The EFF is set to launch its election manifesto for the upcoming local government elections in Thohoyandou in Limpopo today, also marking the party's 13th anniversary. The party will be address by its leader, Julius Malela who is also expected to announce mayoral candidates for key and strategic municipalities and metros. Johannesburg is expected to be the most hotly contested metro, with the DA's Helen Zille and ActionSA's Herman Mashaba leading their party's campaigns. Earlier we caught up with EFF spokesperson, Thembi Msane and our reporter in Thohoyandou, Busi Bopela...

In today's BizNews Daybreak, Helen Zille warns Johannesburg faces its final chance to reverse municipal collapse. Heindrich Wyngaard explains why military presence alone cannot dismantle the Cape Flats' deep-rooted gang economy. Lance Dickson introduces "Ryze," a platform channeling public rage into organized civic action. Finally, Sean Peche cautions investors against rampant speculation within the current AI boom. Plus, overnight global updates on US tariffs, Intel, and SpaceX.

In today's BizNews Daybreak, we cover overnight tech earnings with mixed results from Alphabet, Tesla, IBM, and Texas Instruments. Economist Dr. Iraj Abedian weighs in on the global fallout of the Middle East conflict, while SA engineer Peli Collins discusses his new space startup, Beyond Reach Labs. Meanwhile, OpenAI admits its AI model inadvertently hacked Hugging Face, raising serious cyber concerns, and Helen Zille addresses the Joburg mayoral race, giving her take on Herman Mashaba.

Helen Zille has swapped the Iron Lady tag for "DJ Gogo", but the numbers she puts on the table are dead serious. In this conversation with Alec Hogg, she says Johannesburg only spent half of an eight billion rand infrastructure budget last year, warns that DA supporters staying home on election day could hand the city to the ANC, and lays out exactly how vote-buying has turned South African coalition politics into what one commentator called "auctions". She also responds directly to the lobbying row involving John Steenhuisen and Tony Leon, explains the real mechanics behind uMngeni's 42-vote nail-biter, and says plainly why she believes this election is Joburg's last chance to turn itself around.

Joburg is bankrupt, and Helen Zille says the city did it to itself. In her director's cut interview, the DA's mayoral candidate explains why half of Johannesburg's infrastructure budget went unspent last year, how "wasted" ward votes are quietly handing the ANC an advantage, and what she really thinks about the Steenhuisen-Tony Leon lobbying row threatening to embarrass her own party. Plus, why the market just punished Alphabet, Tesla and Patrice Motsepe's ARM for spending big, while rewarding the cash hoarders at Mr Price. Ranmore's Sean Peche explains why he wouldn't touch Tesla at these numbers.

Today's Daily Friend Show Live with Anlu Keeve and Nicholas Lorimer. They discuss and contrast the campaigns of Helen Zille and Dada Morero for control of Joburg. They also talk about protest and what it accomplishes. Lastly they discuss the importance of remembering South Africa's history in full. Website · Facebook · Instagram · Twitter

Frans Cronje delivers a hard-hitting assessment of the Democratic Alliance's internal turmoil, John Steenhuisen's dramatic fall from grace, and what it means for South Africa's political future. He argues the DA's biggest challenge is proving it can govern better than the ANC, warns that voter confidence is slipping, and explains why Helen Zille's Johannesburg ambitions could reshape the country. Cronje also defends Tony Leon, dismisses state capture claims, and outlines why he remains cautiously optimistic about South Africa's future.

ActionSA president Herman Mashaba reveals what Johannesburg's current mayor told him in a private phone call about why the city can't pay its bills. He also breaks down the Cape Town mayoral race, the anti-immigrant protests spreading across South Africa, and why he won't speak to Helen Zille directly. With the November local government elections looming, his answer to one question raises new doubts about who's really steering Johannesburg into the ground.

Author Rian Malan fires off a pointed open letter to Helen Zille on the anti-migrant marches sweeping South Africa, while a former DA leader breaks ranks on his own party just months before the 2026 municipal elections. Also today: oil jumps as Iran moves on the Strait of Hormuz, Tesla rallies on a Full Self-Driving rollout, and a whistleblower pushes for criminal accountability over corporate silencing.

Aubrey Masango speaks to Prof Dirk Kotze, Professor for Political Sciences at UNISA who shares on John Steenhuisen's remarks on some of the leadership changes in the DA, and how he has fallen out of favor with the new leadership.

Rian Malan is the author of My Traitor's Heart — a bestseller translated into 11 languages, still in print decades after publication, and a book that drew praise from V.S. Naipaul, John le Carré and the New York Times as one of the most important works ever written about South Africa. In short, he is the real thing, one of the finest non-fiction writers our country has produced. And for me, easily the greatest living SA writer. Commissioning Malan at rates that reflect his stature is beyond what BizNews can fund from its operating budget. The economics of modern media — collapsing CPMs, platform aggregation, subscription fatigue — make it impossible. But a BizNews community member has changed that. Their donation has seeded a commissioning fund dedicated to sourcing the very best South African writing and research for our readers: work we could not otherwise afford. This is not charity. It is an investment in the journalism South Africa needs — fearless, deeply reported, written with the skill that makes it stick. If this piece moves you, consider joining the fund. Write to me via alec@biznews.com. Not to cover salaries or overheads, but to put more Rian Malans in front of more South Africans. And for the rest of the tribe, enjoy. - Alec Hogg

Nine months into her campaign for Johannesburg mayor, Helen Zille has transformed her public image while positioning herself as the face of a city in need of urgent repair. Through a high-profile campaign focused on failing infrastructure, corruption and service delivery, the DA hopes to become the largest party in Johannesburg after November's local elections. Daily Maverick journalist Ferial Haffajee joins us to unpack the campaign, the political dynamics shaping the race, and whether voters are ready for change in South Africa's biggest metro. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions.

Nestes últimos dias, a África do Sul está a ser abalada por uma nova onda de xenofobia, com grupos de cidadãos sul-africanos a atacarem imigrantes, queimarem as suas casas ou os seus comércios. Independentemente de estarem em situação legal ou não, os estrangeiros são acusados por estes grupos de "roubarem os empregos" dos nacionais, num contexto de grave crise social e económica no país, nomeadamente com uma taxa de desemprego de cerca de 32%. Depois de pelo menos nove moçambicanos terem morrido nas violências xenófobas, várias centenas de moçambicanos residentes no país têm estado a fugir da África do Sul, com algum apoio por parte de Maputo. A Nigéria, o Gana e o Maláui também estão a organizar o regresso a casa dos seus cidadãos expatriados na África do Sul. Uma situação que o executivo sul-africano lamenta mas perante a qual parece algo impotente, senão mesmo "complacente", acusam certos governos africanos mais críticos. A nível interno, em ano de eleições locais, a coligação governamental faz frente a sectores de opinião que tentam ganhar visibilidade a pretexto desta nova crise, considera André Thomashausen, professor emérito de direito internacional e constitucional da Universidade da África do Sul, em Pretória. O universitário refere todavia acreditar que este fenómeno não vai durar, por não ter -do seu ponto de vista- nenhum alicerce popular. RFI: Como é que analisa a situação vigente nestes últimos dias na África do Sul? André Thomashausen: Um aspecto deve ser considerado é o aspecto da política interna da África do Sul, em que o partido da esquerda, da minoria, do antigo presidente Zuma, o partido MK ("Umkhonto we Sizwe", partido "Lança da Nação) está a aproveitar esta onda da xenofobia e está a fomentar, a instigar, esta xenofobia para pressionar a coligação que está a governar, que é o ANC, com o partido da Aliança Democrática. É assim, infelizmente. Muito tragicamente, este assunto não é completamente inocente e possivelmente não teria acontecido este ataque de xenofobia se não tivesse sido instigado. E temos uma tradição disso. Sempre quando uma minoria política decide afastar um governo, de repente aparecem ataques xenófobos. Foi assim na altura em que o Jacob Zuma quis substituir o governo do Thabo Mbeki, em 2007. De repente, houve ataques xenófobos. E foi assim, de volta, no fim da era do Zuma, em que novamente isso estalou. Talvez o único aspecto positivo é que esta crise não vai durar tanto tempo. E penso que os espíritos vão novamente acalmar. RFI: Há cerca de uma semana que isto dura. O que é que o leva a crer que vai haver uma acalmia? André Thomashausen: Bom, existe sempre uma solidariedade entre os mais pobres, entre os mais miseráveis. E as vítimas da xenofobia é gente muito pobre e gente que não tem vida estável, que não tem emprego formal e normalmente existe uma solidariedade africana. Na tradição, nas culturas africanas, muito raramente aparece um ódio entre grupos ou um ódio de raça ou ódio nacionalista. Porque as culturas estão todas interligadas. Eu duvido muito que esta vaga seja uma expressão de um sentimento popular alargado. Na maior parte dos casos que temos visto, há uma mão organizadora, há grupos de choque que aparecem num sítio, aparecem com autocarros a transportá-los. Alguém está a organizar esses transportes e a pagar esses transportes. É um bocado um assunto de segurança pública e de segurança do Estado que está aqui a falhar. E assim vamos esperando que venha a faltar o apoio para esta xenofobia. O verdadeiro apoio popular não existe. É gente alheia que aparece num sítio que não vive lá e de repente atacam os que são estrangeiros, os que falam com um sotaque diferente ou que, pela aparência, não pertencem. Um problema dentro da xenofobia, isolado e diferente, é a imigração ilegal que temos experimentado e que temos visto oriunda da Somália e do Sudão, países bastante afastados. São para aí uns 8 mil quilómetros de distância, daqui para o Sudão e para a Somália. E esta migração, essa sim, está a provocar ódio e está a provocar uma resistência forte entre a população que aqui na África do Sul normalmente não é muçulmana e rejeita a cultura desses migrantes. RFI: No começo da nossa conversa, mencionou que há certos sectores políticos que tiram proveito desta situação. Tem aparecido muito o nome de uma organização, a "March and March". O que é que se poderia dizer sobre esta organização e o interesse que teria também em movimentar a multidão contra os imigrantes? André Thomashausen: Bom, mais uma vez, é um rótulo que aparece subitamente, que não tem antecedentes. Não se podem identificar os líderes, gente desconhecida e, no meu ponto de ver, oportunista. Tal como nos anos 30, na Alemanha, houve uma organização nazi que fomentou o ódio contra os judeus, para assim virem a ser notórios e intimidar, provocar a instabilidade. Eu vejo aqui essas organizações também como sendo organizações um bocado fantoches, que não têm uma base popular, não têm milhares de membros ou aderentes. São completamente transparentes. E mais uma vez, eu estou a ver aqui um oportunismo político trágico de tentar provocar uma dificuldade ao governo por gente que falhou nas eleições, que não conseguiu reunir uma maioria de votos e assim, agora estão a tentar destabilizar o país através desta vaga. RFI: Certos países, nomeadamente a Nigéria ou Gana, que têm alguns dos seus expatriados na África do Sul, acusaram o governo de Pretória de ser algo complacente com esta onda de xenofobia que, no fundo, poderia ser interpretada também como uma forma de camuflar as suas próprias incapacidades em gerir questões como a economia, a educação e a saúde. André Thomashausen: Certo. Só que, na realidade, este governo, esta administração, é uma administração que está a sobreviver mal num contexto de Estado já falhado, em que as forças da ordem, a polícia e e Forças Armadas não têm nem sequer a mínima capacidade. Não há veículos e onde há veículos não há verbas para o combustível. Há um elevado sistema de corrupção na polícia e nas Forças Armadas. As Forças Armadas já foram mobilizadas na Província do Cabo para tentar limitar, tentar reduzir a vaga de assassinatos entre mafiosos, entre bandos, criminosos, traficantes de droga e de pessoas. E assim, eu acho que não é por falta de vontade, mas é por falta de capacidade que o governo está assim passivo. Está assim, num papel de observador em que o Presidente Ramaphosa lamenta muito a xenofobia, mas não tem meios realmente para uma estratégia através da qual poderia prender e imobilizar aqueles que estão a instigar esses ataques aos migrantes e refugiados e, evidentemente, também uma percentagem muito elevada de migrantes ilegais. Mas, na realidade, a economia está a empregar essa gente. E isso também tem a ver com a alta taxa de sindicalização dos trabalhadores sul-africanos, que provocam um nível do preço da mão-de-obra muito elevado. E isso cria uma uma atractividade ao emprego dos estrangeiros que não estão sindicalizados. É tudo uma mistura de situações que deveriam ser reformadas, que deveriam ser consideradas, mas só que este actual governo é um governo de crise e é um governo que não tem a capacidade para reagir. RFI: Estamos em ano de eleições autárquicas. Vão acontecer a 4 de Novembro. Pensa que isto também joga nesta crise? André Thomashausen: Absolutamente. É uma maneira de tentar animar os eleitores, tentar atirar culpas aos migrantes, culpas pela falta de prestação de serviços, pelo facto de que 90% das municipalidades estão tecnicamente falidas e já não têm capacidade para garantir o abastecimento de água potável ou a manutenção dos sistemas de esgotos ou transportes públicos, o sistema escolar primário, o sistema de assistência médica básica e assim, é um bode expiatório, acusar a presença dos estrangeiros. E isso tudo entra nas estratégias. Estas eleições vão decididamente reduzir o apoio ao ANC. Vão demonstrar a queda dramática da confiança neste partido da libertação. Mas é normal que depois de 30 anos da grande transferência, em 1990, o partido libertador, com a sua legitimidade histórica, venha a ser desafiado. RFI: Está a dizer que o ANC poderia perder o leme. Mas para que a formação? André Thomashausen: Vai beneficiar a Aliança Democrática, que é um partido liberal do centro-esquerda, completamente multicultural, que tenta fazer renascer o ideal do Nelson Mandela de uma "Nação arco-íris". Há muitos, muitos eleitores tradicionais do ANC que desta vez vão votar na Aliança Democrática. O partido está a apostar nesta oportunidade. E, aliás, está convencido que com a sua antiga presidente, Helen Zille, vão ganhar as eleições em Joanesburgo, a maior metrópole aqui na África do Sul.

On today's BizNews Daybreak, pressure builds globally as the US and Iran edge toward a tentative 60-day ceasefire. Plus, we bring you the latest market-moving updates on Dell, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Anthropic. In South Africa, the Democratic Alliance (DA) achieved a sensational, historic victory by winning its first-ever pure township ward in Evaton West from the ANC. Meanwhile, analysts debate Helen Zille's 45% coalition strategy in Johannesburg and the DA's principled test regarding the Ramaphosa impeachment inquiry.

In today's BizNews Daybreak, we highlight progress on a US-Iran deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, shifting crude oil prices, a paused US arms sale to Taiwan, and a massive Russian hypersonic missile attack near Kyiv. In South Africa, Lauren Evanthia argues that a true 39% voter turnout in 2024 reflects systemic collapse and a lack of hope, urging an end to party politics. Meanwhile, Helen Zille warns that the DA needs an outright majority to fix Johannesburg, fearing another fragile, multi-party coalition driven by jobs and tenders.

Helen Zille says Johannesburg's crisis is far worse than she imagined, warning the city faces financial collapse, crumbling infrastructure, and coalition chaos. In this wide-ranging interview, she outlines her plan to restore water, electricity, roads, and investor confidence while exposing deep governance failures, corruption, and “last lap looting” inside the metro. Zille argues only a DA majority can deliver stability and prevent Johannesburg from sliding further into dysfunction.

In today's BizNews Daybreak, we cover the latest business and political updates. On the international front, US-Iran tensions escalate over Strait of Hormuz tolls, while SpaceX scrubs its 12th Starship test mission. Locally, Helen Zille warns of Johannesburg's collapsing municipal budget and failing infrastructure, economist Dawie Roodt discusses Treasury's futile attempts to control crypto-assets, and thirsty CEO Rob Hoatson urges businesses to fight state dysfunction. Finally, AfriForum demands transparency regarding the delayed extradition of the Guptas.

Die DA se burgemeesterskandidaat in Johannesburg, Helen Zille, sê die Stad het belangrike munisipale finansiële wette oortree en herhaalde waarskuwings deur die Nasionale Tesourie geïgnoreer. In 'n media-inligtingsessie het Zille gesê 'n brief van die minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, het verskeie oortredings uiteengesit, insluitend die goedkeuring van 'n onbefondsde begroting en die versuim om onreëlmatige en verkwistende besteding te voorkom. Sy waarsku hierdie oortredings kan die stad se finansiële krisis vererger en verdere ingryping deur Tesourie tot gevolg hê:

Business Day parliamentary reporter Tara Roos tells Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge that, while DA leader Helen Zille may secure the most votes in Johannesburg in the upcoming local government elections, she is unlikely to become mayor. Roos, whose new book Where To From Here unpacks South Africa's political landscape in the wake of the 2024 elections, argues that Zille won't win an outright majority and will lack the numbers needed to form a coalition. The ANC, ActionSA and the Freedom Front Plus are all expected to oppose her. Could the Patriotic Alliance step in? Unlikely, says Roos: “The DA's only possible coalition partner is going to be the ANC.” And in Gauteng, that remains a long shot.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, we analyze the dramatic 4% spike in oil prices following an Iranian strike on a Kuwaiti tanker. Helen Zille discusses a "reverse migration" to Johannesburg as residents flee high coastal house prices, while John Endres warns that South Africa's 1.1% GDP growth is merely "limping" due to a massive shortfall in fixed investment. Finally, we examine how China's export controls on rare earth minerals are inflicting pain on the US manufacturing base.

Helen Zille weighs her next move as she considers a return to council politics, balancing campaign momentum with party leadership duties. She unpacks the DA's electoral strategy, coalition risks, and fierce competition from the ANC and rivals. With Johannesburg at a crossroads, she argues bold leadership, voter turnout, and reform are key to turning the city - and South Africa - around.

In today's edition of BizNews Daybreak, Alec Hogg brings you the freshest overnight news and exclusive, fiery highlights directly from the BizNews Conference in Hermanus. In This Episode: BNC Drama Unfolds: ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba pulled no punches on the BNC#8 stage, firing back at Rob Hersov and DA federal chair Helen Zille. He fiercely defended his record as Johannesburg's mayor, addresses the "EFF mayor" allegations, and calls out political corruption. SA Fuel Price Shock: Brace your wallets—South Africans are facing devastating fuel price hikes next week. Next week, petrol is set to soar by an effective R6 per litre (but still R3 below where the global price is), while diesel is heading for a R10 a litre hike, with at least another R5 to come in May. SpaceX's Record-Breaking IPO: Elon Musk's SpaceX is reportedly targeting a June public listing, aiming to raise $75 billion at a staggering $1.25 trillion valuation. US-Iran Diplomacy: US President Donald Trump signals potential peace negotiations with Iran, mentioning a high-value "present" related to the Strait of Hormuz. We hear expert analysis from heavy-hitting diplomats like former US Ambassador to Poland, Daniel Fried, and Middle East expert Ray Takeyh. Market Wrap: A quick look at the overnight market dips, with the Nasdaq dropping 184 points, the Dow down 84 points, and the S&P 500 down 24 points, but markets are doing much better in Asia, with the Nikkei up almost 3% this morning.

Welcome to BizNews Daybreak with Alec Hogg. In today's episode, we cover the overnight market shifts following a de-escalation in Middle East tensions and dive into the most pressing stories shaping the global and local landscape. In this episode, we unpack: Global Markets: US stocks rally and oil prices decline as President Trump postpones strikes against Iran's energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, gold's historic bull run looks to be over. Tech Leadership: Apple appears to have a new CEO-elect. We look at John Ternus, the 50-year-old hardware genius poised to eventually succeed Tim Cook. Johannesburg's Collapse: Helen Zille delivers a stark warning on Joburg's crumbling infrastructure, revealing that a staggering R300 billion is needed to fix a system crippled by soaring operational costs and political chaos. Nuclear Secrets: Following a 60 Minutes investigation into an attempted heist of South Africa's highly-guarded enriched uranium at Pelindaba, energy expert Dr. Kelvin Kemm provides insight into the stockpile's extreme security.

Helen Zille warns Johannesburg's infrastructure is nearing systemic collapse, with budgets skewed towards operating costs instead of maintenance. The market update then tracks a tough year for Hulamin, political pressure on Palantir in the US, a large Glencore share award for CEO Gary Nagle, and ASP Isotopes' faster-than-expected progress at the former Renergen project. Chris Steyn speaks to nuclear veteran Dr Kelvin Kemm on South Africa's nuclear capability and safeguards, before Colin Coleman warns the Iran-war oil shock could be “devastating” for many African economies.

Helen Zille is back on the campaign trail — this time aiming to become mayor of Johannesburg. The former Western Cape premier and long-time Democratic Alliance (DA) leader says South Africa's economic hub can be turned around after years of instability, corruption and failing infrastructure. In this episode of Sunday Times Politics Weekly, Zille speaks to Sunday Times deputy edior Mike Siluma about her plans for Johannesburg, why she believes coalition governments have failed the city, and whether the DA can defeat the ANC in the upcoming local elections. She also discusses tackling organised crime, enforcing immigration laws, the role of metro police and the political lessons voters should draw from years of coalition instability.
