President Cyril Ramaphosa verwelkom die terugkeer van sekere Suid-Afrikaanse mans wat na die Russies-Oekraïense konflik gelok is. Die regering, in samewerking met Russiese owerhede, het ná noodoproepe hul veilige terugkeer verseker. Vier mans het by die huis aangekom en elf word binnekort verwag, terwyl twee steeds in Rusland is, insluitend een in 'n Moskouse hospitaal. Woordvoerder Vincent Magwenya sê Ramaphosa verwelkom voortgesette ondersoeke na die mans se beweerde werwing:

Massive global shifts set the tone for the week. In today's BizNews Daybreak, Alec Hogg unpacks implications for those selling into the world's biggest market - and specifically South Africans companies - after the US Supreme Court's decision to halt President Trump's controversial tariffs; update on the oil price which is hopping on military tensions between the US and Iran; another Anthropic innovation sparks a further stage in the Software Apocalpse; a clear warning to the SA government on handling the new US Ambassador, Brent Bozell III; and how CityMender SA, built by a 23-year-old student, is tracking service delivery issues across 25 municipalities.

Die burgerregte-organisasie AfriForum verwelkom president Cyril Ramaphosa se besluit om op hierdie stadium nie enige artikels van die Wet op Nasionale Gesondheidsversekering te bekragtig nie. Dit is tot uitspraak gelewer word in openbaredeelname-sake teen die wet. Louis Boshoff van AfriForum sê dit wys Ramaphosa dink twee keer oor die NGV se instelling:

In the latest NdB Sunday Show, Chris Steyn gets comment from US Intelligence Analyst retired Colonel Chris Wyatt on the litany of international companies exiting South Africa or scaling down their operations; the collapse of Tongaat Hullet; the agenda of the new US ambassador Brent Bozell III; President Cyril Ramaphosa's response to the SONA debate; President Donald Trump's 10% response to SCOTUS striking down his reciprocal tariffs; the United States being ready strike Iran at “a moment's notice”; the meeting of Trump's Peace Board; and powerful people across the world being toppled because of their links to Epstein, the latest casualty being former Prince Andrew of the UK.

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die regering hersien die raamwerk vir breedgebaseerde swart ekonomiese bemagtiging om dit meer doeltreffend te maak vir die bevordering van inklusiewe groei. Die doel is om meer geleenthede vir swartnywerhede en -vrouebestuurders te skep, ongelykheid te verminder en te verseker dat meer Suid-Afrikaners voordeel trek uit ekonomiese groei. Ramaphosa het tydens die debat oor die staatsrede gesê die hersiening sal help om ekonomiese insluiting te versterk en volhoubare groei te ondersteun:

President Ramaphosa verwerp oproepe om Swart Bemagtiging te skrap. President Trump stel 'n ultimatum aan Iran. China posisioneer homself as 'n groen supermoondheid. Zimbabwe skok vir Sri Lanka by die T20 wêreldbeker-toernooi.

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die keuses wat in die komende maande gemaak word, sal bepaal of Suid-Soedan na blywende vrede beweeg of terugkeer na onbestendigheid. Hy het gister die Afrika-unie se Ad hoc-hoëvlakkomitee vir die Suid-Soedan C5 Plus-beraad in Addis Abeba, Ethiopië, toegespreek. Suid-Soedan, die wêreld se jongste nasie, gaan in Desember stembus toe. Ramaphosa sê die Afrika-Unie is verenig in sy optrede om die land na 'n pad van vrede en bestendigheid te beweeg:

South Africans heard this year's State of the Nation Address (SONA) amid deepening water shortages, a stagnating economy, and rising political tension. Seeking to calm frustration and uncertainty, President Cyril Ramaphosa struck an optimistic tone. AfricaLink host Adwoa Domena speaks to political analyst Ntsikelelo Breakfast and DW's Thuso Khumalo to unpack whether the president succeeded.

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê Suid-Afrika is diep bekommerd oor toenemende konflik en onbestendigheid op die vasteland. Ramaphosa het Afrika-leiers by die Afrika-Unie toegespreek en sy verbintenis tot Agenda 2063 herbevestig. Hy bepleit dringende politieke betrokkenheid wat weens ongrondwetlike regeringsveranderings in sekere lande verbied is. Ramaphosa versoek wapenstilstande en inklusiewe dialoog in Soedan en Suid-Soedan en veroordeel M23-rebelle se voortgesette grensbedreigings in die oostelike Demokratiese Republiek die Kongo:

Political Analyst Professor, Ntsikelelo Breakfast says he hopes the interventions announced by President Ramaphosa in his SONA speech to fix the water crisis and the state of local government will bear fruit. In dealing with the current water crisis faced by a number of municipalities across the country, Ramaphosa announced action plans. The establishment of a national water crisis committee and the litigation against municipalities for contravening the provisions of the National Water Act, primarily the unlawful discharges of pollution were amongst some of the top priorities. For more on this, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Political Analyst, Sanusha Naidu and Economist, Duma Gqubule

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag sal ontplooi word om die polisie by te staan in die stryd teen bendegeweld en onwettige mynbedrywighede in die Wes-Kaap en Gauteng. Hy het Donderdagaand in Kaapstad sy staatsrede gelewer. Ramaphosa sê hy sal die nasionale vergadering en nasionale raad van provinsies inlig oor die tyd en plek waar soldate ontplooi sal word en wat dit gaan kos:

President Cyril Ramaphosa het die uitbreking van bek-en-klouseer in die land as nasionale ramp verklaar en sê die grootvee-bedryf beleef een van die ergste uitbrekings ooit. Hy het Donderdagaand in sy staatsrede gesê die siekte benadeel die ekonomie, en lei tot ʼn verbod op uitvoere, tot handelsbeperkings en die verwoesting van kuddes. Hy sê die regering sal saam met die privaatsektor werk om doeltreffende inenting te verseker:

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê hy gaan 'n Nasionale Waterkrisiskomitee stig, en as voorsiter optree, om die land se wateruitdagings aan te pak. Dele van Gauteng ervaar watertekorte, wat tot 'n aantal betogings gelei het. Die regering het 156 miljard rand in openbare befondsing oor die volgende drie jaar bewillig vir water, sanitasie en infrastruktuur. Ramaphosa het in sy staatsrede gisteraand aangekondig dat die regering in die finale fase is van die stigting van 'n nasionale agentskap vir waterhulpbroninfrastruktuur:

As South Africa approaches the 2026 State of the Nation Address, United Africans Transformation (UAT) is calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to move beyond repetition and symbolism. UAT says the address must include clear, time‑bound commitments that address weak economic growth, high unemployment, rising violent crime and deteriorating public services. The party also demands a full, transparent report on what the government has delivered since taking office, warning that without accountability, the SONA will remain another exercise in reassurance without results. Elvis Presslin spoke to Dr Wonder Mahlatse President of United Africans Transformation party

The National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure has assured South Africans that safety and security measures are in place for a peaceful State of the Nation Address.

Ramaphosa is expected to speak on the general state of the nation and reflect on a wide range of political, economic, and social matters in the domestic and global spheres. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to the following guests.

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê Suid-Afrika ondersteun steeds 'n diplomatieke oplossing vir die konflik tussen Rusland en Oekraïne. In 'n telefoniese gesprek met die Russiese president Vladimir Putin het Ramaphosa herhaal dat alle oorloë deur onderhandelinge moet eindig. Die woordvoerder in die Presidensie, Vincent Magwenya sê die twee leiers het ook handel, beleggings en samewerking in internasionale forums soos Brics en die G20 bespreek:

Die familie van 17 Suid-Afrikaanse mans wat in Oekraïne vasgekeer is, pleit dat Ramaphosa tussenbeide tree en help. Amerikaanse veghonde is in die spervuur nadat nog 'n persoon verskeur word. Bek-en-klouseer het moontlik nou ook na die Suid-Kaap versprei.

If the past is any guide then some middle-ranking official of officer is going to take the fall for the cock-up at sea last week when an Iranian corvette took part in exercises off of False Bay with the South African, Chinese and Russian navies after President Cyril Ramaphosa, very late in the day, issued instructions (exactly what he said and whether or not he wrote it down we still don't know) that they should not take part. There was probably no need for the Iranian vessel to follow the others out to sea, veteran military analyst Helmut Roemer Heitman tells Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge, if it was merely going to observe. You can observe from the bridge of a participating ship. The result of the mess thus created, he says, is that "It'll be have a demoralizing impact on an already demoralized defense force because they'll be given the blame. And that's bad because the morale is already not good for obvious reasons. So you'll have more people leave who we'd rather keep and you'll have fewer people join who we'd like to join” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

En Afrique, à quelques exceptions près, les réactions sont très prudentes après l'enlèvement, samedi 3 janvier par les Américains, du président du Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro. Pourquoi cette retenue ? Paul-Simon Handy est directeur Afrique de l'Est et Union africaine à l'Institut d'études de sécurité (l'ISS). Pour lui, beaucoup d'États africains basent leurs calculs sur la puissance comparée de la Chine et des États-Unis et ils en tirent des conséquences très pratiques. Il s'en explique au micro de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Paul-Simon Handy, chez les pays africains, à part l'Afrique du Sud et peut-être le Ghana, les réactions à l'opération militaire américaine sont très timides. Est-ce que cela vous surprend ? Paul-Simon Handy : On n'est pas vraiment surpris parce que l'on sait que les réactions du président américain peuvent être très revanchardes. Oui, on ne veut pas se fâcher avec Donald Trump ? En effet, derrière la prudence de plusieurs pays, il y a des calculs de diplomatie prudente, de peur de subir les foudres du président américain, comme on a déjà pu le constater dans des pays qui comptent parmi les pays les plus importants en Afrique, comme le Nigéria et l'Afrique du Sud. Alors en Afrique du Sud, le président Cyril Ramaphosa a eu des mots forts contre l'agression américaine. Mais au sein de son gouvernement, le parti Alliance démocratique n'est pas d'accord. Est-ce que cela ne le fragilise pas ? Je ne pense pas que l'ANC et le président Ramaphosa soient surpris que l'Alliance démocratique ne les ait pas soutenus dans ce cadre. Pour le président sud-africain, c'était certainement une occasion rêvée de prendre les États-Unis en flagrant délit de violation du droit international. L'Alliance démocratique a toujours voulu être un parti qui pense certainement que critiquer les États-Unis dirigé par le président Trump n'était pas une bonne idée et pourrait, au contraire, accroître encore la croisade du président Trump contre l'Afrique du Sud. Et qu'en pense l'opinion sud-africaine ? Est-ce qu'elle soutient l'ANC contre ce raid américain ou est-ce qu'elle craint des représailles commerciales des États-Unis ? Non, l'opinion publique sud-africaine est très en soutien de l'ANC. L'Afrique du Sud se vit comme un pays leader en Afrique. Et se voir malmener comme ça par un pays avec lequel elle avait des relations plutôt bonnes... Non. l'opinion publique, la presse, est plutôt favorable à l'approche de l'ANC, qui a toujours été relativement ferme. Paul-Simon Handy, comment expliquez-vous le silence de l'Algérie quand on connaît la proximité qui existait entre le président Maduro et le président Abdelmadjid Tebboune ? Alors, je pense que l'Algérie, comme certains autres États, fait preuve de prudence stratégique. L'Algérie vient de terminer un mandat de deux ans au Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies sur un échec diplomatique, il faut le dire. Car le vote de la résolution 2797, dont le porteur de crayon étaient quand même les États-Unis, constituaient une sorte d'échec diplomatique pour l'Algérie. Sur le Sahara occidental. Sur le Sahara occidental. Donc, je pense que l'Algérie est encore en train de digérer cet échec diplomatique et ne voudrait pas en rajouter en se mettant en porte-à-faux avec un partenaire américain qui est devenu extrêmement imprévisible. Le deuxième aspect, à mon avis, c'est que la non-réaction de l'Algérie officielle démontre aussi que les alliances de blocs sont terminées dans le monde. Les amitiés avec des pays comme la Chine, la Russie ne protègent pas d'une agression militaire. Ce qui veut dire que, aujourd'hui, l'Algérie sait qu'elle peut très bien faire l'objet d'une attaque et que aucun autre État ne viendra la soutenir, et certainement pas les autres grands États comme la Chine, la Russie, ni même l'Iran. Alors justement en Iran l'année dernière, au Venezuela cette année, est ce que ces opérations militaires montrent la supériorité stratégique des Américains sur la Chine, y compris en Afrique ? Très certainement oui. Supériorité militaire... On voit que les États-Unis d'Amérique ont subi la concurrence de pays comme la Chine, la Russie, tous les pays qu'on dénomme souvent comme « puissance montante ». Ces pays sont des puissances montantes, économiques, diplomatiques, mais n'ont pas encore atteint la puissance militaire du leader américain. Il y a une vraie domination militaire américaine que la Chine est en train d'essayer de rattraper, mais elle en est encore loin. Autres pays très discrets depuis samedi dernier, les trois pays de l'AES, l'Alliance des États du Sahel. Pourquoi ne sont-ils pas aux côtés de la Russie pour dénoncer, je cite l'ambassadeur de Moscou à New York, « le retour à l'ère de la domination américaine par la force et l'illégalité » ? Alors si on ne peut déjà pas défendre sa souveraineté par ses propres moyens, ses propres forces de défense et de sécurité, le meilleur antidote est certainement la légitimité transmise par les urnes. Les pays de l'AES n'ont pas cette légitimité populaire. Ces pays sont bien conscients de la faiblesse de leur position et de l'absence de réaction probable d'alliés. Et donc leur silence, pour moi, est évocateur d'une vraie prise de conscience de ce que leur position est : très délicate. Le projet qu'ils veulent mener n'est pas partagé par la communauté internationale.   À lire aussiLes décisions des autorités vénézuéliennes seront «dictées» par les États-Unis affirme la Maison Blanche À lire aussiLe Mexique défend sa souveraineté face aux menaces d'intervention des États-Unis
