Die ANC het die onttrekking van die voorgestelde BTW-verhoging en die hersiening van die 2025 fiskale raamwerk verwelkom, en dit 'n politieke oorwinning, gebaseer op demokratiese konsultasie, genoem. Die party sê die besluit het gevolg op gesprekke met tien ander partye in die Parlement, insluitend die IVP, ActionSA, Rise Mzansi en Build One South Africa. Die sekretaris-generaal van die ANC, Fikile Mbalula, het aan die media gesê die uitkoms bewys dat politieke samewerking moontlik en noodsaaklik is vir doeltreffende regering:

Rise Mzansi has written to Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana, urging swift resolution to the budget deadlock the party which says threatens national credibility and economic stability. Following high-level meetings with Parliament, the ANC, and the President, the party proposes re-allocating military and gambling revenues, tightening tax collection. The party Mzansi warns, continued delays will deepen fiscal damage and erode trust in South Africa's economic governance. Elvis Presslin spoke to Rise Mzansi leader Songezo Zibi

RISE Mzansi Sounds Alarm on South Africa's Escalating Gambling Crisis - Makashule Gana by Radio Islam

RISE Mzansi sê hy bly verbind tot dobbelhervorming in die land. Die Nasionale Dobbelraad sê daar is 'n byna agtmalige toename in die aantal mense wat hulp soek. Makashule Gana van RISE Mzansi sê daar is sedert 2012 'n toename in probleemdobbel onder jongmense tussen 25 en 35 - die ouderdomsgroep wat in verhouding ook die meeste werkloosheid ondervind. Hy voeg by Suid-Afrikaners het in 2023/'24 'n duisend miljard-rand aan dobbelbedrywighede bestee.

Rise Mzansi dring aan op 'n ondersoek na die meer as 3 400 lisensies wat toegestaan is aan ambags- en kleinskaalse mynwerkers gedurende die laaste vyf jaar. Die party is besorg oor die toename in onwettige mynbou wat aanhou om lewens te eis en die regering van inkomste beroof. 'n Gesamentlike parlementêre komitee wat sal vandag onwettige mynbou-aktiwiteite bespreek. Makashule Gana van Rise Mzansi stel 'n elektroniese lisensie-opsporingstelsel voor om lisensiëring te bespoedig en wettige mynboubelegging aan te moedig:

RISE Mzansi se leier, Songezo Zibi, sê Suid-Afrika gaan dalk sukkel om die uitgeskopte Ebrahim Rasool te vervang as die land se ambassadeur in Amerika. Rasool het die posisie van 2010 tot 2015 beklee en weer vanaf verlede jaar. Hy is gevra om die land te verlaat nadat hy Donald Trump se leierskap as wit heerssugtigheid beskryf het. Rasool is 72-uur gegee om te vertrek en word dié week in Suid-Afrika terug verwag. Zibi het aan Newzroom Afrika gesê Amerika se besluit is 'n jammerte:

Rise Mzansi sê die groei in Gauteng is afhanklik van 'n behoorlike begroting en implementering, nie net planne nie. Die party verwelkom die provinsie se handelsooreenkoms met China, wat boere sal toelaat om rooibos, heuning, biltong en moringa uit te voer, maar waarsku teen korrupsie en swak bestuur, wat ekonomiese groei kan ontspoor. Gugu Ndima van Rise Mzansi vra dringende oplossings vir misdaad, infrastruktuur en sukkelende munisipaliteite om die provinsie op koers te hou:

RISE Mzansi has called on the Portfolio Committee on Transport to investigate claims of impropriety by Deputy President Paul Mashatile and Transport Minister Barbara Creecy in the selection of the new SAA CEO. A recent media report exposed that Minister Creecy is poised to recommend the least qualified candidate for the top spot - contradicting the airline's board preference. The Portfolio Committee on Transport will conduct an oversight visit at SAA's Airways Park today, to uncover the truth behind these allegations.

Rise Mzansi's Makashule Gana on SONA: "South Africa Must Reaffirm Its Sovereignty" by Radio Islam

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Songezo Zibi, leader of Rise Mzansi about the hardline approach by government in rescuing the Stilfontein illegal miners. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rise Mzansi leader and SCOPA chairperson in parliament, Songezo Zibi tells Peter Bruce in this first edition of the Podcasts from the Edge of 2025 that with the turn of Donald Trump to the White House and the removal of constraints from social media platforms like X (Twitter) and, now Facebook, he fears for where South Africans might go to look for the truth. Right now, he says, the truth can be whatever you're able to make other people believe. A young democracy like South Africa, he warns, is vulnerable. "We need to make the truth more interesting,” he says. “We need to get the truth into the ring. What does bloodlust on behalf of the truth look like?"

RISE Mzansi vra meer optrede om gemeenskappe te beveilig, nadat die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu, onthul het dat 20-persent van die verdagtes wat as deel van Operasie Shanela in hegtenis geneem is, vorige oortredings het. Volgens Mchunu is 21 104 van die meer as 1 miljoen gearresteerde verdagtes vrygelaat weens onvoldoende bewyse, met 386 198 wat tans voor die hof is. Makashule Gana van RISE Mzansi het die impak en veroordelingsyfer van Operasie Shanela geprys:

RISE Mzansi sê hy steun pogings deur die Gautengse LUR vir Landbou en Landelike Ontwikkeling, Vuyiswa Ramokgopa, om korrupsie en wanbestuur in landbouprojekte te ondersoek. Die party verwelkom Ramokgopa se ondersoek na die Farmyard-houerwinkelprojek wat die provinsie reeds 28 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand uit die sak gejaag het. Woordvoerder van RISE Mzansi, Gugu Ndima, sê die ondersoek sal daarop ingestel wees om die werklike koste van die projek te bepaal, vas te stel of oorspronklike doelwitte bereik is en om die operasionele status van die houers te beoordeel:

Rise Mzansi vra strenger toepassing en regulasies na 'n vlaag voorvalle van vermeende voedselvergiftiging in Gauteng, die Noord-Kaap en Limpopo. Die party vra 'n multi-dissiplinêre ondersoek, insluitend 'n hersiening van waar spaza-winkels en kleinhandelaars hulle aankope doen. Woordvoerder Makashule Gana vra gereelde terugvoering om waninligting te voorkom en die publiek te kalmeer:

Rise Mzansi dring aan op 'n doelgerigte, multi-dissiplinêre ondersoek ná die onlangse toename in gevalle van beweerde voedselvergiftiging, wat tot verskeie tragiese sterftes en die hospitalisering van leerders gelei het. Rise Mzansi se woordvoerder Gugu Ndima, beweer die voorvalle, insluitend een waar 25 leerders van die Laerskool Mshuluzane Mayisela in Bronkhorstspruit in die hospitaal beland het, vind té gereeld plaas om afgemaak te word as geïsoleerde voorvalle wat veroorsaak is deur kos wat verval het.

RISE Mzansi sê om ministers en adjunkministers veilig te hou word al hoe duurder vir die staat. Die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu, het onthul daar is in die afgelope twee boekjare 360-milljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand betaal aan oortyd vir lede van die BBP-beskermingseenheid. Makashule Gana van RISE Mzansi sê alle lyfwagte eis dieselfde aantal oortydure per maand, wat weens die buitengewone werksure, 100 uur is.

Rise Mzansi vra 'n hersiening van BTW-vrygestelde goedere en dienste om te help om die lewenskostekrisis die hoof te bied. In sy mini-vollesitting-toespraak in die Nasionale Vergadering het Makashule Gana van party gesê hoë misdaadkoerse, korrupsie en onvoldoende openbare dienste is die sleutel-aandrywers van lewenskoste. Gana stel oplossings voor soos die verskaffing van bekostigbare energie en water, die verbetering van openbare vervoer, en die versterking van die strafregstelsel om korrupsie teen te werk:

Dobbelary is nie net in Namibië 'n groot probleem nie. Rise Mzansi het Suid-Afrika se maatskaplike ontwikkeling-departement gevra om Sassa-begunstigdes te beskerm teen dobbel-verslawing. Hulle stel voor opvoedings- en beradingsprogramme word geskep vir maatskaplike toelae-ontvangers met dobbelprobleme. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met oud-ombudsman advokaat John Walters, wat sê dobbelary is 'n verslawing en 'n goeie dobbelaar weet wanneer om op te hou.

Rise Mzansi vra die Departement van Maatskaplike Ontwikkeling om ontvangers van Suid-Afrikaanse Maatskaplike Sekerheidsagentskap-toelaes te beskerm teen verslawing aan dobbelary. Hulle moedig die departement aan om saam te werk met die Departement van Handel, Nywerheid en Mededinging om opvoedings- en beradingsprogramme te skep vir toelae-ontvangers met dobbelprobleme. Makashule Gana van Rise Mzansi sê die departement se gebrek aan 'n plan teen die groeiende kwessie raak kwesbare groepe wat afhanklik is van maatskaplike toelaes:

RISE Mzansi sê hoewel die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie 'n geringe groei van 0,4-persent in die tweede kwartaal getoon het vergeleke met geen groei in die vorige kwartaal nie, is strukturele hervorming steeds nodig. Mabine Seabe van die party sê die groei is vér verwyder van die vyf-tot-ses-persent wat nodig is vir betekenisvolle werkskepping. Hy sê die prioriteit van die regering van nasionale eenheid moet die skepping van 'n inklusiewe en veerkragtige ekonomie wees wat werk skep:

Rise Mzansi vra vir ‘n omvattende benadering om misdaadsindikate te beveg, wat as blouligbendes bekend staan en hulle voordoen as polisiebeamptes met kentekens van die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens, uniforms en gesteelde vuurwapens. Die party versoek die betrokkenheid van Misdaadintelligensie, die Valke, gemeenskappe, academia en maatskaplike dienste om hierdie bendes af te takel aangesien hulle nasionale sekerheid ondermyn asook die publiek se vertroue in die polisie. Makashule Gana van Rise Mzansi eis deeglike ondersoeke om openbare veiligheid te verseker:

Rise Mzansi vra 'n deeglike ondersoek na die mishandeling van plaaswerkers in Limpopo na die wrede moord op Mariah Makgato en Lucia Ndlovu, na bewering deur die varkplaaseienaar Zachariah Olivier en sy medepligtiges. Die vroue, wat kos waarvan die datum verval het, op die plaas wou kry, is na bewering vermoor en vir die varke gevoer. Die woordvoerder van Rise Mzansi, Gugu Ndima, eis geregtigheid en moedig die departemente van Indiensneming en Arbeid, asook Landbou aan, om die omstandighede op die plaas en ander plase in die omgewing te ondersoek.

RISE Mzansi sê Suid-Afrika se werkloosheidskoers is 'n tikkende tydbom wat dringend aandag moet kry. Sowat 8,4-miljoen mense in die land is nou werkloos en meer as 75-persent van die mense is vir meer as 'n jaar lank sonder werk. RISE Mzansi se woordvoerder, Gugu Ndima, sê die stabilisering en die ekonomie, asook die skepping van werkgeleenthede wat leefbare lone betaal, is van die belangrikste verantwoordelikhede van die sewende administrasie:

Rise Mzansi leader and former Business Day editor Songezo Zibi says the Government of National Unity has seven months to get the country out of the woods. And he tells Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge that the DA is simply incapable of understanding why its competitors behave the way they do.

“If South Africa was that hostile towards African immigrants, I would expect that people would stop coming. If South Africa was such a deadly place to be an African national, then why would you still be seeing South Africa top the charts on the lists of immigrants flocking here?” - Makone Maja, Institute of Race Relations Chidimma Adetshina, a 23-year-old model based in Cape Town will be among the ten women who will be hoping to walk away with the Miss SA crown, this Saturday. But her participation has been rejected by some, questioning her nationality. She was born in South Africa to a Nigerian father and a mother who has Mozambican roots. The Patriotic Alliance, a party led by South Africa's Minister of Sport, Arts & Culture, Gayton McKenzie, says it's planning to interdict Chidimma from participating in the contest. But there are many others who've thrown their weight behind the 23-year-old. They include political parties like Rise Mzansi and the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania. Alan Kasujja attempts to find out why this issue is dividing South Africans.

RISE Mzansi ondersteun ten volle die oproep deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Pluimveevereniging om meer items sonder BTW in die winkelmandjie te kry. Die woordvoerder van RISE Mzansi, Gugu Ndima, sê dit sluit hoender in wat volgens die vereniging deur nagenoeg 66-persent van alle Suid-Afrikaners geëet word. Ndima sê die uitbreiding van voedselitems sonder BTW sal dringende verligting vir miljoene Suid-Afrikaners bring van die sosio-ekonomiese las van stygende voedselpryse.

Die nasionale leier van RISE Mzansi, Songezo Zibi, vra 'n vars regeringsperspektief op maatskaplike kwessies, waaronder misdaad en veiligheid, na die sluipmoordpoging op advokaat Coreth Naudé in eThekwini. Zibi sê daar moet 'n sterker staatsteenwoordigheid wees, en meegevoel met mense se lyding. Hy moedig president Cyril Ramaphosa aan om die land te inspireer en te verenig, en beklemtoon dringendheid en aanspreeklikheid met die hanteer van die huidige krisis en die skep van 'n toekoms van hoop.

Rise Mzansi sê gehalte basiese onderwys is ‘n reg, nie ‘n voorreg nie, en kritiseer die bestaande dubbelstelsel wat rykes bevoordeel. Hulle vra ook vir universele toegang tot gehalte onderwys, veilige leeromgewings asook beter belegging in skoolleierskap en onderwyser-ontwikkeling. ‘n Woordvoerder van Rise Mzansi, Makashule Gana, het die regering versoek om voorrang aan hierdie kwessies in die begroting te gee om te verseker geen kind word agtergelaat nie:

RISE Mzansi het sy nasionale voorsitter, Vuyiswa Ramokgopa, gelukgewens met haar aanwysing as die Gautengse LUR vir Landbou, Landelike Ontwikkeling en Landbouhervorming. Nasionale woordvoerder, Gugu Ndima, benadruk Ramokgopa se onderneming om die Grondwet te onderhou en die 16-miljoen inwoners van Gauteng te dien. Sy verwys na Ramokgopa se agenda, insluitende die beëindiging van honger, die bevordering van plaaslike voedselproduksie en die ondersteuning van kleinskaalse en stedelike boerdery.

In South Africa, efforts to complete the formation of a government of national unity led by the African National Congress (ANC) continue. Four new parties signed the Statement of Intent over the weekend to be part of the process. They are the Vryheidsfront Plus (Ff+), United Democratic Movement (UDM), Rise Mzansi, and Al Jama-ah. Professor Sipho Seepe, a political analyst and former deputy Vice Chancellor for Institutional Support at the University of Zululand, tells VOA's James Butty, the ANC is trying to invite as many parties as it can get to avoid being held hostage by the Democratic Alliance which obtained the second highest number votes in the May 29 elections.

Global condemnation was swift: France, the EU and other governments call on Israel to immediately halt all Rafah operations.
