KwaZulu-Natal. The move has sparked outrage, with critics warning it could undermine the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, which is tasked with investigating corruption and political interference within the South African Police Service. As concerns mount over delayed justice in politically sensitive cases, questions arise about public trust: can South Africans still believe in the integrity of law enforcement? And what signal does this send to whistle-blowers and families still waiting for justice? 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Die Activists and Citizens Forum sê president Cyril Ramaphosa het die mense van Suid-Afrika in die steek gelaat. Dit volg na inwoners van Westbury in Johannesburg, Gauteng, die week die strate ingevaar het oor 'n gebrek aan skoon drinkwater en ander basiese dienste. Dennis Bloem van die forum voer aan dat toestande onder Ramaphosa se leierskap vererger het, met munisipaliteite wat in duie stort en wydverspreide korrupsie:

Lex Libertas just released a report called "The many, many commissions of Cyril Ramaphosa". This report shed some light on all the judiciary commissions, dialogues, panels, advisory councils and task teams Ramaphosa has established since the start of his presidency. Lex Libertas argues that this amounts to a repetitive delay tactic to deflect from taking decisive action which might lead to internal divisions in the ruling political elite. As a result, the general public suffers from commission fatigue, and a loss of faith in the South African government. Further, Lex Libertas argues that the solution is decentralisation of the political system in South Africa to facilitate autonomy and self-governance for the various communities that live here. You can read the full report here - https://cdn.lexlibertas.org.za/reports/2025/08/1756321599353-vcxcap-The_Many__Many_Commissions_of_Cyril_Ramaphosa.pdf

Lobby group, Sakeliga says they have issued an ultimatum to President Cyril Ramaphosa and key Ministers, demanding immediate intervention in the collapsing Ditsobotla Municipality. The group has taken legal action to compel the national government to step in, citing years of failed service delivery, administrative chaos, and alleged negligence by provincial and national authorities. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Sakelige's Legal Officer, Heleen van der Merwe

Interested parties and institutions, including survivors and affected families of Human Rights atrocities during the apartheid-era have until today to register to participate in the pre-consultation processes of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into allegations or attempts to stop the investigation or prosecution of Truth and Reconciliation Commission cases. The Inquiry is led by retired Constitutional Court Justice Sisi Khampepe and it was established by President Cyril Ramaphosa in May this year. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Inquiry's spokesperson, Lionel Adendorf

In the latest Sunday Show, Chris Steyn hosts Renaldo Gouws, former Parliamentarian, podcaster and industrial psychologist. He speaks about the litany of woes besetting the once mighty African National Congress (ANC) that is now “bleeding” support: the breaking of ranks by Senzo Mchunu, the Police Minister on special leave, and long-time Jacob Zuma ally Malusi Gigaba. He warns that the raging factional battles in the party could force out President Cyril Ramaphosa if a secret ballot is allowed in the upcoming Vote of No Confidence. Gouws questions the “attempted hijacking” narrative around the attack on Police Portfolio Committee Chair Ian Cameron, as well as the political relevance of Deputy Defence Minister Bantu Holomisa who threw an on-air tantrum last week. Gouws further dissects the “double standards” at the heart of the saga of Kleinfontein, the Whites-only settlement threatened with demolition by the City of Tshwane. He also comments on his own Press Ombudsman victory against News24.

22.08.25 Pt 1 - Gareth Cliff and Leigh-Ann Mol open the show by tackling the strange silence of President Cyril Ramaphosa, who seems to have gone missing in action while the country faces crisis after crisis. Their conversation takes a sharp turn into international politics, as they debate Donald Trump's rise to “rockstar” status and what that means for global leadership. Clinical psychologist Dr Hanan Bushkin joins the discussion alongside Ben Karpinski to unpack the worrying reality of South African schools — where classrooms are starting to resemble battlegrounds instead of safe learning spaces. The team wrap things up with a heated sports report, as Ben breaks down the frustration of South African fans following Dricus du Plessis' tough loss, and yet another defeat to Australia that has left local supporters feeling bruised.

With MTN facing mounting legal challenges because of its links to Iran, BizNews interviews US Attorney Nicholas Reddick whose firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher and partner firm Sparacino have filed five lawsuits on behalf of over 500 American veterans and family members who lost their loved ones in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. “…there have been former employees or officials at MTN that have come forward and provided evidence that we believe establishes our allegations that MTN was knowingly supporting terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan…we believe we've obtained evidence and have, again, well-founded allegations that everyone at the highest levels of MTN knew what was going on”. Asked if President Cyril Ramaphosa's name features in the lawsuits, Reddick says: “Yes, so he does appear in our complaint. You know, he was heavily involved in the leadership at MTN for a time.” As for the US Government's Grand Jury investigation into MTN, Reddick - a former Department of Justice Prosecutor - says: “Typically when the department opens a grand jury investigation, it's because they believe they have well founded evidence of wrongdoing.” **Read MTN's full response to the interview here: https://www.biznews.com/sa-investing/right-reply-mtn-group-rejects-claims-terrorism-support

The launch of the national dialogue has reignited debate about whether the process can genuinely help fix the country's problems or it is just another stage to advance elite interests.Political analyst and Public Affairs Research Institute executive director Dr Sithembile Mbete says dialogue has been a recurring theme in South Africa's democratic journey.“It comes from this idea that we are so fractured as a nation across political, racial and class lines and that we somehow need to talk to each other to find a solution,” she explains.She likens the initiative to “post-conflict negotiations” but warns that dialogue without a clear end goal risks becoming hollow. “We should always ask: what is the outcome supposed to be?”Arena Holdings editor-at-large S'thembiso Msomi agrees, saying South Africans have long felt that “what we have is not enough”.“Clearly there's general unhappiness about where South Africa is going,” he says.

South Africa's President, Cyril Ramaphosa has launched a national dialogue called “uniting voices, shaping the nation". It's an ambitious plan to confront its most pressing challenges and unite a nation still wrestling with the legacy of apartheid, deep inequality, and mounting political tension.

In the latest Sunday Show on BizNews, Chris Steyn hosts Renaldo Gouws, former Parliamentarian, industrial psychologist and Podcaster to talk about another tumultuous week in South African politics. He examines the motives of the African National Congress (ANC) with the National Dialogue and its move to control the Parliamentary Inquiry into the allegations made by the whistleblowing KZN General “Lucky” Mkhwanazi. “…Ramaphosa has never been the President of South Africa. Cyril Ramaphosa has always tried to be the President of the ANC and trying to save the ANC.” Meanwhile, people have also become “gatvol” of the Government of National Unity (GNU). “So the boogeyman that has been created by political parties, especially the DA, is that we need to stay in the GNU because we're keeping the real enemies out. What real enemies, though, if you've already passed the BELA Act, the NHI Act, the Expropriation Act? What more is there that the opposition would have stood against if you didn't pass what you've passed?” Gouws delves deeply into the racist tweet storm that has hit Sports, Arts and Culture Minister and the Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader Gayton McKenzie. As for the visit to Iran by South Africa's top SANDF general and the misaligned spin from DIRCO, the Minister and the President, he says “…this just reinforces the belief that Cyril Ramaphosa is the weakest president that we've had in this country”.

More and more parties and organisations are withdrawing from the National Convention amid fears that the National Dialogue will become an African National Congress (ANC) monologue. In this interview with BizNews, Dr Theuns Eloff of the Afrikaner Leadership Network (ALN) says: “There are, for good reason, fears and suspicions that the Presidency has taken this over, not as a Government of National Unity, but as an ANC Presidency to steer this process into a certain way and to avert any negative criticism that can come to the ANC.” On top of that there is a real fear that the ANC could misuse the dialogue to boost its chances in local government elections next year. “It's like the ANC says we don't have enough money in our own coffers to run a campaign, let us use the National Dialogue for that. And if the ANC goes ahead alone with these things with public money, then they have a campaign. They can wage their campaign without interference from anyone else.” Furthermore, Dr Eloff expresses concern that President Cyril Ramaphosa sees the National Dialogue as his personal legacy. “It's said in the Presidency that he wants a thousand people there because he wants to make a speech. Now that is not a National Dialogue. That is exactly an ANC monologue.” Meanwhile, Dr Eloff outlines the dialogue options open to civil society organisations.

Athol Trollip, Member of the National Assembly and ActionSA leader, joins the conversation amid growing concern that the upcoming National Dialogue is unravelling before it begins. The Democratic Alliance has dismissed the event as a costly “talk shop” and called for its cancellation. Prominent civil society organisations, including the Steve Biko Foundation and the Thabo Mbeki Foundation, have withdrawn, citing a lack of credibility and meaningful engagement. Trollip reveals that ActionSA is also reconsidering its involvement, arguing that South Africans are desperate for tangible action on the economy and jobs—not more political theatre. With growing scepticism from both political and civil society actors, we explore whether the National Dialogue still serves the public interest or has become a stage-managed exercise in optics. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Trump's new tariffs hit South Africa hard, and Cyril Ramaphosa barely lifts a finger. This week, Kanthan and Jonathan unpack how the President's failure to negotiate a better deal leaves the country exposed, and what it means for our already fragile economy.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Vincent Magwenya, Presidential Spokesperson, about growing tensions surrounding the National Dialogue initiative, which President Cyril Ramaphosa has championed as a pivotal moment for national unity. Several prominent civil society organisations – including those associated with Steve Biko, Desmond and Leah Tutu, Oliver Tambo, and FW de Klerk – have withdrawn from the process, citing a rushed timeline, lack of preparation, and perceived government control. The Thabo Mbeki Foundation, once thought to be instrumental in engaging stakeholders, is now being blamed for driving the withdrawal of these key players. Magwenya addresses the fallout and its implications for the President’s leadership. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Big disagreements and divisions are at the heart of some major current political developments here in South Africa and abroad. We speak to columnist and commentator Jonathan Katzenellenbogen. He dissects the row between former president Thabo Mbeki and President Cyril Ramaphosa over the process for the National Dialogue; the row between Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago and Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana over prospects for a tighter inflation target; US President Donald Trump's ongoing Tariff War and African National Congress (ANC) SG Fikile Mbalula's defiance over possible sanctions against the party's leaders; Trump's upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin from which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the Europeans are excluded; as well as divisions that have emerged between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Force (IDF) chiefs and allies over Gaza.

After an absence of four Sundays, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), was back on the Sunday Show today with Chris Steyn. Calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to step down, he says: “… Wake up, resign…Mr. Ramaphosa, can't you see the signs? Can't you see they don't like you? Can't you see that they are conspiring against you?” With legacy foundations deserting the preparatory task team of Ramaphosa's National Dialogue, De Beer says: “…slowly but surely all of them will leave the rat's cage”. Responding to the charge that he himself is spearheading the #ANCMustFall movement, De Beer says: “…the ANC is doing it themselves to themselves…” He urges both the President and his party to “Voetsek”. Commenting on the crisis in SAPS, he says: “I see ourselves having to totally, totally re-educate and totally rebuild the policing service of this country. They've annihilated themselves.” As for the latest Commission of Inquiry appointed by the President, De Beer says: “..they're not commissions, they're complications because they are a way that Cyril puts things aside…if we don't have civilian action against these people, we're not going to get action at all”.

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die Nasionale Dialoog sal op 15 Augustus voortgaan ten spyte van die onttrekking van ses groot stigtings, insluitend dié van Thabo Mbeki, Steve Biko en FW de Klerk. Die groepe beskuldig die regering dat hulle beheer oorneem oor wat 'n burgergeleide proses behoort te wees en wil hê dat die geleentheid uitgestel word. Ramaphosa sê egter die meeste van die 750 genooide organisasies het bywoning bevestig, en beklemtoon Suid-Afrikaners wil hê die dialoog moet voortgaan:

President Cyril Ramaphosa het per telefoon met sy Russiese ampsgenoot, Vladimir Putin, gepraat oor die oorlog in Oekraïne en sake van gemeenskaplike, bilaterale belang. Sedert Rusland se volskaalse inval in Oekraïne het Westerse nasies verreikende sanksies teen Moskou ingestel in ʼn poging om sy oorlogspoging te stuit. Suid-Afrika het egter ʼn beleid van nie-belyning met beide lande. Ramaphosa se woordvoerder, Vincent Magwenya, sê die bespreking het gevolg na Putin se versoek om Ramaphosa in te lig oor die vredesproses met Oekraïne:

Die Vryheidsfront Plus sê Suid-Afrika se diplomatieke en handelskrisis kan regstreeks toegeskryf word aan die ANC-regering se voortgesette sosialistiese beleid en mislukte buitelandse beleid. Dit volg nadat Amerika tariewe van 30-persent op Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoerprodukte gehef het. Jaco Mulder van die VF Plus sê die minister van Handel en Nywerheid, Parks Tau, en president Cyril Ramaphosa se onlangse verklarings dat alternatiewe markte deur die Afrika-vryhandelsooreenkoms en met die Ooste ondersoek sal word, bied min troos:

L'entrée en vigueur de la plupart des nouveaux droits de douane imposés par les États-Unis à leurs partenaires commerciaux, c'est aujourd'hui, jeudi 7 août 2025.

Aujourd'hui, avec le grand banquier rwandais Donald Kaberuka, Lionel Zinsou est le patron de « South Bridge », en français, « Le Pont du Sud », une société de conseil financier. Il livre son expertise au micro de Christophe Boisbouvier.     RFI : Est-ce que ces surtaxes américaines risquent de ralentir la croissance du continent africain ?   Lionel Zinsou : Très faiblement, en fait. En revanche, ça va impacter quelques pays et spectaculairement l'Afrique du Sud. Mais ça ne concerne pas tout le continent.   25 pays africains devraient être touchés par ces augmentations de taxes. Quelles sont à vos yeux les pays qui vont être le plus impactés ? L'Afrique du Sud d'abord, c'est ça ?   Oui, L'Afrique du Sud… Certains pays qui avaient vraiment orienté leur commerce extérieur avec une grande confiance vers les États-Unis, comme le petit Lesotho. Au fond, tous ceux qui sont un peu plus industrialisés que les autres et qui avaient à exporter des produits d'une grande valeur, par exemple les exportations automobiles de l'Afrique du Sud, ça, ce sont des exportations à très forte valeur ajoutée, et c'est ça qui va être le plus impacté. Plus vous êtes industrialisé, plus vous allez en souffrir.   On se souvient de la rencontre glaciale à la Maison Blanche entre Donald Trump et Cyril Ramaphosa. Est-ce que les mesures douanières contre l'Afrique du Sud n'ont pas un caractère politique ?   Si, certainement. Derrière la sanction de 30 % de droits de douane, alors que pour les autres pays, c'est ou 10% ou 15%, il y a eu une fixation politique à l'évidence sur l'Afrique du Sud, très probablement liée à des sujets non-africains. Par exemple, le fait que l'Afrique du Sud ait traîné Israël devant la Cour pénale internationale avec un assez grand succès diplomatique. C'est probablement une rétorsion, un petit peu dans la même logique que pour le Brésil. Mais en Afrique du Sud, cela va avoir un impact. C'est un des pays qui ont malheureusement une croissance faible. Donc, ça risque effectivement de les mettre en récession. Cela étant, il y a des remèdes quand même à cette situation, parce que vous avez sans doute vu la réaction de la Chine. La Chine, aujourd'hui, elle importe surtout de l'Afrique, non pas des biens à forte valeur ajoutée et manufacturés, mais vraiment des matières premières. Et les Chinois ont une opportunité de commencer à acquérir des produits à valeur ajoutée venant d'Afrique. L'autre remède, c'est la zone de libre-échange continentale. On est en train de négocier, de faire tomber toutes les barrières douanières à l'intérieur du continent. Et donc les Africains commerçant avec les Africains, ça, ça va être à la fois un facteur de croissance significative et un remplacement pour les pays les plus industrialisés. Donc l'Afrique du Sud, qui est déjà un grand fournisseur du reste de l'Afrique, va l'être encore un peu plus.   Parmi les pays les plus touchés par les mesures de Washington, il y a les producteurs d'acier et d'aluminium. Est-ce que l'Algérie et l'Égypte ne risquent pas d'être très impactées ?   Alors, comme vous l'avez souligné, c'est quand même essentiellement un mouvement politique et vous savez que l'Égypte est un peu exonérée. Donc, avec l'Égypte, pour des raisons géopolitiques, c'est probablement plus confortable qu'avec l'Algérie. Mais si vous prenez un pays comme le mien qui va être taxé à 10 %...  Le Bénin…  Oui. Sur le textile. Alors c'est important parce que, après tout ce qui est produit de matières premières brutes, le textile, en fait, c'est ce qui avait fait le plus de progrès dans les échanges entre l'Afrique et les États-Unis. À raison de l'Éthiopie, mais aussi aujourd'hui de pays comme le Togo, le Bénin, qui ont de plus en plus de valeur ajoutée sur le textile. Mais vous voyez, quand vous achetez un polo de luxe à 100 € ou 100 $, il est sorti d'usine et monté sur un bateau à Cotonou à 10 $. Quand on va mettre 10 %, ça veut dire que ça va augmenter d'un dollar sur votre facture à vous, client, de 100 $. Parce que, en réalité, une très grande partie de la valeur ajoutée est faite dans le pays d'accueil. Et donc c'est aux États-Unis, les frais de marketing, les taxes américaines. Il y a aussi tous les intermédiaires, les transports, etc. Donc, il faut faire un tout petit peu attention. Ça ne va pas complètement désorganiser les marchés. Mais si vous exportez une voiture haut de gamme, japonaise ou allemande, qui vient des usines d'Afrique du Sud, c'est une tout autre affaire. Parce que là, pour le coup, la valeur ajoutée, elle vient d'Afrique. Ce ne sont pas les intermédiaires qui en prennent la plus grande partie. Et là, vous allez avoir un arrêt de la production, du chômage, etc. Mais il y a bien pire, évidemment. Le fait que les Américains, qu'ils aient supprimé l'aide alimentaire et sanitaire, ça, c'est encore plus grave. Parce que la fermeture de l'aide publique de l'USAID, notamment humanitaire, là, il y a mort d'homme. Ce qui est un peu différent des droits de douane. Et donc, politiquement, on voit bien qu'il va y avoir un coût politique pour les États-Unis.  

President Cyril Ramaphosa en sy Amerikaanse ampsgenoot, Donald Trump, het hulle verbind tot voortgesette bilaterale handelsooreenkomste. Dit volg op 'n telefoongesprek waarin die twee leiers belangrike ekonomiese sake bespreek het, insluitend die nuwe Amerikaanse tariewe van 30-persent op sekere Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoere wat van vandag van krag is. Die woordvoerder in die Presidensie, Vincent Magwenya, sê die regering poog om Suid-Afrika se handelsbelange te beskerm namate wêreldwye ekonomiese druk toeneem:

Die families en oorlewendes van apartheidsmisdade het president Cyril Ramaphosa se aansoek om 'n grondwetlike skadevergoedingsaak uit te stel, gekritiseer. Die families eis 168-miljoen-rand vir wat hulle die staat se growwe versuim noem om politieke misdade, wat die Waarheids- en Versoeningskommissie uitgewys het, te ondersoek en te vervolg. Ramaphosa wil hê die Hooggeregshof in Pretoria moet die skadevergoedingsaak staak hangende 'n ondersoek deur 'n kommissie van ondersoek. Zaid Kimmie van die Foundation for Human Rights sê die families soek geregtigheid:

John Maytham speaks to Adriaan Basson, Editor-in-Chief of News24, whose recent column suggests that Ramaphosa could have averted some of this economic fallout — by doing more to engage the Trump administration. From failing to appoint a US ambassador to refusing to distance himself from controversial policies and figures, Basson argues this was one of Ramaphosa’s weakest diplomatic moments.

Die ANC-jeugliga sê hulle eis die vinnige en beslissende instel van 'n handelsbeleid ná Amerika se aankondiging oor 30-persent-tariewe op Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoere. President Cyril Ramaphosa het tydens die ANC se nasionale uitvoerende komiteevergadering in Ekurhuleni gesê die regering sal maatreëls instel om die veerkragtigheid van die ekonomie en toekomstige uitvoere te verseker. Die Liga se woordvoerder, Zama Khanyase, sê progressiewe beleidsaankondigings gaan te dikwels nie gepaard met praktiese uitvoering nie:

President Cyril Ramaphosa is surrounded by advisors that are “mainly inept”. So says political commentator Phapano Phasha. She says he has “juniorised” his office with people “who cannot lead”. Meanwhile, the President is also “highly embedded” in the narrative surrounding allegations of police capture made by General “Lucky” Mkhwanazi. Phasha predicts that “whoever has the money will likely win the ANC conference and become the next ANC president”. In this factional race, SG Fikile Mbalula “has everything intact because he's got external people who support him. He is in charge of branches. But he's the weakest of them all.” Commenting on former President Jacob Zuma's threat of further legal action and political mobilisation unless the President resigns by Friday, Phasha says his MKP is on a collision course. “It's like the Titanic… that kind of organisation, it will eventually break. But for now, I think it's a necessary irritation because what we're having is we're having a GNU and this GNU is unfortunately not able to hold the ANC accountable.” Meanwhile, she warns that the Democratic Alliance (DA) is likely to be punished in the next election. “I had hoped that the NEC would agree to kick off the DA out of the GNU because what you would then have is a more robust Democratic Alliance.” She also blasts Gayton McKenzie's Patriotic Alliance (PA) as a party that would not be in Parliament in a “seasoned democracy”. “But unfortunately, this is where we are. Our politics are mediocre. We are led by the worst in society. Professionals, academics and business people, the patriotic intelligentsia has taken a backseat and allowed this type of people to lead our country.”

Clement Manyathela and the listeners discuss the continued animosity between former President Jacob Zuma and President Cyril Ramaphosa. Listeners also comment on whether General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s response to a journalist who requested information from him was fair. Mkhwanazi is alleged to have accused the journalist of being a beneficiary of criminal syndicates.

Die ANC-president Cyril Ramaphosa sê die regering gaan voort om met die Verenigde State te praat oor die normalisering van handelsbetrekkinge en die versterking van bilaterale bande. Dit volg op Amerika se besluit om 'n eensydige tarief van 30-persent op Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoere te hef. Ramaphosa vra vir meer beleggings in die instelling van die Afrika-vasteland Vryhandelsgebied en die afwisseling van uitvoermarkte:

Die Mining Affected Communities United in Action het president Cyril Ramaphosa gevra dat die Madlanga-kommissie dadelik moet ondersoek instel na die polisie se Operasie Vala Umgodi. Woordvoerder Sabelo Mguni sê dit volg na Vrydag se inhegtenisneming van 400 vermeende onwettige immigrante by 'n myn in Barberton, Mpumalanga. Mguni sê hulle glo die operasie word nie gebruik om sindikate af te breek nie, maar om die leierskap te beskerm terwyl die swakste skakels in die ketting gestraf word:

Saftu doen 'n beroep op president Cyril Ramaphosa om 'n nasionale noodvergadering te belê om die besluit van president Donald Trump te bespreek om 'n straftarief van 30-persent op Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoere in te stel. Saftu se woordvoerder, Asive Dyani, sê Ramaphosa moet uiteenlopende handel bespoedig, die vryhandelsgebied van die Afrika-vasteland ten volle benut en ekonomiese bande sluit met Latyns-Amerika, Asië en die Globale Suide:

Action Society het president Cyril Ramaphosa gekritiseer omdat hy nie die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu, afgedank het nie, te midde van ernstige bewerings teen hom van sameswering met misdaadsindikate. Die organisasie voer aan Ramaphosa se besluit om die duur Madlanga-kommissie ter waarde van 148 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand van stapel te stuur in plaas van om Mchunu te verwyder, is ondoeltreffend. Juanita du Preez van Action Society meen dis onwaarskynlik dat hierdie benadering geregtigheid of werklike hervorming sal meebring, net soos die Zondo-kommissie.

Professor Firoz Cachalia is amptelik ingehuldig as waarnemende minister van Polisie in die Uniegebou in Pretoria. Cachalia neem oor by Senzo Mchunu, wat op spesiale verlof is na aanleiding van die KwaZulu-Natalse polisie-kommissaris, Nhlanhla Mkwanazi, se bewerings van korrupsie. Die Konstitusionele Hof het gister die MK-party se aansoek teen president Cyril Ramaphosa se reg tot die aanstelling verwerp. Cachalia, 'n gewese anti-apartheidsaktivis, neem sy plek in te midde van toenemende kommer oor openbare vertroue in wetstoepassing:

Solidariteit sê ʼn handelsooreenkoms tussen Suid-Afrika en Amerika is steeds moontlik, ondanks die tarief van 30-persent-tarief wat van vandag geld op Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoere na Amerika. Die Departement van Handel, Nywerheid en Mededinging het ʼn stel maatreëls aangekondig na aanleiding van die tariefverhoging, onder meer ʼn uitvoerondersteuningskantoor. Jaco Kleynhans van Solidariteit sê hulle sal vandag ʼn raamwerk vir ʼn handelsooreenkoms aan presidente Cyril Ramaphosa en Donald Trump stuur:

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 Donald Trump has recently criticized the ANC-led government of South Africa for what he says are state-sanctioned, racist policies that have been endangering white farmers.In this episode, I sit down with South African businessman and entrepreneur Robert Hersov to get a read on what's happening in the country. What is the real story surrounding white farmers in South Africa today? What role have Iran and Russia played in the region? And what can we expect from U.S.-South Africa relations moving forward, after the confrontational meeting between Trump and President Cyril Ramaphosa last month?“In South Africa, we have two farm attacks a day, two murders of farmers a week. And of those farm murders, 20 percent of them involve rape and torture,” says Hersov.“Cyril Ramaphosa went back to South Africa and proclaimed his meeting as a huge victory,” says Hersov. “I think America is about to unleash serious punishments—not on South Africa, but on the leaders.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Ernst Roets about South Africa's growing racial tensions; the government's push for land expropriation without compensation; the global reaction to chants like “kill the Boer”; the role of media and leaders like Donald Trump in bringing attention to South Africa; the failures of the centralized government of the African National Congress under Cyril Ramaphosa; the case for decentralization and self-governance for diverse communities; the need to protect property rights and civil liberties; and much more. #RubinReport #SouthAfrica #southafricapolitics #africannationalcongress #southafricans #expropriation #ErnstRoets #daverubin
