Six months ago, KwaZulu-Natal farmer Pete Keene came to BizNews with a warning nobody wanted to hear. His herd was a hundred percent infected with foot and mouth disease, the government's response had a zero percent chance of working, and the law wouldn't even let him reach for a needle and syringe. Today, a lot has changed on paper — the High Court struck down that law, the minister who defended it has been removed — but Pete's message is stark: the fire is still burning, and the real cost, a calving rate that crashed from ninety to thirty percent, won't fully show up until 2032. He never asked for a bailout. He asked to be heard. Also today: Johan Rupert sits on a R100bn cash pile after the cleanest exit in Remgro's history; the DA leads the ANC in by-elections nationally for the first time, then detonates a credibility bomb in the same week; and Business Unity SA walks away from the UIF after six years of being ignored.
Today on BizNews Newswrap, Lucienne Ferreira dives into Bitcoin's explosive new heights, fresh shifts in U.S. politics, and Johan Rupert's bold efforts to strengthen South Africa's trade ties.

SANCO in the Free State says it has noted with concern the alleged interference by Businessman, Johan Rupert in ANC internal affairs. This comes at the backdrop of leaked audio clips circulating on social media platforms, depicting a chaotic ANC NEC meeting marred by an exchange of insults and swear words.

Bush’s funeral was held in the United States of America and we look at the media coverage of the late President’s legacy.

CliffCentral.com — State Capture has dominated the South African socio-political landscape recently, culminating in an explosive report by the Public Protector outlining various cases of politicians being compromised by wealthy businesspeople. Others have argued that the focus on the Guptas and others is misplaced and should rather be directed at the looting of the state by a group of powerful businessmen referred to as the 'Stellenbosch Mafia' - people like Andile Mngxitama have insisted that individuals such as Johan Rupert need to be investigated. In this explosive show Andrew and Rori speak to Jan Bosman of the Afrikanerbond and political analyst Ralph Mathekga, to find out whether the Stellenbosch Mafia really exist and what their impact on the South African socio-political and economic landscape is.
