The Patriotic Alliance, PA met with the ANC last night to discuss reinstating PA Deputy President Kenny Kunene as a member of the mayoral committee (MMC) for Roads and Transport in the City of Johannesburg. Kunene was sworn in as a councillor last week Friday following his suspension after he was found at the home of murder accused, Katiso "KT" Molefe during a police raid. Elvis Presslin spoke to ANC Greater Johannesburg Regional Coordinator, Mr. Sasabona Manganye

ActionSA in Gauteng is calling on residents to boycott the Patriotic Alliance in next year's elections if Kenny Kunene is reinstated as Johannesburg's MMC of Transport. Kunene stepped down as MMC and councillor in July after being found at the home of murder accused Katiso Molefe during a police raid. He was also suspended from PA activities. Last week, PA leader Gayton McKenzie announced that a law firm had cleared Kunene of any wrongdoing. McKenzie has threatened to withdraw the PA from the Government of National Unity and all municipal coalitions by tomorrow if Joburg Mayor Dada Morero does not reinstate Kunene. Kunene was re-sworn in as a Johannesburg city councillor last week. For more on this we joined by ActionSA Joburg Regional Secretary, Lebo Mokoka

Lester Kiewit speaks to author and political commentator, Dr Ebrahim Harvey, about Sport, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie demanding his pal Kenny Kunene be reinstated to the Joburg mayoral committee.

Proponents of the Government of National Unity are hoping to see it complete its full term, but cracks are again beginning to show in the ten-party pact. The Patriotic Alliance is threatening to pull out of the GNU, and is even prepared to lose its ministerial position, if its Deputy president Kenny Kunene is not reinstated in his position in the City of Johannesburg as MMC for Transport. The party has cleared Kunene of wrongdoing after he was found at the Sandton house of murder-accused Katiso KT Molefe, at the time of his arrest. PA leader Gayton McKenzie has even vowed to work with the DA if the party's marriage with the ANC doesn't work out. Ntlantla Kgatlhane has more

Abroad, Israel's strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar ramps up Middle East tensions. In business, Anglo American and Teck's $50bn copper mega-merger shakes up global mining. Back home, Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie stirs controversy, and Parliament erupts as the Sports, Arts and Culture Minister storms out after a fiery EFF clash.

In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, elections analyst Wayne Sussman gives the backstory to gunmen taking control of a municipal council in Northwest where different factions of the African National Congress (ANC) are backing different mayors. “…this crazy scenario of the rival factions having gunmen in the municipality, gunmen near a council chamber, near the engine of this municipality, is greatly concerning, not just for our democracy, but also for service delivery in South Africa,” Sussman says. Furthermore, at least 148 municipal officials have been murdered since 2018 - and two by-elections in the space of seven days are because of assassinations. “… people resort to literally killing their opponents,” he says. Sussman gives an in-depth analyses of the by-election results of the last two rounds with trends showing that the Patriotic Alliance continues to “do a lot of damage” to the ANC, but that its support remains “absolutely rock solid" in Limpopo and in the Eastern Cape. Meanwhile, the Democratic Alliance had a “morale boosting" victory in the Northern Cape.

Patriotic Alliance leader and Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, has accused the South African Human Rights Commission of defamation. The Commission found prima facie evidence of hate speech in McKenzie's past social media posts, which were flagged as offensive. McKenzie called the findings premature and politically motivated, saying they harm his reputation. Elvis Presslin spoke to Legal Analyst, Advocate Modidima Mannya

Bongani speaks to Dr Ntsikelelo Breakfast, Political Analyst, about a whirlwind week in South African politics that felt more like a drama series but with consequences that shape the nation’s future.New research suggests the ANC may retain control of only Limpopo and the Eastern Cape by 2029, with Mpumalanga and the Free State potentially slipping into coalition territory. Malusi Gigaba says this week’s national dialogue should’ve been delayed to avoid becoming another “talk shop,” pointing to the country’s struggle with translating talk into tangible action. Meanwhile, Trade Minister Parks Tau promises a revised trade offer to the US, with hopes pinned on meaningful economic impact. And in a defiant moment, Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie refuses to apologise for past racist posts, even if President Ramaphosa himself were to ask. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

The ACDP has strongly condemned a viral video falsely portraying the classified Coloured community in a degrading and incestuous light, calling it racist, defamatory, and rooted in colonial-era stereotypes. The Open Chats team has since issued an apology , which many critics deemed inadequate. Meanwhile, the Patriotic Alliance has opened a criminal case, the DA approached the Human Rights Commission, and civil society has labelled the remarks as hate speech. Elvis Presslin spoke to ACDP leader in Gauteng Bishop Dulton Keith Adams

The Patriotic Alliance says it has laid criminal charges against Open Chats Podcast hosts; Mthokozisi Methula and Sinothando Kama, following their racist remarks aimed at the Coloured community.

The Patriotic Alliance (PA) scored a shock win last night over the Democratic Alliance (DA) in a Paarl in a ward where it got 43% of the vote after getting only 1% there in 2021. Elections analyst Wayne Sussman tells BizNews: “…this means that Gayton McKenzie and the Patriotic Alliance are edging closer and closer to the City of Cape Town. If they can win seats off the DA in the DA stronghold of Mossel Bay, in places like Amstelhof Paarl, what can they do to the Democratic Alliance in the City of Cape Town? So, I would sense that there's great concern for the DA at DA headquarters today.” The PA win came despite the suspension of PA Deputy President Kenny Kunene after he was found at the Sandton home of a murder suspect. Sussman says: “ I think that this will have no impact on the PA in the Western Cape or the Northern Cape or the Eastern Cape. However, in Gauteng, this could present a challenge… …to the PA amongst its Black voters.” In other by-election results, Sussman comments on the African National Congress (ANC) seeing its vote share fall to 37% in a ward in the traditional stronghold of Sebokeng. “So this is major turbulence, major upheaval in a core Gauteng township. And I believe that this basically could be a harbinger of things to come in the next local government elections.”

Donald Trump lashes out with an F-bomb over Israel-Iran ceasefire breaches, sparking global concern. Paul Mashatile faces scrutiny over alleged Lotto licence meddling, while DA youth leaders warn MP Liam Jacobs may regret his defection to the Patriotic Alliance. Finance Minister Godongwana's proposal for full state funding of political parties draws fire from Neil de Beer, calling it “DoF Moment No. 2.”

The shock defection from the Democratic Alliance to the Patriotic Alliance of Liam Jacobs has opened a can of worms. In this interview with BizNews, interim DA Youth Federal Leader Ndipiwe Olayi describes the reasons Jacobs put forward as “really unfair and untrue”. He recalls being with Jacobs the day before he made the announcement when “he was actually celebrating how the DA has been performing”. Olayi notes that in Jacobs's live social media appearance “he was a bit manic - and it was hysterical to be very honest… And I think he will come to regret that decision.” Oyali also outlines what it takes to rise to the highest office in the DA Youth; his own track record in local government; his future politicas aspirations - and the vision of the DA Youth to deal with especially rampant youth unemployment. He has harsh words for the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) where “board members and individuals that are employed in the structure are employing cronies aligned to the ANC (African National Congress) Youth League. And we find that this billion-ran budget, if not more, because it gets a lot of investment from the private sector as well, it's mismanaged and misused.”

In today's BizNews Briefing, Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein defends Israel's pre-emptive strike on Iran amid alarming nuclear threats. Iranian-born economist Dr Iraj Abedian warns of a long, bitter conflict ahead. Donald Trump demands Tehran's evacuation as global leaders gather at the G7.

The Patriotic Alliance (PA) says it has noted what it calls Al Jama-ah's desperate publicity stunt to attempt to open criminal charges against its MPs who travelled to Israel in April this year, with other MPs from the DA and ACDP. The PA says this sets aside how ridiculous this is since no laws were broken during this trip. This comes after AL-JAMAH this week opened a case against 9 MP's who visited Israel in April this year. To discuss this further Elvis Presslin spoke to Leader of AL-JAMAH, Ganief Hendricks....

A delegation from South Africa's Patriotic Alliance is visiting Israel this week on a trip organized by South African Friends of Israel (SAFI).

John Maytham is joined by Daily Maverick Associate Editor Ferial Haffajee to unpack her latest article on South Africa’s coalition government . Together, they explore three potential scenarios for the country’s Government of National Unity (GNU) – from an uneasy ANC – DA alliance straining under mutual distrust, to a rebooted coalition without the DA that brings in newcomers like ActionSA and Build One South Africa (BOSA), and even a populist partnership with the EFF in the mix.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GOOD Party Secretary General, Brett Herron says members of parliament who are part of the Government of National Unity seem confused about whether they are members of government or the opposition. Herron says this follows what he describes as a 'secret' trip by members of parliament in the GNU to Israel. He further alleges that the four MP's include two from the Democratic Alliance and another two from the Patriotic Alliance. Herron further questions the motive for the trip considering South Africa's posture in relation to the conflict in Gaza. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to GOOD Party Secretary General, Brett Herron

Political parties have expressed mixed reactions to the postponement of the Budget speech to March 12. The EFF and other opposition parties have criticized the delay, viewing it as a sign of government instability. In contrast, the Patriotic Alliance and the DA have welcomed the postponement, praising Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana for prioritizing the people's interests and preventing a harmful 2% VAT increase. To dissect the unfolding drama, Elvis Presslin spoke to Political analyst, Nkosikhulule Nyembezi

Die leier van die Patriotic Alliance, Gayton McKenzie vra wraak teen die M23-rebelle wat verantwoordelik is vir die dood van 14 soldate van die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag in die Demokratiese Republiek die Kongo. McKenzie het tydens 'n dringende Parlementêre debat sy medelye met die gesneuwelde soldate se naasbestaandes betuig. Hy het lede van die Parlement wat beweer hulle is opperbevelvoerders gekritiseer en daag hulle uit om saam met die soldate te gaan veg:

In a conversation with Alec Hogg, Marius Roodt from the Institute for Race Relations discusses surprising shifts in South Africa's local by-elections. With record-breaking voter support for the DA in Stellenbosch and Emalahleni, and an unexpected win for the Patriotic Alliance in George, these results reveal changing voter loyalties. Roodt delves into the role of proportional representation and its impact on both national and local politics.

In this week's episode of the Sunday Show, United Independent Movement (UIM) President Neil de Beer talks about the possibility of the African National Congress (ANC) regaining a majority in 2028 by taking credit for the good work being done in the Government of National Unity (GNU) by ministers, mostly of other parties. However, he also warns the ANC that it risks a “palace revolution” unless it deals with the corruption in its ranks. He referees the latest spat between Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen and President Cyril Ramaphosa who now has Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie jumping to his defence.
