Nestes últimos dias, a África do Sul está a ser abalada por uma nova onda de xenofobia, com grupos de cidadãos sul-africanos a atacarem imigrantes, queimarem as suas casas ou os seus comércios. Independentemente de estarem em situação legal ou não, os estrangeiros são acusados por estes grupos de "roubarem os empregos" dos nacionais, num contexto de grave crise social e económica no país, nomeadamente com uma taxa de desemprego de cerca de 32%. Depois de pelo menos nove moçambicanos terem morrido nas violências xenófobas, várias centenas de moçambicanos residentes no país têm estado a fugir da África do Sul, com algum apoio por parte de Maputo. A Nigéria, o Gana e o Maláui também estão a organizar o regresso a casa dos seus cidadãos expatriados na África do Sul. Uma situação que o executivo sul-africano lamenta mas perante a qual parece algo impotente, senão mesmo "complacente", acusam certos governos africanos mais críticos. A nível interno, em ano de eleições locais, a coligação governamental faz frente a sectores de opinião que tentam ganhar visibilidade a pretexto desta nova crise, considera André Thomashausen, professor emérito de direito internacional e constitucional da Universidade da África do Sul, em Pretória. O universitário refere todavia acreditar que este fenómeno não vai durar, por não ter -do seu ponto de vista- nenhum alicerce popular. RFI: Como é que analisa a situação vigente nestes últimos dias na África do Sul? André Thomashausen: Um aspecto deve ser considerado é o aspecto da política interna da África do Sul, em que o partido da esquerda, da minoria, do antigo presidente Zuma, o partido MK ("Umkhonto we Sizwe", partido "Lança da Nação) está a aproveitar esta onda da xenofobia e está a fomentar, a instigar, esta xenofobia para pressionar a coligação que está a governar, que é o ANC, com o partido da Aliança Democrática. É assim, infelizmente. Muito tragicamente, este assunto não é completamente inocente e possivelmente não teria acontecido este ataque de xenofobia se não tivesse sido instigado. E temos uma tradição disso. Sempre quando uma minoria política decide afastar um governo, de repente aparecem ataques xenófobos. Foi assim na altura em que o Jacob Zuma quis substituir o governo do Thabo Mbeki, em 2007. De repente, houve ataques xenófobos. E foi assim, de volta, no fim da era do Zuma, em que novamente isso estalou. Talvez o único aspecto positivo é que esta crise não vai durar tanto tempo. E penso que os espíritos vão novamente acalmar. RFI: Há cerca de uma semana que isto dura. O que é que o leva a crer que vai haver uma acalmia? André Thomashausen: Bom, existe sempre uma solidariedade entre os mais pobres, entre os mais miseráveis. E as vítimas da xenofobia é gente muito pobre e gente que não tem vida estável, que não tem emprego formal e normalmente existe uma solidariedade africana. Na tradição, nas culturas africanas, muito raramente aparece um ódio entre grupos ou um ódio de raça ou ódio nacionalista. Porque as culturas estão todas interligadas. Eu duvido muito que esta vaga seja uma expressão de um sentimento popular alargado. Na maior parte dos casos que temos visto, há uma mão organizadora, há grupos de choque que aparecem num sítio, aparecem com autocarros a transportá-los. Alguém está a organizar esses transportes e a pagar esses transportes. É um bocado um assunto de segurança pública e de segurança do Estado que está aqui a falhar. E assim vamos esperando que venha a faltar o apoio para esta xenofobia. O verdadeiro apoio popular não existe. É gente alheia que aparece num sítio que não vive lá e de repente atacam os que são estrangeiros, os que falam com um sotaque diferente ou que, pela aparência, não pertencem. Um problema dentro da xenofobia, isolado e diferente, é a imigração ilegal que temos experimentado e que temos visto oriunda da Somália e do Sudão, países bastante afastados. São para aí uns 8 mil quilómetros de distância, daqui para o Sudão e para a Somália. E esta migração, essa sim, está a provocar ódio e está a provocar uma resistência forte entre a população que aqui na África do Sul normalmente não é muçulmana e rejeita a cultura desses migrantes. RFI: No começo da nossa conversa, mencionou que há certos sectores políticos que tiram proveito desta situação. Tem aparecido muito o nome de uma organização, a "March and March". O que é que se poderia dizer sobre esta organização e o interesse que teria também em movimentar a multidão contra os imigrantes? André Thomashausen: Bom, mais uma vez, é um rótulo que aparece subitamente, que não tem antecedentes. Não se podem identificar os líderes, gente desconhecida e, no meu ponto de ver, oportunista. Tal como nos anos 30, na Alemanha, houve uma organização nazi que fomentou o ódio contra os judeus, para assim virem a ser notórios e intimidar, provocar a instabilidade. Eu vejo aqui essas organizações também como sendo organizações um bocado fantoches, que não têm uma base popular, não têm milhares de membros ou aderentes. São completamente transparentes. E mais uma vez, eu estou a ver aqui um oportunismo político trágico de tentar provocar uma dificuldade ao governo por gente que falhou nas eleições, que não conseguiu reunir uma maioria de votos e assim, agora estão a tentar destabilizar o país através desta vaga. RFI: Certos países, nomeadamente a Nigéria ou Gana, que têm alguns dos seus expatriados na África do Sul, acusaram o governo de Pretória de ser algo complacente com esta onda de xenofobia que, no fundo, poderia ser interpretada também como uma forma de camuflar as suas próprias incapacidades em gerir questões como a economia, a educação e a saúde. André Thomashausen: Certo. Só que, na realidade, este governo, esta administração, é uma administração que está a sobreviver mal num contexto de Estado já falhado, em que as forças da ordem, a polícia e e Forças Armadas não têm nem sequer a mínima capacidade. Não há veículos e onde há veículos não há verbas para o combustível. Há um elevado sistema de corrupção na polícia e nas Forças Armadas. As Forças Armadas já foram mobilizadas na Província do Cabo para tentar limitar, tentar reduzir a vaga de assassinatos entre mafiosos, entre bandos, criminosos, traficantes de droga e de pessoas. E assim, eu acho que não é por falta de vontade, mas é por falta de capacidade que o governo está assim passivo. Está assim, num papel de observador em que o Presidente Ramaphosa lamenta muito a xenofobia, mas não tem meios realmente para uma estratégia através da qual poderia prender e imobilizar aqueles que estão a instigar esses ataques aos migrantes e refugiados e, evidentemente, também uma percentagem muito elevada de migrantes ilegais. Mas, na realidade, a economia está a empregar essa gente. E isso também tem a ver com a alta taxa de sindicalização dos trabalhadores sul-africanos, que provocam um nível do preço da mão-de-obra muito elevado. E isso cria uma uma atractividade ao emprego dos estrangeiros que não estão sindicalizados. É tudo uma mistura de situações que deveriam ser reformadas, que deveriam ser consideradas, mas só que este actual governo é um governo de crise e é um governo que não tem a capacidade para reagir. RFI: Estamos em ano de eleições autárquicas. Vão acontecer a 4 de Novembro. Pensa que isto também joga nesta crise? André Thomashausen: Absolutamente. É uma maneira de tentar animar os eleitores, tentar atirar culpas aos migrantes, culpas pela falta de prestação de serviços, pelo facto de que 90% das municipalidades estão tecnicamente falidas e já não têm capacidade para garantir o abastecimento de água potável ou a manutenção dos sistemas de esgotos ou transportes públicos, o sistema escolar primário, o sistema de assistência médica básica e assim, é um bode expiatório, acusar a presença dos estrangeiros. E isso tudo entra nas estratégias. Estas eleições vão decididamente reduzir o apoio ao ANC. Vão demonstrar a queda dramática da confiança neste partido da libertação. Mas é normal que depois de 30 anos da grande transferência, em 1990, o partido libertador, com a sua legitimidade histórica, venha a ser desafiado. RFI: Está a dizer que o ANC poderia perder o leme. Mas para que a formação? André Thomashausen: Vai beneficiar a Aliança Democrática, que é um partido liberal do centro-esquerda, completamente multicultural, que tenta fazer renascer o ideal do Nelson Mandela de uma "Nação arco-íris". Há muitos, muitos eleitores tradicionais do ANC que desta vez vão votar na Aliança Democrática. O partido está a apostar nesta oportunidade. E, aliás, está convencido que com a sua antiga presidente, Helen Zille, vão ganhar as eleições em Joanesburgo, a maior metrópole aqui na África do Sul.

On the WBGO Journal, we meet actors Atandwa Kani and Kelcey Watson, the stars of Crossroads Theatre Company's production of the powerful play "Sizwe Banzi is Dead"

Sizwe shows us from Acts 2 how when we are desperate, we cling to corrupt idols in a corrupt world. However, in our desperation, we need to cling to the life that is Jesus!

Sizwe makes us aware of our true enemy and how to fight the spiritual battle.

In Acts 2, Peter stands up in the middle of the action and preaches the Gospel powerfully. Sizwe shows the backstory of how Jesus restored Peter so that he could stand with such courage on this day.

Sizwe encourages us to not miss out what God is doing this year.

With a critical round of by-elections coming up next week, the African National Congress (ANC) has announced that all candidates for 2026 Local Government Elections will have to undergo criminal record and qualifications vetting, submit interest declarations, and consent to lifestyle audits. This is lauded by Elections Analyst Wayne Sussman on the latest edition of the Electoral Roadshow with Chris Steyn. Sussens gives in-depth previews of the most important upcoming by-elections, including the straight two-horse race between the Democratice Alliance (DA) and the ANC in City of Joburg Ward 90 where President Cyril Ramaphosa lives; the turbulence amid which MKP has to contest Mandeni where Umkhonto we Sizwe won over 70% of the vote in 2024 in the historic ANC stronghold; Kouga where the DA ward councillor walked over to the Patriotic Alliance; and Hantam where the local councillor was assassinated. As for the possible date of next year's Local Government elections, Sussman reveals that he is hearing from reliable sources that it will either be held on 4th or the 11th of November.

A rural school in Mpumalanga, Mpumelelo Secondary, has repeatedly performed in the JSE Investment Challenge, a national competition where young people engage in simulated trading using virtual portfolios valued at R1 million. The challenge runs from March to September and attracts more than 66,000 participants from 859 schools and universities. Behind Mpumelelo's success is Sizwe Mtsweni, a teacher at the school who teaches business studies and tourism. In an interview with BizNews, Mtsweni spoke about his investment strategies and how he mentors his students. He explained that beyond the usual challenge of balancing academics and the competition, many of his learners live far from school and don't have devices, and even if they do, they often don't have data. As for the mindset he tries to instil. Mtsweni, who returned to teach at his alma mater, says he's not interested in wearing expensive brands, he's more interested in owning one.

In his latest appearance on BizNews, Elections Analyst Wayne Sussman dissects the results from the last two rounds of hard by-elections. In Soweto (Emdeni Naledi) the ANC fell sharply from 56% in 2021 to only 34%. “This is an astonishing result, and one which would really worry the ANC greatly,” Sussman says. Over in Durban, the DA won all three of Montclair voting districts, which uMkhonto we Sizwe won just over a year ago - and grew from 56% to 63%. “This is one of the best results they've had.” The PA achieved an historic result by winning their first ever ward (Kou-Kamma) in the Eastern Cape with 48% of the vote. The EFF gave the ANC a “major fright” in the Free State township of Kgotsong where the ANC fell from 54% to 50% while the EFF surged from 25% to 47%. Sussman also previews upcoming by-elections.

As retirement approaches, many people find themselves grappling with the reality of their financial plans – or lack thereof.   In the latest Retirement Reimagined episode, host Maya Fisher-French and Sizwe Nxedlana, CEO of FNB Private Segment explore the increasing trend of individuals pursuing second careers or side businesses as part of their retirement strategy. With many people finding themselves in a position where they need to maintain their lifestyle post-retirement, the idea of working longer or starting a new venture is becoming more appealing. Retirement Readiness and Challenges A staggering 90% of respondents indicated they feel unprepared for retirement. Maya and Sizwe discuss the implications of this statistic, examining the financial pressures that lead many to work longer, including lifestyle inflation and the need to maintain a certain standard of living. They emphasise that for affluent individuals, the challenge of retiring comfortably often stems from high expectations and insufficient savings. Second Careers and Side Businesses The conversation shifts to the growing importance of second careers and side businesses as integral components of retirement planning. Sizwe highlights how improved health outcomes and changing corporate norms are allowing people to remain in the workforce longer, while also exploring how entrepreneurship can provide an alternative path to financial security in retirement. Financial Literacy and Planning Maya and Sizwe stress the significance of financial literacy and proactive planning. They urge listeners to engage with their retirement benefits, understand their company's retirement policies, and seek professional advice early in their careers. The episode underscores that effective retirement planning is not merely about accumulating wealth but also about making informed decisions that align with long-term goals.

Sizwe sent us a voicenote about an argument he is having with his wife: “I have a big argument going with my wife regarding what counts as texting and driving. She says looking at your phone while your stopped at a red light is okay - just as long as you're not driving. I say no way. Put the damn phone away while you're in the car, period.” JMPD Spokesperson Xolani Fihla is here to clarify this matter for us. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former South African President Jacob Zuma last week gave the African National Congress until January 31 to reinstate him as a member. The South Africa Mail and Guardian reports Zuma made the demand through his lawyers in a letter to the ANC Secretary General. Zuma was ousted from the ANC last year when he helped form the uMkhonto we Sizwe, (MK) Party. Political analyst Professor Sipho Seepe at the University of Zululand, tells VOA's James Butty Zuma wants to irritate the ANC to expose its flaws.

The real founder of the MK Party, Jabulani Khumalo, is laying criminal charges against former President Jacob Zuma. In this interview with BizNews, he describes how a discovery during the past week has left him no choice. “So this will be the second case of fraud against President Jacob Zuma and his family because he is doing this because he thinks he's a God of South Africa or of the world, I don't know.” Khumalo goes on to reveal how MK has been hijacked by Zuma's cronies. “So I'm thinking that Zuma is now creating a cabal that is going to finish the country. Because if you put corrupt people together, what are you bringing? What are you doing?” Khumalo tells the full story of the founding of MK, how Zuma became involved, and how he reneged on a deal not to bring in “tainted” people. “…he agreed that if Umkhonto we Sizwe wants to move forward, we should be using people with good names, people who would want to work for the community, people who are clean, who are not going to cause us problems with all these corruption cases…But as we moved on, he brought in his daughter…his daughter started to be crazy and started making lots of problems within the organisation…I never registered (MK) for Zuma's cronies to come back and fight the State, to continue where they started looting.” As for Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Deputy President Floyd Shivambu joining MK, he says: “I don't believe - even in my sleep - that Floyd and (CIC Julius) Malema will ever be split. This could be orchestrated for us to be fooled and to lose the MK without knowing.”

If all goes according to the constitution, South Africa's newly elected members of parliament will most likely be sworn in this Friday and in turn elect the president. But the South Africa Mail & Guardian reports Monday that the uMkhonto we Sizwe, or MK, party has directed its lawyers to petition the Constitutional Court to stop the parliament from sitting. The party says it wants to challenge the results of the May 29th elections for possible fraud. 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 Constitutional Court is likely to dismiss any MK party petition for – in his view -- trying to hold the country to ransom.

It's a little over a week before South Africa's May 29 elections. Former President Jacob Zuma who wants to represent the uMkhonto we Sizwe, or MK, in those elections, spoke over the weekend at the launch of the party's manifesto. Zuma is facing legal challenges to his candidacy. Professor Sipho Seepe, a political analyst and former deputy Vice Chancellor for Institutional Support at the University of Zululand, tells VOA's James Butty, that Zuma was critical of the ruling ANC while promising to create new jobs.

The national spokesperson for South Africa's Umkhonto we Sizwe, or MK Party, says it is the victim of a fraudster. This, as the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) is investigating if the MK forged some of the 15,000 signatures required to register for the May 29 general elections. The MK has survived several court battles since it was revealed that former President Jacob Zuma could be the its presidential candidate. Spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela tells VOA's James Butty, the party found out that the so-called whistle blower is a disgruntled volunteer whose request to represent the MK as parliamentary candidate was denied.

A political analyst says Tuesday's court ruling in favor of former South African President Jacob Zuma restores a certain degree of faith in the country's judicial system. The court ruled that Zuma's name should remain on the ballot for the May 29 general elections. Zuma wants to run on the ticket of the uMkhonto we Sizwe, or MK party. The Electoral Commission had disqualified Zuma for a prior conviction. Professor Sipho Seepe, a former deputy Vice Chancellor for Institutional Support at the University of Zululand, tells VOA's James Butty, Zuma's court victory also vindicates the notion of the will of the people in South African democracy

Die Verkiesingskommissie in Suid-Afrika sê voormalige president Jacob Zuma kan nie die uMkhonto we Sizwe-party in die komende verkiesing verteenwoordig nie en is gediskwalifiseer vir 'n setel in die Nasionale Vergadering. Ondanks die reënweer, toon talle MK-partylede solidariteit met hulle leier terwyl die party Zuma se diskwalifikasie in die Verkiesingshof se sitting in die Hooggeregshof in Johannesburg beveg. Die OVK se regsverteenwoordiger, Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, het die hof ingelig Zuma se vonnis van 15-maande geld steeds ondanks die afslag wat hy gekry het.

Voormalige Suid-Afrikaanse president Jacob Zuma is toestemming verleen om as 'n kandidaat vir die uMkhonto we Sizwe-party aan die verkiesing deel te neem. Die Verkiesingshof het die Verkiesingskommissie se besluit omgekeer wat hom verbied het om deel te neem weens sy vonnis van 15 maande vir minagting van die hof. Die hof se beslissing baan die weg vir Zuma se kandidatuur, en verwerp teenkanting teen hom, terwyl hy mik om na die politieke arena terug te keer.

Die uMkhonto we Sizwe-party glo die bevestiging van die Verkiesingskommissie se beswaar teen voormalige president Jacob Zuma se kandidaatskap verteenwoordig basies die skending van 'n indiwidu se reg om aan die politiek deel te neem. Die party nader die Verkiesingshof om die OVK se besluit uit te daag om Zuma te verbied om deel te neem aan die verkiesing. In sy betoog het die party se regsverteenwoordiger, Dali Mpofu, die hantering van Zuma se tronkstraf gekritiseer, en gesê hy is sy grondwetlike reg tot 'n regverdige verhoor ontneem.

Die DA vra kiesers om bedag te wees op die ernstige waarskuwing van 'n moontlike oordeelsdag-koalisie tussen die ANC, die EFF en die uMkhonto we Sizwe-party. Die EFF-leier Julius Malema sê hy sal die ANC steun mits sy adjunkleier, Floyd Shivambu, die minister van Finansies word. Die DA-leier John Steenhuisen het herbevestig hulle sal die bedreiging teenstaan deur inisiatiewe soos die veelpartyhandves en vra kiesers om radikale invloede in Suid-Afrika te stop:

Jacob Zuma mag nie 'n kandidaat wees in Suid-Afrika se verkiesing op 29 Mei nie. Die Onafhanklike Verkiesingskommissie het 'n beswaar gehandhaaf teen sy kandidatuur, wat beteken die oudpresident mag nie as kandidaat vir die MK Party staan nie. Die kommissie sê hy het 82 besware ontvang oor kandidate wat deur 21 politieke partye genomineer is. Die kommissie het besware oorweeg gegrond op kriteria soos uiteengesit in die Verkiesingswet en die Grondwet, en besware teen sewe kandidate afgewys. Ses onafhanklike kandidate sal meeding om setels in die Nasionale Vergadering. Die voorsitter, Mosotho Moepya, sê die OVK het die beswaar gehandhaaf teen Zuma se nominasie vir uMkhonto we Sizwe.

Die sekretaris-generaal van die ANC, Fikile Mabalula, sê niemand mag iets steel wat aan die regerende party behoort nie en dink hulle kan daarmee wegkom nie. Die saak oor die uMkhonto weSizwe-party se beweerde oortreding van die ANC se ontbinde para-militêre vleuel, Umkhonto we Sizwe, word vandag aangehoor. Mbalula sê dit is 'n duidelik in openbare belang dat enige kieser-verwarring wat deur die ongeoorloofde gebruik van die ANC se intellektuele eiendom veroorsaak word, voor die 29 Mei-verkiesing opgeklaar word:

In South Africa, the ruling African National Congress (ANC) lost in court yesterday in its attempt to remove the newly formed uMkhonto we Sizwe party, or MK, from the May 29 election ballot. The ANC challenged the MK's use of the name and a logo that is similar to that of the ANC's now-disbanded military wing founded by Nelson Mandela. Former President Jacob Zuma has agreed to be the candidate of the MK. Professor Sipho Seepe, a political analyst and former Deputy Vice Chancellor for Institutional Support at the University of Zululand, tells VOA's James Butty, t the ruling means the ANC could lose more votes on May 29.
