Slavery played a significant role in the early history of Paarl, Western Cape, particularly during the 17th and 18th centuries under Dutch and later British colonial rule. Enslaved people—brought mainly from East Africa, Madagascar, India, and Southeast Asia, as well as Indigenous Khoisan people—were forced to work on farms, vineyards, and in households, forming the backbone of the local agricultural economy. Their labour was central to the development of Paarl's wine and wheat industries. Despite harsh conditions, enslaved communities preserved and blended cultural traditions, languages, and spiritual practices that continue to influence the region today. The legacy of slavery in Paarl remains visible in its social history, cultural expressions, and the lived experiences of descendant communities long after emancipation in 1834. Hybré van Niekerk, a self-taught Historian and Culture tourist guide from Paarl, tells is more.

In this interview sponsored by Progressive Administration, MD Thomas Van Zyl, lists the benefits of voluntary liquidation - as opposed to deregistration of a company. He explains the process and its timeline, and shares interesting case studies. Van Zyl also reflects on the dangers of being in the liquidation business - especially in the wake of the assassinations of Cloete Murray and his son, as well as that of Bouwer van Niekerk. “We have liquidators that are threatened on a daily basis. I was on the phone this morning with a friend of mine who's a liquidator and he received a death threat in an unrelated, totally different matter. And now you take these things quite seriously and it's nerve-racking. It certainly is.” Van Niekerk further reveals details about the biggest case currently being handled by Progressive Administration, the Ponzi scheme matter involving HGG Financial Group. Van Zyl, whose mother worked in the Master's Office and whose father was also a liquidator, has useful advice for those who face liquidation - voluntary or otherwise.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Phillip van Niekerk, editorial director of Scrolla Africa, about how US political rhetoric is dangerously misrepresenting the realities on the ground in Nigeria. After President Donald Trump claimed there is a “Christian genocide” underway, echoing the kind of distorted narratives once used about South Africa, tensions have escalated. Trump’s recent threat of military action against Abuja, amid ongoing violence from radical Islamist groups like Boko Haram, risks inflaming divisions and oversimplifying a complex conflict. Van Niekerk warns that this American distortion of African realities endangers Nigerians across faith lines and undermines genuine efforts for peace and stability. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

President Cyril Ramaphosa goes to the US in the next few weeks to address the United Nations General Assembly. But will his trade negotiators currently in Washington have made enough progress by then to allow Ramaphosa to fly from New York to Washington to sign a trade deal that significantly reduces the crippling 30% tariffs US President Donald Trump has imposed on imports from South Africa? Former South African newspaper editor Phillip van Niekerk, now living in Washington, thinks a deal may be on the cards. “But, you know, South Africa has really dropped the ball (diplomatically in the US) And this goes back a long way. This doesn't, doesn't start with the Trump administration. It doesn't start now, in 2025. There's deep relationships between South Africa and the United States that back a long, long way.,” Van Niekerk tell Peter Bruce in this latest edition of Podcasts from the Edge.

In the latest edition of the NdB Sunday Show, Chris Steyn talks to Renaldo Gouws, former parliamentarian, industrial psychologist and podcaster. Joining the chorus of outrage over President Cyril Ramaphosa going to Zimbabwe and praising their Land Reform programme, he says: “…there's one president that deserves to be kicked out as soon as possible, that would be Squirrel RamaMampoer”. Lamenting the assassination of insolvency lawyer Bouwer van Niekerk, he says: “…it's just reached a point where these individuals need to almost wear bulletproof vests to protect themselves. But once again, because of the syndicates that we have, because of the government that we have, crime thrives, criminals are protected, and the people that want to blow the lid on corruption are ultimately the ones that are executed because that is what happened.” Gouws dissects the race scandal at Stellenbosch Municipality where the HR manager was recorded making a case for the exclusion of white men. Meanwhile, he is not surprised that US President Donald Trump has declined an invitation to the upcoming G20 Summit in South Africa. “There's just been this constant attack from South Africa towards the United States. And ultimately, we are dealing with somebody that is far more powerful than us. And look, I understand that if we stood on principle, then that could be a valid reason. But what principle are we standing on?” Gouws also has something to say about the attacks on independent podcasters and alternative media

A quick shout out, this being the modern equivalent of a tip of the hat to Richard, who has made a significant donation to help me host this series. I was flabbergasted when receiving the Paypal payment. We have communicated over the years so this is just to say, thank you from the bottom of my heart Richard. When I'm next in Ireland, I promise to buy you a couple of rounds of St James' Blessing. What's this? A cacophony of digging? Must be significant. The date is somewhere in March 1867. A month after young Erasmus Jacobs had found an interesting stone near Hopetown near the Free State Border, but also near the newly formed Transvaal and Griqualand. The world of diamonds swirls with myth and legend, fiction, fact. Diamonds glitter with dangerous promise — alluring but transient in their fortunes, hard as truth, and just as capable of cutting those who reach for them unprepared. The rock that was found at Hopetown was placed on the table of the Cape Assembly shortly thereafter by Sir Richard Southey, the Colonial Secretary with the words “Gentlemen, this is the rock on which the future success of South Africa will be built…” Before Southey's dramatic flourish, the initial response from officialdom was disbelief. For as long as anyone could remember, and this went all the way back to the VOC in 1660s, there had been rumours of great mineral treasure in the north. A kind of disinformation campaign was launched by Jan van Riebeeck because from the time of his arrival he expressed belief in the possibility of a successful search for the traditional golden realm of Monomotapa. It was imperative to drum up more cash for the new tavern of the seas, and he was trying to convince the VOC of the exaggerated value of their new outpost. And women in South Africa were taking notice, which probably from a 21st Century point of view appears somewhat unlikely. Mary Elizabeth Barber had an important role to play in South Africa's geological science. The year 1867 was characterised by drought, and a severe depression made worse by reports that the completion of the Suez Canal would ruin all trade with the Cape. So it wasn't a moment too soon, so to speak, that Diamonds were discovered. Nearly two hundred years had passed since van Der Stel's memorable expedition across what he called de Groote Rivier, the Gariep, the Orange. IT was on the Orange River, sixty kilometres above its junction with the Vaal River, that a village sprang up. Hopetown. By all reports a thriving little settlement, with a number of farms dotted along the river banks nearby. The Koranna and the Griqua lived nearby, at the towns of Pniel and Hebron. Switch to 1867. Picture the scene, sheep and goats, Erasmus Jacobs were doing what Boer boys did, he was roaming the veld, playing on the edge of the river. Here were garnets with their rich carmine flush, the fainter rose of the carnelian, the bronze of jasper, the thick cream of chalcedony, agates of motley hues, rock crystals shining in the light like beckoning stars. Lesser stones, not diamonds, nor valuable gems. From one of these multi-coloured beds Erasmus and his siblings filled their pockets with stones thinking they could play a game of ducks and drakes. For the uninitiated town based gaslight grazer, ducks and drakes is the game of skimming stones. Whomever skims the stone the furthest or with the most hops, wins. Simple game, but when you have no toys, stones are your friends. Luckily for the future of South Africa, Erasmus decided against skimming the diamond, and took it home. There it joined a pile of other shining stones he'd collected like a magpie. It was odd, this stone, and his widowed mother Mrs Jacobs mentioned it to a neighbour, the farmer Meneer Schalk van Niekerk.
