Die DA sê spesialis-skole in Gauteng, wat onderrig moet gee in hoëtegnologie-vakke soos lugvaart en kernwetenskap, is nie aan die internet gekoppel nie. Die LUR vir Onderwys, Matome Chiloane, het bevestig nie een van die skole is gekoppel aan die provinsiale breëbandnetwerk nie. Die DA-lid, Michael Waters, sê dit is 'n krisis, veral met die skole wat begrotingsbesnoeiings van 82-persent in die gesig staar. Waters het die regering aangespoor om hande te vat met die privaat sektor om skole aanlyn te kry:
Suid-Afrika se bevolking is halfpad deur die jaar op 63-miljoen met net meer as 51-persent wat vroue is. Gauteng bly die provinsie met die grootste bevolkte met meer as 16-miljoen inwoners, gevolg deur KwaZulu-Natal met 12-miljoen, terwyl daar een-miljoen mense in die Noord-Kaap is. Gauteng en die Wes-Kaap is die voorkeur bestemmings vir interne migrasie. Diego Iturralde van Statistieke Suid-Afrika sê hoewel meer as 8 miljoen Suid-Afrikaners met MIV/Vigs leef, daal die verwante sterftes as gevolg van wyer toegang tot behandeling:
It started with just one post someone sharing how they’d moved back to Joburg after trying to start a new life in Cape Town. But what stood out? The flood of comments underneath it. Dozens of people saying the same thing: “Same here.” “We’re back too.” “Cape Town was great, but Joburg just works for us.” From soaring living costs to job opportunities being centred in Gauteng again, it seems more and more South Africans are quietly packing up the coastal dream and heading back inland. It’s the unexpected reverse semigration wave — and if the Facebook comments are anything to go by, it’s bigger than we thought. Have you made the move back? Was it emotional? Relieving? Frustrating? Let’s talk about what really brings people home. Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

A political storm brews at Pretoria High School for Girls as headmistress Philippa Erasmus faces questionable misconduct charges after being cleared of racism allegations. DA MPL Sergio Dos Santos claims the school is being unfairly targeted by Gauteng's education department, raising concerns of political vendettas, lack of transparency, and the misuse of new education laws to centralise control.
The Democratic Alliance has raised alarm over the sharp rise in hospital-acquired infections across Gauteng's public hospitals. DA Health Shadow MEC Dr Jack Bloom says over 7,700 patients contracted infections last year, many antibiotic-resistant and life-threatening. Charlotte Maxeke leads with an 11% infection rate one in ten patients. Elvis Presslin spoke to DA Gauteng Shadow MEC of Health, Dr. Jack Bloom
Die DA in Gauteng is bekommerd omdat 7 743 pasiënte verlede jaar hospitaalverworwe besmettings opgedoen het, insluitend talle antibiotika-weerstandige toestande wat moeilik behandelbaar en lewensgevaarlik kan wees. Dié toestand ontwikkel tydens 'n pasiënt se verblyf in 'n hospitaal. Jack Bloom van die DA sê die Gautengse Gesondheidsdepartement skryf die situasie toe aan personeeltekorte, oorbevolking en onvoldoende geriewe vir handhigiëne:
Die landdroshof in Roodepoort, Gauteng, het borgtog geweier aan Tiffany Meek, wat aangekla word van die moord op haar 11-jarige-seun, Jayden-Lee. Landdros Anneline Africa het verwys na sterk omstandigheidsgetuienis, oneerlike optrede en 'n vlugrisiko. Die hof het kennis geneem dat Meek Jayden-Lee as vermis aangegee het terwyl sy geweet het dat hy in hulle woonstel was en later sy liggaam verskuif het. Die landdros het beslis dat haar vrylating openbare vertroue en vrede sal ondermyn:

The Patriotic Alliance (PA) scored a shock win last night over the Democratic Alliance (DA) in a Paarl in a ward where it got 43% of the vote after getting only 1% there in 2021. Elections analyst Wayne Sussman tells BizNews: “…this means that Gayton McKenzie and the Patriotic Alliance are edging closer and closer to the City of Cape Town. If they can win seats off the DA in the DA stronghold of Mossel Bay, in places like Amstelhof Paarl, what can they do to the Democratic Alliance in the City of Cape Town? So, I would sense that there's great concern for the DA at DA headquarters today.” The PA win came despite the suspension of PA Deputy President Kenny Kunene after he was found at the Sandton home of a murder suspect. Sussman says: “ I think that this will have no impact on the PA in the Western Cape or the Northern Cape or the Eastern Cape. However, in Gauteng, this could present a challenge… …to the PA amongst its Black voters.” In other by-election results, Sussman comments on the African National Congress (ANC) seeing its vote share fall to 37% in a ward in the traditional stronghold of Sebokeng. “So this is major turbulence, major upheaval in a core Gauteng township. And I believe that this basically could be a harbinger of things to come in the next local government elections.”

The Democratic Alliance in Gauteng will lay criminal charges today against former Head of the Gauteng Department of Transport, Ronald Swartz. DA Shadow MEC Evert Du Plessis says Swartz, who served from 2013 to 2019, oversaw significant financial mismanagement.

None of the lost funds have been recovered. Elvis Presslin spoke to DA Shadow MEC for Roads and Transport, Evert Du Plessis

Bongani Bingwa speaks to The Money Show presenter Stephen Grootes about a long-awaited move at the heart of South Africa’s justice system. President Cyril Ramaphosa has suspended South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions, Andrew Chauke, after years of mounting pressure and serious allegations of misconduct. In 2023, journalist Karyn Maughan reported that Chauke was finally under scrutiny after more than a decade of concern, particularly for his alleged mishandling of high-profile corruption cases. Almost two years ago, National Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi wrote to the president, formally requesting an inquiry into his fitness to hold office. So, why has it taken so long for action to be taken? And what exactly is Chauke being investigated for? Stephen Grootes breaks it down and explores what this means for the NPA’s credibility and the broader fight against corruption. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In conversation with Aaron Mupeti In this episode of Africa Rights Talk, LLM in Human Rights & Democratisation in Africa (HRDA) students at the Expression, Information and Digital Rights (EIDR) clinic, Joshua Duku and Sayid engage with human rights lawyer and disability rights advocate Aaron Mupeti to unpack the challenges and possibilities for disability inclusion in South Africa. Mupeti, a quadriplegic and practicing attorney, draws from his lived experience and professional expertise to explore the meaning of true inclusion, emphasizing the need for people with disabilities to be actively involved in all aspects of society, from policy design to education and employment. He highlights the enduring infrastructural and systemic barriers faced by persons with disabilities, particularly in rural areas, and calls for a shift in societal mindset, from viewing disability through a charitable lens to embracing it as a fundamental human rights issue. The conversation delves into the shortcomings of current policies, particularly the lack of funding, monitoring, and meaningful implementation. Mupeti critiques tokenistic employment schemes and stresses the importance of mainstreaming disability rights in legal education and public discourse. Cultural stigma, inadequate infrastructure, and weak institutional commitment continue to reproduce exclusion, he notes. Yet, he remains hopeful, outlining practical, low-cost steps such as awareness campaigns, better audits, and disability dialogues as vital starting points. Ultimately, the episode is a powerful call to action for a more inclusive, accessible, and equitable society that recognizes disability not as limitation, but as an alternative way of living. Aaron T Mupeti is a distinguished South African attorney, disability consultant, disability rights advocate, and thought leader in public policy and human rights. Based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, he serves as the Senior Managing Director at Mupeti Attorneys and the Director of Policy and Research at the Africa Disability Initiative on Reproductive Rights (ADIRR).

Die Randburgse Landdroshof in Gauteng het borgtog van 10 000 Suid-Afrikaanse rand elk toegestaan aan 12 lede van die Weermag se Spesiale Magte wat teregstaan vir die moord op 'n ondersoeker van die Valke, Frans Mathipa. Die hoof-ondersoeker in misdade teen die staat is in Augustus 2023 op die N1 naby die Hammanskraal-tolplaza vermoor terwyl hy 'n ontvoering ondersoek het. Die saak is tot Donderdag uitgestel terwyl die ondersoek voortduur. Phindi Mjonondwane van die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag sê die borgtog-beslissing is teleurstellend:
In his latest interview with BizNews, Elections Analyst Wayne Sussman explains why KZN Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi's Press Conference was “absolutely devastating”. He says the General's claims “go to the heart of the challenge of the ANC, that President Ramaphosa was going to reform the ANC and course correct after the devastating years of Jacob Zuma leading the ANC”. Intead, “here you have one of his trusted lieutenants, one of his right-hand men, one of the people in the party he's extremely close to, being fingered with the most damning of evidence with ties to the underworld”. He notes that the implicated Police Minister Senzo Mchunu was going to play “a key role in the next election for the ANC to recover all that lost support in KwaZulu-Natal”. Sussman also laments the assassination of African National Congress (ANC) councillor Thabang Masemola in Ward 10 in Mamelodi, saying that “this is becoming too common a feature of Gauteng politics”. Dissecting the latest by-election results, Sussman says the “the DA will say that they are on track on the road to Tshwane, which will be a battleground metro in 2026; uMkhonto weSizwe make inroads in ANC heartland, in Xhosa-speaking heartland; the Freedom Front will say…that they have some hope in the Free State”. He also gives a preview of upcoming elections that could be “really narrative forming on the road to the 2026 local government elections”.
ActionSA se vroueforum in Gauteng sê geslagsgeweld is ʼn nasionale krisis wat dringende, gekoördineerde en streng optrede vereis. Die party veroordeel die grusame moord op Letta Ndlovu, ʼn inwoner van Lawley in Johannesburg-Suid. Haar lewensmaat, Ayanda Mthimkhulu, het haar in ʼn voorval van geslagsgeweld vermoor. Die vroueforum se sekretaris, Mpumi Edward, sê Ndlovu se dood moenie net nog ʼn statistiek word nie:
In his latest interview with BizNews, US intelligence analyst, retired Colonel Chris Wyatt, dissects the latest visit by yet another Afrikaner delegation to the White House; reveals that more Afrikaner refugees have arrived in the US in recent days, but warns that people's expectations of this programme are “wildly unrealistic”. He also gives the backstory to US President Donald Trump threatening to pull subsidies to billionaire Elon Musk companies. On the military front he has high praise for the US strikes on Iran, but a scathing verdict on the state of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). “And this is a consequence of racist policies and underfunding. The two have played a major role in destroying the South African National Defense Force. And it's embarrassing, but the South African National Defense Force couldn't defeat Namibia right now, might even not be able to beat Lesotho or Eswatini.” He further warns that South Africa had “a dress rehearsal at a coup d'etat” in July of 2021 in KwaZulu-Natal and in parts of Gauteng - and says: “And I think there are elements inside the government that are disloyal to the government of South Africa. And we saw that play out in July 2021. And they're still there. No one has removed these people. And if the proverbial cow dung hits the fan, I think we'll see where people's true loyalties lie, which might frighten a lot of South Africans.”
Bongani Bingwa speaks to Wayne Duvenage, CEO of the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA), to unpack the renewed controversy around Gauteng’s E-toll legacy, a saga that refuses to fade quietly. Years after motorists were promised relief, the billion-rand bill is back on the table and citizens are once again asking: Where is the money coming from, and who is being held accountable?With limited communication from government and no clear funding plan in sight, concerns grow over financial mismanagement, public trust, and a system that has burdened taxpayers for over a decade. OUTA warns that without real transparency, South Africans may continue to pay for a policy failure few ever supported in the first place.

Die regering sê die aankoms van entstof om die hardnekkige bek-en-klouseersiekte te bestry sal help teen die verspreiding van die siekte en biosekuriteit verbeter.

Die Kabinet sê hy het vinnig opgetree teen 'n nuwe uitbreking van bek-en-klouseer, met inperkingsmaatreëls wat reeds in plek is. Die Departement van Landbou het meer as 900 000 dosisse entstof bestel, met die eerste besending wat binnekort verwag word.

Die polisie in Gauteng het die afgelope week drie verdagtes op die OR Tambo Internasionale Lughawe vasgetrek vir dwelmsmokkelary. 'n Polisiewoordvoerder, Amanda van Wyk, sê 'n Nigeriese burger is met sy aankoms uit São Paolo in Brasilië op pad na Nigerië in hegtenis geneem. Sy sê hulle het ook 'n burger van Brasilië uit São Paulo aangekeer wat meer as 100 kokaïengevulde kapsules ingesluk het.

Die DA sê misdaadvoorkoming in Gauteng word belemmer weens die tekort aan werktuigkundiges by polisie-werkswinkels. Die premier Panyaza Lesufi het vroeër bevestig daar is 110 vakante poste vir werktuigkundiges wat lang vertragings met die herstel van polisievoertuie veroorsaak. Crezane Bosch van die DA waarsku stukkende voertuie wag reeds tot 'n jaar lank in werkswinkels, wat gemeenskappe in gevaar stel:
