“..We need to reach a point where the people as individuals and as a population are stronger than governing systems, and those governing systems can't be in a position to control; they need to simply govern, build infrastructure, fix roads - not have control and power over people.” That is the call from Lauren Evanthia, the founder of the Organic Humanity Movement (OHM) on the NdB Sunday Show with Chris Steyn as they talk about major developments in the past week: two ward councillors being gunned down in the space of an hour on voter registration weekend; former President Jacob Zuma firing his once powerful daughter, Duduzile, and MKP former spokesperson, her close ally; President Cyril Ramaphosa pondering the Democratic Alliance's (DA's) Cabinet reshuffle requests that sees its former leader, John Steenhuisen, demoted to a deputy minister's post; and Deputy President Paul Mashatile - who is on a working visit in China - seemingly ready to step into presidential shoes while Ramaphosa is doing everything possible to avoid impeachment. They also talk about more corruption being exposed in the South African Police Force (SAPS) with twenty police officers in the Western Cape charged with alleged links to the taxi industry, and Nelson Mandela Bay being ranked the 3rd most violent city in the world.

The Democratic Alliance is leading a protest rally today in Nelson Mandela Bay's Northern Areas, outside Gelvandale Police Station, The party says it demands urgent priority action against what they call rampant gang violence and drug-dealing gangs that have turned communities into war zones. DA Northern Areas Constituency Leader Yusuf Cassim says residents feel abandoned after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced in his State of the Nation Address the deployment of the military to support police in fighting gang violence but only in the Western Cape and Gauteng, snubbing the Eastern Cape despite years of DA calls and parliamentary resolutions for intervention. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to DA Northern Areas Constituency Leader Yusuf Cassim

The fight against abalone poaching along the Nelson Mandela Bay coastline is a growing issue that requires innovative solutions. Dark-Water Ops, with its unique approach of utilising trained dogs, has made significant strides in combating this illegal activity that involves international syndicates. Leading the pack is Zeus, a Belgian Malinois shepherd that is so good at his job that he can sniff out abalone in frozen cow offal. In this interview with BizNews, Operations Director Rassie Erasmus explains how this elite private security unit that has had successes including a massive 100-ton bust aims for prevention over pursuit to combat a lucrative illegal trade second only to sardines in value that is driven by demand from East Asian markets.

A big battle has begun to overcome the “coalition chaos and instability that has allowed Nelson Mandela Bay to be hijacked by criminal networks”. In this interview, Retief Odendaal, the Democratic Alliance's mayoral candidate, tells Chris Steyn that the City has the dubious record of having the most irregular expenditure of any municipality - R28 billion, while 10,000 street lights are not working, not a single engineer is left in the electricity department - and despite being one of only two metros in the country that actually still has some cash reserves, it can't deliver services. Since 2009, the City has had 48 municipal managers and 12 mayors. “If you take the municipal managers, it equates to about one every quarter. People ask me, but why does that happen? And I say, well, it's to facilitate looting because one loots from the State when there is absolute chaos.” Odendaal, urges citizens to give the DA the votes it needs for an outright majority as he outlines the measures needed to turn the Metro around. “…the good news for South Africans, not just in Nelson Mandela Bay, but in every other broken city and municipality in South Africa is that bad governments can be removed, corrupt people can be voted out of office.”

In his latest interview with BizNews, Ian Cameron, the Chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police and the Democratic Alliance's Police Spokesperson, talks to Chris Steyn about the Madlanga Commission and Parliament Ad Hoc Committee hearings and some of the key players, including former Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and suspended Deputy National Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya. As for tenderpreneurs like Cat Matlala and Hangwani Maumela, Cameron states: “The only way for organised crimes and these types of persons or entities to flourish is when the State is involved at a very senior level… It worries me that some people implicated are still in their positions or mentioned or continuing to work.” Cameron also details the horror findings on his recent oversight visit to Nelson Mandela Bay where the Flying Squad only has one vehicle, a single cab bakkie with over 300,000 kilometers. As for irregular expenditure of over R650 million in SAPS in the past financial year, Cameron says it “points to a much more deeply rooted corruption-and-fraud network that has been built in supply chain management and procurement”. He charges that “all of these things” add up to a picture of “leadership collapse- and urges: “…if we don't replace a large number of the so-called leaders, nothing can change on the ground”.

On 29 August, SANPUD (South African Network of People Who Use Drugs) hosted “Overdose in Plain Sight: Uncovering South Africa’s Hidden Crisis” for International Overdose Prevention Awareness Day, highlighting the often-overlooked overdose crisis in South Africa. On the Breakfast Show, Yolaan Andrews, Programme Manager for Key Populations and Human Rights at NACOSA (National AIDS Council of South Africa), spoke to Lester Kiewit about NACOSA’s pilot survey of 1,037 participants, which revealed that 37 percent of overdoses were intentional and 84 percent accidental. She shared insights from the Overdose Management Pilot Programme in Nelson Mandela Bay and uMgungundlovu, including peer-driven naloxone distribution, community-led rapid response strategies, and the “Buddies Model” that fostered peer support. Yolaan also discussed challenges such as stigma, misperceptions about naloxone, and limited engagement with law enforcement, as well as lessons learned and recommendations for scaling these life-saving interventions nationally.

Just over a decade ago, Nelson Mandela Bay narrowly avoided completely running out of water following a devastating drought. A few years later, Cape Town faced its own Day Zero, but a massive water-saving campaign kept the Mother City from the brink of disaster long enough for last-minute rain to eventually save the day. Hard lessons were learnt, not least the need to save what little water is left. But with history now repeating itself in Gqeberha, it appears many if not all of those lessons have been forgotten, perhaps even ignored. 

Change is coming to South African politics, former DA federal chairman and now Eastern Cape Provincial Chairman for ActionSA, Athol Trollip, tells Peter Bruce on this edition of Podcasts From the Edge. The thing is to get the ANC out of power. But Trollip is no starry-eyed idealist. Only coalitions can feasibly replace the ANC at the next election in 2024 and he knows probably better than anyone how difficult coalitions can be. Forced by conscience to fire his corrupt deputy in Nelson Mandela Bay, Trollip was himself then upended when his coalition partner turned on him. So how to get it right? Does the public have a right to know in advance who would coalesce with whom? Or to be consulted afterwards? Will independent candidates make a difference in 2024?
