RISE Mzansi sê Suid-Afrika se gevangenisse is oorvol, met ongevonniste gevangenes wat aansienlik tot die krisis bydra.

Die Oos-Kaap staar die ergste oorbevolking in die gesig, met Butterworth se aanhoudingsfasiliteit wat 231-persent vol is. Seabe doen 'n beroep op alternatiewe vonnisoplegging, herstellende geregtigheid en maatreëls om die risiko te verminder dat gevangenes by bendes aansluit:

RISE Mzansi sal Vrydag die 1,5 triljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand dobbelkrisis in Suid-Afrika tydens 'n mini-debat in die Nasionale Vergadering in die kollig plaas. Die Nasionale Dobbelraad se jongste verslag toon die bruto dobbelinkomste het van 59 miljard rand in 2023/24 gestyg tot 75 miljard rand in 2024/25, wat dui op 'n dringende behoefte aan ingryping. RISE Mzansi se Parlementslid, Makashule Gana, sê die veldtog poog om die maatskaplike en openbare gesondheidsuitwerking van dobbel te bespreek, aangesien dit lewens en lewensbestaan vernietig:

Rise Mzansi sê die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu se besluit om die vul van poste by Misdaadintelligensie te staak, het die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens se vermoë verswak om misdaad te bekamp. Makashule Gana van die party sê die bevriesing het 18 poste geraak, insluitend senior bestuurders en sosiale media-spesialiste, in sleutelprovinsies soos KwaZulu-Natal, die Oos-Kaap en die Wes-Kaap, streke wat die swaarste deur georganiseerde misdaad, politieke moorde en bendegeweld getref is:

Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader Gayton McKenzie is today celebrating two historic by-election wins. In this edition of the Electoral Roadshow, Elections Analyst Wayne Sussman tells Chris Steyn: “It is absolutely historic that the Patriotic Alliance have won a ward in Soweto and they did it by totally eviscerating the Democratic Alliance and the ANC and all other parties." The PA is also celebrating a historic win in the Overberg. “So you continue to see the PA make inroads in different parts of the Western Cape.” Commenting on McKenzie's leadership style, Sussens says: ….similar to Donald Trump, Gayton McKenzie knows where the camera is and he knows how to be the centre of attention. It is a great political skill….This is a person who isn't politically correct. He calls a spade a spade and he uses leverage against the ANC in the GNU…This is a politician whose party stock is clearly continuing to rise..” Another party celebrating this morning is ActionSA. “ActionSA made history by winning their first ever ward in the Northwest and their first ever by-election…Unbelievable result.” As for the possible impact of the merger between both BOSA, GOOD, and Rise Mzansi, Sussman says if they run good mayoral campaigns, "maybe they can be kingmakers in some metros".

RISE Mzansi sê president Cyril Ramaphosa moet dringend die omvang van die regterlike kommissie van ondersoek na die Polisiediens publiseer sodat dit met sy werk kan begin. Die kommissie sal die rol van huidige of voormalige senior ampsdraers in sekere instellings ondersoek wat moontlik beweerde misdadige bedrywighede aangehelp of aangemoedig het. Makashule Gana van RISE Mzansi sê dis van die uiterste belang dat alle prosesse wat tot die parlementêre en regterlike ondersoeke lei, die regte prosedure moet volg:

Rise Mzansi sê die parlementêre ondersoek na bewerings van politieke inmenging in die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens is nie genoeg nie, en moedig president Cyril Ramaphosa aan om dringend in te tree. Die party vra vir 'n kommissie van ondersoek, onder leiding van 'n afgetrede regter, om die aantygings wat polisiekommissaris, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, gemaak het, ten volle te ondersoek. Makashule Gana van Rise Mzansi sê Ramaphosa moet nou optree aangesien die krisis in die polisie die land se sekerheid bedreig:

Rise Mzansi sê die misbruik van openbare fondse en onetiese leierskap moet tot 'n einde kom. Die party verwelkom die Parlement se Staande Komitee oor Openbare Rekeninge se ondersoek na die 50 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand Padongelukkefonds, wat aantygings van wanadministrasie, roekelose besteding, en finansiële wangedrag insluit. Makashule Gana van Rise Mzansi moedig die komitee aan om alles moontlik te doen om individue en entiteite aanspreeklik te hou:

Die leier van RISE Mzansi, Songezo Zibi, beklemtoon die noodsaaklikheid om die nalatenskap van die Soweto-opstand van 16 Junie 1976 te eerbiedig, ter ere van die jeug wat teen apartheid se onderwysbeleid gestaan het. Die woordvoerder van RISE Mzansi, Mabine Seabe, sê Zibi doen 'n beroep op die stryd teen misdaad, korrupsie, honger en probleemdobbelary, terwyl 'n billike ekonomie en 'n toekomsgerigte onderwysstelsel vir alle Suid-Afrikaners gebou word:

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:

Bongani Bingwa speaks with Songezo Zibi, National Leader of RISE Mzansi and Chairperson of Parliament's Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA), about the country's fiscal future.

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 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 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 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 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.

“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.
