The South African National Editors' Forum has launched a campaign called "Appointment with the President," urging President Cyril Ramaphosa to hold an open dialogue with the media. The forum says it's time for the President to engage directly with editors and senior journalists, a common practice in democracies worldwide. SANEF expressed frustration, noting that Ramaphosa's last such meeting was during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Elvis Presslin spoke to Deputy Chairperson of the South African National Editors' Forum, Tshamano Makhadi

Nicholas Lorimer and Michael Morris discuss Ramaphosa's refusal to meet with his coalition partners in the GNU. They also chat about comments that SA's crime situation is not that bad, and they finish off with a discussion of the shocking amount of money stolen from Tembisa Hospital.

There are 34 proposed witnesses to give evidence at the Ad Hoc Committee set up to investigate allegations of corruption in the country's judicial system and law enforcement made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. President Cyril Ramaphosa is one of the those expected to be called by the committee. Ramaphosa, National Police Commissioner Fanie Masemola, his deputy, Shadrack Sibiya, and Police Minister, Senzo Mchunu, who is currently on special leave, are all expected to appear before the committee. Mkhwanazi will appear before the committee on the 7th of October. Abra Barbier filed this report voiced by producer Sisanda Jonas To further discuss what is coming out of the Madlanga commission , Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Professor William Gumede of the School of Governance at Wits University and Andy Mashaile , security analyst and former SA interpol Crime Ambassador

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:

President Ramaphosa sinspeel daarop dat Suid-Afrika gasheer kan speel vir vredesgesprekke tussen Oekraïne en Rusland. Ons praat met 'n psigiater oor die tekens van iemand wat selfdood beplan. Die Bokke pak die Poemas môre in Durban.

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê sommige nasies kan duisend-miljarde beskikbaarstel om hul burgers en ekonomieë teen pandemies en ander krisisse te beskerm, terwyl ander gekniehalter word deur skuld en gebrek aan toegang tot globale kapitaal. Hy het deelgeneem aan die tweejaarlikse beraad vir ʼn volhoubare, veerkragtige en inklusiewe wêreldekonomie by die Verenigde Nasies se Algemene Vergadering in New York. Ramaphosa sê om die finansieringsgaping in volhoubare ontwikkelingsdoelwitte te sluit, moet dapper maatreëls ingestel word:

Die ANC-jeugliga sê president Cyril Ramaphosa se toespraak by die 80ste Algemene Vergadering van die Verenigde Nasies stem ooreen met sy stryd vir ʼn regverdige, billike en mensgesentreerde wêreld. Die president het Dinsdag in sy toespraak gevra vir hervorming van die VN-veiligheidsraad en aanspreeklikheid vir oortredings van internasionale reg. Die jeugliga se nasionale woordvoerder, Zama Khanyase, sê hulle loof Ramaphosa se bevestiging van Suid-Afrika se geskiedkundige teenkanting teen imperialisme en die hervorming van wêreldwye beheerinstellings:

Die Forum for South Africa sê president Cyril Ramaphosa moet aanspreeklik gehou word vir die versuim om op te tree teen die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu, se poging om die politiekemoorde-taakspan te ontbind. In getuienis voor die Madlanga-kommissie gister het die nasionale polisiekommissaris, Fannie Masemola, onthul dat hy Ramaphosa ingelig het oor Mchunu se poging om die taakspan te ontbind. Mchunu is tans met spesiale verlof. Die forum se leier, Tebogo Mashilompane, sê die president het stilgebly hoewel hy bewus was van die besluit:

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê Suid-Afrika herhaal sy standpunt dat ʼn aangrensende Palestynse staat volgens die 1967-grense geskep word wat vreedsaam saam het die Israelse staat bestaan. Hy het gister by die konferensie oor ʼn tweestaatoplossing gepraat by die 80ste sitting van die Verenigde Nasies se Algemene Vergadering in New York. Ramaphosa sê die sukses van ʼn tweestaatoplossing hang af van die volle en universele respek vir internasionale reg:

Bongani Bingwa speaks to presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya, as President Cyril Ramaphosa calls for sweeping reforms at the United Nations. With South Africa chairing the G20 and heading into the 80th UN General Assembly, Ramaphosa says the UN is no longer fit for purpose — warning that outdated structures, veto power, and narrow national interests are blocking global progress on peace, climate action, poverty, and human rights. His sharpest criticism is aimed at the UN Security Council, where the same five permanent members still dominate decision-making. Ramaphosa argues it’s time for the Global South to have a real seat at the table. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

At BNIC#2 in Hermanus, entrepreneur and outspoken activist Rob Hersov delivered a wide-ranging Q&A that touched on the potential of Patrice Motsepe as South Africa's president, the paralysis of Cyril Ramaphosa, and why Cape independence is improbable but federalisation viable. Hersov praised Motsepe's integrity and business acumen, blasted the ANC's culture of mutual compromise, and called for stronger protection of whistleblowers. He also offered bold perspectives on Trump's record, America's ties to the Western Cape, the transformative role of AI, and the need for coalitions to shift South Africa in the right direction.

President Cyril Ramaphosa will lead South Africa's delegation at the 80th United Nations General Assembly, in New York tomorrow, as international momentum builds for Palestinian statehood. On the eve of the session, several nations are poised to formally recognise an independent Palestine to amplify calls for a two-state solution. Ramaphosa's speech is expected to highlight South Africa's support for Palestine, while drawing parallels to our own anti-apartheid struggle. This as the country navigates its own tensions with the USA. For analysis on the matter, Elvis Presslin spoke to Dr. Kingsley Makhubela, a former diplomat and International Relations Expert

President Cyril Ramaphosa het hom verbind om op te tree wanneer die Madlanga-kommissie se bevindings bekendgemaak word. Die kommissie wat bewerings van misdadigheid, politieke inmenging en korrupsie in die regstelsel moet ondersoek, het Woensdag begin. Die tussentydse verslae sal na verwagting binne drie tot ses maande beskikbaar wees. Ramaphosa het aan die SABC gesê van die dinge wat reeds uitgekom is, is skokkend en kommerwekkend:

Today's Daily Friend show with Nicholas Lorimer, Anlu Keeve and Ricardo Teixeira. They discuss the fallout from Ramaphosa's comments that the ANC could learn from the DA about clean audits. They also discuss the horrific state of the South African Defence Forces which has stalled its modernisation programs and seems to be short changing its soldiers who were deployed to DRC.

Trump kreeg in het Verenigd Koninkrijk een staatsbanket met 139 kaarsen, 1.452 stuks bestek en cognac uit het geboortejaar van zijn Schotse moeder. Alles werd uit de Britse kast getrokken voor de komst van de Amerikaanse president. "We keken naar een gigantisch spektakel en enorm theater", zegt Clara van de Wiel, adjunct-hoofdredacteur van NRC. "Waarin de Britse regering z'n beste beentje voorzette om Trump op allerlei vlakken gunstig te stemmen." Dat begon al met de uitnodigingsbrief van Starmer in februari. "Wereldpolitiek is voor een deel dat toneelstukje, laten zien hoe de verhoudingen liggen. Nu laat het Verenigd Koninkrijk aan Trump zien dat ze hem enorm waarderen en aan de borst willen koesteren." Dat het wel de Champions League van het paaien leek, stemt Sander Heijne, hoofdredacteur van Vrij Nederland, mee in. "Het laat zien dat Trump de bovenliggende partij is, maar we moeten opletten dat we ons als Europese landen niet als vazalstaten van de VS gaan gedragen. We kunnen als Europa sterk genoeg zijn." Heijne geeft toe dat Rutte, evenals andere Europese leiders, zich ook schuldig heeft gemaakt aan het slijmen bij Trump. "Maar dat is een gevaarlijke strategie. Hij vindt het heel leuk, maar het werkt niet." Van de Wiel stemt hiermee in: "Het zijn steeds dagkoersen." Spraakmaker Daaf Borren, voormalig correspondent in Afrika, moet denken aan het moment dat Ramaphosa, de president van Zuid-Afrika, in een ambush werd gelokt in het Witte Huis, net als later Zelensky overkwam, en zei: "Sorry, President Trump, that we don't have a plane for you." "Die vorm zouden we als Europa wel eens aan mogen nemen, in plaats van de ‘met hangende pootjes'-houding." Eveline van Rijswijk van het Taalteam sluit het Mediaforum af.

Explosive testimony at the Madlanga Commission as KZN's police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi warns that politicians are shielding criminal networks and South Africa's justice system risks collapse. The ANC's NEC scrambles to fix failing municipalities, with Ramaphosa defending lessons from DA-run metros. In business, Renergen secures a Nasdaq buyer in a landmark gas deal, while the Fed's modest rate cut rattles markets - sending gold to record highs before retreating. Plus, China pushes back on Nvidia's latest chips

At BNIC#2 in Hermanus, political scientist Frans Cronje warned that the ANC's collapse is both inevitable and avoidable—simple reforms could revive growth and even secure the party's future, yet internal paralysis and structural resistance to change make this unlikely. He described Ramaphosa as a consensus-seeker unsuited to crisis leadership, predicting that rather than saving the ANC, he will preside over its demise. Cronje argued that South Africa faces a fork in the road: either a functional unitary state with easy fixes, or Balkanisation. He also pointed to the Western Cape as a long-term winner regardless of national outcomes. This BizNews production is brought to you by Brenthurst Wealth.

ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa has acknowledged that municipalities led by the Democratic Alliance are better managed than those under ANC control. Speaking to party councillors at the FNB Stadium in Soweto, Ramaphosa unveiled the ANC's Service Delivery Action Plan ahead of next year's municipal elections. The six-pillar plan aims to address widespread service delivery challenges in local government. Ramaphosa called on the ANC to take lessons from the DA's governance. Senior politics reporter, Ntebo Mokobo filed this report and Elvis Presslin spoke to ANC veteran and political analyst, Omry Makgoale for his analysis on Ramaphosa's sentiments

President Cyril Ramaphosa goes to the US in the next few weeks to address the United Nations General Assembly. But will his trade negotiators currently in Washington have made enough progress by then to allow Ramaphosa to fly from New York to Washington to sign a trade deal that significantly reduces the crippling 30% tariffs US President Donald Trump has imposed on imports from South Africa? Former South African newspaper editor Phillip van Niekerk, now living in Washington, thinks a deal may be on the cards. “But, you know, South Africa has really dropped the ball (diplomatically in the US) And this goes back a long way. This doesn't, doesn't start with the Trump administration. It doesn't start now, in 2025. There's deep relationships between South Africa and the United States that back a long, long way.,” Van Niekerk tell Peter Bruce in this latest edition of Podcasts from the Edge.

President Cyril Ramaphosa says his administration is determined to address the service delivery challenges and the current mismanagement in the North West to restore public confidence. Accompanied by some of his cabinet ministers, Ramaphosa held a meeting with North West Premier Lazarus Mokgosi and his executive. Currently, the North West has the highest unemployment rate in the country at over 52 percent, and several municipalities have been affected by mismanagement. Ramaphosa says this has resulted in poor service delivery and a trust deficit. SABC reporter Ntebo Mokobo has more details To discuss the issues raised at the Presidential engagement in the North West, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Professor Kedibone Phago, Director of the School of Government Studies at the North-West University

Speaking at the second BizNews Investment Conference (BNIC#2) in Hermanus, former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter warned that South Africa faces the same collapse conditions as 1989, but said bold leadership could spark renewal. He called for a “fantasy SONA” in 2026: needs-based empowerment, a new Scorpions, fiscal discipline, and market-friendly reforms. With five months to act, he urged Ramaphosa to choose between quiet failure - or a legacy-defining pivot to growth and prosperity. This BizNews production is brought to you by Brenthurst Wealth.

President Cyril Ramaphosa het die rol van adjunkministers verdedig, ten spyte van kritiek oor die hoë koste vir belastingbetalers. Ramaphosa het in die parlement gesê adjunkministers voeg steeds waarde by die regering se bedrywighede. Athol Trollip van ActionSA voer aan dat 42 adjunkministers verkwistende uitgawes is en op begunstiging neerkom. Ramaphosa het erken dat hy 'n kleiner uitvoerende gesag verkies, maar sê om die regering van nasionale eenheid te akkommodeer, word 'n breër kabinet vereis:

President Ramaphosa doubles down on the National Dialogue as critics circle, while SA heads back to Washington to battle painful US tariffs. 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.

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:

President Cyril Ramaphosa het die president van Brasilië, Lula da Silva, se beroep vir 'n wapenstilstand in Gaza en die erkenning van self-beskikking vir Palestina, ondersteun. Hy het gedurende 'n buitengewone virtuele vergadering van die BRICS-leiers gesê blywende vrede is nodig vir 'n tweestaat-oplossing.

Clement Manyathela speaks to presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya after President Cyril Ramaphosa publicly rebuked National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola for returning 121 political killings dockets to KwaZulu-Natal. The move has sparked outrage, with critics warning it could undermine the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, which is tasked with investigating corruption and political interference within the South African Police Service. As concerns mount over delayed justice in politically sensitive cases, questions arise about public trust: can South Africans still believe in the integrity of law enforcement? And what signal does this send to whistle-blowers and families still waiting for justice? 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Die Activists and Citizens Forum sê president Cyril Ramaphosa het die mense van Suid-Afrika in die steek gelaat. Dit volg na inwoners van Westbury in Johannesburg, Gauteng, die week die strate ingevaar het oor 'n gebrek aan skoon drinkwater en ander basiese dienste. Dennis Bloem van die forum voer aan dat toestande onder Ramaphosa se leierskap vererger het, met munisipaliteite wat in duie stort en wydverspreide korrupsie:

Lex Libertas just released a report called "The many, many commissions of Cyril Ramaphosa". This report shed some light on all the judiciary commissions, dialogues, panels, advisory councils and task teams Ramaphosa has established since the start of his presidency. Lex Libertas argues that this amounts to a repetitive delay tactic to deflect from taking decisive action which might lead to internal divisions in the ruling political elite. As a result, the general public suffers from commission fatigue, and a loss of faith in the South African government. Further, Lex Libertas argues that the solution is decentralisation of the political system in South Africa to facilitate autonomy and self-governance for the various communities that live here.

AfriForum verwelkom die Gelykheidshof se uitspraak teen die EFF-leier Julius Malema. Die hof het Malema skuldig bevind aan haatspraak en aanhitsing tot geweld oor sy opmerkings in 2022 in sy toespraak by die EFF se derde provinsiale volksvergadering in die Wes-Kaap. Ernst van Zyl van AfriForum sê die uitspraak bevestig en beklemtoon wat almal reeds weet, naamlik dat Malema en die EFF ekstremiste is wat geweld teen minderhede aanhits en ʼn boodskap van rassehaat verkondig:

In today's BizNews Briefing, South African legend Jannie Mouton announces a bold shift to turn Curro into a non-profit, reshaping education's future. A new poll puts the DA ahead of the ANC, raising questions about Ramaphosa's presidency. Plus, Trump's assault on the Federal Reserve sparks global alarm, and Cadillac makes a high-profile entry into Formula One.

South African researcher, author and analyst Prof Richard Calland tells Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge “ are fatigued by a weak government, by extremely precarious socioeconomic conditions and by a sense of going backwards of not making progress. But it's easy to criticise our president. It's easy to say he's not ruthless enough, not decisive enough, not strategic enough but we have to maintain a sense of perspective and balance in our commentary.” And the voters and upcoming elections? “The ANC appears now to be in terminal decline, and I've long held the view that once the breach was broken and the a ANC lost its majority, that it might well enter a free fall period [and] I think we're in that. And of course once Ramaphosa goes and, and he's the last of that generation of serious politicians, then you are in a sense, you're dropping down a division.”

Clement Manyathela and the listeners discuss the continued animosity between former President Jacob Zuma and President Cyril Ramaphosa. Listeners also comment on whether General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s response to a journalist who requested information from him was fair. Mkhwanazi is alleged to have accused the journalist of being a beneficiary of criminal syndicates.

In the middle of the night, the House narrowly passes Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," a witch's brew of tax cuts for the wealthiest and benefit cuts for the neediest, sending it on to the Senate. Jon and Dan talk about what Democrats can do to stop the bill—and the upside of Republicans passing something so massively unpopular, Trump's "white genocide" show-and-tell for South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, and the damning new data showing why Kamala Harris lost the 2024 presidential election. Then, Dan talks with Rep. LaMonica McIver about getting slapped with criminal charges by Trump's Justice Department, and what it means for the executive branch to be targeting legislators for doing their job.
