'n Nuwe boek beskryf hoe georganiseerde misdaad in magsposisies ingesypel het. Gefrustreerde partye in die RNE sê die president het vyf maande gelede met hulle vergader. Die PA-leier, Gayton McKenzie, draai die president se arm oor Kenny Kunene se posisie in die Johannesburg-metro.
ActionSA in Gauteng is calling on residents to boycott the Patriotic Alliance in next year's elections if Kenny Kunene is reinstated as Johannesburg's MMC of Transport. Kunene stepped down as MMC and councillor in July after being found at the home of murder accused Katiso Molefe during a police raid. He was also suspended from PA activities. Last week, PA leader Gayton McKenzie announced that a law firm had cleared Kunene of any wrongdoing. McKenzie has threatened to withdraw the PA from the Government of National Unity and all municipal coalitions by tomorrow if Joburg Mayor Dada Morero does not reinstate Kunene. Kunene was re-sworn in as a Johannesburg city councillor last week. For more on this we joined by ActionSA Joburg Regional Secretary, Lebo Mokoka
Lester Kiewit speaks to author and political commentator, Dr Ebrahim Harvey, about Sport, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie demanding his pal Kenny Kunene be reinstated to the Joburg mayoral committee.

Proponents of the Government of National Unity are hoping to see it complete its full term, but cracks are again beginning to show in the ten-party pact. The Patriotic Alliance is threatening to pull out of the GNU, and is even prepared to lose its ministerial position, if its Deputy president Kenny Kunene is not reinstated in his position in the City of Johannesburg as MMC for Transport. The party has cleared Kunene of wrongdoing after he was found at the Sandton house of murder-accused Katiso KT Molefe, at the time of his arrest. PA leader Gayton McKenzie has even vowed to work with the DA if the party's marriage with the ANC doesn't work out. Ntlantla Kgatlhane has more

SAHRC Investigates Minister Gayton McKenzie Over Racist Social Media Posts by Radio Islam
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”.
Bongani speaks to Dr Ntsikelelo Breakfast, Political Analyst, about a whirlwind week in South African politics that felt more like a drama series but with consequences that shape the nation’s future.New research suggests the ANC may retain control of only Limpopo and the Eastern Cape by 2029, with Mpumalanga and the Free State potentially slipping into coalition territory. Malusi Gigaba says this week’s national dialogue should’ve been delayed to avoid becoming another “talk shop,” pointing to the country’s struggle with translating talk into tangible action. Meanwhile, Trade Minister Parks Tau promises a revised trade offer to the US, with hopes pinned on meaningful economic impact. And in a defiant moment, Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie refuses to apologise for past racist posts, even if President Ramaphosa himself were to ask. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

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.

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.”
