On February 14, 2013 — Valentine's Day — the world was stunned by the news that South African Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius had shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, inside his home in Pretoria. What followed was one of the most closely watched criminal trials of the 21st century — a case that forced the public to grapple with uncomfortable questions about celebrity, justice, gender-based violence, and how much of a public figure's private life we ever truly see.Support us on PatreonToday's snack: South African picnic bread

In this deeply personal and wide-ranging episode of the AART Podcast, host Chris Stafford sits down with acclaimed South African production designer Sabrina Linder for an intimate biographical conversation about life, creativity, and the winding path that leads to a career in film. Rather than focusing on technical process, this episode explores the human story behind the work. Sabrina Linder reflects on growing up in South Africa, the formative experiences that shaped her artistic sensibility, and how curiosity, resilience, and observation guided her toward a life in visual storytelling. From early influences and cultural identity to the emotional intelligence required to collaborate at the highest levels of film and television, Sabrina shares the moments that quietly — and sometimes unexpectedly — defined her career. Throughout the conversation, Sabrina opens up about navigating creative industries, finding confidence as an artist, and learning how to trust instinct over expectation. She discusses what it means to build worlds for the screen while simultaneously building a life, and how storytelling — whether through design or lived experience — remains at the center of her work. Chris guides the discussion with warmth and curiosity, allowing space for reflection on ambition, self-doubt, mentorship, and the invisible labor behind creative success. The result is a thoughtful portrait of an artist whose career is rooted not only in visual craft, but in empathy, memory, and lived experience. This episode will resonate with artists, filmmakers, designers, and anyone interested in the personal journeys behind creative careers, offering insight, honesty, and inspiration well beyond the screen.

Renowned Palestinian theologian Rev. Mitri Raheb and theologian Graham McGeoch join us for a sobering conversation about the reality we live in “After Gaza”. We particularly reflect on their recent edited volume “Theology After Gaza” that analyzes how theology has been misused to justify oppression in Israel's war on Gaza, countering it with liberation theologies centered on justice and truth where Gaza serves as a crisis point for Western theology, Zionism, and modernity.Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb is the Founder and President of Dar al-Kalima University in Bethlehem and widely recognized as the most prolific Palestinian theologian to date. A social entrepreneur and elected member of the Palestinian National Council, he previously served as the senior pastor of the Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem from 1987 to 2017. Dr. Raheb has authored or edited 50 books, including Decolonizing Palestine and Faith in the Face of Empire, with his works translated into thirteen languages. His extensive contributions to theology, peace, and culture have garnered significant international recognition, including the Olof Palme Prize, the German Media Prize, and the Aachen Peace Award.Rev. Graham McGeoch is a theologian, Church of Scotland minister, and scholar specializing in liberation theology, ecumenism, and World Christianity. He currently serves as the Mission Secretary for Discipleship and Dialogue at the Council for World Mission (CWM). Additionally, he is a professor of Theology and Religious Studies at the Faculdade Unida de Vitória (UNIDA) in Brazil and a research associate at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. His most recent major publication is Theology After Gaza: A Global Anthology (2025), which he co-edited with Palestinian theologian Mitri Raheb. His other recent works include World Christianity and Ecological Theologies (2024) and Teologia da Libertação na América Latina: novas sementes de inquietação (2024). Become a monthly supporter of Across the Divide on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/AcrosstheDivide Follow Across the Divide for more on ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠⁠‪@AcrosstheDividePodcast‬⁠⁠⁠Across the Divide partners with Peace Catalyst International to amplify the pursuit of peace and explore the vital intersection of Christian faith and social justice in Palestine-Israel.#israel #palestine #gaza #christianity #bible #faith #zionism

fWotD Episode 3151: Battle of Bronkhorstspruit Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 20 December 2025, is Battle of Bronkhorstspruit.The battle of Bronkhorstspruit was the first major engagement of the First Boer War. It took place by the Bronkhorstspruit river, near the town of Bronkhorstspruit, Transvaal, on 20 December 1880. Threatened by the growing numbers of militant Boers in the Pretoria region, the British recalled the 94th Regiment of Foot, which had several companies garrisoned in towns and villages across the wider area. The regiment's commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Philip Robert Anstruther, led a 34-wagon column consisting of roughly 250 men on a 188-mile (303 km) journey from Lydenburg back to Pretoria. A similar-sized Boer commando force, led by Francois Gerhardus Joubert, was ordered to intercept and stop the British.Despite several warnings of the threat of attack, the British travelled largely unprepared for combat, and the many wagons they travelled with slowed their progress significantly. On 20 December, 24 days after receiving the order to return, Anstruther's column was confronted by the Boers, who demanded under truce that the British stop their march. Anstruther refused, and the Boers attacked while the British soldiers were still preparing. The British took heavy casualties and surrendered after about 15 minutes; their surviving men were captured. Anstruther was badly wounded and died of his injuries a few days later.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:12 UTC on Saturday, 20 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Battle of Bronkhorstspruit on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kendra.

When you're filling in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, the idea of an international competition testing those skills is probably far from your mind. Yet Excel has become an esport, with competitors from around the world solving high‑pressure challenges on a major stage in Las Vegas. This year, University of Pretoria student Pieter Pienaar became the world champion in the 2025 Microsoft Excel Collegiate Challenge. Pienaar, who is currently completing his chartered accountant articles with PwC, told BizNews that for him Excel is a powerful problem‑solving tool, and that is exactly what the championship tested. When it comes to future developments in Excel, he strongly supports the role of AI because it democratises problem‑solving, provided companies act responsibly and ensure proper auditing. But, he adds, it should definitely not be used by the National Treasury to do your taxes.

L'Afrique du Sud a expulsé sept Kenyans employés par les États-Unis dans le cadre de leur programme d'accueil de la minorité blanche des Afrikaners. Et, ça ne risque pas d'arranger la relation déjà tendue entre Pretoria et Washington. Le journal kenyan Daily Nation revient sur ce contexte particulièrement électrique : « L'administration du président Donald Trump ambitionne d'accueillir des milliers de Sud-Africains blancs aux États-Unis dans le cadre d'un programme de réinstallation lancé cette année, en se fondant sur des allégations de persécution raciale. » Des allégations que réfute totalement l'Afrique du Sud. « Sur cette base, l'administration Trump a mis en place un programme offrant à certains Afrikaners un traitement prioritaire pour obtenir le statut de réfugié aux États‑Unis, comme en mai 2025 lorsqu'un premier groupe a été accueilli avec accompagnement pour leur insertion », commente la Nouvelle Tribune. Les sept Kényans expulsés étaient entrés dans le pays avec des visas de tourisme et avaient illégalement commencé à travailler, alors que des demandes précédentes de visas de travail leur avaient été refusées. Daily Nation analyse : « Durant son second mandat, Trump a proféré à plusieurs reprises de fausses accusations concernant le traitement réservé par l'Afrique du Sud à sa minorité blanche, s'en servant pour réduire l'aide au pays et exclure l'Afrique du Sud des réunions du G20. » Washington n'a en tout cas pas manqué de réagir aux expulsions : « Le département d'État américain a accusé Pretoria d'entraver ses opérations liées à l'accueil de réfugiés, qualifiant la situation d'inacceptable. De son côté, le gouvernement sud-africain affirme avoir engagé des démarches diplomatiques formelles avec les États-Unis et le Kenya afin de désamorcer le différend », conclut la Nouvelle Tribune. Au Kenya, 18 personnes prises au piège dans la guerre en Ukraine rapatriées Dix-huit personnes prises au piège dans la guerre en Ukraine ont été rapatriées dans le pays, révèle Daily Nation au Kenya. Le journal explique que ces 18 hommes ont été rapatriés de Russie, « certains souffrant de blessures graves ». Plus tôt dans la semaine, on a également appris qu'au moins 82 Kényans auraient été enrôlés de force aux côtés de l'armée russe dans la guerre en Ukraine. « La plupart, dépourvus de toute formation militaire, n'avaient jamais tenu une arme de leur vie avant d'être enrôlés. Après une formation express de cinq jours dans des camps d'entraînement, ils ont été envoyés sur la ligne de front », explique Le Monde Afrique. L'un des volontaires abusés, qui témoigne auprès de Daily Nation, raconte que « plusieurs agences de recrutement auraient trompé des candidats à l'immigration, leur faisant miroiter de faux emplois aux rémunérations alléchantes dans la transformation, l'emballage et le nettoyage de viande », tout en assurant prendre en charge les frais de transport, les examens médicaux et le logement sur place. Et « le Kenya n'est pas le seul pays africain de recrutement, explique le Monde Afrique. Les autorités ukrainiennes estiment que plus de 1 400 soldats du continent, issus de 36 pays, combattraient aux côtés de l'armée russe. La plupart sous la contrainte. » L'Afrique subsaharienne, par ailleurs, « constitue un vivier de recrutement vaste et facilement accessible en raison de taux de pauvreté élevés dans la plupart des pays de la zone » et de l'« important désir d'émigration », d'après l'Institut français des relations internationales (Ifri) dans une étude ce jeudi. Froid glacial, pluies diluviennes et fortes chutes de neige au Maroc « Le Maroc fait face à un épisode hivernal d'une rare intensité », commente Afrik.com. Mardi, les autorités ont annoncé le déploiement d'une aide d'urgence nationale. Objectif : venir en aide à des dizaines de milliers de familles. La province côtière de Safi est particulièrement touchée, raconte le média, des crues soudaines y ayant causé la mort de 37 personnes dimanche. « ​Safi panse ses plaies en quatre heures grâce à un élan de solidarité inédit, écrit notamment le journal marocain l'Opinion. Boulangers, pêcheurs, commerçants du port et professionnels de la pêche côtière se sont unis dans une collecte exceptionnelle, peut-on lire. Ce mouvement collectif, nourri par l'attachement profond à une ville meurtrie, illustre une capacité éprouvée à faire face à l'adversité (…) portée par la détermination et la cohésion de ses habitants », raconte le journal. Plus globalement, le Maroc connaît une variabilité climatique accrue, marquée par l'alternance entre sécheresses prolongées et épisodes pluvieux violents. Sans surprise, « l'intensification de ces phénomènes est liée au réchauffement climatique, qui modifie les régimes de précipitations et accentue les contrastes de température », souligne Afrik.com.

Violentes agressions, incendies, tir à l'arme automatique, arrachage d'oliviers, cette année la récolte des olives a été exceptionnellement violente.  En toile de fond : l'anéantissement de la Bande de Gaza consécutif à l'attaque terroriste du Hamas du 7 octobre 2023, et les appels en Israël à l'annexion de la Cisjordanie / Judée et Samarie disent notamment les colons. Les oliviers, même s'ils comptent pour une part non négligeable de l'économie de Cisjordanie sont avant tout un symbole, celui de la lutte contre l'occupation israélienne.

East London: en Afrique du Sud, une ville face aux taxes Trump Depuis plusieurs mois, Donald Trump cible directement l'Afrique du Sud.

Die departement van basiese onderwys het die uitspraak deur die Hooggeregshof in Pretoria verwelkom wat sy wetlike gesag bevestig om die uitslae van die Nasionale Senior Sertifikaat in koerante en geakkrediteerde mediaplatforms te publiseer.

Depuis plusieurs mois, Donald Trump cible directement l'Afrique du Sud. Dans ses discours, le président américain accuse Pretoria de ne pas protéger les fermiers afrikaners blancs, qu'il prétend victimes d'un « génocide ». De notre envoyé spécial de retour de Johannesburg Les démentis sud-africains n'y changent rien. Washington sanctionne : boycott du G20 organisé à Johannesburg, exclusion de l'Afrique du Sud du prochain sommet États-Unis/Afrique et, surtout, décisions économiques lourdes, notamment des droits de douane de 30% sur les exportations sud-africaines. Pour East London, ville du Cap-Oriental dont l'économie dépend largement de l'usine Mercedes-Benz, la punition américaine est un séisme. Sur le port d'East London, la scène est pourtant immuable : rangées de berlines alignées sous les projecteurs, grues immobiles dans l'air salin, ouvriers qui s'affairent en attendant les navires. Dirk Botes, responsable clientèle, détaille l'organisation du terminal automobile : « Cette zone peut préstocker environ 1 400 voitures. Dans le hangar là-bas, un peu moins de 4 000, et sur l'esplanade ouverte environ 1 500. » Ce soir, un navire doit pourtant accoster avec plusieurs heures de retard, perturbé par le mauvais temps. « Il va charger ces véhicules, décharger ceux qui arrivent d'Europe, puis on recommencera avec le bateau suivant », explique-t-il. Ce ballet, autrefois parfaitement réglé, s'est ralenti au fil des mois. Le port exporte de moins en moins de voitures, essentiellement des Mercedes Classe C dont les ventes déclinent depuis plusieurs années. Sphiwe Mthembu, le directeur du port, ne masque pas son inquiétude : « La situation nous touche directement. Quand un constructeur présent depuis soixante-cinq ans commence soudain à souffrir d'une baisse de volumes, cela nous affecte immédiatement. Nous recevons des conteneurs destinés à l'usine : si l'usine tourne moins bien, le port en subit l'impact. Nous devons absolument garder Mercedes-Benz ici et attirer un deuxième grand constructeur. C'est vital pour l'économie locale. » En ville, la chambre de commerce suit de près la situation. Sa directrice, Lizelle Maurice, femme d'affaires respectée et ardente défenseure de l'économie locale, résume l'impact en quelques mots : « Le marché américain était notre plus gros marché, environ 30% de toutes les commandes. Quand les volumes ont commencé à baisser, les fournisseurs de Mercedes-Benz ont immédiatement réduit leurs effectifs. Et cela, c'était avant même les tarifs de Trump. La pandémie avait déjà mis notre économie à genoux. L'an dernier, l'usine est passée de trois à deux équipes, puis 700 départs volontaires ont été annoncés. Les décisions de Washington n'ont fait qu'aggraver une situation déjà très tendue. » Pour comprendre la centralité de Mercedes-Benz dans la région, Ted Keenan, journaliste du Daily Dispatch, déroule une liste : Auria Africa, Valeo International, AIH, et bien d'autres. Tous ont licencié ces derniers mois. «Certaines estimations parlent de 160 000 personnes potentiellement touchées dans la région si Mercedes s'en allait », glisse-t-il, avant de nuancer : « Je ne crois pas que ce soit réaliste. Ce serait la pire chose qui puisse arriver. Mais, il y a des rumeurs persistantes venues de Chine : Mercedes-Benz serait prêt à partager son usine. Aujourd'hui, beaucoup de constructeurs partagent leurs installations. Ce n'est pas impensable. » Pour les employés, c'est jour de fête. Plusieurs centaines d'entre eux sont rassemblés sur un terrain de rugby pour la traditionnelle célébration de fin d'année. Brochettes, musique, danses. Thabile Bevu, délégué du syndicat Numsa, explique pourtant que cette année a été rude : « La production s'est arrêtée plus tôt que d'habitude, quatre semaines en avance. C'est une combinaison de facteurs. Les taxes américaines ont forcé l'usine à réduire. En juillet, on a aussi été en chômage technique pendant six semaines. Beaucoup d'employés embauchés l'an dernier ont déjà perdu leur travail. Alors, tout le monde se demande : est-ce que je serai le prochain ? Mais Mercedes a toujours réussi à faire face, en travaillant avec nous. » Le lendemain, l'un des ouvriers, Phiwe Qaba, arborant un maillot bleu clair des Orlando Pirates, confirme que la crainte est constante : « On parle toujours du même sujet. Parce que dès que les États-Unis arrêtent de commander, notre vie quotidienne change. » Si lui bénéficie d'accords garantissant un revenu minimum même en cas de chômage technique, il pense aux autres, à ceux qui gravitent autour de l'usine : « La dame qui vend des fruits à l'entrée, le gars qui fait le ménage, celle qui prépare la nourriture… eux rentrent chez eux sans un sou. C'est une catastrophe. » À quelques kilomètres du centre-ville, dans le township historique de Duncan Village, on ressent déjà les secousses de la crise. Khulile Jacobs, éducateur et figure locale, fait visiter le lycée du quartier et raconte l'effet sur les familles : « Beaucoup avaient pris des prêts logement ou auto. Avec les licenciements, tout risque de s'effondrer. Des familles qui avaient quitté le township pour des quartiers plus aisés reviennent déjà. Le mouvement a commencé juste après l'élection américaine de novembre. Les entreprises savaient ce qui allait arriver. » Pour Khulile Jacobs, les raisons des décisions de Donald Trump dépassent largement les questions agricoles ou sécuritaires : « C'est une nouvelle forme de guerre froide. L'Afrique du Sud est un hub d'investissements sur le continent. On a l'impression que Trump essaie de détourner ces investissements vers les États-Unis. » Il ajoute un facteur géopolitique majeur : « Le fait que notre pays ait amené Israël devant la Cour internationale de justice a pesé lourd. Pour Trump, c'est comme si l'Afrique du Sud s'était opposée à un allié stratégique. » Et lorsqu'on lui demande s'il soutient son gouvernement dans cette démarche, la réponse est sans ambiguïté : « À 100 %, même plus. Nous nous tiendrons toujours aux côtés du peuple palestinien. Moralement, nous ne pouvons pas faire autrement. » Malgré tout, certains veulent croire à un possible apaisement. Lizelle Maurice, la directrice de la chambre de commerce, appelle à ne pas couper le dialogue : « ​​​​​​​Trump doit comprendre que ses décisions touchent des millions de personnes. Il doit revoir sa stratégie vis-à-vis de l'Afrique du Sud. Comme je le dis toujours : garde tes amis près de toi, mais tes ennemis encore plus près. »

Jacaranda trees are a symbol of spring in Gauteng. These subtropical trees, with their lavender flowers, bloom yearly in Gauteng, especially Pretoria and Johannesburg, adding a touch of color and joy to the South African cities. Apart from their captivating color and shape, what makes these trees fascinating is that they are not indigenous to South Africa. Scientifically known as Jacaranda mimosifolia, the tree is originally from South America, specifically Brazil, and was introduced to South Africa in the 1800s. These resilient trees are considered an invasive species—they are not naturally part of the South African ecosystem but have adapted and can survive without human help. But due to their popularity and strong cultural value, people are permitted to plant and grow the trees within city limits. The trees became a significant part of the modernization of Pretoria in the 1900s, with samples given to residents to grow in their homes. With Gauteng's humid weather and rainy springs, the purple giants are thriving, creating a beautiful lavender carpet on windy days and perfect shade on a hot day. "Jacarandas were classed as an invasive species, but they have a clause in their invasive status,” said Jason Sampson, Head of Botanical Gardens at the University of Pretoria. "They are not listed in urban areas, so which means that because they have a strong cultural value, you're still allowed to plant them within city limits, like in Pretoria." The purple flowers bloom for about two to three weeks before the leaves come out, making the experience even more special. They've also become the perfect background for pictures, with residents snapping a shot whenever they have a moment. Their striking colors beautifully contrast the concrete building. A resident in Johannesburg, Naledi Mnisi told The Associated Press how she enjoys jogging in the morning while admiring the beauty of the jacarandas. "Jacarandas make me feel inspired," said Mnisi. "They represent a new season, a time of growth, and when you are running in the morning, it's easier to get up and get going as opposed to like winter, where it's gloomy and dark."

Ray White speaks to Prof Danny Bradlow, international relations expert and Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Advancement of Scholarship at the University of Pretoria, about whether South Africa and the United States can still find a path toward repairing their strained relationship. Tensions have escalated, from U.S. President Donald Trump declining to attend South Africa’s G20 summit, to the U.S. disinviting and excluding South Africa from the G20 meeting it plans to host next year in Florida. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

America just slapped us with tariffs, cut aid and offered ‘evacuation plans' to a few Afrikaner white farmers, basically telling us we messed up. You might be asking yourself, what's up with this beef again between the US and SA? Last week, Trump posted on social media (Truth Social) that the US would bar South Africa from the next G20 Summit, hosted in Miami in 2026, a direct reaction to what he called Pretoria's mistreatment of white farmers, alleging “killing white people” and “human-rights abuses”. He followed that up with a suspension of US subsidies and financial aid to South Africa. The official statement from the South African government described Trump's post as “regrettable” and “not substantiated by fact,” rejecting claims that any group in SA is facing systemic “genocide.” In response, last night President Ramaphosa addressed the nation, calling the US move “punitive,” stressing SA's sovereignty and affirming SA's right to sit at the G20 “in its own name and right.” Relations that were already tense have now escalated into a near-full breakdown of diplomatic goodwill. Stacey and J Sbu were joined by renowned comedian Carvin H Goldstone to discuss this topic. If you missed it live, listen in!

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 28th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Leviticus 3:1:‘When his offering is a sacrifice of a peace offering…” Then we go straight to the New Testament in the Gospel of John 14:27. Jesus says: ”Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.“ The dove, the symbol of peace. It symbolises peace and also new beginnings. If we remember Noah's Ark when the whole world was flooded, the dove returned when the rain stopped, after everything had settled, with an olive branch in it's beak, signifying the end of the flood and new life and new beginnings. Yes, the dove is also the symbol of the Holy Spirit. At Jesus' baptism, at the Jordan river, remember, the Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove and settled on the Lord. The dove represents reconciliation, mom, dad, brother, sister, reconciliation between God and man. If we look at Matthew 5:9: ”Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.” We named this farm that we are on at the moment “Shalom” and we named it almost fifty years ago. When we arrived with our truck and trailer from Zambia, with our little children, they were just babies. I will never forget, I'd come home for a bit of lunch, in those days there were no cellphones, we had the old crank system on the telephones, two shorts, one long! Do you remember that? Yes, the older people do, the younger people have no idea. We got a phone call from the Deeds Office in Pretoria. They said, ”We have just approved the subdivision of your farm; we need a new name.” I shouted through to the bedroom, ”Jill, I've got the Deeds Office on the phone. They need a name for the farm.” This was before we became Christians. "Give us a name quickly, any name.” I heard that beautiful voice come through and say, ”Call it Shalom.” I said to the Deeds Office, ”The name is Shalom.” And those of you who know us well will agree that the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ has really blessed many multitudes on this farm. His name is Jesus, the Prince of Peace.Have a wonderful day and go out and sow peace.Goodbye.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Nasiphi Moyo, Mayor of Tshwane, about the sweeping clean-up operation currently underway in Pretoria’s inner city. Over the past week, several buildings posing as bars, clubs, and “gentlemen’s spots” have been shut down after authorities uncovered that they were operating as fronts for brothels, human trafficking networks, and a range of illicit activities. City enforcement teams have been combing through the CBD, closing unsafe establishments, arresting suspects, and enforcing by-laws that have long gone ignored. The raids have also revealed undocumented workers, drug dens, and troubling signs of collusion between certain city officials and criminal operators. As frustration grows among residents demanding safer streets and a revitalised capital, Mayor Moyo says this is only the first phase of a broader effort to reclaim the city. She joins us this morning to unpack what’s happening on the ground and outline what comes next in Tshwane’s aggressive clean-up campaign. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Pour la première fois, ile sommet du G20 se tient en Afrique, plus précisément en Afrique du Sud, qui assure la présidence tournante du groupe. Mais cette première historique a été marquée par un boycott frontal des États-Unis, avec en toile de fond des tensions croissantes entre Washington et Pretoria. Malgré les pressions, le président Cyril Ramaphosa a réussi faire adopter un texte par l'ensemble des dirigeants rassemblés.

South Africa's foreign minister Ronald Lamola speaks to Talk to Al Jazeera about the mysterious arrival of a flight carrying Palestinians, why authorities were blindsided, and what the incident reveals about the networks moving people out of Gaza. He also discusses South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, the country's G20 summit, and how Pretoria sees its role in a rapidly shifting global order shaped by conflict, diplomatic pressure and competing visions of justice.

The US is essentially boycotting this weekend's G20 summit in South Africa over accusations that the white Afrikaners are ‘being killed and slaughtered' and that white farmers are having their land ‘illegally confiscated. The South African government say the claims are "widely discredited and unsupported by reliable evidence". Today we speak to BBC correspondent Andrew Harding, who lived and worked in South Africa for over a decade, to find out where these claims came from.

Les dirigeants des plus grandes économies du monde se retrouvent à partir de samedi 22 novembre à Johannesburg pour un sommet du G20, le premier de l'histoire sur le continent africain. Pretoria entend peser pour obtenir des engagements sur l'allègement de la dette des pays en développement et sur la lutte contre les inégalités, à l'heure où son économie enregistre quelques succès. Les G20 arrive au meilleur des moments pour l'Afrique du Sud. Depuis le mois dernier, le pays n'est plus considéré à risque en matière de blanchiment d'argent. Le Gafi (Groupe d'action financière) l'organisme international de lutte contre ces pratiques a sorti Pretoria de sa fameuse liste « grise » au nom de ses réformes pour plus de transparence.  Une bonne nouvelle n'arrivant jamais seule, vendredi 14 novembre, c'est l'une des trois grandes agences de notation S&P qui a relevé d'un cran la note du pays. Une première en 20 ans. Concrètement la note de crédit à long terme — sorte de note de confiance" sur la qualité de la dette du pays — est passée de "BB-" à "B.B". Pour donner une idée, c'est un peu comme si l'Afrique du Sud passait de 8 à 9/20. Certes, ce n'est pas encore la moyenne, mais c'est un signal fort, un gage de confiance pour les investisseurs. Et cela devrait permettre à Pretoria des taux d'intérêts moins élevés et donc d'emprunter moins cher sur les marchés.  Redresser les finances publiques  La confiance des investisseurs s'explique en partie par les efforts de la coalition au pouvoir pour redresser les finances publiques. Non seulement l'Afrique du Sud collecte plus d'argent via l'impôt, mais elle le collecte aussi mieux. Le budget présenté la dernière semaine prévoit une hausse des recettes. Autre point positif : le plan de libéralisation de l'économie lancé par le président Cyril Ramaphosa qui vise encourager les partenariats publics/privés dans des secteurs clés: les trains, les ports ou encore l'énergie. L'agence de notation S&P cite une réussite. Le cas de la compagnie d'électricité publique Eskom qui a enregistré le mois dernier son premier bénéfice net en huit ans. Les coupures de courant sont moins fréquentes dans le pays, ce qui pénalise moins les entreprises et favorise la croissance.  Pays le plus inégalitaire au monde Après une décennie de croissance atone, les prévisions ont été revues à la hausse. Le PIB pourrait progresser de près de 2% en moyenne sur les trois prochaines années (1,8% en moyenne sur les trois prochaines années selon les prévisions du Trésor) Et l'inflation, reste maitrisée. La banque centrale table sur une hausse des prix de 3% en moyenne, contre à 3% et 6% auparavant.  Pourtant, tout n'est pas rose. Le principal défi de Pretoria reste son taux de chômage qui dépasse les 30% Et c'est encore pire chez les jeunes : un sur deux est sans travail. L'Afrique du Sud ne créé pas assez d'emplois par rapport à sa population, et les inégalités se creusent. Plus de 30 ans après la fin de l'apartheid, le pays peine à gommer les disparités raciales. D'après la Banque mondiale, l'Afrique du Sud reste le pays le plus inégalitaire au monde.  À lire aussiAfrique du Sud: à Soweto, la ruée vers l'or continue de toucher les populations pauvres plus de 100 ans plus tard

Send us a textA new report on health and climate change paints the grimmest picture yet about what's going on – not just that 2024 was the hottest year on record, but evidence that many governments have stopped even pretending to try to do anything about it.The 2025 Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change finds that more than half a million people die every year from heat-related causes, up 23 percent since the 1990s. Air pollution just from wildfire smoke was linked to 154,000 deaths in 2024. And 2.5 million people die every year because of the continued burning of fossil fuels, the report says.But Dr. Tafadzwa Mabhaudhi, Professor of Climate Change, Food Systems, and Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Director of the Lancet Countdown in Africa, says it's not all bad news. Communities, people acting in groups, city governments, and others can make a difference.“We do have the power,” says Tafadzwa, who joins One World, One Health host Maggie Fox in this episode to talk about the report and what he sees for the future.African nations, especially, have the opportunity to show the way as they build cities that take advantage of clean energy, says Tafadzwa, who is also a professor in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, Future Africa, at the University of Pretoria in South Africa.The report finds hope in this trend, and estimates 160,000 lives are being saved annually as communities shift away from coal and enjoy cleaner air.Listen as Tafadzwa describes some of the successes in fighting climate change and what people and communities can do to encourage their governments to act.

Die afgetrede adjunkhoof van die Ekurhuleni Metropolisie, Revo Spies, sê blou ligte in privaat hande is gevaarlik, want misdadigers kan hulle as polisie voordoen. Spies het voor die Madlanga-kommissie in Pretoria verwys na News24-berigte dat voertuie, wat met sakeman Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala verbind word, onwettig as EMPD-motors geregistreer is. Hy waarsku dat blou ligte die polisie én die publiek in gevaar stel en slegs deur wetstoepassing gebruik moet word:

Die politieke ontleder Dirk Kotzé sê die beslaglegging op die geskorste polisieminister, Senzo Mchunu, se elektroniese toestelle dui daarop dat ondersoekprosesse begin versnel. Die KwaZulu-Natalse taakspan vir politieke moorde het vanoggend vyf toestelle by Mchunu se huis in Pretoria afgeneem te midde van 'n ondersoek na beweerde politieke inmenging en korrupsie in die regstelsel. Kotzé het aan Newzroom Afrika gesê sodra die ondersoek afgehandel is, sal dit duidelik word wat gevind is:

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
