Fraudsters using AI to scam investors with a fake BizNews interview featuring Helen Zille and Chris Steyn. The inside story of almost two weeks of testimony at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry from former police officer Willem Els who is now with the Institute for Security Studies (ISS). And Renaldo Gouws on his re-entry into politics. These are the topics on today's NdB Sunday Show with Chris Steyn. Els hails KZN Provincial Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi for doing a “good job” in the presentation of his evidence. He notes the huge pressure National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola was under when he arrived to testify. He calls the “very direct” testimony of Major-General Petronella Van Rooyen, Head of Governance at SAPS Legal Services, a “game changer”. As for the propaganda war raging around the key players, Els says: “I think the gloves are off…after…a week and a half of testimony, some damning evidence was tabled. And I think now it's going to heat up.” On the possible outcome, Els says: “…at the end of the day, I think the hope of South Africa is that we get to the bottom of this and that this can be the first step in starting to take back our streets from criminals and the restoration of the rule of law.”

If the Democratic Alliance (DA) icon Helen Zille is elected Mayor of Jo'burg, she will have to overcome huge obstacles to achieve the turn-around promised. In this interivew with BizNews, independent commentator Jonathan Katzenellenbogen says if the DA gets the projected 35% in the local elections, it would have to form a coalition with probably the African National Congress (ANC) that is projected to get 23%. If Zille then starts cutting staff "dramatically", the ANC could turn to the “fellow comrade parties” like the Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) and MKP. “And the ANC can very easily form a Doomsday Coalition with them…” Katzenellenbogen warns that it's going to be “a very hard push” for Zille because of the ANC's “vested interests...the City of Johannesburg is a Patronage Machine". However, should Zille overcome these obstacles and the necessary massive budget is sourced, it would still take about 10 years to restore the City of Gold to its former glory. And if Zille fails to get elected, “big business will have to come in…and confront the council, confront the Mayor, confront the ANC and the Cabinet and say basically this can't continue, it's gone too far. We have got to come and play a role, we'll set up this body and we'll basically run the city. We will make sure that these departments run well….”

In today's BizNews Briefing, Helen Zille's mayoral bid stirs debate as coalition politics shift. Remgro CEO Jannie Durand shares survival strategies while warning against expropriation without compensation. Magnus Heystek explains offshore investing's success, Trump at the UN assembly, Apple eyes Intel, Barloworld struggles, and Sun International wins approval for a new Somerset West casino.

Ray White speaks with ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba as the Johannesburg mayoral race gains momentum. While speculation grows around his return, Mashaba says he won’t contest unless ActionSA can’t find another strong candidate — citing Tshwane Mayor Dr. Nasiphi Moya as a prime example of black excellence and capable leadership. He stresses that it’s not about holding onto power, but about grooming the right talent to lead Joburg and other Gauteng metros. This comes as the DA proposes Helen Zille as a contender, fuelling debate over the city’s future direction. From fixing potholes in Alexandra to challenging broken systems, Mashaba remains active on the ground — but will he run, or make way for new leadership? 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

The Debrief Report: DA Stakes all on Helen Zille to Rescue Joburg from Decay | 22 Sep 25 by Radio Islam

The DA has officially named Helen Zille as their 2026 Johannesburg Mayoral candidate. Born in Hillbrow, Zille says she’s coming home to fix a city in crisis — from broken roads and failing water to rubbish piling up. Her campaign is all about restoring services, fighting corruption, and bringing accountability back to Joburg. But critics argue she’s out of touch and question whether a leader from Cape Town can really connect with Johannesburg’s challenges. It’s shaping up to be one of the most heated local races yet — with Zille promising renewal, and rivals warning she’s the wrong fit. Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to DA mayoral candidate Helen Zille, as Johannesburg becomes the latest battleground in South Africa’s shifting political tides. With the Democratic Alliance now polling ahead of the ANC in the city, Zille’s surprise return to frontline politics has sparked both excitement and skepticism. Frustrated Joburg residents cite crumbling infrastructure — from power cuts and burst water pipes to uncollected waste and pothole-ridden roads — as reasons for wanting change. Zille says the DA is offering a “renewal” agenda, promising to restore basic services and accountability. But in a city fatigued by political promises, the big question remains: can Zille’s experience translate into real change? 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In this BizNews Briefing, Helen Zille is announced as the DA's candidate for Johannesburg mayor, sharing her bold vision for the city. Political analyst Frans Cronje calls it the “most consequential political job in the country,” while Zille tackles tough questions about the DA's strategy and government unity.

Stanlib chief economist Kevin Lings tells BizNews why Johannesburg's collapse is stifling growth, how Helen Zille's mayoral run could change the city's fortunes, and why South Africans are raiding retirement savings to splurge on clothes and shoes. With inflation steady at 3% but long-term savings under threat, Lings warns the two-pot system is becoming embedded in the economy - a short-term sugar rush with dangerous long-term costs

Die DA-leier John Steenhuisen het die party se Federale Raadsvoorsitter, Helen Zille, as hul burgemeesterskandidaat vir Johannesburg in die 2026 Plaaslike Regeringsverkiesing aangekondig. Steenhuisen het in Soweto gesê Johannesburg is 'n stad van buitengewone mense wat deur swak politieke leierskap belemmer word. Steenhuisen het politici beskuldig dat hulle die stad se begroting wanbestuur en gesê die DA is die "muti" wat Johannesburg nodig het. Hy het kiesers aangespoor om nie hul stem te verdeel nie en gewaarsku dat dit die stad se agteruitgang sal verleng:

Debate Over Helen Zille as Johannesburg Mayor Raises Questions on Leadership by Radio Islam

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Tshidi Madia, Associate Political Editor, as she brings sharp insight and political depth to another turbulent week in South African politics on The Political Desk. She unpacks the investigation into Kenny Kunene, found at the home of a murder accused, and questions whether this could damage his standing in Johannesburg or be another scandal he survives. They then examine President Ramaphosa’s suspension of Andrew Chauke, alleged to have enabled State Capture—probing whether this move is genuine accountability or political optics.

Tshidi Madia in for Clement Manyathela speaks to Helen Zille, the Democratic Alliance Federal Council Chairperson about the party’s recent talks with the ANC on the future of the Government of National Unity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tshidi Madia, standing in for 702's Clement Manyathela, speaks to Prince Mashele, a political analyst, Professor Kagiso Pooe from the Wits School of Governance, and Lizeka Tandwa, the Digital Politics Editor for TimesLIVE and Sunday Times, about the Government of National Unity's latest announcement. Briefing the media on the outcome of the ANC’s National Working Committee (NWC) on Tuesday, ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula said that the party will "hit the reset button” and start engaging with parties inside and outside the GNU. This is mainly to tackle the impasse over the 2025 budget that has emerged. Negotiations will take place over the next five days. This ‘reset’ does not entail booting the DA from the GNU, or pushing for any specific changes. Subsequently, Mashele, Pooe and Tandwa discuss and ask: What the way forward is for the GNU. Will the 2025 budget be passed? Will there be a reconfiguration? Where do we stand on the VAT increase? "It's been a rather tumultuous time, a time of uncertainty... what we know right now is that the ANC's currently in conversation with its political partners in the GNU and those who supported it from the outside the GNU primarily, Action SA. What's interesting for us is to see what's going to come out of those conversations." - Lizeka Tandwa, Digital Politics Editor - TimesLIVE and Sunday Times "We must keep this in mind and we must never forget that the biggest two components - that is the ANC and DA - are strategic enemies and they are in this government to weaken each other. That is what we must keep in mind all the time when we see all the dramas... that's number one." - Prince Mashele, Political Analyst "What holds this thing together? It was always the key issue which was the weakness of this, and I call it the strategic weakness." - Kagiso Pooe, Professor - Wits School of Governance Thanks for listening!
