Where did Elon Musk's epic ambitions begin? In search of clues we return to his sheltered youth in apartheid South Africa, a world engineered for white supremacy. Along the way, we connect the dots between a bizarre White House ambush of South African president Cyril Ramaphosa to teenage Elon's ego-powered quests in video games. Finally, was his “draft dodge” from military service a moral act or an opportunist's exit?Guests in this episode include:Rudolph Pienaar, childhood friend of Elon MuskWill Shoki, South African journalist and writerTopics in this episode include:Donald Trump's Oval Office ambush of President Cyril Ramaphosa with conspiracy theories about an anti-white Afrikaaner farmer genocide, or “white genocide” in South AfricaElon Musk's South African childhood, including his time at Pretoria Boys High School and his approach to fantasy role playing video gamesApartheid and structural white privilege/supremacy The South African Border War, conscription and draft-dodging

By 1876 the Sotho, Tswana, Venda, Pedi, the amaXhosa had all managed to secure for themselves a fairly easy access to firearms. The Griqualand Diamond fields ignited what could be called a small arms race on the veld. There was supposedly an arms embargo on blacks instituted by the British government two decades before, but this was frequently broken. In the Cape colony and Griqualand west diamond fields, the trade in firearms depended on two technicalities. Importers of these weapons had to deposit a bond which indicated to whom they were going to sell the guns. Because the colonies used these bonds or tariffs which is probably a more accurate description, as a source of revenue, the procedure was applied creatively. The second technicality was that Africans needed a magistrates permit to buy guns. Because the demand for labour was so extreme particularly in the diamond fields, this permit system was ignored by most of the miners. The winter of 1876 settled hard across the Transvaal. At night, the frost lay white along the banks of the Steelpoort River, the cattle breath rising like smoke in the early dawn. By mid-morning the sun was sharp, the air brittle, and the mountains to the east seemed to shimmer in their haze. Shimmering today are the minerals mined here, chrome, platinum, vanadium. These are the Leolo mountains, bastion of the Pedi under King Sekhukhune I. Across the valleys his people had built stone-walled settlements, ringed with thorn stockades, their cattle kraals protected by rifle pits dug into the hillsides. To the south, in Pretoria, President Thomas François Burgers prepared his republic for war. He was no soldier—trained instead in theology, prone to long speeches, dressed in sombre black. But he was determined to show that the Transvaal could still assert itself after years of debt, political squabbling, and military vascillation. On 16 May 1876, the Volksraad declared war on Sekhukhune. The long-simmering contest between the Pedi and the Boer republic was about to reach a climax.The Pedi kingdom was no stranger to conflict. Under Sekwati, Sekhukhune's father, they had fought off repeated attacks during the mid-nineteenth century. Their stone fortresses had turned back Boer commandos in the 1840s and 1850s. Sekwati had once been besieged in Thaba Mosega, surviving by ingenuity, patience, and the determination of his people. Just a few weeks later came the episode that etched itself into Pedi memory. Johannes Dinkwanyane, half-brother of Sekhukhune led his people at the settlement of Mafolofolo. They were Christians, linked to missionary networks, yet fiercely loyal to Pedi sovereignty. In mid-July, Swazi forces allied to the Boers descended on Mafolofolo. The defenders fought desperately. After two days of fighting, Johannes was gravely wounded on 13 July and died three days later.By late August the war had collapsed into stalemate. President Burgers' grand promise of quick victory had evaporated among the ridges of the Leolo mountains. The commando had withdrawn, Fort Krugerpos was thrown up in haste, and burghers grumbled about lost time and wasted cattle. The republic was broke, its men unwilling, its president mocked. It was into this void that Conrad von Schlickmann arrived.

This week, the Springboks turned the Pumas into mince, racking up 67 points and leaving rugby fans wondering if Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is secretly a Dan Carter clone grown in a Pretoria lab. Over at Eden Park, the All Blacks and Wallabies treated us to a performance so scrappy it could've been filmed on VHS — but hey, the fortress still stands. And across the world, the Red Roses claimed World Cup glory, fending off a fearless Canadian side.Grab a beer and enjoy

Lobby group AfriForum and the Orania Movement have strongly condemned the vandalism of Afrikaner monuments in Pretoria. The damage targeted a gun barrel and a boot on two Boer warrior statues flanking the Paul Kruger statue in Church Square. This follows the EFF's recent push to remove colonial and apartheid-era statues nationwide. The party has also proposed renaming Kruger National Park in a motion tabled in the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature. AfriForum and the Orania Movement call the EFF's actions an attack on Afrikaner heritage and their right to exist in South Africa. For more we're joined by Joost Strydom, Head of the Orania Movement

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê hy is optimisties dat Suid-Afrika ʼn voordelige handelsooreenkoms met Amerika sal bereik. President Donald Trump het verlede maand ʼn tarief van 30-persent op Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoere ingestel nadat Pretoria versuim het om voor die sperdatum op 1 Augustus ʼn ooreenkoms met Amerika te bereik. Die regering het sedertdien ʼn voorstel vir ʼn handelsooreenkoms ingedien. Ramaphosa het in New York by die Suid-Afrika/Amerika-handels- en beleggingsdialoog gesê onderhandelinge met Amerika vorder goed:

Head of Police Legal Services, General Petronella van Rooyen has called on the Madlanga Commission in Pretoria to prioritize the legal implications of political interference in the South African Police Service. Speaking as the third witness yesterday, Van Rooyen emphasized that addressing these legal aspects could reduce future political meddling. Her testimony follows allegations against Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, who is accused of overstepping his authority by disbanding the KwaZulu-Natal Political Killings Task Team. The commission heard that only the National Police Commissioner has the power to make such structural decisions. Van Rooyen has concluded her testimony. Elvis Presslin spoke to crime expert, Thabang Bogopa

Crime Intelligence Boss, Dumisani Khumalo is expected to testify before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry in Pretoria on Monday.

Die DA doen 'n beroep op die minister van Internasionale Betrekkinge en Samewerking, Ronald Lamola, om die afgradering van Taiwan se skakelkantoor in Pretoria om te keer.

Nagenoeg 3 500 mense is gereed met hulle roosters op Loftus in Pretoria om op Erfenisdag 'n Guinness-wêreldrekord te verbeter. Die plan is om Japan se 2023-rekord van 2 220 mense wat gelyktydig braai, te oortref. 'n Woordvoerder van Guinness Wolrd Record Manchester, Glenn Pollard, het aan Newzroom Afrika gesê deelnemers moet die reëls volg en vermorsing vermy. Hy sê Guinness-amptenare, toesighouers en streng reëls sal toesien dat Suid-Afrika se groot braai hopelik geskiedenis maak:

Die nasionale polisiekommissaris Fannie Masemola sê die taakspan vir politieke moorde het kragtige misdaadsindikate ontbloot, wat deur senior polisiebeamptes beskerm is. Masemola het aan die Madlanga-kommissie in Pretoria gesê die eenheid se ondersoeke het aan die lig gebring hoe georganiseerde netwerke met behulp van hooggeplaaste amptenare in wetstoepassing gewerk het. Hy sê die bevindings het uitgebreide korrupsie in politieke moorde blootgelê en toon ook die sleutelrol wat die taakspan gespeel het om baasbreine agter teikenmoorde aan die lig te bring:

Die minister van Korrektiewe Dienste, Pieter Groenewald, sê hy is verbind tot 'n gebalanseerde, billike en effektiewe paroolstelsel. Die departement het Maandag met 'n tweedaagse nasionale paroolhersieningsberaad by die Kgosi Mampuru-korrektiewe sentrum in Pretoria begin. Altesaam 209 gevangenes wat op parool is, het moord gepleeg en meer as 330 verkragting. Groenewald sê sommige van die probleme sluit in oorbevolking, die samestelling van die paroolraad en rehabilitasie by die fasiliteite:

Die nasionale polisiekommissaris Fannie Masemola het aan die Madlanga-kommissie van ondersoek in Pretoria gesê die minister van Polisie het geen gesag om in te meng by die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens se operasionele of bestuursbesluite nie. Sy getuienis volg nadat die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu, op spesiale verlof geplaas is te midde van voortdurende ondersoeke na politieke inmenging en die ontbinding van die politieke moord-taakspan. Masemola het aan die ondersoek gesê hy sal nie inmeng by opdragte wat inbreuk maak op operasionele beheer nie:

Die polisiekommissaris van KwaZulu-Natal, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, het sy teleurstelling uitgespreek met die optrede van die voormalige minister van Polisie, Bheki Cele. Mkhwanazi, wat by die Madlanga-kommissie van ondersoek in Pretoria getuig, sê Cele het na bewering probeer inmeng in 'n dissiplinêre saak teen misdaadintelligensiehoof, Feroz Khan deur druk op die distrikkomissaris van Zululand, Jabulani Khumalo, te plaas om hom te kry om te bedank sodat hy nie oor die verhoor sou lei nie. Mkhwanazi sê Cele se optrede was onbehoorlik en het hom baie ongemaklik gemaak:

Die KwaZulu-Natalse polisiekommissaris, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, sê vyf inhegtenisnemings is nie uitgevoer nie uit 121 politieke moorddossiere wat oorgeplaas is na die nasionale polisiehoofkantoor in Pretoria. Hy het aan die Madlanga-kommissie gesê hoewel die dossiere geskandeer en geoudit is voor oorhandiging, is die opdrag om verdagtes aan te keer, nie nagekom nie:

Die polisiekommissaris van KwaZulu-Natal, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, het voor die Madlanga-kommissie van ondersoek in Pretoria getuig dat die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu, ten volle betrokke is by kriminele sindikate. President Cyril Ramaphosa het Mchunu in Julie op onmiddelike verlof geplaas oor bewerings dat hy met sindikate saamwerk en by hoë profiel-ondersoeke inmeng. Mkhwanazi het aan die einde van die eerste dag van die verhore, Mchunu met die sakemanne Vusimuzi ‘Cat' Matlala en Katiso ‘KT' Molefe verbind, wat beskuldig word dat hulle misdaadnetwerke bedryf:

Die regterlike kommissie van ondersoek na misdadigheid, politieke inmenging en korrupsie in die strafregstelsel onder die voorsitterskap van afgetrede Regter Mbuyiseli Madlanga, begin vandag met sy werk in Pretoria. Die DA-lid, Lisa Schickerling, sê die KwaZulu-Natalse provinsiale polisiekommissaris, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, het bewerings geopper oor politici wat by die polisie inmeng en die publiek se vertroue geskend het. Sy sê die Madlanga-kommissie moet politieke inmenging en misdadige infiltrasie sonder vrees of begunstiging blootlê:

Die langverwagte Madlanga-kommissie begin vandag by die Brigitte Mabandla-justisiekollege in Pretoria. President Cyril Ramaphosa het die kommissie aangestel ná bewerings deur KwaZulu-Natal se polisiekommissaris, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. Hy maak bewerings oor samespanning en korrupsie in die strafregstelsel. Hy beweer die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu, het bande met ʼn misdaadsindikaat. Mkhwanazi sal die kommissie se eerste getuie wees. Die kommissie se woordvoerder, Jeremy Michaels, sê hulle neem kennis van die MK-party se uitdaging van sy wetlikheid in die Hooggeregshof:

Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana yesterday proposed anti-ANC legislation in the US's ‘Upper House' which closely mirrors the Ronny Jackson Bill working its way through the House of Representatives. Breitbart senior editor Joel Pollak, the one-time front-runner to be the US ambassador to SA, provides context on this major development while offering a ray of light for Pretoria on the US/SA trade negotiations. He spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

Dans cet épisode, nous nous intéressons aux raisons de la condamnation tardive du régime d'apartheid sud-africain par la Suisse. L'historienne Sandra Bott est allée aux sources des relations économiques entre les deux Etats pour comprendre comment, au cours de la Guerre froide, la Suisse a maintenu des liens financiers et commerciaux étroits avec Pretoria, malgré sa posture officielle de neutralité. Circuits de l'or, rôle ambigu de la Banque Nationale Suisse, crédits massifs et activités opaques de sociétés comme Glencore témoignent d'une diplomatie économique parfois complice. Aujourd'hui encore, la mémoire de ces relations reste sensible et son héritage pèse encore sur le système financier suisse. Sandra Bott répond aux questions de David Glaser.

Die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag verwelkom die vonnis van Raymond Steven Jan-Erick Smith. Die Hooggeregshof in Pretoria het Smith twee lewenslange vonnisse opgelê vir twee moorde, drie jaar vir poging tot moord, en agt jaar tronkstraf vir poging tot roof met verswarende omstandighede. Die NVG se woordvoerder, Lumka Mahanjana, sê die Batebeslagleggingseenheid het in Julie ʼn bewaringsbevel bekom vir Smith se voertuig wat in die misdade gebruik is:

Die Madlanga-ondersoekkommissie sê sy aanbevelings sal nie bindend wees nie en slegs as riglyn vir president Cyril Ramaphosa dien. Die kommissie moet KwaZulu-Natal se polisiekommissaris, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, se bewerings van misdadigheid, politieke inmengery en korrupsie in die polisie ondersoek. Hy sal die eerste getuie wees wanneer die verhore volgende Woensdag in Pretoria begin. Die kommissie se getuienisleier, advokaat Matthew Chaskalson, sê hulle hoop Ramaphosa sal op hul aanbevelings reageer:

Cape Town's safety chief, Alderman JP Smith, tells Alec Hogg how the city is deploying hundreds of new law enforcement officers, drones, cameras, and even bait cars to confront the surge of violent incidents on the N2 and R300. With pressure mounting on the national government to devolve policing powers, Smith warns that Cape Town is no longer waiting for Pretoria to act.

Die Stad Tshwane sê hy het die Noordwes-Behuisingskorporasie suksesvol verbied om stadseiendomme in Mabopane, noord van die stad, op te veil. Die stad se woordvoerder, Selby Bokaba, sê die stad het die Hooggeregshof in Pretoria genader nadat die korporasie 'n advertensie geplaas het van 'n grootmaatverkoping van meer as 400 gemengde gebruikseiendomme op 'n aanlyn veiling:

Our listener Celia hails from South Africa and she wrote us about an experience she had at a historic museum located in the capital city of Pretoria. It's an awesome ghost story and we wondered if there were other haunted locations in Pretoria and sure enough, we found some! South Africa has only come up on the podcast one other time in all these years, so it was definitely time to revisit this country that has a history marked with turmoil because of apartheid and the ensuing massacres and uprisings and the struggle to transition to independence and Democracy. Ongoing challenges continue, but this is also a country of natural beauty in the landscape and its varied wildlife. The architecture is also diverse, represented with indigenous styles and contemporary styles, but also the historic styles of Victorian and Colonial. Join us for the history and hauntings of Pretoria, South Africa!

Die Zambiese regering sê hy is steeds verbind tot samewerking met die voormalige Zambiese president Edgar Lungu se familie oor sy begrafnisreëlings wat hul wense en staatsverpligtinge in balans bring. Dit volg nadat die Suid-Afrikaanse Konstitusionele Hof die Lungu-familie se regstreekse appèl teen 'n uitspraak van die Hooggeregshof in Pretoria van die hand gewys het. Lungu is op 5 Junie oorlede. Die kabinetsekretaris, Patrick Kangwa, het ook Zambiese burgers bedank vir hul ondersteuning gedurende die tydperk:

Die minister van Basiese Onderwys, Siviwe Gwarube, sê Suid-Afrika moet toegang tot gehalte basiese leerwerk uitbrei en die dringendste onderwysuitdaging is die krisis in vroeë geletterdheid en syfervaardigheid. Gwarube het gepraat tydens die aanstelling van nuwe lede van die Nasionale Onderwys- en Opleidingsraad in Pretoria vandag. Die minister sê te veel kinders in Suid-Afrika bereik Graad 4 sonder om met begrip te lees of hoe om basiese wiskundige begrip toe te pas:

« Dans mon Chinatown », c'est une série d'été de RFI qui vous emmène dans les quartiers chinois des grandes villes du monde sur tous les continents. On s'arrête aujourd'hui en Afrique du Sud, pays qui compte la plus importante communauté chinoise du continent. Les premiers migrants sont arrivés dès le XVIIᵉ siècle, envoyés au Cap par les autorités coloniales en tant que prisonniers ou esclaves. Après plusieurs vagues de migration, on estime aujourd'hui que cette communauté compte entre 250 000 et 350 000 personnes. À Johannesburg, deux Chinatown distincts retracent leur histoire.  De notre correspondante à Johannesburg, Sur la rue Commissioner, le magasin Sui Hing Hong est une institution. Malgré le déclin et la dégradation du vieux centre-ville, il continue vaillamment à rappeler à tous que se trouvait ici, le premier Chinatown de Johannesburg. C'est la mère de Gloria Pon qui a ouvert cette boutique dans les années 1940. « Elle disait qu'elle voulait établir un endroit où il y aurait tous les produits chinois dont on avait besoin : nos médicaments, notre nourriture, des bols et des baguettes », se souvient sa fille. La communauté chinoise sud-africaine est le fruit de vagues successives de migration. À Johannesburg, des travailleurs sous contrats ont été envoyés dès la création de la ville, suite à la découverte d'or à la fin du XIXᵉ siècle. Mais la majorité de ces mineurs sont ensuite rentrés au pays. Ceux arrivés plus tard, pour faire fortune, de la région de Canton par exemple – comme la famille de Gloria Pon –, ont été interdits de licence minière en raison de leur couleur de peau et se sont tournés vers le commerce. Ils ont alors développé tout un petit écosystème au niveau de cette rue. Le frère de Gloria, Walter, est surnommé le « maire » de Chinatown, en raison de sa passion pour l'histoire de la communauté. « Voici un autre bâtiment très ancien, des années 1900. C'est la propriété du club chinois. En ces temps-là, lorsque les Chinois arrivaient en Afrique du Sud, ils n'avaient pas de famille. Donc ils étaient accueillis ici, jusqu'à ce qu'ils trouvent un travail. Et lorsqu'ils mourraient, qui les enterraient ? Le club », explique-t-il. L'octogénaire se souvient notamment de la vie sous apartheid et des discriminations subies : « Quand on voulait s'asseoir dans un train, il fallait aller dans la zone réservée aux Noirs, une zone qui était sale, détériorée. La zone des Blancs était toute propre, mais on ne pouvait pas y accéder. » À lire aussiAfrique du Sud: l'August House, la grande colocation d'artistes en plein centre de Johannesburg Aujourd'hui, ne reste que quelques restaurants, témoins de cette histoire, ainsi que la boutique de feux d'artifices tenue par un autre frère de la famille Pon. Il faut se rendre à une poignée de kilomètres de là, dans l'ancienne banlieue juive de Cyrildene, pour découvrir le deuxième Chinatown de Johannesburg. Ce sont d'autres flux de migration qui lui ont donné naissance : d'abord des Taïwanais, encouragés à venir dans les années 1980 par le gouvernement de l'apartheid qui entretenait des liens avec Taipei. Puis, il y a eu de nouvelles arrivées du centre de la Chine, lorsque la démocratie sud-africaine s'est rapprochée de Pékin. Evonne Chen, 22 ans, est serveuse dans un petit café situé au pied de l'immense arche colorée qui marque l'entrée du quartier. Dans sa famille, elle est la première génération née sur place : « Je travaille à mi-temps ici, car j'étudie également les ressources humaines. Ce sont mes grands-parents qui sont venus ici, vers 1992-1993. Nous n'avons pas l'intention de rentrer, puisque ici, c'est un très beau pays. Moi, je parle taïwanais et mandarin, car mes grands-parents ne parlent pas anglais. » Nous retrouvons à l'extérieur Ufrieda Ho, qui a beaucoup écrit sur le sujet, et notamment sur sa propre famille. Ces lieux sont finalement, pour elle, à l'image de la communauté : divers et composites. « Ce n'est pas un groupe homogène, il y a beaucoup de nuances et de différents contextes. Je pense que c'est pour ça que ces deux Chinatown sont distincts : cela raconte les différentes formes de migrations et leur interaction avec la politique sud-africaine de l'époque », explique-t-elle. Malgré de forts liens entre Pékin et Pretoria, deux membres des Brics, les conditions économiques ont rendu l'Afrique du Sud moins attractive, ces dernières années, pour les nouveaux migrants chinois.

Die ANC veteraan en voormalige minister, Naledi Pandor, sê die party het sy glorie verloor en het vergeet dat hy bestaan om die mense te dien. Sy was Sondag 'n spreker by die Gertrude Shope-gedenklesing in Pretoria. Shope is in Mei vanjaar oorlede op die ouderdom van 99. Pandor sê landsburgers kyk met minagting, skok en skaamte na die ANC. Sy sê egter die party kan homself steeds vernuwe en die verval keer deur die regte leiers aan te stel:
