After an absence of four Sundays, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), was back on the Sunday Show today with Chris Steyn. Calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to step down, he says: “… Wake up, resign…Mr. Ramaphosa, can't you see the signs? Can't you see they don't like you? Can't you see that they are conspiring against you?” With legacy foundations deserting the preparatory task team of Ramaphosa's National Dialogue, De Beer says: “…slowly but surely all of them will leave the rat's cage”. Responding to the charge that he himself is spearheading the #ANCMustFall movement, De Beer says: “…the ANC is doing it themselves to themselves…” He urges both the President and his party to “Voetsek”. Commenting on the crisis in SAPS, he says: “I see ourselves having to totally, totally re-educate and totally rebuild the policing service of this country. They've annihilated themselves.” As for the latest Commission of Inquiry appointed by the President, De Beer says: “..they're not commissions, they're complications because they are a way that Cyril puts things aside…if we don't have civilian action against these people, we're not going to get action at all”.

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die Nasionale Dialoog sal op 15 Augustus voortgaan ten spyte van die onttrekking van ses groot stigtings, insluitend dié van Thabo Mbeki, Steve Biko en FW de Klerk. Die groepe beskuldig die regering dat hulle beheer oorneem oor wat 'n burgergeleide proses behoort te wees en wil hê dat die geleentheid uitgestel word. Ramaphosa sê egter die meeste van die 750 genooide organisasies het bywoning bevestig, en beklemtoon Suid-Afrikaners wil hê die dialoog moet voortgaan:

President Cyril Ramaphosa will TODAY lead the National Women's Day Commemoration at the Nkowankowa Stadium in Tzaneen, Limpopo Province. Women's Month 2025 marks the 69th anniversary of the historic 1956 demonstration in which 20 000 women marched to the Union Buildings on 9 August to protest against the extension of pass laws and the Urban Areas Act. President Ramaphosa will address the commemoration under the theme "Building Resilient Economies for All". Bongiwe Zwane spoke to our reporter Koketso Motau

President Cyril Ramaphosa het per telefoon met sy Russiese ampsgenoot, Vladimir Putin, gepraat oor die oorlog in Oekraïne en sake van gemeenskaplike, bilaterale belang. Sedert Rusland se volskaalse inval in Oekraïne het Westerse nasies verreikende sanksies teen Moskou ingestel in ʼn poging om sy oorlogspoging te stuit. Suid-Afrika het egter ʼn beleid van nie-belyning met beide lande. Ramaphosa se woordvoerder, Vincent Magwenya, sê die bespreking het gevolg na Putin se versoek om Ramaphosa in te lig oor die vredesproses met Oekraïne:

Die families en oorlewendes van apartheidsmisdade het president Cyril Ramaphosa se aansoek om 'n grondwetlike skadevergoedingsaak uit te stel, gekritiseer. Die families eis 168-miljoen-rand vir wat hulle die staat se growwe versuim noem om politieke misdade, wat die Waarheids- en Versoeningskommissie uitgewys het, te ondersoek en te vervolg. Ramaphosa wil hê die Hooggeregshof in Pretoria moet die skadevergoedingsaak staak hangende 'n ondersoek deur 'n kommissie van ondersoek. Zaid Kimmie van die Foundation for Human Rights sê die families soek geregtigheid:

John Maytham speaks to Adriaan Basson, Editor-in-Chief of News24, whose recent column suggests that Ramaphosa could have averted some of this economic fallout — by doing more to engage the Trump administration.

Veteran columnist William Saunderson-Meyer, in conversation with Alec Hogg, delivers a scathing critique of the Democratic Alliance's role in the Government of National Unity. From the sidelining of Emma Powell to the silent complicity over Pretoria Girls High, Saunderson-Meyer warns the DA is trading its liberal soul for power - while Ramaphosa quietly accelerates the ANC's National Democratic Revolution.

Counsel on behalf of the families and survivors of apartheid-era gross human rights violations argue that his clients cannot be expected to put their case on hold pending the outcome of the Commission of Inquiry tasked with probing whether there was any political interference in the prosecution of TRC Cases. This is in response to President Ramaphosa's bid - before the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria - for a stay of the constitutional damages case against them. The damages case, launched in January this year, seeks to have government's conduct in obstructing the investigation or prosecution of apartheid-era cases referred by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to the National Prosecuting Authority declared unlawful and in violation of the applicants' human rights. For more about the case we spoke to Former Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Commissioner, Yasmin Sooka

Cope sê die voortgesette erosie van etiese regering onder Ramaphosa se leierskap is verraad teen die demokratiese waardes waarvoor Suid-Afrikaners geveg het. Die party sê adjunkpresident Paul Mashatile se versuim om 'n diamantgeskenk van 'n twyfelagtige sakeman te verklaar, tesame met Ramaphosa se weiering om aanspreeklikheid te eis, illustreer 'n leierskapsgaping wat deur straffeloosheid gekenmerk word. Teboho Loate van Cope sê Ramaphosa se stilswye en afwysing bevorder 'n houding van geen aanspreeklikheid wat openbare vertroue ondermyn:

Saftu doen 'n beroep op president Cyril Ramaphosa om 'n nasionale noodvergadering te belê om die besluit van president Donald Trump te bespreek om 'n straftarief van 30-persent op Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoere in te stel. Saftu se woordvoerder, Asive Dyani, sê Ramaphosa moet uiteenlopende handel bespoedig, die vryhandelsgebied van die Afrika-vasteland ten volle benut en ekonomiese bande sluit met Latyns-Amerika, Asië en die Globale Suide:

In the latest Sunday Show, Chris Steyn talks to Security Expert Brad Steyn about another tumultuous week in South African politics: He slams the “dangerous deflection” used by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his handling of the US export tariff crisis and a Presidency “more concerned with BRICS handshakes than backbone diplomacy”. Steyn also warns of dirty tricks to undermine the whistleblowing KZN General “Lucky” Mkhwanazi. “There is a rogue SAPS investigation underway, meaning the cover-up is beginning. The goal is to undermine reformers like Mkhwanazi before their testimony even sees daylight. This is incredibly concerning because the same tactics used in SAPS purges, intelligence shutdowns and factional suppressions happened under the Zuma administration. So it comes straight out of this ANC playbook.” As for the opulent lifestyle of Deputy President Paul Mashatile, Steyn says: “… insiders… now fear that his 2027 presidential bid is toxic and triggering a full potential ANC leadership collapse”. Steyn further warns of “foreign capture” saying: “…we're not just dealing with ANC incompetence, we're dealing with foreign intelligence infiltration. Right here… Iranian agents, Russian operatives and other foreign intelligence entities are being allowed to operate freely under the blind eye…”

Action Society het president Cyril Ramaphosa gekritiseer omdat hy nie die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu, afgedank het nie, te midde van ernstige bewerings teen hom van sameswering met misdaadsindikate. Die organisasie voer aan Ramaphosa se besluit om die duur Madlanga-kommissie ter waarde van 148 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand van stapel te stuur in plaas van om Mchunu te verwyder, is ondoeltreffend. Juanita du Preez van Action Society meen dis onwaarskynlik dat hierdie benadering geregtigheid of werklike hervorming sal meebring, net soos die Zondo-kommissie.

President Cyril Ramaphosa says he remains hopeful that ongoing talks with Washington will help ease new US tariffs on South African goods. This follows a 30% tariff introduced by US President Donald Trump, targeting multiple nations including South Africa as part of a wider global trade reset. Ramaphosa says South Africa has tabled a trade framework seeking exemptions and mutual investment opportunities. Ramaphosa further says Government is also finalising support measures for affected industries, while continuing diplomatic efforts to protect local jobs and strengthen alternative export markets. The New tariffs to essentially take effect in six days' time. For more on this, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Trade, Industry and Competition Ministerial Spokesperson, Kaamil Alli as well as Khaya Sithole, an independent economic analyst

President Cyril Ramaphosa is “a prisoner of his own party secrets”. So says former double agent and Mandela spy, Brad Steyn, who was Neil de Beer's brother-in-arms. Steyn - who is now an independent security expert - gives the backstory to Ramaphosa's rise and reveals the role played by Police Minister Senzo Mchunu - now on special leave. Hailing the bravery of SAPS whistleblower General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, Steyn describes how other police generals were burnt when they spoke truth to power. He expresses concern that incoming Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia is “just another cadre deployment”. Commenting on deepening factions in the African National Congress (ANC) as top members jockey to be the party's next leader, Steyn labels Deputy President Paul Mashatile an “absolutle nightmare” - and says: “what we are witnessing isn't democracy, it's survival and contest for the corrupt elites… and every move is shadowed by dirty money, spy games, and fears of prosecution”. As for the raging diplomatic war between the US and SA, he says: “South Africa is punching way above their diplomatic weight and way below our ethical belt… we've weaponised transformation into a tender cartel and now the world's pulling back the curtain - and you can't blame them.” He fingers BRICS as a “big, big obstacle” and says it is “not a moral alliance”, but “an opportunistic economic bloc…built on double standards and dirty deals, back ends…bribes.”

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die Noord-Kaap se groenwaterstof-meesterplan is 'n toekomstige ekonomiese kragbron, wat die middelpunt is van Suid-Afrika se hernubare energie-oorgang en noodsaaklik vir die land se langtermyn-ekonomiese groei. Ramaphosa het gepraat op 'n vergadering met die provinsiale leierskap in Kimberley. Hy sê hy glo die plan sal nie net die plaaslike ekonomie 'n hupstoot gee nie, maar ook nasionale ontwikkeling steun en die breër Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap-streek versterk:

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Tshidi Madia, Associate Political Editor, as she brings sharp insight and political depth to another turbulent week in South African politics on The Political Desk. She unpacks the investigation into Kenny Kunene, found at the home of a murder accused, and questions whether this could damage his standing in Johannesburg or be another scandal he survives. They then examine President Ramaphosa’s suspension of Andrew Chauke, alleged to have enabled State Capture—probing whether this move is genuine accountability or political optics. Madia also reflects on the ousting of Nkabane and the entry of Buti Manamela into Higher Education, questioning if it's about performance or ANC factionalism. In her Politricking segment, she revisits her conversation with Helen Zille, drawing sharp contrasts between her governance vision and the current instability within the ANC. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Advocate Paul Pretorius SC, Senior Counsel at the Johannesburg Bar and former Chief Evidence Leader at the Zondo Commission, about the newly announced Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, tasked with investigating alleged deep-rooted dysfunction in South Africa’s law enforcement sector. With the terms of reference released by President Ramaphosa just yesterday, Pretorius weighs in on whether the commission can truly cut to the heart of systemic issues or if it risks becoming yet another political whitewash. They explore critical questions around the scope, urgency, and impact of the inquiry: Will its recommendations be taken seriously? Is there institutional will and capacity to act on them? Drawing on his experience with the Zondo Commission, Pretorius provides insight into what it takes for such a process to succeed in the face of entrenched resistance and political inertia. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

The DA's spokesperson on foreign affairs, Emma Powell, found herself at the wrong end of a powerful assault by the State last week after she notified the country that President Cyril Ramaphosa's Special Envoy to the US (and, subsequently, to North America), Mcebisi Jonas, had done little or no work trying to heal our battered relationship with the Donald Trump White House in the 90 plus days since he was appointed. In fact, the Americans wanted nothing to do with him and had declined his request for a diplomatic visa. The National Security Council, which reports directly to Ramaphosa alerted The Sowetan to a report it has done on Powell and accused her of running the country down during a trip to the US in February. The newspaper splashed the story as the Presidency put out a statement calling her part of “a right wing nexus” acting against South Africa's interests abroad. Powell tells Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge that this is nonsense. "It's an empirical fact that the ANC had done nothing of value or meaning in order to shore up and rebuild trust with the United States in order to safeguard South Africa's interests in regards to our continued inclusion in Agoa beyond September,” she says. “We were trying to do our part and waving South Africa's flag”. 

Bongani Bingwa speaks to political analyst Thobani Zikalala about the deepening scandal surrounding suspended minister Senzo Mchunu, who’s been placed on special leave amid explosive allegations of interfering in criminal investigations to shield allies. The claims, raised by KZN Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, have led to a string of arrests, some involving individuals named directly by the commissioner. With pressure mounting, President Ramaphosa has set up a Commission of Inquiry to probe the matter, while Parliament's portfolio committee on justice is pushing for an ad hoc committee to investigate.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Musi Maimane, Chairperson of Parliament’s Standing Committee on Appropriations, as the Government of National Unity (GNU) faces its most critical moment yet: passing the national budget. The ANC has spent the past week scrambling for support, with the DA refusing to back the Appropriations Bill if it funds ANC ministers implicated in misconduct. In a high-stakes move, President Ramaphosa fired Minister Nkabane in an attempt to secure DA votes, but will it be enough? A failed budget would not only deal a blow to the GNU’s stability but could also halt funding for essential services like schools, hospitals, and public sector salaries. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Die DA sê sy lid Emma Powell se onthulling oor Mcebisi Jonas het 'n ernstige geloofwaardigheidskwessie vir president Cyril Ramaphosa geskep. Die party sê Ramaphosa het Jonas aangestel om Suid-Afrika se diplomatieke, handels- en bilaterale belange met die VSA te bevorder nadat ambassadeur Ebrahim Rasool uitgeskop is. Willie Aucamp van die DA sê sedert Powell se onthulling is die weiering van Jonas se VSA-visum nie ontken nie, nie deur die Presidensie of die ANC nie:

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê miljarde rande is verhaal in staatskapingsvervolgings, 'n aanduiding van vordering met die herstel van aanspreeklikheid en vertroue in regeringsinstellings. Ramaphosa het in sy reaksie op die begroting van die Presidensie die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag en die Spesiale Ondersoekeenheid se pogings geprys om korrupte individue te vervolg en gesteelde openbare fondse terug te eis. Hy sê geld wat verhaal is sal gebruik word om dienslewering te ondersteun en instellings te herbou wat deur korrupsie geraak is:

Die leier van Build One South Africa, Mmusi Maimane, het president Cyril Ramaphosa gekritiseer omdat hy nie die land se moordkrisis aanpak nie. Maimane het in die parlement die meer as 26 000 moorde verlede jaar vergelyk met 'n oorlogsone. Hy vra Ramaphosa om beslissende stappe te doen. Maimane beklemtoon onmiddellike optrede word benodig, veral ná die KwaZulu-Natalse polisiekommissaris, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, se bewerings teen die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu:

What's really going on with crime in South Africa? How did we get to this point? Phumi Mashigo gets investigative journalist and AmaBhungane's Sam Sole to unpack the alarming state of crime and policing in South Africa today. Following the theatrics of Police Commissioner Mkhwanazi and more recently, the implications of President Ramaphosa's fifth judicial commission, together they look at what this could all mean for the country's future. The Burning Platform

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die regering van nasionale eenheid sal fokus op ekonomiese hervorming, misdaadbekamping en die bou van 'n bekwame staat. Ramaphosa het tydens die begroting van die Presidensie in die Parlement gesê alle departemente moet saamwerk om die ekonomie te laat groei, armoede te verminder en dienslewering te verbeter. Hy voeg by die RNE is daarop gemik om vertroue te herbou en werklike verandering te bewerkstellig, met die nasionale dialoog as 'n belangrike platform om Suid-Afrikaners te verenig:

Die Forum vir Suid-Afrika beskuldig president Cyril Ramaphosa van magsmisbruik om korrupsie te beskerm ten koste van belastingbetalers. Die forum se woordvoerder, Tebogo Mashilompane, sê Ramaphosa beskerm die elite en ignoreer gewone Suid-Afrikaners se stryd. Mashilompane kritiseer ook sy versuim om die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu, af te dank, omdat hy na bewering onder eed gelieg het. Hy sê die forum eis Ramaphosa se onmiddellike bedanking:

Die GOOD-party sê president Cyril Ramaphosa moet dringend die volk oor die diplomatieke strategie vir die VSA inlig. Dit volg na die DA se bewerings dat Ramaphosa maande reeds geweet het dat die spesiale gesant, voormalige adjunkminister van Finansies, Mcebisi Jonas, 'n visum deur Amerika geweier is. Die sekretaris-generaal van die GOOD-party, Brett Herron, sê om aan te hou om Jonas as 'n aktiewe gesant voor te stel kom neer op misleiding en kan Suid-Afrika se kans benadeel om dreigende 30-persent heffings te vermy:

Nicholas Lorimer and Makone Maja discuss the allegations from the DA that the United States has denied credentials to Mcebisi Jonas, Ramaphosa's special envoy to the US. They also discuss protests against infrastructure projects in poor areas. Website · Facebook · Instagram · Twitter
