Die Patriotic Alliance het 'n strafregtelike klagte ingedien teen die aanbieders van Open Chat Podcast, Mthokozisi Methula en Sinothando Kama. Hulle het beledigende aanmerkings oor die bruin gemeenskap gemaak wat in 'n episode op sosiale media verskyn het en wyd versprei is. Die aanbieders het intussen om verskoning gevra vir die opmerkings en die bespreking uit die episode gehaal. Die leier van die PA, Gayton McKenzie, sê hulle gaan die twee ook na die Gelykheidshof neem vir onwettige diskriminasie:

In this BizNews Briefing, Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi reshuffles his top team after R1.3bn goes unspent - but critics slam it as window-dressing. Johannesburg scrambles to account for R22bn in irregular spending ahead of November's G20 summit. Diplomatic tensions rise with the US, and political analyst Phapano Phasha blasts Gayton McKenzie's leadership. Plus, Uber's earnings surprise and Trump eyes a new Fed Chair.

The Patriotic Alliance says it has laid criminal charges against Open Chats Podcast hosts; Mthokozisi Methula and Sinothando Kama, following their racist remarks aimed at the Coloured community. The podcast came under fire after a deleted clip resurfaced and went viral, where one of the hosts claimed that Coloured families are involved in incest, while another described the community are "crazy." PA President, Gayton McKenzie has lambasted the conduct of the podcasters

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.”

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.”

Clement Manyathela speaks to Steve Motale, who is the spokesperson of the Patriotic Alliance to better understand the suspension of Kenny Kunene by the party’s leader Gayton McKenzie after Kunene was found at the home of a murder suspect.

The Patriotic Alliance has confirmed the suspension of its deputy president and Johannesburg Transport MMC, Kenny Kunene, amid a storm of controversy. PA leader Gayton McKenzie has announced that Kunene must step aside for a month while lawyers investigate him.

In a bold keynote address at BNC#7 in Hermanus, South Africa's Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, delivered eye-opening predictions about the political landscape leading up to the next elections - providing detailed analyses on the EFF, DA and ANC. McKenzie highlighted the importance of the Government of National Unity to South Africa, and how the coalition is keeping the EFF, MK and particularly "the most popular man in South Africa", Jacob Zuma, out of power. McKenzie shared behind-the-scenes insights into the dealings of the GNU, in particular, working with the DA and ANC. He also unpacked details surrounding the recently announced budget and closed off with some of his achievements so far as a Minister. After his keynote address, Minister Gayton McKenzie joined BizNews founder Alec Hogg for a no-holds-barred Q&A session where he doubled down on his stance against illegal immigration, calling it the "biggest issue facing South Africa" and warned businesses to stop employing undocumented foreigners. He also defended the Government of National Unity (GNU), emphasizing its necessity in countering the rise of Jacob Zuma's MK party. Reflecting on his tenure as Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture, McKenzie highlighted his push for reforms in sports funding and infrastructure while confirming ambitious plans, including a bid for the 2036 Olympics and bringing Formula 1 back to South Africa. His candid remarks, including unexpected praise for political rival Helen Zille, underscored his belief that pragmatic leadership—rather than party loyalty—is key to South Africa's future.

In the latest Sunday Show with BizNews, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), rages about “the ultimate embarrassment and shame” of South Africa's Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool getting expelled from the United States for race-baiting. “… this is while he's sitting in the USA, where he is, no doubt, one of the few people that…needs to calm this American fire that's burning…Well, he just blew it.” De Beer also dissects the speeches of some of the top speakers at the past week's BizNews Conference: He slams Deputy President Paul Mashatile for speaking about fighting corruption with dockets hanging over his own head. “When you speak in that manner, you have to have credibility…Heaven forbid he does become the Number One.” De Beer has rare praise for Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie as “one of the loudest flag-wavers” of the Government of National Unity (GNU). “I'll tell you after again seeing him, his speech and his enlightenment of the crowd, I might start to like Gayton McKenzie.” De Beer hails the Democratic Alliance's (DA's) Helen Zille for delivering the payload with her opening address in which she spoke about the challenges of being in the GNU. “But…she echoed many a sentiment: this is the only option that we have.” De Beer also shares his theory that the State's increased “focus” on certain outspoken personalities could have led to billionaire Rob Hersov not coming out “firebrand, accusational and lightning” in his speech as usual. “He nearly became a diplomat…Anti-ANC as always, pro-GNU, but very calm. Maybe a once-in-a-lifetime delivery.”

The General Industries Workers Union of South Africa (GIWUSA) has condemned Minister Gayton McKenzie's alleged xenophobic comments in Parliament, which targeted foreign nationals. McKenzie sparked outrage after advocating to ban foreign nationals from accessing public hospitals in the country. Giwusa is now calling for his removal and prosecution for hate speech. To delve deeper into GIWUSA's stance, Elvis Presslin spoke to the union's President, Mametlwe Sebei

McKenzie stresses that the GNU is “sacrosanct” to the future of South Africa - and says: “If this GNU fails, I am leaving this country.” He also speaks about his meeting with AfriForum, saying: “What we managed to agree on is one thing: that there's no white genocide”. However, he says the African National Congress (ANC) was “very clumsy” in its handling of the Expropriation with Compensation Bill - and the GNU now has to craft new foreign policy. As for the next national elections, McKenzie warns: “Zuma is the threat for the GNU in 2029….You will see President Zuma in 2029 if the GNU doesn't stop him."

Die leier van die Patriotic Alliance, Gayton McKenzie vra wraak teen die M23-rebelle wat verantwoordelik is vir die dood van 14 soldate van die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag in die Demokratiese Republiek die Kongo.

At the end of a dramatic election year, Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie gives BizNews an insider's view of the Government of National Unity (GNU) and its future - and reminds viewers of what an alternative government with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and MKP would be like right now. He speaks candidly about his relationships with some of the country's top leaders and politicians, including President Cyril Ramaphosa, Democratic Alliance (DA) Federal Chair Helen Zille, and African National Congress (ANC) Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi. His mantra is one of “country first, party second”, but he is hugely proud of his Patriotic Alliance (PA) being the fastest growing party with three by-election wins in a row. The Minister also shares his plans for bringing some of the world's top sporting events to South Africa. Lastly, the former prisoner - who has been voted the third most popular politician in the country and whose army of supporters on social media wants to see him as South Africa's next president - leaves the nation with a deeply inspirational message for the festive season.

The Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture - and Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader - Gayton McKenzie has made an impassioned plea for an end to the bickering and infighting in the Government of National Unity (GNU). In this interview with BizNews he describes the current discord in the GNU as a “gift” to former President Jacob Zuma and his MKP. “If they are not careful, Zuma is going to become the biggest party - and the GNU is the only thing that can stop Zuma, not the ANC, the GNU…” The Minister also takes BizNews viewers behind the scenes of the rugby equity deal talks; gives an update on the challenges and triumphs in his ministry; reveals details of his plans to put South Africa back on the world stage; and talks about his desire for social cohesion. “My biggest job as Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture is to make sure that we are one nation under God. We don't have this black, white, Indian, Coloured…We need to move away from that. We are South Africans…And if we can all think along the lines to say: put the country first before you put the party first.”

In this week's episode of the Sunday Show, United Independent Movement (UIM) President Neil de Beer talks about the possibility of the African National Congress (ANC) regaining a majority in 2028 by taking credit for the good work being done in the Government of National Unity (GNU) by ministers, mostly of other parties. However, he also warns the ANC that it risks a “palace revolution” unless it deals with the corruption in its ranks. He referees the latest spat between Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen and President Cyril Ramaphosa who now has Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie jumping to his defence. De Beer talks about the high profile defections of people with “sensitive information” to the MK Party of former President Jacob Zuma, as well as the arrest of his benefactor, the diamond dealer Louis Liebenberg. And he describes the “dismantling” of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) as “the once rising revolutionary replacement of the ANC to something that will just be folding directly into the MK”.

In this episode of NewsWrap, Frans Cronje provides insights into the ANC, GNU and Gauteng; Warren Wheatley unpacks a controversial $75 million private equity deal involving the Springboks; BizNews reporter Asime Nyide gives the latest on the BHI Ponzi scheme; Cedric Soule, the Global Legal Counsel for Turkcell, gives an update on the Turkish telecoms company's ongoing legal battle with MTN; Bloomberg covers Kamala Harris's fiery Fox News interview and Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture Gayton McKenzie shares a wholesome, personal update.

An organisation being torn apart from the inside – what the conflict between two ANC heavyweights reveals about the party. Then, another fail for former Public Protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane. Later, the US hurricanes serve as a sobering preview of things to come. And a Minister on a mission – Gayton McKenzie delivers on his promises. But first, now that the City of Tshwane has a new mayor at the helm, two coalition role players are pulling in two very different directions. On the one hand, we have the DA making demands – give us back our mayor, or else. And on the other, the EFF is showing us its mature side and calling for stability.
