Experts Warn Gangsterism in Gauteng Has Reached National Crisis Levels by Radio Islam

The United Democratic Movement, UDM says human trafficking has become a national crisis in South Africa, with thousands of lives destroyed through sexual exploitation, forced labour and debt bondage. The party says the country's severe unemployment rate has created a recruitment tool for traffickers, who prey on desperate individuals seeking income or work abroad. Recent reports have exposed the scale of this crisis, with cases of human trafficking discovered in Johannesburg, Durban, and other parts of the country. Traffickers are using social media to lure victims with false promises of lucrative jobs, only to exploit them for sex or forced labour. Elvis Presslin spoke to Acting Secretary General of the United Democratic Movement, Zandile Phiri

Today on the C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we charge straight into the fire—illegal immigration. Not for the faint of heart. Not for the culture of comfort. But for bold believers who refuse to be silent.This isn't about politics. This is about biblical mandate. About seeing every immigrant as a soul made in the image of God—and refusing to let lawlessness or elitism define our response. We call out garbage, we expose hypocrisy; we stare down dehumanizing language and spineless silence.The world will mock. The critics will howl. But Jesus is still King, and His Word still draws the line between truth and compromise.Will you shrink back—or stand up? What will you do when your faith collides with the cultural firestorm?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in the everlasting Word.Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. (Romans 13:1-2)Key Takeaways:05:42 - When you say that immigrants exist to, quote, wash dishes or pick fruit. You're not praising their work ethic. Instead, you're degrading their humanity. You're telling an entire class of people, you basically exist to serve me. It's the same evil spirit that drove slavery. It's the same elitist mindset that says, I'm better than you, and your value is in what you do for me and people like me. That's not love. That is not advocacy. That's dehumanization. And it's sinful and unbiblical. 07:26 – Whether these folks cross the river legally or illegally, their life has value. Their story matters. But that doesn't mean that their actions are right. And believe me, we're going to get to that coming up here later in the podcast. But for now, I just want to say this: If we as Christians cannot look at an immigrant and say, That's a man or woman created by God with purpose, with value, and with dignity, then, man—we've lost the gospel. We've replaced it with nationalism, not Christianity.31:18 – The immigrant's worth is not based on how well they can scrub a toilet. Their value is not measured by how fast they can pick a strawberry. Their identity is not rooted in your convenience. Their value is rooted in the image of God. Period. James 3:9 rebukes those who curse human beings who have been made in God's likeness. That includes when you curse them with low expectations, when you curse them with degrading language or curse them with exploitative policies. So what should Christians do in the face of this? We should speak out. Which is exactly what we're doing on this episode of the C-Suite for Christ podcast. Connect with Paul NeubergerWebsite

In this explosive monologue, the host dives into the deafening silence from both mainstream and conservative media surrounding the details of a major spending bill—and what that silence might be hiding. From shocking U.S. credit downgrades to the quiet return of quantitative easing, this episode warns of looming economic instability and a failing financial system propped up by illusions. But it doesn't stop there. The narrative takes a darker turn, exposing what the host calls one of the greatest human trafficking scandals in American history—300,000 missing migrant children and the Biden administration's alleged role in losing them. This episode demands you look where others won't and ask the questions the media refuses to.

TW: Discussion of violence against womenWe are only 41 weeks into the year — which means we have surpassed the much-quoted statistic of one woman being killed every week in Australia. By the time this podcast is edited and published, it's probable that another woman will have been killed by an intimate partner. Around the world, a woman is killed every 11 minutes.It was with this heavy heart that Soaliha Iqbal spoke to Kate Fitz-Gibbon, a Professor at Monash University, who has dedicated her life to researching the causes of (and solutions to) violence against women in Australia.“2024 has been a horrific year on top of horrific decades for women's safety. But this year does feel particularly challenging,” she tells Missing Perspectives.Fitz-Gibbon is an internationally recognised expert in domestic and family violence, femicide, perpetrator interventions, and the impacts of policy and practice reform in Australia and internationally. She is the chair of Respect Victoria, and also a published author. Her most recent book, Our National Crisis: Violence Against Women and Children, highlights the alarming reality of domestic violence in Australia, where we haven't made nearly as much progress as we should have in the fight against men's violence.This is a really important and timely episode - have a listen and let us know what you think.

The Text: Judges 20

Your sin can become a national crisis. Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. This week, we are reading 1 Samuel 4. I've titled this chapter "Misusing Divine Power." In the first few verses of Chapter 4, we discover that the Israelites were at war with the Philistines. They engaged in two battles sustaining devastating losses, first 7000 dead, then 30,000 dead, until the Philistines claimed victory, captured the Ark of God, and then sent the Israelites running. A man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head. When he arrived, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city and told the news, all the city cried out. When Eli heard the sound of the outcry, he said, “What is this uproar?” Then the man hurried and came and told Eli. — 1 Samuel 4:12-14 This is a tragic moment for Israel. In a short devotional, it's tough to capture how devastated God's people might have felt. The unnamed Benjamite makes the 20-mile run retreating from the battle and shows up wearing all the signs of a man in mourning “with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.” The only way to capture the feeling of this moment is to imagine that you receive a call in the next few moments that your spouse or child was killed and then multiply it by 37,000. That's the message this man delivered to this city: 37,000 souls lost on the field of battle, including sons, husbands, and fathers. But let's not forget that all of this stemmed from the apathy of one man. Eli, the last in a long line of Judges, allowed his sons to continue to act in disobedience until finally, they did the unthinkable. They took the Ark of the Covenant from the House of the Lord into battle, which led to slaughter. Disobedient actions concern God, but so does disobedient inaction. Eli had plenty of time to deal with his sons' disobedience, but he didn't. He was apathetic. He took no action, and his inaction was counted as disobedience. This devious sin had devastating consequences for him, his family, his legacy, and 37,000 families who were also impacted. Listen carefully: your sin never only affects you. Disobedient action and disobedient inaction have consequences for everyone. Here's the application. Don't be spiritually apathetic to God today. Address your secret sin and stop hiding it. Address the issue in your marriage that you still need to address. Address your child who is acting in sin. Move from disobedient inaction into obedient action and rally those around you to godly action. If you keep putting it off, that situation will have the same devastating consequences in your life as it did to Eli, his family, and the nation of Israel because your apathy never affects only you; it affects everyone around you.

House Speaker Mike Johnson recently unveiled an extensive foreign aid package worth $95 billion, stirring up intense discussion within the House. This aid package allocates $61 billion to Ukraine, $26 billion to Israel, $8 billion to the Indo-Pacific regions, and substantial funds for humanitarian assistance in Gaza. Although the substantial foreign aid is poised to help several critical regions for American interests, it offers no financial assistance for the ongoing crisis at our southern border. This glaring omission has ignited a firestorm of debate, especially among more conservative Republicans, who expected a different approach from Speaker Johnson. It seems that Johnson had initially addressed the necessity of separating the Ukraine and Israel funding, but he decided instead to bundle the aid together. This u-turn on his initial declaration has left many questioning his decision-making process and prompted demanding answers from their leader. Coming from the conservative stronghold of Louisiana, Johnson felt compelled to clarify his decision to his fellow lawmakers. He penned a letter outlining the rationale behind incorporating all the aid into a single package, which would soon be accessible to his colleagues on the House Rules Committee.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last summer, Lifeline transitioned away from a 10-digit national suicide prevention number to the three-digit 988 line in hopes of making it easier for people experiencing a mental health crisis to call and text. One year after its launch, guest host Dan Gorenstein of the Tradeoffs podcast talks about the crisis line's successes and where it's fallen short.

It's been one year since 988, the country's new mental health crisis line, went live with hopes of transforming crisis services in America. So far, call volumes are up, wait times are down, and reviews are mixed.This week, we check in on what's working, what's not, and what's next for 988.Content warning: This episode includes mentions of suicide.
