In this episode, Break80 sits down with South African golf star Christiaan Bezuidenhout for a wide-ranging conversation about the path that took him from a small golf course in Delmas, Mpumalanga, to the biggest stages in professional golf. Christiaan opens up about picking up the game at age four, his rise through South Africa's amateur and Sunshine Tour ranks, and the pivotal years he spent as part of the Ernie Els & Fancourt Foundation, where a young Ernie Els played mentor, coach, and financial backer to the future PGA Tour pro. We talk about what it meant to learn the game under "The Big Easy," how that relationship shaped his career, and what it was like to later stand alongside Els on the International Team at the Presidents Cup. From there, we dig into his current life on the PGA Tour — his approach to competing week to week against the world's best, standout performances at the majors, and what's next on his goals list. Christiaan also shares the deeply personal side of his story: his lifelong experience with stuttering, and his partnership as an ambassador for the Arthur M. Blank Center for Stuttering Education & Research, where he's used his platform to raise awareness and support others navigating the same challenge he once faced.

Lieutenant General Arthur Adams, Northwest, 34 years of service as well. Lieutenant General Jan Scheepers, Limpopo, 38 years of service. And Lieutenant General Apapia Modise of Mpumalanga, 37 years of service. They are not people who are parachuted into those ranks.” As for the latest "heartbreaking "testimony at the Madlanga Commission, Dr Max says it is “damaging not only for Andrea Johnson, but to IDAC as a whole, the NPA, but most importantly, to government because government put these systems in place to ensure that they address the corruption in this country and we as citizens got hope that government is doing the right thing to put these systems in place and also to appoint people they believe got the necessary skill and commitment to serve our country without fear or favour. And it is totally unacceptable, and I think there must be consequences to that effect.” Lastly, Dr Max shares highlights from his autobiography which is being launched this month: “A Life That Refused to Bow”.

The case against businessman Joe "Ferrari" Sibanyoni and his co-accused has been postponed to 1st of September in the Delmas Magistrates court in Mpumalanga. This is for the defence to secure legal representation. All the accused have been granted bail of 70-thousand rand each. Sibanyoni, Daniel Masilela, Philemon Msiza and Bafana Sindane handed themselves over at the Delmas Police Station this morning where they were processed before appearing in court. They are charged with extortion and two counts of money laundering. The matter was re-enrolled today after it was struck off the roll at the Kwaggafontein Magistrate's Court last week when the prosecutor failed to appear in court. Elvis Presslin spoke to SABC reporter Nonhlanhla Ntshingila

Die Nasionale Rampbestuursentrum het al drie regeringsvlakke versoek om hul steun vir rampbestuurspanne te verskerp en gebeurlikheidsmaatreëls te versterk. Dit volg nadat die ongunstige weerstoestande in sommige provinsies as 'n nasionale ramp geklassifiseer is, weens stortreën, storms en skadelike wind in die Wes-Kaap, Noordwes, Vrystaat, Oos-Kaap, Noord-Kaap en Mpumalanga. Thabo Khupari van Nasionale Rampbestuur sê hierdie klassifikasie plaas nou die primêre verantwoordelikheid op die regering:

Weather, some say, is fickle. Of course nature is just nature but when you're on high ground, the mountains, and the weather moves in, the temperature drops in minutes and wind shifts. It is a dangerous place and that's during mid-summer. Perhaps summer is the most dangerous time to be caught in a mountain storm, particularly in South Africa because there's more moisture and freezing sleet and snow sweeps over the summit, overwhelming hikers in shorts and T-shirts. During January and February 1881, the weather along the Natal escarpment near Volksrust and Majuba was characterized by high rainfall, frequent thunderstorms, thick mist, and cold nights. This period was at the height of the summer rainy season, creating wet, muddy conditions that significantly impacted military operations during the First Boer War. The weather at times was bitter, just like the Boer sentiment. Laing's Nek gravesite was desecrated in 1969 when Afrikaner Nationalists under cover of dark, blew up a large Cross that had been erected over the graves of Royal Navy sailors who'd perished during the Battle of Laing's Nek in February 1881. Such was the depth of historical bitterness. Memories run deep. The last known Boer of the First Anglo-Boer war, Jacob "Jaap" Coetzer died in the same year as the exploding cross — 1969 - showing just how long veterans of war can live amongst a population that has no clue about their past. A vet of the first Anglo-Boer War had lived to hear Beatles music. Coetzer was 15 year's old when he joined Commandant Piet Joubert's commandos in the area of Laings Nek, and was a survivor of the next major clash, Majuba. Not that Jaap Coetzer was in any way linked to the desecration. Laing's Nek lies on the N11, a quick 20 minute drive through this pass and you ascend from the rolling hills of KZN into the highground of Mpumalanga — or the Transvaal as it was in 1881. In January 1881, the British force under Major General Sir George Pomeroy Colley moved off from Newcastle after his ultimatum to the Boers had been ignored. Despite his intelligence and administrative competence, his battlefield record would reveal a critical weakness: a tendency to apply textbook European tactics in environments where they were increasingly obsolete. The Boers, by contrast, were armed with modern Westley Richards breech-loading rifles and other similar breech-loading firearms, which allowed for faster and more accurate fire than the older muzzle-loading weapons that had shaped earlier British tactics. Many Boers were also skilled marksmen, accustomed to hunting and irregular warfare, and they fought from concealed positions—rocks, ridges, and scrub—rather than in formal lines. This combination of mobility, cover, and firepower was going to be devastating. Colley led 1216 officers and men including five companies of the 58th Regiment, 5 companies of the 3rd Battalion of the 60th Rifles, 150 cavalrymen, a party of Royal Navy sailors with two 7 pound guns, and a mounted unit of Royal Artillery with four 9 pound guns. Major General Colley was determined to revenge the previous month's debacle at Bronkhorstpruit. The Boers setup four main laagers on the escarpment north east of Majuba. Their main camp was based at a point south of the Standerton Road, about 10 kilometers from Wakkerstroom. From here, flanking the two roads which approached from Newcastle, their patrols could ride out to watch the Buffalo River fords, as well as Laing's Nek. Colley had moved off from Newcastle on the 24th January, after two days of heavy rain held up his wagons. On the 25th they struggled across the Imbazane River, and on the 26th, crossed the Ingogo River. British patrols saw Boers moving on the pass, and on the evening of the 27th, noted that Laings Nek was occupied in force. More heavy rain fell that day, and a thick mist drifted across the landscape. On the morning of the 28th, Colley led his force out of the laager.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Prof Rebecca Garland, an atmospheric scientist at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, about the strange sulphur-like smell that many Johannesburg residents have noticed in the air over the past few days. Described by many as a “rotten egg” odour, the smell is often linked to gases such as sulphur compounds or hydrogen sulphide. While the source may not necessarily be nearby, scientists explain that pollution can travel hundreds of kilometres through the atmosphere, carried by wind and weather systems from industrial regions such as the Highveld and parts of Mpumalanga into Gauteng. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

AfriForum sê die regering se goedkeuring van Rand Water se 800 miljoen rand belegging in 'n Zanzibar-waterprojek is 'n bewys van sy misplaaste prioriteite. Die organisasie waarsku terwyl miljoene in die buiteland bestee word, worstel inwoners van Gauteng, Mpumalanga, die Vrystaat en Noordwes steeds met ernstige watertekorte. Marais de Vaal van AfriForum noem die besluit polities-gedrewe en vra die regering om eers plaaslike waterkrisisse aan te pak:

Verskeie staatsdepartemente in Mpumalanga gaan weens bedrog met die bou van skole ondersoek word. Nog miljoene dosisse bek-en-klouseer-entstof word binnekort in die land verwag. Die aktivistegroep, Action Society, sê misdaadstatistiek weerspieël nie die ware toestand in die land nie.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Suikerrietkwekersvereniging doen 'n beroep op president Cyril Ramaphosa om dringend in te gryp om die suikerbedryf te red. Die organisasie waarsku Tongaat Hulett se moontlike likwidasie bedreig 18 000 produsente, 40 000 werksgeleenthede en landelike ekonomieë in KwaZulu-Natal en Mpumalanga. Die voorsitter van die vereniging, Higgins Mdluli, vra die regering om meulens aan die gang te hou, suikerinvoerpryse te hersien, suikerbelasting te skrap en plaaslike produksie te ondersteun ten einde werksgeleenthede te beskerm en ekonomiese bestendigheid te verseker:

Die Suid-Afrikaanse suikernywerheid staar 'n ernstige krisis in die gesig met Tongaat Hulett wat nader aan likwidasie beweeg. Die maatskappy se meulens, raffinaderye en verbouing van suikerriet ondersteun duisende klein- en grootskaalse produsente in KwaZulu-Natal en Mpumalanga. Die voorsitter van die SA Suikerrietkwekersvereniging, Higgins Mdluli, waarsku die ineenstorting bedreig die lewensbestaan van duisende suikerrietprodusente. Mdluli doen 'n beroep op die regering en Tongaat se reddingspraktisyns om dringend die voortsetting van die meulbedryf te verseker en produsente se inkomste te beskerm:
