Unpaid fines could paralyse businesses under new AARTO demerit system – Barry Berman (SA Fines)

South Africa's long-awaited Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) system takes effect on 1 December 2025 in 69 municipalities, including Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, with smaller regions to follow in April. Barry Berman, CEO of traffic fine platform Fines SA, says he expects the current fine settlement rate, currently as low as 20%, to rise to over 90% with the introduction of the new demerit points system. In an interview with BizNews, Berman warned that unpaid fines could become a logistical nightmare for companies with vehicles, affecting not just the driver or fleet manager but the business itself. Under AARTO, traffic fines for company vehicles will now be linked directly to a business's Registration Number (BRN), rather than an individual. This means unpaid fines could block the company's BRN on the Electronic National Administration Traffic Information System (eNaTIS), halting vehicle licence disc renewals, new registrations, and suspending driver licences. Berman urged businesses to sign up with Fines SA to track and settle outstanding fines in time and cautioned motorists to be wary of clone sites and fraudulent apps.

Tyler considers Winnie and Nelson: Portrait of a Marriage one of the best books of the last decade, and its author Jonny Steinberg one of the most underrated writers and thinkers—in North America, at least. Steinberg's particular genius lies in getting uncomfortably close to difficult truths through immersive research—spending 350 hours in police ride-alongs, years studying prison gangs and their century-old oral histories, following a Somali refugee's journey across East Africa—and then rendering what he finds with a novelist's emotional insight. Tyler and Jonny discuss why South African police only feel comfortable responding to domestic violence calls, how to fix policing, the ghettoization of crime, how prison gangs regulate behavior through century-old rituals, how apartheid led to mass incarceration and how it manifested in prisons, why Nelson Mandela never really knew his wife Winnie and the many masks they each wore, what went wrong with the ANC, why the judiciary maintained its independence but not its quality, whether Tyler should buy land in Durban, the art scene in Johannesburg, how COVID gave statism a new lease on life, why the best South African novels may still be ahead, his forthcoming biography of Cecil Rhodes, why English families weren't foolish to move to Rhodesia in the 1920s, where to take an ideal two-week trip around South Africa, and more.

Sane Mazibuko's introduction to type 1 diabetes was waking up in hospital after collapsing as a 6-year-old. But as she tells us in this heartfelt episode, being told what to do to manage a health condition is not the same as being told why or how.Growing up in Durban, South Africa, Sane had moved across the country as an adult before she spoke to her first endocrinologist, and after years of confusing and isolating experiences, she eventually found the support team that allowed her to be honest about her condition.29 years into life with type 1 diabetes, Sane now uses the information and experience she's gathered to help others in South Africa and beyond to better understand the life it's possible to live with the condition, from eating the same foods as everyone else to workplace support, to coming back from burnout. As she says on her social media, Sane's decision to ‘choose softness daily', is helping her move through the challenges that type 1 diabetes endlessly presents. Sane also talks poignantly about educating her young daughter about her mum's diabetes, including being able to understand Sane's CGM readings

Le fonds intitulé The hidden years of music, soit « les années cachées de la musique », est l'une des plus grosses collections d'enregistrements et de documents du pays qui relatent la vie musicale sous l'apartheid, en particulier dans les années 1970-1980. Tout cela a été rassemblé, à l'époque, par un passionné. De notre correspondante à Stellenbosch, Cet enregistrement de Johnny Clegg et Sipho Mchunu à leurs débuts fait partie des pépites dont le fonds des hidden years of music regorge. La conservatrice, Lizabé Lambrechts, a travaillé plusieurs années sur cette collection pour la réorganiser et en superviser la numérisation : « Il y a plus de 7 000 enregistrements sur vinyles, environ 30 000 photos, et quelque chose comme 7 à 8 tonnes de documents. Donc ce sont vraiment d'énormes archives. »  Ce trésor musical est désormais conservé à l'université de Stellenbosch, mais aussi en ligne, et on le doit à un homme : David Marks, compositeur, chanteur, ingénieur du son et producteur, qui a enregistré des heures et des heures de concerts. David Marks au festival de Woodstock de 1969 « David a travaillé au festival américain de Woodstock de 1969. Il y a rencontré Bill Hanley, qui lui a donné une partie du matériel de sonorisation pour le ramener en Afrique du Sud. Cela a permis à David d'organiser de grands concerts en plein air. Et il a enregistré tous ces événements, pris des photos, gardé les posters, et c'est comme ça que ces archives sont nées. Laissez-moi vous jouer un petit extrait… David a commencé à organiser ces concerts « Tribal Blues » à partir de 1971, et c'était parmi les seuls, en Afrique du Sud, à être interraciaux, en plein pendant l'apartheid. Donc c'étaient vraiment des moments magiques, imaginez comment cela devait être incroyable. » Lizabé Lambrechts conserve avec elle une petite partie de ces archives, pour achever son travail. Certains éléments ne sont pas toujours en bon état, car David Marks les a gardés dans son garage, sur la côte Est très humide. « Laissez-moi voir si je peux ouvrir ça ... Vous pouvez sentir cette légère odeur ? C'est une bobine du festival de musique pop de Monterey que David projetait lors de cafés-clubs qu'il organisait à Johannesburg et à Durban. Il voulait partager des films et de la musique pour que les gens connaissent ce qui se fait dans le monde. » De la contre-culture musicale face à l'apartheid Pour les chercheurs universitaires comme Ashrudeen Waggie, qui travaille sur les concerts organisés en Afrique du Sud pendant la période de boycott culturel, ce sont des documents rares : « C'est une très bonne source pour moi. Je pense que cela permet de mettre en avant une partie de l'histoire qui est restée cachée sous l'apartheid, donc c'est important. » Cette collection permet donc de redécouvrir la contre-culture musicale qui s'est construite face à l'apartheid et un pan de la résistance culturelle de l'époque.

This is episode 238 and it's going to be full of legal back and forth, all about the Langalibalele Rebellion, another little war as the London times called it — it's action at Bushman's River Pass after which British engineers will be sent to blow up bits of the Drakensberg. In 1873 Benjamin Chilly Campbell Pine was reappointed as Lieutenant-Governor of Natal. Pine was a career officer in the British Colonial Services, and this was the second time he was taking up the post of Lieutenant Governor in Natal. His first stint was logged between April 1850 to March 1855 and Pinetown on the hills above Durban is named after him. Then he spent time in the Gold Coast in Ghana, then the West Indies, as Governor of the Leeward Islands and Antigua. His second stint was cut short largely because of how he was going to deal with the Langalibalele affair. Two other colonials will feature through our story this episode, one being Theophilus Shepstone the Secretary of Native Affairs in Natal, and the other was Bishop John Colenso who was a liberal humanist and the implacable enemy of most British settlers. Pine's administration had to contend with the "Shepstone System," a policy of indirect rule developed by Theophilus Shepstone. This controversially separated African and European populations and was a dominant force in Natal's governance during Pine's tenure. While Pine and Shepstone collaborated, their administrations also faced criticism from white settlers over issues of land, labor, and the financing of native policy. The other main character of our tale today was Langalibalele, the hereditary chief of the Hlubi tribe from around 1836. After fleeing Zululand in 1849, he and his fellow refugees were granted land by the colonial authorities in the Escourt District, west of the town along the Msuluzi and Mtshezi Rivers. The town was laid out by Colonel Estcourt In 1847 and named after the British officer. The land the amaHlubi were handed was technically not for free, their obligations included protecting the colony from the San Raiders some galloping in from as far away as the Maluti Mountains. Langalibalele and his people were part of the Shepstone System, granted their own territory seperated from white farms. Ten years after arriving in their fertile rolling hills, Langalibalele headed off to Iswatini, Swaziland, where he'd fetched his head wife, uMzamose in 1857. There was some confusion about what the amaHlubi were expected to do. Essentially, their role was to form a buffer zone in the region and were even presented with some guns for that purpose, and once jobs opened up on the diamond mines, hundreds of amaHlubi men headed off to labour in Griqualand West, returning with valuable goods like horses, and more guns. The people flourished through the 1860s and into the early 1870s and were at peace with the colonial farmers, growing from 7 000 to 10 000 souls, with 15 000 head of cattle. The original 364 square kilometres of their land extended to more than 700 square kilometres. But the relationship with the British was riven by confusion and distrust. Natal was isolated from the hinterland by the formidabble Drakensberg Mountains, and was surrounded by black nations, thus increasing the paranoia of the settlers. The amaThembu and Xhosa to the south were respected, not to mention the amaZulu to the north East. Communication with the Cape was slow along the few roads and by sea, there were also few transport corridors in Natal itself which engendering a feeling of insecurity among the colonists.In Early March 1873 John Macfarlane singled Langalibalele and the amaHlubi out and demanded the registration of their guns in terms of Law 5. Langalibalele said he was too busy and suffering from an illness, and could not be expected to head off across such as vast area looking for his 2000 men and counting their guns. A war was brewing.

My Rock Moment had the extraordinary privilege of catching up with Blondie Chaplin, a true legend whose musical journey reads like a who's-who of rock history. Born in Durban, South Africa, he first made waves as a teen with The Flames, eventually catching the attention of Carl Wilson, who helped bring him into the Beach Boys family in the early 1970s. During our conversation, Blondie took me back to that pivotal era - remembering how he and Ricky Fataar joined the group following Bruce Johnston's departure and Dennis Wilson's hand injury. It was a time when the band sought new identity and creative depth, and Blondie's soulful presence helped shape that fresh direction. We delved into the making of "Sail On, Sailor," the standout track from Holland (1973), which Blondie famously sang lead on. He shared how the song wasn't just another composition. Recorded in a barn outside of Amsterdam and finished at Village Recorders in L.A., Blondie recalled how Carl and the rest of the band coaxed him into singing it, and how the performance eventually anchored the album. Then we turned to his time with The Rolling Stones, where from 1997 onward, Blondie became an invaluable collaborator - touring, recording, and contributing acoustic guitar, percussion, and backing vocals for around ten years. He reflects on what it was like stepping into that legendary circle. It was one of those interviews that reminds you: some musicians don't just witness rock history - they help write it.
