My guest on this episode is just down the Texan road from me, Hal Rose. Hal first hunted South Africa back in 1994 and only returned some twenty years later. Well, as Hal will re-tell, the African bug bit him harder on his second trip and since then he has planned on returning to hunt this beautiful land every year since.   Hal shares some great stories across his 3 trips to South Africa, from Kwa-Zulu Natal, to Limpopo and down to the Eastern Cape. He also shares some great advice for those new hunters, looking at hunting Africa.   If you would like to reach out to Hal and talk about hunting or maybe even get some feedback on an outfitter you are looking at, then you can reach him via email on: halrose01@gmail.com   Hey, do me a favor? If you are enjoying these episodes, then please leave a 5* rating and review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. It don't cost anything and only takes 2 seconds. Thanks!

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 25th of January, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. ”Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.”John 15:2 Pruning is a painful operation, but we need to get rid of the deadwood so that we can grow strong, straight and healthy. That deadwood must be disposed of.We live in a most beautiful area here in KwaZulu-Natal. At Shalom, we are surrounded by beautiful forests of eucalyptus trees, of pine trees, and when the forester plants those seedlings, they are the size of my little finger, and they look so beautiful when they grow up to waist height, but as they grow older they start to crowd into each other. Then the forester comes and starts to take out the trees that are too cluttered so that the ones that remain can grow strong. If he leaves them, he will have a forest which will be entangled and starved of nutrients. It will be wasted. The same thing applies with a fruit tree. I remember I had a beautiful plum tree. It was the smallest tree in our orchard. It had been pruned naturally when it was small and yet eventually when it grew up, it produced the sweetest plums that I've ever eaten.Now, we need to prune our children, and it's called discipline. If you see a young man or a young woman who is disciplined, they are a pleasure to be around. They are very well-mannered, totally selfless, they care about other people, not themselves, and they are very popular because people want to be near them. But the person who has never been disciplined is self-centred, they are not interested in the things of God, only themselves, because they have never been pruned. Now the one who does the pruning is Jesus Christ, and it is very painful sometimes, but let it happen so that the end result will be profitable, and the produce will be acceptable to God.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

John Maytham is joined by Dr Suhayfa Bhamjee, Senior Lecturer in Criminal Law at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. She argues that this was not merely a procedural lapse, but an incident with far-reaching consequences for the integrity of the National Prosecuting Authority. In a system built on transparency and the testing of evidence through cross-examination, the abrupt exit of the country’s top prosecutor has fuelled concerns about respect for due process, the authority of commissions of inquiry, and public confidence in the rule of law. 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. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

'n Terugblik oor die mynboutragedie in Stilfontein in Noordwes vroeër vanjaar, terwyl die onwettige mynboukrisis in Bapong ontvou. Dierewelsynsorganisasies sien 'n toename in weggooitroeteldiere tydens die feesgety. Die jongste nuus na nóg oorstromings in KwaZulu-Natal.

Die buurland se landbouminister, John Steenhuisen, sê die departement se ministeriële raadgewende taakspan vir voorkoming en beheer van dieresiektes stel 'n bepalende, feit-gedrewe meesterplan in vir die bekamping van bek-en-klouseer. Die siekte kom tans in sewe provinsies voor, met die meeste gevalle in KwaZulu-Natal. Die departement se woordvoerder, Joylene van Wyk, sê Suid-Afrika het nou ʼn tegnies goeie manier gevind om sy doelwit van ʼn bek-en-klouseer-vrye status te bereik:

This episode was first released in December 2022. Listen through to the end for an update including additional information I've received since the initial episode was published. When 20-year-old Siam Lee went missing from her place of work in Kwazulu-Natal in 2018, her disappearance made headlines for all the wrong reasons. As the story developed, she and her mother would be cast as one-dimensional characters in the story being told about them. When Siam's remains were found, though, attention would shift to her alleged murderer and justice for Siam seemed to hang in the balance.

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê dit is kommerwekkend dat daar diegene, binne en buite die land, is wat hul uiterste bes doen om 'n vals prentjie van die Suid-Afrikaanse omgewing te skets. Hy het gister die geleentheidsrede gelewer tydens die nasionale herdenking van Versoeningsdag by die Ncome Museum in KwaZulu-Natal. Ramaphosa sê die land se kritici skilder 'n vals prentjie wat ontwerp is om vrees en haat te saai, maar hulle sal nie slaag nie:

Die instorting van die Redcliffe-tempel in eThekwini, KwaZulu-Natal, is amptelik tot 'n misdaadtoneel verklaar. Vyf mense is dood. Die minister van Openbare Werke en Infrastruktuur, Dean Macpherson, sê vroeë ondersoeke toon ernstige foute, insluitend onbelynde strukture, geen goedgekeurde bouplanne of permitte nie, en tekens dat die gebou sonder sertifisering gebruik is. Hy sê die terrein sal aan die Departement van Indiensneming en Arbeid oorhandig word vir verdere ondersoek:

Die IVP LUR vir Samewerkende Regering en Tradisionele Sake in KwaZulu-Natal, Thulasizwe Buthelezi, sê die premier, Thami Ntuli, se ampstermyn van 18-maande het vordering getoon vergeleke met vorige administrasies. Buthelezi het die wetgewer toegespreek tydens 'n mosie van wantroue en vordering in wet en orde, ekonomiese groei en dienslewering geprys. Hy noem verbeterde veiligheid, werkskepping, meer skoon oudits en groeiende beleggersvertroue en vra die wetgewer om bestendigheid en kontinuïteit te kies:

Die premier van KwaZulu-Natal oorleef 'n wantrouemosie te midde van chaos in die wetgewer. Hoe versoen is Suid-Afrikaners? Wyle dr. Franklin Sonn vereer.

In a day of violence and high drama, former President Jacob Zuma's MKP failed to gain control of KZN. In this interview with Chris Steyn, Democratic Alliance (DA) Provincial Leader Francois Rodgers describes the scene after a Motion of No Confidence against Premier Thami Ntuli was defeated. “I think the people of KwaZulu-Natal and the broader public at large can now see what to expect under an MKP government…It was purely to gain power, to gain access into the government with no...clear direction whatsoever….When we'd done the voting and the Speaker had then closed the sitting down, she was hit in the face by an MKP member of the Provincial Legislature. The Secretary of the Provincial Legislature was also pushed around.…It was shocking and quite frankly nauseating.” Earlier the Speaker had to suspend the sitting because MKP became disruptive after the Speaker ruled against a secret ballot. “…she covered all her bases, but MK, like a spoiled child, just wouldn't accept it.” As for Zuma's presence in the chamber, Rodgers remarks: “Clearly, he must have been quite happy with the way his commanders behaved. Because if I was the leader of a party and I was in a legislature, and that's how my party members were behaving, I'd make sure they get a message to sit down and behave and take part in what should be a democratic process.”

Die premier van KwaZulu-Natal, Thami Ntuli, sê die regering het begin om met die boubedryf oor voldoening aan regulasies te praat nadat 'n tempel in Durban ineengestort het. Afriforum se bewering dat ten minste twee joernaliste deur die regering betaal word om die burgerregte-organisasie te diskretiteer, laat die wenkbroue lig. Die SAKP is onseker oor sy alliansie met die ANC. Australië se eerste minister Anthony Albanese sê sy regering sal alles doen wat nodig is om antisemitisme uit te roei ná die skietaanval op Bondi Beach in Sydney.

Die minister van openbare werke en infrastruktuur, Dean Macpherson, het sy ondersteuning vir reddingswerkers uitgespreek nadat 'n tempel in Redcliffe, KwaZulu-Natal, ineengestort het. Vier liggame is reeds herwin. Reddingsoperasies duur voort te midde van uitdagende weer en onbestendige strukture, met die primêre fokus nou om moontlike oorlewendes wat nog vasgekeer is, te red. Macpherson sê ondersoeke na die oorsaak van die ineenstorting sal plaasvind sodra die reddingsoperasie afgehandel is:

Die LUR vir samewerkende regering en tradisionele sake in KwaZulu-Natal, Thulasizwe Buthelezi, sê alles moontlik word gedoen om oorlewendes na die Verulam-tempel se ineenstorting te red. Reddingspanne in Durban het 'n vyfde liggaam uit die puin herwin, ná vier liggame van mans Saterdag gevind is. Verskeie mense is volgens berigte moontlik steeds vasgekeer. Spanne gebruik hand- en elektriese gereedskap om deur dik beton te breek. Owerhede sê herwinningsoperasies sal voortduur ondanks moeilike weersomstandighede, met soek- en reddingspogings wat die primêre fokus bly.

Die eThekwini-munisipaliteit sê geen goedgekeurde bouplanne is ingedien vir die Verulam-tempelgebou wat in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, ineengestort het nie. Twee mense is dood en drie ander is steeds vasgekeer. Reaksie-eenheid Suid-Afrika sê reddingspanne boor versigtig deur puin om oorlewendes op te spoor. Die gebou het na bewering ineengestort terwyl beton deur 'n mengvragmotor gegooi is. Burgemeester Cyril Xaba sê die voldoeningsregulasies sal nou ondersoek word:

Een persoon is dood, en verskeie ander is vasgekeer nadat 'n vierverdiepingtempel wat in aanbou is in Redcliffe, noord van Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, ineengestort het. Die presiese aantal mense wat vasgekeer is, is onbekend. Die woordvoerder van die Departement van Samewerkende Regering en Tradisionele Sake, Senzelwe Mzila, sê rampbestuur en gespesialiseerde reddingspanne is op die terrein, om die beseerdes te help en persone wat onder die puin vasgekeer is, te bevry:

Die 2025 Suid-Afrikaanse Versoeningsbarometer toon slegs 31-persent van burgers het baie vertroue in die Regering van Nasionale Eenheid met 34-persent wat min vertroue toon. 'n Navorser, Kate Lefko-Everett, sê vertroue is in die Wes-Kaap, Noordwes en Limpopo die hoogste en die laagste in die Noord-Kaap, KwaZulu-Natal en die Vrystaat. Sy verbind dié gemengde resultate aan bestuur, dienslewering en aanspreeklikheid want armoede en ongelykheid is steeds groot struikelblokke:

Die ANC se sekretaris-generaal, Fikile Mbalula, sê die party se verliese in die verkiesing was nie per ongeluk nie, maar is veroorsaak deur korrupsie, staatskaping, mislukte dienslewering en ekonomiese stagnasie. Hy het gister die party se middeltermyn-verslag by die vyfde Nasionale Algemene Raad in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni, gelewer. Mbalula sê die terugslag wat die ANC in 2024 se nasionale en provinsiale verkiesings gely het, was erger in KwaZulu-Natal en Gauteng:

AfriForum sê die waterstelsel is in 'n krisis, met munisipale ineenstorting, lekkende infrastruktuur en onbetaalde rekeninge wat watertariewe opjaag. Onlangse verslae deur waterrade toon dat munisipaliteite in KwaZulu-Natal daagliks meer as 1 miljard liter water verloor, wat meer as 6 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand per jaar kos. Lambert de Klerk van AfriForum het die Nasionale Tesourie en die Departement van Water en Sanitasie versoek om onmiddellik op te tree deur lekkasies te herstel, aanspreeklikheid af te dwing en oplossings vanuit die gemeenskap te ondersteun om inwoners se watersekerheid te beskerm:

Die buurland se landbouminister, John Steenhuisen, sê die huidige bek-en-klouseer uitbreking het 'n ernstige uitwerking op boere, veral in KwaZulu-Natal, waar die meeste onopgeloste uitbrekings voorkom. Ten spyte van uitgebreide inentingspogings, belemmer onbeheerde dierebewegings vordering. Die departement verskerp inperking, brei entstofvoorraad uit en werk saam met die bedryf en internasionale vennote. Beyers Smit van die DA sê Steenhuisen belowe voortgesette steun vir boere wat geraak word en versterkte nasionale biosekuriteitspogings:

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 23rd of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Exodus 39:43: ”Then Moses looked over all the work, and indeed they had done it; as the Lord had commanded, just so they had done it and Moses blessed them.” They had completed the task. They had done the work of the building of the tabernacle of God in the desert and Moses blessed them. Then we go to the gospel of Mark 14:16:”So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.” We're talking today about doing a good job for the Lord. We've got to give the Lord Jesus the best, not the second best, not the leftovers. The Lord sent Peter and John to prepare a place for the last meal that He would have on earth. The Lord Jesus told them where to go and what to do but they did it with excellence, just like they built the tabernacle with excellence. I want to say to you today that you and I must do things for God with an excellent spirit.Now, I want to tell you a little story. Many years ago, when I was a fairly new preacher, I felt led to go to Cedarville in Kwazulu-Natal, to book the town hall and to have an outreach meeting. A very dear friend of mine said to me, ”There's only one man who can do that for you. He's an unbeliever, but he's an exceptional organiser, and this man will do it, but I'm not sure whether he'll accept the proposal because he's not a Christian.” Anyway, miraculously, my friend approached him and he said, ”Yes, I'll think about it. Where does this guy stay?” That's me, and he told him the address and where the farm was. He arrived on the farm in a very big, fancy Mercedes-Benz. He got out of the car, I said, ”Would you like to come and have a cup of coffee? I've been expecting you.” He said, "No, thank you, I'm very busy.” He said, ”What's your name?” I told him who I am, and he said, ”I will organise it for you.” I said, ”Is that all there is to it?” He said, ”I'll do everything,” and out he drove, and he did an incredible job of preparation and by the way, he gave his life to Christ in the middle of that outreach, and he became a preacher himself, him and his dear wife. They had a little caravan and they drove all over the Eastern Cape, preaching the gospel and I asked him many many years later, ”Mike, why did you accept that invitation when you didn't even know who I was?” He said, ”Because I drove onto your farm and I saw the fences were straight, the road was nicely prepared, the maise looked fantastic, the cattle were fat and I thought, I will do this job.” We need to do a good job because it makes a good impression. Don't give God your second best, and do everything you do as unto Him. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye

'n Generaal-majoor van die polisie, Mary Motsepe, het die Madlanga-kommissie vertel sy was nie bewus daarvan dat dossiere oor politieke moorde in KwaZulu-Natal na die Misdaadintelligensie-hoofkwartier gestuur is vir ouditering nie. Sy het getuig sy het in Maart vanjaar op 'n informele wyse die eerste keer daarvan gehoor. Motsepe het bevestig sy het later uitgevind beamptes het die dossiere afgehaal, wat toe in die kluis van 'n nasionale kantoor in Gauteng geberg is:

Die polisie en sy misdaadbestrydingsvennote het gesamentlik beslag gelê op nagemaakte en onwettige goedere ter waarde van meer as 30 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand tydens onlangse landwye arrestasies. Polisiewoordvoerder, Amanda van Wyk, sê oor die afgelope twee weke het multidissiplinêre polisiespanne lasbriewe vir deursoeking en beslaglegging bedien op winkels en bergingsfasiliteite in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng en die Wes-Kaap. Sy sê dit het gelei tot die beslaglegging van meer as 800 000 nagemaakte en onwettige items:

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 11th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Romans 9:14-15: “What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”I am sure you will agree with me - I am so very happy that it is the Lord, our God, who determines our future at the end of the day - upholding fairness, justice and honour. I am so pleased that when I get to Heaven, there is nobody who is going to judge me apart from my Heavenly Father, because we men are so fickle. What does that mean? Well, I know that young man says, “I don't know that word.” Well, today we are hunting with the hounds and tomorrow we are running with the hares. That is how man is, but God is sovereign and steadfast. His “yes” is yes and His “no” is no. He is a compassionate God and a merciful God. All we have to do, even today, is to call upon Him. Don't try and make your own plans, seek the Lord and He will take care of everything. It happened in my own life, I don't know how many times. If it wasn't for God intervening at the 11th hour, I would have been totally lost. Yes, I have been through some severe testings. There have been times when I said, “Lord, where are you? This is not fair.” But at the end of the day all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purposes. (Romans 8:28) Remember that story about that wonderful Zulu preacher, William Duma, he walked very closely with Jesus. He was getting a ride on a bus in the sugar cane fields of KwaZulu-Natal. In the middle of the trip, he felt the Holy Spirit say, “Get off the bus”, so he pulled the emergency cord, and the bus driver screamed to a halt, and he said, “What is wrong?” He was very angry, and the people in the bus didn't understand. There was no bus stop, there was no town in sight, just sugarcane fields. And this little man, a giant in the faith, said, “I have to get off the bus.” And the bus driver said, “Well, get off the bus.” He took his little suitcase, he stepped off the bus, stood on the side of the road, the bus roared off, dust everywhere, and he stood there and he said, “Lord, well I am here. Why am I here?” Do you know that the bus went around the corner and hit another truck, and if William Duma had been sitting where he was, he would have been crushed to death. God has mercy and compassion on you and me. Today, remember He will not let you down. Jesus bless you and have a lovely day,Goodbye.

Die ANC is diep bekommerd oor noodoproepe deur 17 Suid-Afrikaanse burgers wat tans vasgekeer is in die konflikgebied in die Donbas-streek van Oekraïne. Volgens berigte is sestien mans van KwaZulu-Natal en een uit die Oos-Kaap gelok om by gewapende magte in die Rusland-Oekraïne-konflik aan te sluit, onder die dekmantel van winsgewende werksgeleenthede. ANC-woordvoerder Mahlengi Bhengu waarsku Suid-Afrikaanse burgers teen deelname aan buitelandse gewapende magte of die verlening van militêre bystand aan buitelandse regerings sonder magtiging:

Los Angeles-based artist Liza Lou is widely known for introducing beads as a contemporary fine art medium. Lou's persistent experimentation has challenged hierarchies and helped to redefine previously marginalized terms such as craft, labor, the feminine, and the decorative. Reviewing her groundbreaking Kitchen (1991–1996) at the New Museum in New York, Roberta Smith wrote, “…this radiant piece effortlessly annihilates any barriers between art and craft, [and] proves unequivocally… that quality is where you find it and will not be denied.”¹In the two and a half decades since Kitchen, Lou's oeuvre has expanded to include numerous room size sculptures, including Back Yard (1996–1998), a 500-square-foot work comprised of 250,000 pieces of beaded grass; Trailer(1998–2000), a forty-foot-long mobile home with a glittering film noir interior; and Security Fence (2005), a chain link and razor wire fence enclosure covered in silver-lined glass beads that both attracts and repels, transforming a symbol of confinement.In 2002, Lou was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship and moved to KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, where she operated an art studio and women's advocacy program from 2005–2020. There, Lou explored the capacity of beads to stand in for the paint medium in a body of Minimalist woven works. For example, The Waves (2013–2017) comprises an installation of over one thousand woven white cloths which cover gallery walls from floor to ceiling. Through the process of weaving, each cloth is “painted” with the residue of natural oils from the artist and her assistant's hands. In 2020, Lou returned to her solo practice in Los Angeles and began a series of abstract, gestural oil paintings on woven, glass-beaded cloths. Lou and Zuckerman discuss living in a state of wonder, meditating, bending the light, endurance, labor, repetition, focusing on beauty, God, the intersection between fine art and craft, suffering and pain, truth and who is “with you!”
