Africa Melane speaks to Associate Professor Piet Croucamp from North-West University about a controversial and emotional issue making global headlines. Following Donald Trump’s executive order offering refugee status to “ethnic minority Afrikaners,” thousands of white South Africans are reportedly lining up to leave — citing violent crime, economic decline, and racial discrimination. But is this really a mass exodus or a fringe movement fuelled by fear?

John Maytham is joined by Dr Gumani Tshimomola, Senior Researcher for the Economic Freedom Fighters, to unpack the legal and political reality behind South Africa’s upcoming VAT hike. Dr Tshimomola argues the 0.5 percent increase set for 1 May 2025 is already law and cannot be reversed by coalition promises or press statements. He explains the constitutional rules around money bills and criticises the Government of National Unity for creating public confusion. They also explore what this means for struggling households and the future of South Africa’s fiscal accountability.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The uMkhonto we Sizwe Party has snatched from the African National Congress, ward 28 in KwaDukuza, in KwaZulu-Natal's iLembe District Municipality. The ward became vacant when Vishnugopal Govender resigned as ANC ward councilor, and contested the by-election as an MK Party candidate. He received 62 per cent of the votes. Candidates from the ANC, Inkatha Freedom Party, Economic Freedom Fighters and the MK Party contested the ward. For a look at what this means, Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC Senior Researcher, Maswele Ralebone.

Afrikaner lobby group AfriForum has criticised South African judges for ruling that the "Kill the Boer" chant is not hate speech, accusing them of being ideologically biased. This after the apex court THIS WEEK refused AfriForum's bid for leave to appeal the "Kill the boer" judgment, which found that the chant did not constitute Hate Speech and dismissed the application saying it bears no reasonable prospects of success. In August, 2022 – the Equality Court ruled in favour of the Economic Freedom Fighters, stating that the song did not constitute Hate Speech. The "Kill the boer, Kill the farmer" chant, which EFF leader Julius Malema continues to sing, was used by Elon Musk to justify US accusations that South Africa is allegedly violating the human rights of some groups in the country. The opposition DA has also weighed in the debate saying the chant has no place in SA society, regardless of any legal ruling on its constitutionality. To weigh in on the matter Bongiwe Zwane spoke to political analyst, Sandile Swana.

With their elective conference set to take place in December, what does the future look like for the EFF? Lester Kiewit speaks to political analyst and author, Dr Ebrahim Harvey.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fana Mokoena. renowned actor turned politician has resigned as a Member of Parliament of the Economic Freedom Fighters and the Central Command Team of the Economic Freedom Fighters. Mokoena's resignation comes hot on the heel of the resignation by former Public Protecor and EFF MP Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane earlier this week. To delve more into these resignations we caught up with Political Analyst, Kenneth Mogathle

The former Public Protector and now former EFF Member of Parliament, Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane, says she will focus on spending more time with her family, following her resignation from the party. In a resignation letter that was addressed to party leader, Julius Malema, Mkhwebane explains how she felt that her rights were violated as soon as she became Public Protector of the country. She further says her removal from office was unconstitutional, adding that her ouster followed her investigation into the so-called CR17 donations and the Phala Phala report. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC politics editor, Mzwandile Mbeje

Economic Freedom Fighters leader, Julius Malema has addressed members of the media from the party's headquarters, Winnie Madikizela Mandela House in Marshalltown, after the party, in coalition with the ANC and ActionSA gained control of the Tshwane metro following the ousting of DA former mayor, Cilliers Brink. Brink was ousted through a motion of no confidence and has since been replaced by ActionSA's, Dr Nasipho Moya.

Out with the old and in with the… uhm, new? Dada Morero takes over as Joburg mayor. Then, the latest unemployment figures highlight the desperate situation so many South Africans find themselves in. Later, a new Human Trafficking report places South Africa at the centre of criminal networks operating across the continent. And does a sperm donor a father make? A recent ruling says: no. But first: Floyd Shivambu – one of the founding members of the Economic Freedom Fighters – defected in dramatic fashion last week, leaving the political party facing an uncertain future. Carte Blanche Website · Chat on X · Chat on Facebook

When Floyd Shivambu announced on Thursday that he was leaving his post as deputy leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters to join the uMkhonto Wesizwe Party, many analysts described the move as the biggest shake-up in the Red Berets' camp since their launch 11 years ago.  Accepting his resignation, EFF leader Julius Malema said Shivambu's departure was 'painful' and 'shoking'. The MKP on their part were quick to welcome the decision saying it could not have come at a better time. Since then speculation has been rife about the real reasons for Shivambu's defection. Many are asking whether the former 2nd in Command was tired of being in the shadow and whether a different Floyd will emerge from his new political base. To discuss this Bongiwe Zwane spoke to  Prof. Bheki Mngomezulu, Director of the Centre for the Advancement of Non-Racialism and Democracy at Nelson Mandela University and Dr Fikile Vilakazi, Political Analyst from the University of the Western Cape 

Johannesburg's MMC for Human Settlements, Mlungisi Mabaso has called for a swift investigation into the death of Economic Freedom Fighters councillor, Moshe Mphahlele.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is in search of partners to build a coalition government. This, after results from the May 29th presidential and provincial elections announced Sunday night showed the ruling African National Congress (ANC) won just 40% of the total votes. According to the Independent Electoral Commission, the main opposition Democratic Alliance party came second with 22%, followed by newly formed uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party with 15% and the Economic Freedom Fighters party with 10%. Now, the ANC, having lost its majority for the first time in 30 years, is searching for partners to form a coalition government. Reporter Darren Taylor in Cape Town tells VOA's James Butty, the choices available to President Ramaphosa are all challenging

Two more days before South Africa's May 29th elections. The parties, including the ruling African National Congress (ANC), held their final campaign rallies over the weekend. President Cyril Ramaphosa appealed to South Africans that if they give the ANC another chance, it will do better. Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema said his party will fight corruption and give jobs and land to South Africans. Professor Sipho Seepe , political analyst and former deputy Vice Chancellor for Institutional Support at the University of Zululand, tells VOA's James Butty, it is looking more likely that the last week of campaigning may have moved the ANC's poll numbers upward, but that it is likely that Wednesday's vote will produce a coalition government led by the ANC

The leader of the Economic Freedom Fighthers - Julius Malema says under his leadership, he will ensure that people of Northern Cape benefit from all the minerals that are produced in that province. Malema was addressing his supporters in Postmansburg on Sunday. He says it is unacceptable that people in the Province continue to suffer while there are mines.Tebogo Msimanga filed this report 

South Africa may struggle to make much more progress on resolving the country's longstanding challenges if a coalition government emerges after elections this month, Moody's Investors Service cautioned. "These include stimulating years of sluggish economic growth, curbing chronic power shortages and reducing very high unemployment," said Aurelien Mali, vice president - senior credit officer at Moody's. "The current government has made incremental progress on these issues." Opinion polls suggest the ruling African National Congress could lose its national majority in the May 29 elections for the first time since taking power in 1994. While it's expected to remain the largest party, dropping under 50% of the vote will force it to form a coalition government. "The strength or otherwise of the new administration's mandate - and any concessions to minor parties needed to secure support - could make the already complicated management of fiscal, economic and social policy objectives even more difficult," Mali said. Gross domestic product growth in Africa's most industrialized economy has averaged 0.8% in the past decade, a rate insufficient to address rampant unemployment and poverty. Growth has been hampered by fraying port and rail networks, crime and state-owned utility Eskom Holdings's inability to meet electricity demand due to poor maintenance and aging power plants. "The election raises the possibility that policies from comparatively radical parties, including policies not friendly to investors, will emerge," Mali said. "Yet we believe the ANC will remain the dominant political force in South Africa, even within a ruling political coalition, which limits the risks of an abrupt shift from the current mix of economic and financial policies." An Ipsos poll released on April 26 showed ANC support at 40.2% compared with the 57.5% it won in the 2019 election. It also suggested the newly formed uMkhonto weSizwe Party backed by former President Jacob Zuma is sucking voters away from the leftist Economic Freedom Fighters. It saw the EFF polling around 11.5%, down from 19.6% in its February survey, while MKP has the support of 8.4% of voters. Moody's sovereign credit rating for South Africa is stable at Ba2.

The African National Congress in Limpopo says it has welcomed over a 1000 Economic Freedom Fighters members who recently joined the ruling party. Former EFF provincial leader, Jossey Buthane, who recently joined the ANC, says their departure from the EFF stems from their discontent with the party's national leadership. Elvis Presslin spoke to Associate Professor of Public Affairs in the Department of Public Management at the Tshwane University of Technology, Professor Ricky Mukonza

“The Seven Economic Pillars of the Economic Freedom Fighters.” That is the title of a report written for the Institute for Race Relations (IRR). In this interview with BizNews, the author of that report, Ivo Vegter, says he did the report because he was concerned about the one-dimensional analysis that one often gets of the EFF, and decided to analyse in detail why EFF policies are either bad policies or why they are good ideals, but won't work. Vegter dissects the achievability - and the consequences - of expropriation of land without compensation; nationalisation; building state and government capacity; free education, healthcare, housing and sanitation; massive protected industrial development; massive development of the African economy; and an open, accountable and corrupt-free government.

In South Africa, the leader of the opposition Economic Freedom Fighters says his party will stop plans to do away with seven coal-fired power stations. According to the South Africa Daily Guardian, Julius Malema made the comment Saturday while launching his party's manifesto. He said decommissioning power plants goes against the needs of South Africans. The Guardian says shutting down coal power stations is part of the country's plan to move away from fossil fuels. Professor Sipho Seepe, a political analyst and former Deputy Vice Chancellor for Institutional Support at the University of Zululand, tells VOA's James Butty, Malema is right because the issue of load-shedding – or power outages -- is not a technical matter but a political one.

As South Africa prepares for the 2024 national and provincial elections, there is widespread speculation about the ruling ANC's prospects for remaining in power. If the ANC fails to maintain its majority, there is speculation about which parties it might consider forming a coalition with. Former ANC Member of Parliament, South African Ambassador to Ireland, and current columnist and political analyst, Melanie Verwoerd, reveals that there is growing talk within the ANC about the possibility of seeking a coalition with the Democratic Alliance and the Inkatha Freedom Party. Verwoerd told BizNews the ANC National Executive is, despite the fear-mongering of the DA, not interested in a coalition with the Economic Freedom Fighters. Julius Malema, she says, “is the guy whose party storms onto the stage while the president is talking in parliament. They don't like that kind of chaos and disruption.” Verwoerd said coalitions after 2024 need not be formal, they could be formed to pass money bills. She also commented on a possible IFP Presidency which she said would be “chaos.” According to Verwoerd, South Africans remain remarkably loyal to the ANC, despite their anger. Many continue to vote for the ANC due to the lack of viable alternatives. She stated that if the ANC continues to win, it would serve as a strong indictment against opposition parties.

America is allegedly facing a housing crisis, and corporate news outlets claim the solution is to end zoning laws on single-family homes. But other data suggests otherwise. Behind the shortages are global agendas, financial interests, and campaigns to remake society. In other news, special counsel Jack Smith is being asked for answers by a federal judge in Florida overseeing the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump. Mr. Smith is being accused of using a grand jury in Washington to bring charges against President Trump in different states. We speak with Julie Kelly, senior contributor to American Greatness and author of “January 6: How Democrats Used the Capitol Protest to Launch a War on Terror Against the Political Right.” Also, a far-left political party in South Africa went viral recently for chanting a song to “Kill the Boer.” The group behind the chant is a far-left Marxist political party known as the Economic Freedom Fighters. They were criticized for calling for genocide. The New York Times and other establishment media then defended the Marxists, claiming the song has other meanings. So what's really happening? We have with us Chris van Heerden, a South African professional boxer and former IBO welterweight champion, whose father was killed in the movement against the Boers. ⭕️

A new world is rising and South Africa is at the forefront of it!      Highlights:  “To make matters even more complicated, you've got the ever-repulsive legacy media accusing any criticism or concern whatsoever about the South African government expropriating farmland from the white farm owners as itself an expression of far-right conspiracy theorist racism!

For young people lucky enough to go into higher education, long hours of study are put in with the anticipation of a better job and life prospects. But finding work after leaving university isn't guaranteed. In South Africa, graduate unemployment stands at 32%. Julius Malema, leader of the opposition Economic Freedom Fighters, has suggested a stipend for unemployed graduates. And in Namibia, where more than 20% of graduates are out of work, one university is teaching courses to encourage entrepreneurship. So, could these be part of the solution to graduate unemployment?

The African National Congress has dominated South African politics for the last 29 years, but the party of Nelson Mandela is in trouble. A power crisis is doing new damage to an economy already hit by shocking levels of poverty, inequality and corruption. If the ANC is faltering, who stands best placed to offer an alternative? Stephen Sackur speaks to the leader of the radical populist Economic Freedom Fighters, Julius Malema. What will happen to South Africa if he gets even a share of power?

The prosperous and peaceful Western Cape resort town of Hermanus was rocked by violent protests in 2018, led by Gcobani Ndzongana, a political activist who helped to create the Economic Freedom Fighters. His LAND Party has grown in the five years since then, a highlight being the victory in a by-election over the ANC. Ndzongana has had a turbulent time since then, experiencing a home invasion and narrowly missing assassination when the bullet meant for him killed his driver. His determination is unbowed as is apparent in this interview with Hermanus-based investigative journalist and author Chris Steyn, he shares the party's intentions and explains how he sees the 2024 Election panning out.

South African opposition, The Economic Freedom Fighters called for a national shutdown to protest against rolling blackouts and pressure President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign. There were sporadic disruptions, including some road closures, and some stores shut their doors, mainly in the city centers where marches were held.Tsholofelo Diale, analyst with the KFinancial joins to shed more light on what many have called a resounding failure

South Africa's opposition Economic Freedom Fighters call for a shutdown of the economy... we'll hear how it went. Also, as Ramadan approaches, Egyptians despair over the rising cost of food. Plus, music and money from Malawi's artists to help victims of Cyclone Freddy. And how clever is Artificial Intelligence when it comes to knowledge about Africa? Those stories and more in this podcast presented by Audrey Brown.

Donald Ambe is a political activist who hails from Buea in Cameroon. He is a pan-African at heart whose life's mission is the betterment of the lives of Africans across the world. He also mentors several young political aspirants within the student milieu.Donald's drive for activism began during his time as a young student when he discovered his fascination with leadership and student governance. Our conversation centered on African political dynamics and how to sanitize the inefficiency of political leadership in Africa. Donald elaborates on what he calls “the reduction of the African story”, which fuels great misrepresentation of the achievement and identity of the continent.Donald sees the political mandate of the African leader through a timeline spectrum; the leaders of the struggle for independence focused on liberation, but today's leaders must be concerned about economic prosperity.Donald discusses his affiliation with the Julius Malema-led Economic Freedom Fighters. He highlights the need for the EFF's unique approach of a blend between radicalism and civility as an important tool for keeping African leaders on their toes and consistently accountable to the people.Donald agrees with the importance of a homogenized African currency, however, he has concerns about the relationships with colonial masters and the need for African states such as the francophone countries to disentangle themselves from colonial influence and to chart a path towards holistic liberation. Donald believes that the increased competition between global superpowers presents Africa with a unique opportunity to develop and to grow stronger through strategic positioning and negotiations.The conversation draws to a close as we engage Donald's work with training young African leaders. He identifies apathy as the first hurdle young people need to cross to contribute effectively to the development of the continent. He believes the involvement of the youth as the active and energetic workforce of the continent through constant messaging is the key to Africa taking its place as a behemoth within the global political and economic space.We end on Donald's optimistic view of the future of Africa. He believes that with consistent and intentional efforts, Africa would be able to realize its full potential. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Pour les marques anglo-saxonnes, le dilemme était énorme.Et forcément, forcément, certaines marques l'ont appris à leur dépend : le news jacking a ses limites.Surtout lorsqu'il s'agit de la reine d'Angleterre.Le Groupe Thomas Cook, s'est par exemple pris les pieds dans le tapis avec un tweet hommage : "Voyagez en toute sécurité, madame ».La marque Playmobil a aussi tenté un post hommage avec une figure ressemblant à la reine et un message « efficace » : rest in peaceLes commentaires ont été sévères : "Pas classe", « sur-réaliste, "zéro respect"—Un changement dans l'histoire qui réveille aussi de vieilles blessuresUn sombre rappel au Bloody Sunday et à l'Irlande du NordDans un tweet on voyait supporters Irlandais ont entonné une petite chanson pour fêter l'évènement en souvenir des années noiresBien des époques traversées, et des pays colonisésDes # sont devenus viraux en soutien aux irlandais mais aussi aux peuples colonisés #IrishTwitter, #BlackTwitter #IndianTwitter rappelant les années plus difficiles au cours de laquelle la Reine a participé à la colonisation.Le parti sud-africain Economic Freedom Fighters* »Nous ne pleurons pas le décès d'Elizabeth, car pour nous, sa mort est un rappel d'une période tragique pour le pays et l'histoire de l'Afrique »*Avec les décès de la Reine, les réseaux sociaux laisse aussi entendre la voix des opposants à la MonarchieIl y a eu de nombreux appels sur les réseaux sociaux pour l'abolition de la monarchie. #NotMyKing et #AbolishTheMonarchy sont même rentré en tendance.—La devise de la Reine, un bon exemple pour les marquesLa Reine avait une devise : « Never complain, never explain. »Ne jamais se plaindre. Ne jamais se justifier.Un mantra qui devrait résonner chez les marqueteurs qui ont été amené un jour à gérer une situation de crise.——Il ne faut jamais se plaindre de quoi que ce soit, parce que, celui à qui l'on fait part de ses tracas trouve souvent le moyen de vous expliquer que ses ennuis sont bien pires que les nôtres.Et ne jamais expliquer (ou se justifier), car il s'agit d'une marque de faiblesse. Vos amis n'en ont pas besoin, et vos ennemis ne vous croirons pas de toute façon.———Le Super Daily est le podcast quotidien sur les réseaux sociaux.

Stephen Sackur speaks to South Africa's controversial populist politician Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters. Allegations of political corruption, power cuts and mass unemployment are pushing South Africa to the brink of chaos. Could one of Africa's richest nations be consumed by insurrectionist violence?

We often bitch and moan about the state of our politics. Justifiably so. There are glaring weaknesses in all of our main political parties- from the governing African National Congress to the two biggest opposition parties, Democratic Alliance and Economic Freedom Fighters.Many smaller parties emerged in recent years, some doing well during the recent local government elections, but even they come with downsides such as populism and xenophobic sloganeering from their leaders. This raises an obvious and very urgent set of questions: what's the alternative to our main political parties? Can we change the political landscape as civil society? Are there alternative pathways to a more just South Africa beyond formal party politics? Can we and should we reduce the power of politicians?I invited Mandla Isaacs to work through these issues with me. He is a political economist, public policy analyst and a Mason Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Enjoy this latest episode of In The Ring and remember to subscribe to the podcast.

Despite being bored by the desperate hate speech case brought by Afriforum against Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema, for the apparent singing of the allegedly hate speech-filled anti-apartheid chant, Kill the Boer, so many of you asked me for my opinion that I've reluctantly done so in this short episode. There are three lessons here for racists that Malema freely provided. I discuss them. Simply click and enjoy this latest episode of In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast before leaving!

The Economic Freedom Fighters sold itself as THE pro-poor political party, a perfect alternative to a morally bankrupt ANC-led government that is also endemically corrupt. But how desirable is the EFF as an alternative to the ANC and to the Democratic Alliance?In light of the corruption allegations the party's top leadership, and the party itself, have been facing, I step back from the evidence- discussed in the previous episode, episod  28, of In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser with journalist Pauli Van Wyk- and offer a pointed political perspective here, in this very short episode, about how we should now view the EFF.Is the EFF who they say they are?
