The MK Party says South Africa must use the next 90 days to intensify its relations with countries in the BRICS block. It has also said it will not involve itself or be used in the machinations within the Government of National Unity with respect to the Budget. This, as the ANC met with the YESTERDAY to resolve the impasse in the executive governance structure. The country's main opposition also pronounced on South Africa's tense relations with the US on the sidelines of an event to celebrate party leader, Jacob Zuma's birthday in Soweto.

“I think the fact that I'm not a lawyer makes me a far better legal journalist, because I'm trying to understand things, explain them to ordinary people in a language that they can understand.” – Karyn Maughan. Disarmingly honest and deeply personal, ‘I Will Not Be Silenced' takes a razor-sharp look at how powerful men use attacks on individuals who try to hold them accountable, as well as on the media and the courts, to undermine democracy. In this discussion with Adriaan Basson, Karyn expands on her experience as a legal journalist who reported on Jacob Zuma's legal woes for two decades, and in the process became one of his targets. This discussion was recorded on 13 November 2024 at Exclusive Books V&A Waterfront.

In today's BizNews Briefing, Alec Hogg dives into the DA addressing the need for a new US ambassador amid simmering GNU friction, Jacob Zuma's MK party delivering a shock defeat to the ANC in a Saldanha Bay by-election, and a devastating air show tragedy. Plus, the latest updates on Elon Musk and Tesla.

In his latest Sunday Show with BizNews, Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement, begs billionaire Elon Musk to put African National Congress (ANC) SG Fikile Mbalula in rocket and send him to another planet because “everything he says is absolutely nonsensical”. He predicts a hard fall for Johannesburg “kryptonite” Mayor Dada Marrero, who is under fire for using “influencers” as praise singers to cover up for poor service delivery in the decaying city of Egoli. He speculates that the National Prosecuting Authority's (NPA) reconsideration of its decision not to take a fraud and perjury case against Deputy President Paul Mashatile to trial, could be a way to take him out of the running for President. He once again warns that former president Jacob Zuma's MKP should not be underestimated - this time after his party got a foothold in the Western Cape by taking Middelpos from the ANC with 44% in last week's by-election. De Beer also comments on the Battle for the Budget that will have to be fought line item by line item. Lastly, he speaks about the SANDF's planned withdrawal from the DRC - and gives the backstory of the wings that have disappeared from our top general's chest.

At the seventh BizNews Conference BNC#7 in Hermanus, United Independent Movement (UIM) President Neil de Beer shared his unfiltered insights with BizNews journalist and Sunday Show host Chris Steyn. From the inner workings of the Government of National Unity (GNU) and the DA-ANC relationship to Jacob Zuma's MK party and the state of South Africa's intelligence services, De Beer didn't hold back. With sharp wit and deep political experience, he tackled issues of corruption, civil unrest, and South Africa's future, delivering a hard-hitting analysis of the country's most pressing challenges.

Member of Parliament, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla's case of alleged incitement of terrorism and violence has been remanded to the 14th of August this year. The MK Party member and daughter to former president, Jacob Zuma made a brief appearance today at the High Court in Durban. She stands accused of using her X account, formely known as Twitter, to incite violence and support of violence during the widespread unrest of July 2021. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC reporter, Fanele Mhlongo

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 this interview with BizNews, Elections Analyst Wayne Sussman gives BizNews viewers an overview and in-depth analysis of the performances of main political parties in municipal by-elections since last year's national election. Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie's Patriotic Alliance (PA) emerges as “probably the most consistently improving party”; the Democratic Alliance (DA) has had a rocky road”; the African National Congress (ANC) has recovered “some support…mainly at the expense” of former President Jacob Zuma's MKP which has suffered some “staggering drops”; the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) was “one of the most consistently improving” parties until it “ran into some potholes” towards the end of 2024, but recently won a seat off the ANC - and could be poised to do well in 2026; and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has “typically declined”, but recovered some support in a raft of by-elections in the mining belt of Thabazimbi in Limpopo. 

In this latest edition of the Sunday Show. Neil de Beer says Police Minister Senzo Mchunu is licking his lips for the return of AfriForum's Kallie Kriel from the Afrikaners' latest mission to the US amid a dispute over farm murder statistics. “…there's a little bit of a facial expression from Mchunu that this is not just about a discrepancy, but this is about: I'm waiting for you.” As for criticism from other Cabinet ministers, he says: “I sometimes think that these ministers that are going through allegations - and there are more than 20, 30 of them - they actually beg that people like AfriForum go run around the world and cause mayhem. Because as long as they are the target, as long as they are the story, they're not the story.” De Beer slams the very poor performance of National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) boss Shamila Batohi whose term ends in January 2026 - and lists some of the “walking hyenas that are still around here and some of them disgustingly still being leadership”. Meanwhile, he calls on Correctional Services Minister Pieter Groenewald to review the parole of the long-time “terminally ill” Shabir Shaik who “has become a biological miracle and must be captured and put into a museum”. As for the delayed Budget Speech, he urges Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana to introduce cost-cutting measures, “but you have to have nuts to cut”. De Beer also shares details of an hour-and-half long conversation he had with former President Jacob Zuma's Private Secretary, Isaac Leshona, following his interview with BizNews - and the purges being executed by SG Floyd Shivambu in one faction and Duduzile Zuma in another.

“There's a real possibility that there will be a breakaway party soon from the MK party.” That is the warning from Isaac Leshona, former President Jacob Zuma's private secretary. Leshona says Secretary General Floyd Shivambu is facing “a lot” of animosity. “He came in as a celebrity, unfortunately, and it's proving to be detrimental in the party as well as for him. Now he's facing resistance.” Leshona says Shivambu's arrival meant that there were also people coming in from the EFF whom he promoted over and above people who'd been working the ground in provinces as well as in regions. He calls MKP's poor performance in a recent by-election (down from 54% to 19%) an indictment of the SG. He also slams Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla for taking “advantage of her proximity to the President to whisper sometimes untruths into his ear and also to sideline….comrades whom she doesn't like”. As for the performance of the Government of National Unity (GNU), Leshona says: “Nothing will happen if we still pussyfoot around issues of corruption. We still have corrupt ministers. We still have corrupt ANC National Executive Committee members at the forefront of things. So until the ANC takes a hard stance against corruption, nothing will change.”

United Independent Movement (UIM) President Neil de Beer defies death threats to be back on the Sunday Show with BizNews - and says: “You are not going to silence us. In actual fact, tomorrow I will buy a bigger megaphone.” He goes on to speak about the return of racism to South Africa; the charge of incitement to violence he has laid against Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) MP Andile Mngxitama; and describes the African National Congress's evolution from Nelson Mandela's reconciliation to Jacob Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa's “retribution”. As for US President Donald Trump's retribution against South Africa, De Beer says it is not driven by the land redistribution issue, but by support for Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and BRICS membership, and calls President Cyril Ramaphosa a “moegoe” if he thinks he can “kick America to touch….let the white Afrikaners that want to leave, leave….and then replace America and the minorities with China”. De Beer also takes a deep dive into the perilous state of the country's finances - and slams Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana as Treasury is negotiating a new R27 billion loan from the World Bank.

A race war of words has been raging for days over US President Donald Trump's refugee offer to Afrikaners. ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba has also been drawn into that. In this interview with BizNews, he says: “what I think I find strange is that these people who are criticizing me, insulting me actually of racism, are people who are happy when I criticize ANC corruption.” As for Trump, Mashaba says: “I think it is actually quite scary the manner and the rate at which Trump is actually taking his decisions.” Mashaba blames President Cyril Ramaphosa for not engaging, “particularly AfriForum and some of the political parties in his so-called GNU, because these are the people who went out and fed this information to Trump's advisors”. As for the role being played by Elon Musk, he says: “…this has never really happened in the history of United States where someone from outside can actually, actually looks like it's more powerful than the president himself”. Meanwhile, following some by-election defeats for former President Jacob Zuma's MKP, Mashaba holds up KZN province “a good model for democracy because it says to all of us in all the provinces that let's not be married to political parties. Let us be married to what political parties stand for. We vote them in on the basis of what they promise and they fail, next time you punish them.”

Umkonto weSizwe party MP Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla has apologized to her father, Jacob Zuma, and the party leadership for her social media outburst. But the apology didn't mention party Secretary General Floyd Shivambu by name - the target of her profanity-laced tweets. Elvis Presslin got analysis from KZN-based Political Analyst, Zakhele Ndlovu

Mzwanele Manyi on Jacob Zuma's Absence from SONA: "Deliberate Move by the Judiciary" by Radio Islam

In this edition of the Sunday Show, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM) Neil de Beer talks about the future of the Government of National Unity (GNU) being reset by President Cyril Ramaphosa and Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen over a private lunch; the apparent disunity between Freedom Front Plus Leader Pieter Groenewald and Western Cape Leader Corné Mulder as yet another DA Mayor is ousted. De Beer lists the Cabinet Ministers and Deputies who are governing under a cloud; and slams former President Jacob Zuma's MKP appropriating the Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) name, and SANDF Chief General Rudzani Maphwanya wearing honorary Recce and 44 Parachute Battalion badges. (He calls it “stolen valour”, and challenges the general to a tandem parachute jump). De Beer comments on the diplomatic row between Rwandan President Paul Kagame and “our limping, gutless president” - and lays into Defence Minister Angie Motshekga. He expresses concern about attacks on the highly efficient KZN Provincial Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. And, of course, he has a pointed message for ESKOM after the unexpected load shedding this weekend.

In today's BizNews Briefing: ISS Executive Director Dr Jakkie Cilliers and BizNews Journalist Linda van Tilburg weigh in on the doomed SANDF mission to DRC. Forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan unpacks the why Jacob Zuma's daughter Duduzile appeared in court today.

Join host Bronwyn Nielsen as she takes us through the biggest stories of the day.

In this edition of the Sunday Show, Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), comments on the crisis in the Government of National Unity (GNU) following President Cyril Ramaphosa's signing of the Land Expropriation Bill and says Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen “can't just now throw toys out of the cot; he has to now go to the table and see if he can save the GNU”. De Beer slams the attacks on Public Works Minister Dean MacPherson from Deputy President Paul Mashatile, ActionSA and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). “I think he's taking away too many people's fat chow.” De Beer gives a peep into succession “battles” in both the DA and African National Congress (ANC) where word has it that there is “a female under the guiding light of Cyril Ramaphosa, whom he favours”. As for The Hawks raid on the office of DA Deputy Federal Chair JP Smith and another MMC, De Beer says there is “a clear GNU strategy attack…now filtering down to local government level”. De Beer warns that while the GNU is weakening, former President Jacob Zuma's MKP is growing stronger. “MK is sitting and they are waiting for the right moment.” Lastly, he describes the fierce fighting in the eastern DRC in which at least eight SANDF soldiers have been killed.

Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), turned up to the latest recording of the Sunday Show to deny a viral voice note announcing that he had died at 10pm last night. He goes on, in his customary irrepressible fashion, to lambast top African National Congress (ANC) politicians like Mineral and Petroleum Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe for his failures and excesses; Secretary General Fikile Mbalula for his “insult politics” and that luxury yacht trip to Robben Island. He gives his take on former Springbok coach Pieter De Villiers joining former president Jacob Zuma's MKP, which De Beer describes as “a tyranny of couch potatoes of the people that are rejected by common society”. He speaks about the dark secrets of the Apartheid-era going to the grave with former spy boss Neil Barnard. And he describes how the low standard of education in South Africa is “killing the child's future”.

David Coltart, a former minister in Robert Mugabe's Government of National Unity (GNU), shares some of the hard lessons learned in Zimbabwe where Zanu-PF used the GNU to hollow out the opposition and become stronger than ever. “.. applying that to South Africa, the DA, the IFP,  they need to demonstrate some savvy. It's a balance. Obviously, they've got to deliver effectively on their own ministry so that they can demonstrate to the electorate in South Africa that they are competent and inspire confidence. And that needs to be their dominant responsibility. But they must not ever do that at the cost of allowing the ANC to consolidate their power in the areas of civic bodies, universities, the judiciary and critically, the media”. Coltart doesn't see former President Jacob Zuma's MKP as a major threat to the GNU as long as the GNU works and delivers to the South African people. “But if the DA, the IFP laps into this notion that they hold these positions as of right and they don't have to deliver, then they will become very vulnerable to the populism of MK and the EFF to a lesser extent,” he warns.

Die EFF-leier Julius Malema sê die stigting van oudpresident Jacob Zuma se MK-party moet die skuld kry vir die EFF se swak vertoning in verlede jaar se algemene verkiesing. Die party se nasionale steun het afgeneem van 10,5-persent in 2019 tot 9,5-persent in die Mei-verkiesing. Die MK-party het die EFF boonop verbygesteek as die land se derde grootste party. Malema het aan eNCA gesê EFF-ondersteuners is mislei, veral in KwaZulu-Natal:

On today's Daybreak Africa, former South Africa president Jacob Zuma demands the ANC reinstate his membership, Doctors Without Borders suspends its activities at a key Khartoum hospital after gunmen repeatedly attack patients and staff, and a wave of Nigerian airstrikes that have killed civilians sparks concern. All this and more on Daybreak Africa.

Ray White speaks to political analyst, Asanda Ngoasheng, giving us this week’s political wrap touching on the ANC’s113th birthday celebrations, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi’s resignation as EEF member of parliament and Jacob Zuma looking to be reinstated as a member of the ANC.

Die president van die ANC, Cyril Ramaphosa sê volgens die party se grondwet is die regte prosesse gevolg om oudpresident Jacob Zuma se lidmaatskap te beëindig. MK-partyleier Zuma, het die ANC tot 31 Januarie tyd gegee om hom as 'n lid van die party te herstel of regstappe in die gesig te staar. In 'n brief aan die party het hy minstens 12 vermeende oortredings deur die ANC in sy tugproses gelys. Ramaphosa sê die tugproses teen Zuma is afgehandel:

Die voormalige president Jacob Zuma se prokureurs het 'n eisbrief geskryf aan die ANC, wat die herinstelling van sy lidmaatskap teen 31 Januarie vra. In November verlede jaar het die party se nasionale dissiplinêre appèlkomitee die besluit van die nasionale dissiplinêre komitee bevestig om Zuma uit te skop. Hy is geskors omdat hy die party se reputasie geskend het deur 'n mededingende party, MK, te stig en te lei. Die Jacob Zuma-stigting se woordvoerder, Mzwanele Manyi, sê hulle het prosedurele en wesenlike bekommernisse oor die ANC se prosesse.

Die MK Party eis die onmiddellike herroeping van die regering se besluit om die Gemeenskapswerkprogram-kontrakte vir mense van 55 jaar en ouer te beëindig. Die party vra ook 'n verbintenis om die lewensbestaan van die deelnemers te beskerm. Visvin Reddy van die MK sê die program, wat tydens president Jacob Zuma se administrasie ingestel is, was 'n baanbrekersingryping en daarop gemik om armoede en werkloosheid te verlig deur een-miljoen werksgeleenthede te skep:

McKinsey va payer une amende de plus de 122 millions de dollars pour mettre fin à une enquête sur un système de corruption de fonctionnaires en Afrique du Sud. L'occasion de nous pencher sur la présence de ce type de structures sur le continent. Décryptage.  Avant d'entrer dans le vif du sujet, il convient d'expliquer ce qu'est un cabinet de conseil. Il s'agit d'entreprises qui mettent à disposition de leur client des consultants. Leur mission: faire un état des lieux d'une situation donnée. Une fois que c'est fait, ils délivrent leurs avis ou leurs recommandations. Ces clients, ça peut être n'importe qui, de grands groupes internationaux aux Etats en passant par des institutions. Le recours à ces structures a un coût et il évolue évidemment en fonction des moyens qu'on y met mais comptez plusieurs milliers d'euros par jour, cela pour un consultant ! Différents États clients Les États et gouvernements sont très friands de ce genre de structures. Elles leur permettent de mettre au point leur stratégie de développement. Des dizaines de structures de ce type conseillent les différents gouvernements, McKinsey, PWC, KPMG, Boston Consulting Group par exemple, qui sont des groupes internationaux, mais il y a aussi des cabinets locaux qui opèrent sur le continent africain. D'ailleurs, au niveau mondial, le secteur connait une croissance annuelle d'au moins 10 %. À écouter aussiLes cabinets de conseil gouvernent-ils la France?Ces entreprises sont très sollicitées. Illustration au Sénégal, avec le plan Sénégal émergent, dont le premier jet a été élaboré par le cabinet de conseil américain McKinsey qui dressait les axes de développement du pays. Il y a aussi l'Afrique du Sud. Entre 2012 et 2016, ce même cabinet McKinsey a obtenu des millions de dollars pour conseiller le développement de deux entreprises publiques: Eskom pour l'électricité et Transnet pour les transports ! De nombreuses dérives D'après la justice américaine, qui a travaillé en lien avec les autorités sud-africaines, McKinsey a soudoyé, via des intermédiaires, des responsables de ces deux entreprises, en échange d'informations confidentielles sur les procédures d'attribution de lucratifs contrats de conseil qui lui ont rapporté près de 85 millions de dollars. Sauf que ces deux entreprises ont pratiquement fait faillite en raison justement d'une corruption généralisée, dont la mise au jour est devenue un scandale d'État. Alors évidemment il ne s'agit pas de généraliser. Les cabinets de conseils et leurs consultants, s'ils sont souvent discrets voire invisibles, ne sont pas tous des acteurs de la corruption. Et après cet accord entre la Justice américaine et McKinsey de 122 millions de dollars pour mettre fin aux poursuites judiciaires aux États-Unis et en Afrique du Sud, le cabinet a affirmé qu'il était aujourd'hui un groupe différent du moment où les faits se sont produits. Une amende pour solde de tout compte qui passe mal en Afrique du Sud où certains auraient voulu voir les coupables traduits devant une cour criminelle. Et face au tollé déclenché par cette affaire, le gouvernement sud-africain a d'ailleurs décidé de ne pas collaborer avec McKinsey pour la préparation du sommet du G20 qui se tiendra l'année prochaine à Johannesburg ! À lire aussiClimat: en Australie, McKinsey suspecté de conflit d'intérêts dans ses activités de conseil au gouvernement

Die MK-party-parlementslid Mzwanele Manyi het die EFF-leier Julius Malema se dreigement oor regstappe om die voormalige president Jacob Zuma se Nkandla-komplek te konfiskeer oor onbetaalde regsfooie afgemaak. Die geskil volg op spanning tussen die EFF en MK oor versekeie voormalige EFF-lede wat by MK aangesluit het. Manyi voer aan Zuma se eiendom is onder beskerming van die Ingonyama-trust en daar kan nie daarop beslag gelê word nie:

In this regular Sunday Show with BizNews, Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), delves into the “deeper plan” of former President Jacob Zuma's MKP that have hit the campaign trail “like it is three months before elections”, and says: “…this party is undoubtedly hungry, obsessive…very well funded and without a doubt filled with strategy.” He warns that a “strategic takeover” of government “is becoming more and more of a reality and I fear our opposition is not geared…” De Beer talks about South Africa's own Watergate: Ramagate - the ongoing Phala Phala saga of President Cyril's Ramaphosa's dollar-stuffed couch. He expresses concern that undeclared foreign funding of political parties makes South Africa “the badminton ball between all foreign states”. De Beer also describes how Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa's push for renewable energy projects mirrors the strategies advocated by former ESKOM CEO André de Ruyter. Furthermore, he gives his take on the Vodacom-Remgro merger controversy and the DTIC minister's unusual appeal against the Competition Tribunal's rejection of it. In another bit of good news, he outlines how the Government of National Unity (GNU) is forcing African National Congress (ANC) Ministers to become more responsive to the needs of their constituents.

In this latest Sunday Show with Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM) identifies former President Jacob Zuma as the politician who holds the most aces in the “dirty tricks department” of hidden scandals involving other politicians. “…he always uses the security conclave and the intelligence scenario. And that's why he's always one ahead…I don't think there's people that can counter MK at this moment on that deep dark level.” Analysing the appointment of Floyd Shivambu as the MKP's Secretary General, De Beer says: “He's going to solidify them. But at the same time, make no mistake, he's also going to kill EFF.” De Beer dissects the possible motive behind Deputy President Paul Mashatile's stance that the Government of National Unity (GNU) would survive a Democratic Alliance (DA) exit. He also lists the politicians in the African National Congress (ANC) Top 7 whom he believes are indictable and impeachable. And he describes how the flaunting of laws have created two current national crises.

Die nasionale dissiplinêre appèlkomitee van die ANC het die besluit van die nasionale dissiplinêre komitee bevestig om Jacob Zuma uit die party te skop. Die nasionale woordvoerder , Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri, sê as 'n voormalige president van die ANC is daar van Zuma verwag om die aan hoogste standaarde van leierskap te voldoen. Deur 'n mededingende politieke party te vestig en te lei, het hy die eenheid en samehorigheid van die beweging ondermyn. Bhengu-Motsiri sê die besluit dien as 'n herinnering dat geen indiwidu groter as die beweging is nie, en dat die party se krag lê in sy leierskap en verbintenis tot die aspirasies van die mense:

ormer president Jacob Zuma has laid out details of an audacious plan to “take back my ANC', by uniting “black” parties under his MK party banner and recapturing the leadership of the party, which he said had “deviated from our ancestors”. He spoke to Sunday Times politics editor Sibongakonke Shoba about various topics, including the formation of the MK Party and his decision not to relinquish his ANC membership.

R63 billion rands worth of projects have been affected by the Construction Mafia, and in this interview with BizNews, Deputy Finance Minister Ashor Sarupen states that the biggest obstacle in dealing with it has been how it was created. “And that was when former President Jacob Zuma said in Parliament that there will be a 30% set aside for local communities, because too many people thought that this means that I must personally get 30% of the value of that project. And it gave rise to all of these Construction Mafias. So we must be blunt and honest and say it was a problem created by President Zuma and towards the tail end of his term pushing this populist message out. And now we've got to fix that.” The Deputy Minister goes on to detail the strategy put together for government at this week's National Construction Summit on Site Disruptions. He also gives an update on Operation Vulindlela. “There are new focus areas coming in Operation Vulindlela and that will be focused on local government in particular because we can't continue with our towns and cities falling apart.”

Die EFF-leier, Julius Malema sê hy is nie geïntimideer of bang vir die voormalige president en MK-partyleier Jacob Zuma nie, en hy voeg by hy is gereed om te veg. Dit volg na die uittog van vooraanstaande EFF-lede na die MK-party, insluitend die voormalige adjunk-president, Floyd Shivambu. Malema sê in 'n party-potgooi daar is geen manier waarop enigiemand die bestaan van die EFF sal bedreig en dan 'n vriend word nie:

Die voormalige adjunkpresident van die EFF, Floyd Shivambu het belowe om die MK-party te help om 'n gedugte organisasie te word wat verkiesings sonder moeite kan wen.

Il y a 30 ans, des files interminables se formaient à l'extérieur des bureaux de vote du pays, pour le tout premier scrutin multiracial. Avec l'élection de Nelson Mandela, les Sud-Africains écoutaient, pleins d'espoir, les promesses de son parti, et rêvaient d'une société arc-en-ciel pour tourner la page de l'apartheid. Aujourd'hui, la corruption et les limites des politiques publiques sont passées par là... les trentenaires à qui on avait prédit une vie meilleure ont vécu des expériences très différentes, qui reflètent les défis post-apartheid.Un Grand reportage de Romain Chanson et Claire Bargelès qui s'entretiennent avec Patrick Adam. Slovénie, la vallée de la Vipava s'adapte au changement climatiqueNichée entre les Alpes juliennes et la mer Adriatique, la vallée slovène de la Vipava subit de plein fouet les conséquences du changement climatique.

“It's unacceptable for a member who was a veteran and he was a former president, to have started a new political party. Of course he knew that he was violating the ANC's rules” – Snuki Zikalala, president of the ANC's Veterans League The relationship between South Africa's African National Congress and its former president Jacob Zuma appears to have come to an end. Zuma was officially expelled by the party last month, following a disciplinary hearing. It comes after he established Umkhonto Wesizwe Party, which claimed almost 15% of the vote at this year's national election. On Thursday, the ANC's Secretary General Fikile Mbalula reiterated that Zuma's matter had now been finalized and that he was no longer the party's member. Although it's not clear if Zuma will appeal, he earlier insisted that this was far from over. Zuma is a popular but also controversial figure who's known for staging sensational political comebacks. Alan Kasujja sits down with two ANC veterans Tony Yengeni, who represented Zuma at his disciplinary hearing as well as Snuki Zikalala, a critic of Zuma's. To unpack all these political developments, Alan hears from Professor Daryl Glaser from Wits University in Johannesburg.
