Nes plaaslik is brande ook 'n risiko in Suid-Afrika. AfriForum sê grondeienaars, boere en gemeenskappe moet voorberei vir 'n moontlike strawwe winterveldbrandseisoen. Die waarskuwing volg na 'n vooruitsig deur die nasionale rampbestuursentrum wat 'n hoë brandrisiko in dele van Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, die Oos-Kaap, Gauteng, Limpopo en Noordwes toon as gevolg van warm, droë en winderige toestande. Tarien Cooks van AfriForum sê bogemiddelde temperature, sterk wind, digte plantegroei en moontlike El Niño-toestande kan die risiko van vinnig verspreidende veldbrande in die komende maande verhoog:

President Cyril Ramaphosa has filed papers in the Western Cape High Court, Cape Town seeking to interdict the commencement of the impeachment process pending the determination of his review against the section 89 independent panel report. Ramaphosa - in May - launched a review into the report which found that he MAY have a case to answer regarding the February 2020 robbery of foreign currency at his Phala Phala farm in Limpopo. The review bid - which is set to be heard in September - seeks to invalidate the section 89 report itself, as well as any steps taken by the National Assembly pursuant to the report.

We spoke to IFP Chief Whip, Nhlanhla Hadebe.

The South African National Parks says the Kruger National Park remains one of the country's critical destinations. Spanning nearly two million hectares across Limpopo and Mpumalanga, with its eastern boundary running along the Lebombo Mountains bordering Mozambique, Kruger remains one of the world's largest protected areas. Today (30 May ) marks 100 years since the Park was proclaimed as the country's first national park. In 1926 the Kruger National Park was transformed from a game reserve to a tourist attraction that prioritises nature conservation. To date the Kruger attracts nearly two million visitors annually and has retained its standing as a top African safari destination. It has become a must visit destination for locals and visitors alike. Bongiwe Zwane caught up with Willie Aucamp, Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment

National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza has released the list of MPs nominated to serve on the Phala Phala impeachment committee. Most parties met Friday's deadline, while the ANC submitted its nine members and one alternate over the weekend. The PAC and GOOD party opted out, citing that their sole MPs serve in the executive. The PA and Al Jama-ah have confirmed their participation. The Committee follows a Constitutional Court ruling requiring Parliament to probe prima facie evidence against President Cyril Ramaphosa over the 2020 robbery on his Phala Phala farm in Limpopo.We spoke to MP and DA Spokesperson on Justice & Constitutional Development, Advocate Glynnis Breytenbach, who has also been nominated to serve on the Phala Phala impeachment committee

A 13-year prison sentence handed to an illicit cigarette trafficker in Limpopo is being hailed as a potential turning point in the fight against tax crime. Tax Justice South Africa says the ruling should set a national precedent, as illicit trade continues to cost the country an estimated R100 billion a year. To discuss this further we spoke to Tax Justice South Africa founder, Yusuf Abramjee.

Former President Thabo Mbeki says the Phala Phala saga is a personal issue for President Cyril Ramaphosa, not an ANC matter. Speaking to SABC news specialist correspondent, Sophie Mokoena, Mbeki welcomed the Constitutional Court's decision to set aside Parliament's 2022 vote against impeaching Ramaphosa. The case relates to allegations of 580,000 US dollars stolen from the President's Limpopo farm. Mbeki argued the ANC should not involve itself in what he described as a private affair. We spoke to ATM Parliamentary Leader, Vuyo Zungula.

The Mahwelereng magistrate's court has postponed the bail application of the paternal grandparents of two- year- old Omphile Sithole, who disappeared from Ga- Mabuela village outside Mokopane in Limpopo. This to allow the defense to verify a newly submitted address that the accused persons will reside at if granted bail. The grandparents, Vinolia Mabuela and Jacob Ledwaba, aged 52 and 55, are facing charges of child neglect under the Child Care Act. The toddler went missing on May 2, 2026, after her grandmother woke up and found the bedroom window open. The search for Omphile remains ongoing, with police appealing to the community for any information. Meanwhile, the presiding magistrate Maureen Ngobeni, postponed the matter to the 27th of May. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC News reporter Katlego Nyoni

Le platine est un métal blanc parmi les plus rares au monde. Il sert à faire des bijoux et il est très utilisé dans l'industrie, notamment automobile. La demande de platine diminue en ce début d'année, et pourtant, à 2 000 dollars de l'once, les cours sont proches de leur plus haut historique. Même si la demande en platine a baissé de presque 10 % au premier trimestre 2026 par rapport à la même période l'an dernier, elle reste largement supérieure à l'offre. Les industriels du secteur s'attendent à ce que, pour la quatrième année consécutive, le monde consomme significativement plus de platine qu'il n'en produit. L'Afrique du Sud, qui représente à elle seule près des trois quarts de la production de platine raffiné, a pourtant vu sa production augmenter de 40 % début 2026. Mais c'est une augmentation en trompe-l'œil qui cache mal un simple retour à la normale après les pluies diluviennes et l'effondrement d'un barrage en février 2025 qui avaient fortement perturbé l'activité minière dans la région de Limpopo, au nord du pays. D'autant qu'à l'inverse, la production a fortement baissé au Zimbabwe et en Russie et reste stable aux États-Unis. À lire aussiAnglo American se sépare de ses mines de platine en Afrique du Sud Forte augmentation du recyclage et baisse de la demande de la joaillerie L'offre est soutenue par le recyclage qui représente désormais près d'un quart du platine mis sur le marché chaque année. Les industriels s'attendent à une progression de presque 10 % en 2026. L'industrie automobile est particulièrement consommatrice : le platine est un composant essentiel des catalyseurs qui servent à filtrer les émissions des véhicules diesel et essence. Les véhicules 100 % électriques n'en ont donc pas besoin, mais les véhicules hybrides qui représentent une part croissante du marché. De manière générale, la demande de platine à usage industriel continue d'augmenter fortement. En revanche, la demande pour le platine à destination de la joaillerie recule de 12 %. Une chute significative alors que le secteur représente un quart de la demande mondiale en platine. Le platine, un produit d'investissement moins intéressant   La baisse de la demande s'explique aussi par le blocage du détroit d'Ormuz. Le platine est utilisé par l'industrie pétrolière dans le processus de raffinage qui permet de transformer le pétrole brut en essence ou en kérosène. Alors que les infrastructures de la région ont été frappées, la demande en platine venue du Golfe a brutalement chuté. Une baisse à relativiser, l'industrie pétrolière ne représentant que 2 % de la demande en platine. En revanche, le conflit au Moyen-Orient a eu des conséquences plus indirectes sur le cours du platine : en raison de la flambée du pétrole et donc de l'inflation, les investisseurs s'attendent à une augmentation des taux d'intérêt qui rend moins intéressants les placements dans les métaux précieux, comme l'or ou… le platine. Et cela commence déjà à se voir dans les portefeuilles des traders et des fonds d'investissement : la demande pour le platine en tant que produit d'investissement a chuté de moitié début 2026. Toutes ces incertitudes et ces tendances contradictoires expliquent que le platine se négocie aujourd'hui autour de 2 000 dollars de l'once, en recul par rapport au pic historique de janvier, mais encore deux fois plus cher que les cours début 2025.

Die minister van Sport, Kuns en Kultuur, Gayton McKenzie, sê die Patriotic Alliance sal nie stem om president Cyril Ramaphosa in ʼn staat van beskuldiging te plaas nie. Die Parlement het ʼn ampsklagkomitee van 31 lede aangestel om te bepaal of hy sy ampseed oortree het. Dit hou verband met die inbraak in 2020 by sy plaas, Phala Phala, in Limpopo waar buitelandse valuta gesteel is. McKenzie sê Ramaphosa neem nie die Artikel 89-paneel se verslag op hersiening om die Parlement te vermy nie:

Guest: Dr Steven Gordon | Human Sciences Research Council Chief Research Specialist for Developmental, Capable and Ethical State South Africa is seeing a sharp rise in both immigration enforcement and migrant insecurity, with coordinated crackdowns across cities and growing fear among foreign nationals on the ground.

As tensions build ahead of the 2026 local elections, Thabo Shole-Mashao speaks to Steven Gordon, Chief Research Specialist at the Human Sciences Research Council, about what is driving this shift and what it means for social cohesion and policy.

Limpopo police say the search for missing two year old girl, Omphile Sithole, is continuing. This as her paternal grandparents are appearing in the Mahwelereng magistrate's court near Mokopane for alleged child negligence. Omphile mysteriously disappeared from the house in which she was sleeping with her grandmother on the 2nd of May. Police say the grandparents were surprised by the child's disappearance and a house window opened on the day she disappeared. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABCNews reporter Katlego Mogale

ActionSA says it has laid criminal charges against President Cyril Ramaphosa in connection with the Phala Phala farm burglary. The party says the charges relate to alleged contraventions of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act, as well as accusations of perjury and fraud. These claims centre on the alleged concealment or underreporting of the amount of money stolen during the 2020 burglary at the President's Limpopo farm. The Presidency has previously denied wrongdoing in relation to the matter, while various law enforcement and oversight bodies continue to face scrutiny over how the case has been handled. We spoke to Lerato Ngobeni, ActionSA Parliamentary Chief Whip and National Spokesperson to unpack the basis of these charges and what they hope will come from the legal process.

ActionSA het strafregtelike klagte teen president Cyril Ramaphosa gelê in die Bela-Bela polisiestasie in Limpopo oor die Phala Phala-skandaal. Dit sluit in oortredings van die Wet op die Voorkoming en Bestryding van Korrupte Bedrywighede, asook bedrog en meineed wat verband hou met verklarings oor die bedrag geld wat in 2020 van sy plaas in die provinsie gesteel is. Michael Beaumont van ActionSA sê Suid-Afrikaners verdien volle aanspreeklikheid en antwoorde:

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê hy sal die verslag van die Artikel 89- onafhanklike paneel op hersiening neem. Die Konstitusionele Hof die Parlement se besluit om nie die verslag oor die Phala Phala-skandaal aan te neem nie, Vrydag ongeldig verklaar. Die paneel het bevind dat Ramaphosa moontlik sy ampseed oortree het rakende sy optrede rondom die inbraak op sy plaas in Limpopo. Ramaphosa het die land by die Uniegebou toegespreek en gesê hy glo die paneel se verslag is gebrekkig:

Santam has partnered with the South African Weather Service to install nine new automatic weather stations aimed at closing observational gaps and improving early warning systems. The stations, now operational in KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Gauteng, Limpopo and Mpumalanga are expected to support more accurate forecasts and disaster preparedness. The SA Weather Service say the collaboration is key to reducing weather-related losses and building community resilience. For more we're joined by Rudzani Malala, Head of Disaster Risk Reduction at the South African Weather Service

Die EFF sê hy was die enigste en volgehoue stem wat aanspreeklikheid eis vir die misdadigheid, geheimhouding en magsmisbruik rondom die Phala Phala-skandaal. Die Konstitusionele Hof sal Vrydag uitspraak lewer oor die saak. Die hof moet beslis of die parlement wettig opgetree het toe dit 'n Artikel 89-paneelverslag verwerp het, wat 'n ampsklagondersoek teen president Cyril Ramaphosa aanbeveel het oor die beweerde diefstal en hantering van buitelandse valuta op sy Limpopo-wildplaas in 2020. Thembi Msane van die EFF sê hulle wag op hete kole:

The EFF will picket outside the Constitutional Court on Friday ahead of the long-awaited Phala Phala judgment. The court confirmed it will hand down its ruling on the EFF's bid to challenge Parliament's 2022 decision not to adopt the Section 89 panel report into the 2020 theft at President Ramaphosa's Limpopo farm. The matter was heard in November 2024 after the panel found the president may have a case to answer. For legal analysis on the matter. We spoke to Dr. Bongani Nkosi, Criminal law expert at the University of Limpopo.

Police in Limpopo have opened a case of kidnapping and housebreaking after a two-year-old girl was taken from her home in Ga-Mabuela village, in the Waterberg District.

ActionSA het die Openbare Beskermer, Kholeka Gcaleka, gevra om die Phala Phala-ondersoek te heropen na die deklassifisering van die Onafhanklike Polisie-ondersoekdirektoraat se verslag. Dit het onthul dat lede van die Presidensiële Beskermingseenheid 'n onwettige parallelle ondersoek gedoen het na die diefstal op president Cyril Ramaphosa se plaas in Limpopo in 2020. Michael Beaumont van ActionSA sê Gcaleka se ondersoek moet fokus op die moontlike aanspreelikheid van personeellede in die Presidensie:

Die African Transformation Movement doen 'n beroep op parlement om 'n onafhanklike paneel te stig vir 'n ampsklag teen president Cyril Ramaphosa oor bewerings van die Phala Phala-skandaal. Die bewerings hou verband met die verslag deur die Onafhanklike Polisie-ondersoekdirektoraat oor die inbraak in 2020 op Ramaphosa se plaas Phala Phala in Limpopo, waartydens Amerikaanse dollars gesteel is. Die woordvoerder van ATM, Zama Ntshona sê die bevindinge, tesame met 'n vorige onafhanklike paneelverslag, gee genoeg rede vir 'n moontlike ampsklag:

Die Nasionale Mynwerkersvakbond het steun uitgespreek vir 'n klasaksie teen steenkoolmynmaatskappye, insluitend South32, BHP Billiton en Seriti Power, namens gemeenskappe wat deur steenkool geraak word. Die vakbond voer aan werkers en nabygeleë inwoners in Mpumalanga en dele van Limpopo ly vir dekades weens onveilige toestande en korporatiewe nalatigheid, wat asemhalingsiektes en omgewingskade veroorsaak. Die woordvoerder van NUM, Livhuwani Mammburu doen 'n beroep op vergoeding vir geaffekteerde gemeenskappe:

Relebogile Mabotja speaks with Jay Malatji, Provincial General Manager for Gauteng, North West and Limpopo at Metropolitan, about the deep cultural significance of burial in South Africa. Far from being a simple logistical process, burial is closely tied to identity, heritage, and a sense of belonging. For many families, being laid to rest in one’s ancestral home remains a non-negotiable final rite one that reconnects the departed with their lineage and community. However, in an increasingly mobile society, honouring this tradition is becoming more complex.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Cyril Ramaphosa het die mediese span geluk gewens wat 'n Siamese tweeling van mekaar geskei het in die Mankweng-hospitaal naby Polokwane in Limpopo. Die identiese tweeling, gebore op 28 Januarie, was aan die buik verbind en het 'n lewer en ander lewensbelangrike organe gedeel. Die delikate operasie van sewe-uur is gelei deur professor Nyaweleni Tshifularo. Ramaphosa sê dis 'n geskiedkundige oomblik vir Limpopo en Suid-Afrika se openbare gesondheidsorgsektor:

ActionSA sê hulle is gereed om regstappe te doen indien enige deel van die gedeklassifiseerde Phala Phala-verslag gesensor word. Die verslag, wat beweerde wanhantering deur die presidensiële beskermingseenheid tydens 'n rooftog op president Cyril Ramaphosa se plaas in Limpopo ondersoek, is uiteindelik oopgestel na meer as 'n jaar van vertragings. Michael Beaumont van ActionSA sê die party sal veg om die waarheid bloot te lê agter die byna 10 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand wat op Ramaphosa se plaas gevind is:

Die Ministerie van Polisie het verduidelik dat die waarnemende minister, Firoz Cachalia, nie by die Onafhanklike Polisieondersoekdirektoraat se ondersoeke of bevindings inmeng of dit lei nie. Dit volg nadat die OPOD-verslag oor die 2020-inbraak by president Cyril Ramaphosa se Phala Phala-wildplaas in Limpopo gedeklassifiseer is. Die verslag was voorheen “Hoogs Geheim”. Die Polisie-ministerie se woordvoerder, Kamogelo Mogotsi, sê Cachalia se rol is streng omskryf en deur wetgewing beperk om OPOD se onafhanklikheid te beskerm:

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?
