In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, elections analyst Wayne Sussman gives the backstory to gunmen taking control of a municipal council in Northwest where different factions of the African National Congress (ANC) are backing different mayors. “…this crazy scenario of the rival factions having gunmen in the municipality, gunmen near a council chamber, near the engine of this municipality, is greatly concerning, not just for our democracy, but also for service delivery in South Africa,” Sussman says. Furthermore, at least 148 municipal officials have been murdered since 2018 - and two by-elections in the space of seven days are because of assassinations. “… people resort to literally killing their opponents,” he says. Sussman gives an in-depth analyses of the by-election results of the last two rounds with trends showing that the Patriotic Alliance continues to “do a lot of damage” to the ANC, but that its support remains “absolutely rock solid" in Limpopo and in the Eastern Cape. Meanwhile, the Democratic Alliance had a “morale boosting" victory in the Northern Cape.
The ANC says it is confident that it will come out more united following engagements by the party's secretary general's office with both Limpopo party chairperson, Stanley Mathabatha and the province's leadership. ANC's SG, Fikile Mbalula has been tasked with getting to the bottom of seeming tensions in Limpopo following a notice by Mathabatha to step aside from his position. Mathabatha cites unethical and an un-ANC tendencies occurring in relation to processes in the holding of the Vhembe and Waterberg regional conferences. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC reporter, Samkele Maseko
ANC in Limpopo has confirmed receiving a letter from its Provincial Chairperson, Chupu Stanley Mathabatha, announcing his decision to step aside. Mathabatha cites concerns over misconduct and unethical behaviour within party structures, particularly linked to disputes at recent regional conferences. His move has sparked mixed reactions, with the ANC Youth League in Limpopo dismissing the letter as unnecessary political drama. The Youth League insists Mathabatha should either fully resign from all his roles or provide leadership during this turbulent period. Elvis Presslin spoke to ANC Limpopo PEC spokesperson, Mathole Jimmy Machaka

Pesquisas arqueológicas em Moçambique estão a mostrar que o país foi uma “zona de charneira” nas movimentaçoes de populações entre a África Austral e a África Oriental na Pré-História. O trabalho está a ser orientado pelo arqueólogo Nuno Bicho que contou à RFI ter encontrado entre “300 ou 400 jazidas arqueológicas com vários períodos”, as mais importantes no Vale do Limpopo, no Vale do Save e junto ao ao Lago Niassa. Nuno Bicho começou as pesquisas arqueológicas em Moçambique há 15 anos. Desde então, o arquólogo da Universidade do Algarve encontrou entre “300 ou 400 jazidas arqueológicas com vários períodos”, nomeadamente no Vale do Limpopo, no Vale do Save e junto ao ao Lago Niassa. “Nós temos várias jazidas arqueológicas que são, digamos, dos últimos 100 mil anos”, ou seja, na Idade da Pedra Lascada, explica o investigador, acrescentando que há um “conjunto alargado de ocupações de várias Idades”. Moçambique é uma peça central para compreender a mobilidade das populações dentro de África e assim ir percebendo melhor o puzzle da evolução humana. Nuno Bicho explica porquê: “A nossa espécie Homo Sapiens aparece há cerca de 300 mil anos em África e move-se no continente africano e, por vezes, saiu do continente africano. Mas do ponto de vista genético, nunca teve resultados evidentes e apenas uma saída de África, da África Oriental, há cerca talvez de 80 mil anos, entre 80 e 60 mil anos, deu resultado para aquilo que somos hoje e espalhou a nossa espécie por todo o mundo. Aquilo que eu, neste momento, estou a tentar perceber, é como é que dentro de África, dentro do espaço do continente africano, se deram essas movimentações que permitiram a saída desse grupo, há cerca de 80 mil anos, para fora de África. Nós sabemos que há principalmente duas áreas muito importantes do ponto de vista de desenvolvimento cultural: uma é a África Austral e a outra é a África Oriental. Nós não sabemos ainda qual é a relação entre as duas e, aparentemente, do ponto de vista genético, parece haver informação que sugere que o grupo que saiu para fora da África veio da África Austral. Portanto, era fundamental perceber-se o que é que acontece entre as duas regiões. Ora, Moçambique é uma das áreas com potencial para se perceber como é que se deu esta mobilidade, esta migração interna ao continente africano e a ligação entre as duas regiões.” Assim, “Moçambique é uma zona de charneira” na conexão de populações que se movimentavam entre a África Austral e a África Oriental na Pré-História. Agora, é preciso perceber quando e como se cruzam. “Vamos proceder a um conjunto de análises, essencialmente de modelação matemática, que juntam os dados que vêm da África Austral com os da África Oriental e tentar perceber exactamente quando e como é que se deu esta passagem entre as duas áreas. Moçambique, naturalmente, estando no meio, é sem dúvida nenhuma, um elemento importante que nos vai permitir perceber esta movimentação e conexão”, acrescenta Nuno Bicho. Nas jazidas arqueológicas de Moçambique encontraram-se materiais dos nossos antepassados porque, geralmente, eram zonas com actividades diárias destes “caçadores-recolectores”. “Aquilo que nós podemos concluir é que muito devido às características dessa cultura material das ferramentas, parece haver uma diferença marcada entre a zona do Niassa e a zona do Save e do Limpopo e, portanto, significa que há áreas de influência cultural que são diferentes. Muito provavelmente do Niassa estão ligadas com Tanzânia e o Malawi (como regiões que se conhecem hoje politicamente), enquanto que as zonas do Save e do Limpopo se encontram mais relacionadas com a África Austral. Isso sabemos. Sabemos que eles utilizavam um conjunto alargado de espécies de animais, não sabemos quais ainda, mas saberemos no futuro através de várias análises. Sabemos que eles utilizavam um conjunto de outras espécies, nomeadamente espécies aquáticas, porque temos um conjunto alargado de conchas de várias espécies nalguns dos sítios arqueológicos. Também sabemos que eles utilizavam a casca dos ovos de avestruz essencialmente por motivos decorativos fazendo contas para colares, etc.” Há três anos o Conselho Europeu de Investigação concedeu uma bolsa de cinco anos ao arqueólogo que promete continuar as pesquisas e a procura de financiamento para prosseguir as pesquisas. Nuno Bicho tem trabalhado, no campo, com alunos de arqueologia da Universidade Eduardo Mondlane. Há artefactos que são tratados nos laboratórios do Departamento de Antropologia e Arqueologia dessa universidade moçambicana, mas há outros que são enviados para Portugal, analisados e depois retornados e depositados na Universidade Eduardo Mondlane. Por enquanto, ainda não é possível fazer tudo em Moçambique. “Não há capacidade financeira para investir em arqueologia, particularmente na Idade da Pedra. Esse é um aspecto. E segundo, a formação ainda é limitada na Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, que é a única universidade que tem arqueologia. Apesar de terem uma licenciatura e haver muitos alunos a terminar todos os anos felizmente - porque isso de facto promove o estudo do património arqueológico e possibilita uma defesa muito relevante - mas depois não tem formações avançadas após a licenciatura. São países externos como Portugal, como a Universidade do Algarve, que permitem fazer esse desenvolvimento. Neste momento, já há perto de meia dúzia de doutorados em Moçambique em Arqueologia. Há 15 anos, quando eu comecei, havia apenas uma pessoa. É muito relevante este trabalho. E não foi só a Universidade do Algarve a fazer isso, há universidades também na Suécia que promovem esse tipo de trabalho. Há vários doutorados na Suécia”, conta Nuno Bicho. O arqueólogo também esteve a pesquisar o mesmo período da evolução humana no Sudão, mas a investigação está, por enquanto, interrompida, no terreno, devido à guerra.
Many African cultures use body parts, claws, teeth and hides in rituals. Vultures are often targeted because their keen eyesight is believed to grant clairvoyance. In Limpopo's Blouberg Nature Reserve, VulPro is raising awareness of vultures' vital role; community involvement and youth engagement have reduced muti‑related killings. CEO Keri Wolter told BizNews that school programmes have shifted young people's attitudes — more now report sightings and value vulture protection. Wolter says vultures uniquely consume diseased carcasses and that her interest began after raising an abandoned chick. She said Vulpro is hoping to use the success of the Limpopo project to other hot spots area of South Africa where there is side-by-side living with culture colonies.

Limpopo Premier Dr. Phophi Ramathuba has dismissed allegations of irregular payments and nepotism at Mogalakwena Local Municipality. The claims surfaced on a social media account allegedly run by Mogalakwena Municipal Manager Morris Montengo Maluleka. According to the post, Premier Ramathuba and Cooperative Governance MEC Basikopo Makamu supposedly directed Maluleka to process suspicious transactions and hire relatives of the two politicians. The account has since been deactivated. Elvis Presslin spoke to ANC Limpopo Spokesperson, Machaka Mathole Jimmy
Bongani speaks to Dr Ntsikelelo Breakfast, Political Analyst, about a whirlwind week in South African politics that felt more like a drama series but with consequences that shape the nation’s future.New research suggests the ANC may retain control of only Limpopo and the Eastern Cape by 2029, with Mpumalanga and the Free State potentially slipping into coalition territory. Malusi Gigaba says this week’s national dialogue should’ve been delayed to avoid becoming another “talk shop,” pointing to the country’s struggle with translating talk into tangible action. Meanwhile, Trade Minister Parks Tau promises a revised trade offer to the US, with hopes pinned on meaningful economic impact. And in a defiant moment, Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie refuses to apologise for past racist posts, even if President Ramaphosa himself were to ask. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

John Luyt is one of the professional hunters that works in the APNR - the Associated Private Nature Reserves of the Kruger National Park. These reserves were setup to incorporate into Kruger National Park and allow for more movement of wildlife. With the dropping of fences, Kruger's burgeoning elephant population has spilled into the APNR, where legal, highly regulated hunting of elephants occurs. The hunting of elephants in this area has gone through significant upheaval since 2021, when Humane Society International put a court interdict in place stopping export of elephant trophies. Today, we get a huge step forward towards returning to pre-2021. John brings Robbie breaking news out of the Limpopo Province of South Africa that now, for the first time in quite some time, international hunters may now hunt nonexportable elephants in the Limpopo Province, along with a history of why this is such a significant clawback of ground after several battles in and out of court.

In this episode, we explore why Kalahari Red goats are becoming the breed of choice for many South African farmers. Join us as we speak to Leroy van de Merwe of Redstag Ranch in Limpopo. From the breed's remarkable adaptability and meat quality to practical advice on breeding, culling, and managing performance.We also bust the myth of the "low-maintenance" goat, as van de Merwe highlights how small-scale and communal farmers can benefit from introducing Kalahari Red genetics to improve productivity and profitability.
In today's episode I am in Conversation with Anita Manyama. We spoke about her upbringing in humble beginnings where she was unable to find real stability due to losing her parents at a young age. As a result this meant that she would live with numerous relatives. Throughout the many transition her goal remained the same: get educated no matter the cost. This is a true reminder that our circumstances do not define us and the ultimate course of our lives is determined by our drive, resilience and perseverance. Anita Manyama holds a law degree from the University of Limpopo.

Die DA sê 155 kinders onder die ouderdom van vyf het sedert Januarie vanjaar in openbare gesondheids-inrigtings gesterf as gevolg van wanvoeding. Volgens die party is die meeste gevalle in Limpopo, Gauteng en KwaZulu-Natal aangeteken. Die minister van Gesondheid, Aaron Motsoaledi, het die statistiek bekend gemaak in sy antwoord op 'n geskrewe parlementêre vraag. Michele Clarke van die DA sê die krisis word vererger deur stygende werkloosheid en lewenskoste:
Minister van Water en Sanitasie, Pemmy Majodina, hersien tans die bevindings van die finale verslag oor beweerde onwettige blokkering van sytakke wat die Middel-Letaba-dam voed. Die ondersoek volg op klagtes van plaasboere en plaaslike inwoners van Limpopo. Die dam is slegs agt persent vol wat huishoudings en landbou negatief beïnvloed. 'n Woordvoerder, Cornelius Monama, sê Majodina sal binnekort optrede aankondig om wettige waterbestuur en -voorsiening in die streek te herstel:
Die polisie het bevestig dat die wit VW Polo wat uit die Hennopsrivier in Centurion gehaal is, aan die drie Vrystaatse polisiebeamptes behoort het wat vroeër die week dood is. Konstabels Cebekhulu Linda, Keamogetswe Buys en Boipelo Senoge het vermis geraak nadat hulle verlede week van Bloemfontein na hul ontplooiingsgebied in Limpopo gereis het. Hul liggame is Dinsdag uit die rivier gehaal. Polisiekommissaris Fannie Masemola sê 'n deeglike ondersoek sal nou gedoen word:
Die polisie het bevestig dat die soek- en reddingspanne stukke van 'n voertuig - insluitend 'n voor- en agterbuffer - by die Hennopsrivier in Centurion gevind het. 'n Polisiewoordvoerder, Athlenda Mathe, sê kenners probeer vasstel of dit met die Volkswagen Polo verbind kan word waarmee die polisiekonstabels Cebekhulu Linda, Keamogetswe Buys en Boipelo Senoge van Bloemfontein na Limpopo gereis het:
Die nasionale polisiekommissaris, Fannie Masemola, het bevestig dat drie van die vyf liggame wat uit die Hennopsrivier in Centurion, Pretoria, gehaal is, dié van die konstabels is wat verlede Woensdag vermis geraak het. Konstabels Linda Cebekhulu, Keamogetswe Buys en Boipelo Senoge het verdwyn terwyl hulle van Bloemfontein na hul ontplooiingsgebied in Limpopo gereis het. Masemola sê die vierde liggaam is dié van 'n administrateur by die Lyttleton-polisiestasie. Die vyfde liggaam is ontbind, en die identiteit kon nog nie bevestig word nie:
All manner of things are going on — thanks to those folks out there who've been sending me notes and support, much appreciated. Episode 220 deals with the start of the Transvaal Civil War, and quite a bit about Paul Kruger's early life. The American civil war was raging in 1862, and there's nothing like a war to trigger innovation — if you excuse the pun. Richard Jordan Gatling patented his terrifying Gatling gun featuring multiple rotating barrels driven by a hand crank, allowing operators to unleash a relentless hailstorm of bullets—up to several hundred rounds per minute. Its distinctive mechanical whirr echoed across battlefields, marking a chilling shift toward modern, industrialized warfare. While undoubtedly efficient, the Gatling gun also embodied a grim reality: the age when technology would reshape combat forever had arrived. Just in time to cause more chaos in the already bloody American Civil War. What is less known these days is that there was another Civil War involving descendants of Europeans, and this was going on in South Africa. The AmaZulu had just wrapped up their own recent Civil War as you've heard. All manner of brutal and uncivil conduct marked this period in South African history, as neighbour turned against neighbour and the bonds of society frayed. The Boer Republics had been riven by conflict since the days of the Voortrekkers, but in 1862 perhaps inspired in part by the American civil War, the Boer Republics went from squabbling to skirmishing. There's no proof that the carnage of the United States directly influenced South Africa, but there is proof that the Boers knew about it. Later, during the apartheid period of National Party Rule, this Transvaal Civil War was deposited in historical file 13, almost expunged, because it contradicted the prevailing political ideology where it was all the whites against all the blacks. Anything that detracted from this nationalist agenda was taboo. The modern architects of African nationalism, too, often reshape the past to suit their narratives, discarding inconvenient histories into their own version of "file 13."Compared to the carnage in America, where an estimated 750 000 people died, the South African version was far less bloody. A few dozen dead and wounded. A handful of skirmishes was the real effect, which took place in what is now Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and the North West Province - but at the same time as the American Civil War which ran from 1861 to 1865. The Transvaal Civil War started in 1862 and ended in 1864. While less gory, it was emblematic of the frontier streak embedded in the first generation descendants of the Voortrekkers. According to the constitution of the Republic, the Hervormde Church was the state church. Its members alone were entitled to exercise any influence in public affairs. Whoever was not a member of the Hervormde Church was not a fully-qualified burgher. Paul Kruger belonged to the Christelljk-Gereformeerde Kerk founded recently, in 1859, by Dr. Postma, at Rustenburg. This church became known in South Africa as the Dopper, or partly Canting Church. The derivation of the word Dopper is not completely clear, but it was believed to have come from the word dop, a damper or extinguisher for putting out Candles.
Described as ‘the first lady of Irish cycling', Dervla Murphy was renowned for her intrepid spirit, and she remained passionate about travel, writing, politics, conservation and bicycling until her death in 2022. In this episode of the Slightly Foxed podcast we have gathered a number of those who knew and worked with Dervla to discuss the life and work of this extraordinary travel writer. Gail Pirkis and Steph Allen, from Slightly Foxed, worked with Dervla during their time at John Murray Publishers. Rose Baring was her editor at Eland Books and Ethel Crowley was a friend and editor of the recent anthology, Life at Full Tilt: The Selected Writings of Dervla Murphy. Together with our host Rosie Goldsmith they discuss Dervla's early years and inspiration, consider the experience of publishing her work and examine her place in the Ireland of her time. Born in Lismore, Ireland, in 1931, Dervla lived there until the end of her life. She was an only child and her parents, who originated from Dublin, encouraged her independence and love of books. Her father – who later became the much-loved Waterford County Librarian ‒ had been involved in the Irish republican movement and had served time in Wormwood Scrubs prison for his activities. Dervla spent her childhood caring for her mother who suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, and then left school at 14 to care for her full-time. When her parents died in 1962 Dervla, at the age of 30, found herself free to travel. She acquired a bicycle and set out on a journey to Istanbul, through Iran and on to India during one of the worst winters in recent memory. This would become the subject of her first, and most famous book, Full Tilt: Ireland to India with a Bicycle, published in 1965. There followed numerous voyages with her trusty steed and 25 more books, including her highly acclaimed autobiography Wheels within Wheels. She won worldwide praise for her writing and many awards, including the Edward Stanford Award for an Outstanding Contribution to Travel Writing and a Royal Geographical Society Award. Dervla took huge risks, mostly travelling alone and in famously austere style, whether in far-flung Limpopo, the Andes, Gaza or closer to home, where she documented the worst of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Battling injury and political circumstance, she immersed herself in the lives of ordinary people caught in the shifting tides of power that dictated the terms on which they lived. To these people, she listened. What resulted was some of the most astute and compelling travel writing of the twentieth century. As the table choose their favourite book of Dervla's, we also have our usual round-up of current reading, including the latest mystery from Kate Atkinson, Death at the Sign of the Rook, the Booker Prize-nominated The Garden of Evening Mists by Tan Twan Eng, and Jon Dunn's monograph on the hummingbird, The Glitter in the Green.
