Die polisie- en Gevangenisdiensvakbond, Popcru sê hy neem met minagting kennis van die oneerlike en opruiende opmerkings van die DA oor sogenaamde inmenging deur die vakbond. Popcru-woordvoerder, Richard Mamabolo, sê dit gaan oor die tugoptrede teen die lede van die BBP-beskermingseenheid toegewys aan adjunkpresident Paul Mashatile.

Deputy President Paul Mashatile has denied owning a multimillion-rand Constantia mansion, saying the property belongs to his son-in-law and is privately owned. This comes after he listed two luxury homes in Constantia and Midrand in Parliament's latest Register of Members' Interests, raising eyebrows nationwide. The properties, valued at a combined R65 million, have reignited public concern over transparency and wealth among politicians. Mashatile, who earns just over R3 million annually, insists there's nothing untoward. This is the subject of our Sunday Morning Discussion and to discuss this Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Zwelinzima Vavi, SAFTU'S General Secretary, Rise Mzansi Chief Whip, Makashule Gana and Professor Zwelinzima Ndevu, Director of the School of Public Leadership at Stellenbosch University ..

Liebenberg word strafregtelik aangekla. Die forum se woordvoerder, Dennis Bloem, waarsku Mashatile se voortgesette teenwoordigheid in die amp skend die vertroue en respek van die adjunkpresident se posisie:

President Cyril Ramaphosa is “a prisoner of his own party secrets”. So says former double agent and Mandela spy, Brad Steyn, who was Neil de Beer's brother-in-arms. Steyn - who is now an independent security expert - gives the backstory to Ramaphosa's rise and reveals the role played by Police Minister Senzo Mchunu - now on special leave. Hailing the bravery of SAPS whistleblower General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, Steyn describes how other police generals were burnt when they spoke truth to power. He expresses concern that incoming Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia is “just another cadre deployment”. Commenting on deepening factions in the African National Congress (ANC) as top members jockey to be the party's next leader, Steyn labels Deputy President Paul Mashatile an “absolutle nightmare” - and says: “what we are witnessing isn't democracy, it's survival and contest for the corrupt elites… and every move is shadowed by dirty money, spy games, and fears of prosecution”. As for the raging diplomatic war between the US and SA, he says: “South Africa is punching way above their diplomatic weight and way below our ethical belt… we've weaponised transformation into a tender cartel and now the world's pulling back the curtain - and you can't blame them.” He fingers BRICS as a “big, big obstacle” and says it is “not a moral alliance”, but “an opportunistic economic bloc…built on double standards and dirty deals, back ends…bribes.”

Sizekhaya Holdings, which won an eight-year licence from Trade and Industry Minister Parks Tau in May 2025, includes Bellamont Gaming among its shareholders.

Trade and Industry Minister Parks Tau was “surprised” by the links of Deputy President Paul Mashatile to the new Lotto licensee appointed by him at the end of May. So says Toby Chance, the Democratic Alliance (DA) spokesperson on Trade, Industry and Competition, after the Minister was questioned today. “Minister Tau didn't appear to be aware of it, which raises serious questions of due diligence in the Lottery adjudication process.” Chance says there are lots of unanswered questions “and unfortunately, it's a classic case - yet again - of how State Capture and corruption works. It's a dubious connection between politicians, business people and public officials. which has led to the downfall of so many of our institutions.” Chance adds that the corruption charges laid against the Deputy President by the DA over a year ago are still pending. “And so I think that what Mr. Tau is able to uncover, if he does go ahead with this investigation into Sizekhaya's shareholding, could be the beginning of a slippery slope for the Deputy President.”

Mashatile het die Nasionale Raad van Provinsies toegespreek en gesê die nasionale dialoog is nie 'n regeringsgeleide geleentheid nie, maar 'n gesamentlike poging om die land in 'n verenigde, inklusiewe samelewing te herbou:
South African Deputy President Paul Mashatile, in an interview with FRANCE 24's Georja Calvin-Smith, denied President Donald Trump's claims of a “white genocide” in South Africa. Responding to Trump's scheme to welcome white South Africans to the US as refugees, Mashatile said, “If they want to be refugees, it's their business. But they can't bad-mouth the country.” Pretoria is also looking to expand its diplomatic ties with Paris. Mashatile said that while relations with the US are positive and valued, Africa's powerhouse isn't putting all its eggs in one basket.

In today's BizNews Briefing, Alec Hogg unpacks a wave of major developments - from ASP Isotopes' remarkable rise from Pelindaba labs to NASDAQ and a pending JSE debut, to the DA's renewed push to oust Johannesburg's mayor. He also covers the uproar over Deputy President Mashatile's bodyguards, Afrikaners seeking asylum in the US, and promising investment insights featuring Pick n Pay, Boxer, Apple and Disney. Plus, signs of a thaw in US-China trade tensions and the local implications.
Ian Cameron, the Chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, has been the target of a virulent attack by The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (POPCRU) for labelling as “thugs” Deputy President Paul Mashatile's VIP Protection officers who were involved in a “brutal” assault on “innocent” civilians next to the N1 in Johannesburg in 2023 - but were acquitted following an internal disciplinary hearing - despite video evidence. “In a parliamentary context, as part of my constitutional duty to do oversight, I'm not going to allow any union to make me look or seem or feel like just being a rubber stamp that needs to simply approve anything they say or do. There's something very wrong with the process that was followed here and it's critical for us to dissect it.” As for the mysterious deaths of four police officers whose bodies were found in the Hennops River recently, Cameron says: “I do find it suspicious, and it's not to cast doubt on any part of an investigation or anything like that, but it is an extraordinary kind of event….So it would be very interesting to understand more of the depth and context as to what exactly those members were involved with.” Cameron also gives an update on the biggest issues his committee is currently grappling with, including the proposed regulatory amendments of PSiRA that “in essence mean that in a very arbitrary way, a security company can lose its function overnight”.
In his latest Sunday Show, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM) gives BizNews viewers his take on Deputy President Paul Mashatile's pledge to protect the R100 billion Transformation Fund from corruption, the acquittal of his VIP Protection Officers of assault in an internal police disciplinary hearing - despite video evidence; POPCRU's call for Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Ian Cameron to be removed as the Chairperson of the Police Portfolio Committee because he called these bodyguards “thugs”. De Beer casts a Vote of No Confidence in President Cyril Ramaphosa following his launch of the second phase of Operation Vulindlela. “He cannot deliver… if you…look at the past 10 years where this man has basically had the reign of this country, it's a disaster.” De Beer laments the “mass economic emigration” of South Africans, not just Afrikaners poised to leave for America in the coming days. Meanwhile, he vows to stay in South Africa - with a call to remove the African National Congress (ANC), “this treacherous government, and the people that continue to slaughter the carcass of such a good country” by beating them at the ballot box. “…we can't go on like this; it's not possible”.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) is calling for a comprehensive review of the South African Police Service's internal disciplinary regulations following the acquittal of Deputy President Paul Mashatile's VIP protectors. The officers were caught on video assaulting civilians, yet an internal SAPS disciplinary committee found no wrongdoing. Although a court case against the eight VIP Protection Officers is still ongoing, the DA insists that no one is above the law.Elvis Presslin spoke to Lesiba Thobakgale, Spokesperson of the South African Policing Union (SAPU)...

Adjunkpresident Paul Mashatile sê ekonomiese regstelling en transformasie het praktiese stukrag gekry deur verskeie wette, ondermeer die Wet op Breedgebaseerde Swart Ekonomiese Bemagtiging van 2003, soos gewysig in 2013. Hy sê dit bly 'n noodsaaklike deel van die land se ekonomiese landskap. Mashatile sê oor die afgelope 22 jaar het die beleid asook wetgewende en regulatoriese instrumente rondom swart ekonomiese bemagtiging ontwikkel, om die uitdagings en geleenthede aan te spreek wat 'n inklusiewe ekonomie vir alle Suid-Afrikaners bevorder:
Adjunkpresident Paul Mashatile sê Suid-Afrika wil werkskepping, die bevordering van geslagsbeleid, en billike toegang tot geleenthede die middelpunt van die G20-dialoog maak. Mashatile sê Afrika moet die voortslepende uitdagings van ekonomiese ontwikkeling, politieke onbestendigheid en swak regering aanspreek. Hy sê Afrika kan ontwikkeling versnel deur digitalisering, kunsmatige intelligensie en nuwe tegnologieë:
In the latest edition of The Sunday Show, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), slams President Cyril Ramaphosa attempts at “peacemaking” between Russia and Ukraine, saying he “couldn't even keep peace in the GNU” and “can't even keep his NEC together”. As for his upcoming meeting with US President Donald Trump, De Beer says: “Trump's got balls. Cyril's got none. Hy het rosyntjies. (He has raisins)”. De Beer describes the alleged assasination attempt on Deputy President Paul Mashatile as “shooting a full-grown elephant bull on the backside, on the ass, with a pellet gun”. He also looks at the current state of the GNU; does a post-mortem on the VAT “fiasco; dissects the spin and bluster put out by African National Congress (ANC) SG Fikile Mbalula; and laughs off the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) call for the fall of Oriana, saying “…they couldn't even do the fall of Brackenfell”. De Beer also uses the latest cases of corruption - and “an animalistic attitude towards gluttony” - to rally a taxpayers' revolt: “…can you imagine one morning, a citizens national group of more than 10 million…decide: No more money. No more funding”.
John Maytham is joined by Mbasa Mvenene, Political scientist and Lecturer at Walter Sisulu University, to unpack the increasingly visible campaign by Deputy President Paul Mashatile for the ANC’s top position.

In the latest Sunday Show with Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), speaks about Budget negotiations threatening the Government of National Unity (GNU) as Deputy President Paul “Slimy” Mashatile is rumoured to be leading talks with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) for support that would see the Democratic Alliance (DA) left out in the cold. De Beer laments everything in South South Africa that is “moer toe", including SOEs, municipalities and the SANDF. He talks about the US' latest strike against South Africa, and reveals how he would fix the SANDF; but says SOEs, ‘which there is no more saving of”, should be sold off to the private sector. Meanwhile, he counts on next year's municipal elections to produce new leadership to save bankrupt, non-performing municipalities as the ANC appears incapable of self-correcting. “They have shown themselves not capable and they have had 30 years of trying to be capable and they have absolutely not performed… if the saving of the ANC in the short term has now been the destruction of the country in the long term…That is another debate to be had.” He also gives his take on the Constitutional Court's decision not to hear AfriForum's appeal that chanting “Kill the Boer” is not hate speech - and calls on South Africans to be more sensitive on what is socially acceptable.
Adjunkpresident Paul Mashatile sê terwyl die Onteieningswet kan seker maak dié van wie se grond weggeneem is, word vergoed, moet die proses volgens wet geskied. Die regering het tans ʼn agterstand van 5 600 grondeise van 1998, waarvan slegs 300 per jaar afgehandel word. Mashatile het op vrae in die Raad van Provinsies bewerings van die Amerikaanse administrasie ontken dat die Onteieningswet bedoel is om witmense se grond af te vat:
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.
In his keynote address at BNC#7 in Hermanus, South Africa's Deputy President Paul Mashatile unpacked the ongoing efforts of the nation's Government of National Unity (GNU). Reflecting on the nation's economic journey, he outlined the Government of National Unity's (GNU) ambitious plans to tackle poverty, inequality, and unemployment through structural reforms, inclusive growth, and job creation. From land reform to combating corruption and navigating global trade challenges, Mashatile emphasized collaboration across sectors to build a prosperous, equitable South Africa by 2030 and beyond. Following his speech, Deputy President Mashatile engaged in a lively Q&A session with BizNews founder Alec Hogg. Addressing leadership challenges, he emphasized the strength of the GNU through open dialogue and compromise. Mashatile staunchly defended constitutional freedoms, dismissed speculation about aligning with radical parties, and outlined efforts to combat corruption and boost economic growth. From Gauteng's revival to coalition lessons from the 2024 elections, he underscored a people-first approach to transform South African lives.
In the latest Sunday Show with BizNews, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), rages about “the ultimate embarrassment and shame” of South Africa's Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool getting expelled from the United States for race-baiting. “… this is while he's sitting in the USA, where he is, no doubt, one of the few people that…needs to calm this American fire that's burning…Well, he just blew it.” De Beer also dissects the speeches of some of the top speakers at the past week's BizNews Conference: He slams Deputy President Paul Mashatile for speaking about fighting corruption with dockets hanging over his own head. “When you speak in that manner, you have to have credibility…Heaven forbid he does become the Number One.” De Beer has rare praise for Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie as “one of the loudest flag-wavers” of the Government of National Unity (GNU). “I'll tell you after again seeing him, his speech and his enlightenment of the crowd, I might start to like Gayton McKenzie.” De Beer hails the Democratic Alliance's (DA's) Helen Zille for delivering the payload with her opening address in which she spoke about the challenges of being in the GNU. “But…she echoed many a sentiment: this is the only option that we have.” De Beer also shares his theory that the State's increased “focus” on certain outspoken personalities could have led to billionaire Rob Hersov not coming out “firebrand, accusational and lightning” in his speech as usual. “He nearly became a diplomat…Anti-ANC as always, pro-GNU, but very calm. Maybe a once-in-a-lifetime delivery.”
In the first Sunday Show of 2025, Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), comments on the opening moves of 2025 by politicians like President Cyril Ramaphosa, Vice President Paul Mashatile, former Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) MP Dr. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi and US President-Elect Donald Trump. Dissecting President Ramaphosa's speech this weekend, De Beer concludes that “the ANC is starting to face reality - and stark reality”. He slams Vice President Mashatile's “absolute idiotic move” to accuse the Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Western Cape of having no regard for the poor while standing in front of a rubbish heap in an ANC's councillor's ward. De Beer, who is also a Councillor in the City of Cape Town, describes how the City sometimes has to send the police to escort its rubbish trucks. De Beer weighs in on the big loss to the EFF of the “great mind” of Dr. Ndlozi who was “the wind that was carrying the EFF air” in Parliament. De Beer also marvels at US President-Elect Donald Trump's survival of yet another legal challenge to head for his second inauguration - and warns that South Africa's Government of National Unity (GNU) should notbe surprised if America said “we do not like your stance in the Middle East and we do not like what you have done - and you will have pressure from us to change your attitude”.
ActionSA het die Openbare Beskermer, Kholeka Gcaleka, versoek om adjunkpresident Paul Mashatile te ondersoek oor 'n geskenkte diamant van die bedrogbeskuldigde, Louis Liebenberg. Liebenberg staan tereg op meer as 40 aanklagte en het die diamant onder verdagte omstandighede geskenk. ActionSA-woordvoerder Athol Trollip sê die party bevraagteken Mashatile se etiese nakoming en verbintenisse met Liebenberg en eis deursigtigheid om korrupsie te bekamp.
In this episode of the Sunday Show with BizNews, Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), slams Deputy President Paul Mashatile for not declaring a diamond gifted to his wife by Ponzi accused Louis Liebenberg; warns that Democratic Alliance Federal Chair Helen Zille knows where's the nuclear button to implode the Government of National Unity (GNU); and calls President Cyril Ramaphosa “spineless, gutless” and without backbone,”watermelons” and “rugby balls” for redeploying Minister Thembi Simelane. Discussing the deportation this weekend of the killer of former South African Communist Party (SACP) leader Chris Hani, De Beer comments on speculation that it was an “inside job” and that some members of the African National Congress (ANC) were part of a plot to use the Right Wing to dispose of him. He also expresses outrage over the costly training of Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi's “AmaPanyaza” who are “suddenly goose-stepping in the format of Russia and of China”. As for the R90 billion rand municipal debt to ESKOM, De Beer warns: “if we don't get corporate, economic, soluble good governance in the municipal areas, we are dead. We are not going to make it.”
