In this edition of the NdB Sunday Show, Chris Steyn and Jonathan Deal, the founder of Safe Citizen, talk about the fall of Investigations Directorate Against Organised Crime (IDAC) Chief Andrea Johnson - whom Economic Freedom (EFF) Fighter CIC Julius Malema likened to the late Winnie Mandela - and who was tipped to be a future National Director of Public Prosecutions; as well as the fall of three other tipped for the highest law enforcement and political control positions in South Africa: former Police Minister Senzo Mchunu as a possible future African National Congress (ANC) President; suspended General Shadrack Sibiya as possibly the next National Police Commissioner, and suspended General Feroz Khan with his eye on the top job at Crime Intelligence (CI). Deal hails the Madlanga Commissioners who ask questions “in a way that actually leads deceitful people into their own traps”. Meanwhile, Deal warns that township economies have been hard hit by the flight of foreigners at a time when the hungriest section of the population is awash with illegal guns. “...we are sitting with an enormous number of unemployed young men with no money, no job, and literally no hope for the future. And it could still take just one spark to see the equivalent of an Arab Spring in this country.” He describes just how vulnerable South Africans have become while the “police itself, on a national and often a provincial level, is powerless and directionless”.
When Chinese policeman Dong Guangping wrote an article commemorating the 10th anniversary of the 1989 military crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing, it kicked off a chain of events that led to him serving jail time and losing his job. But it also sparked the beginning of a deep desire to live more freely. So Dong began planning how he might escape China. Just a few weeks ago, back in late May, he finally achieved his dream, having taken the huge risk of crossing China's Yellow Sea in a dinghy to reach South Korean waters. Phoebe Kong, based in the BBC's Hong Kong bureau, explained how rare Dong's achievement really is. Yemen has faced decades of economic hardship and war, but the khat industry is thriving. Khat is a plant, and when chewed it acts as a stimulant. It is estimated to consume one-third of Yemen's groundwater and occupy much of the country's agricultural land. Dalia Haidar of BBC Arabic has been looking into Yemen's relationship to khat and the problem it can cause.The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services.

South African musician Lee Cole stopped by Breakfast with Martin Bester to talk about his new single, ‘Fool', and perform his version of ‘Can't Help Falling in Love' on Friday Live. A Jacaranda FM listener recently wrote to us to share her thoughts on Lee's looks. “Lee Cole. The sexy Portuguese, with his tight white jeans,” she wrote. The ‘Palace of Dreams' singer had a simple reaction to the compliment: “I'm adding that to my bio,” he said.
Anglo American's interims dazzled - earnings up 35%, free cash flow up nearly 150%, the dividend all but tripled. But BizNews editor Alec Hogg looks past the headline to what Anglo's walking away from: steelmaking coal sold, De Beers going for a tenth of what it paid, and a Teck merger that moves the head office to Vancouver. A 109-year-old Johannesburg company is quietly leaving. He pairs that with Old Mutual's finding that half of working South Africans now gamble - the sharp end of a two-speed nation. Plus ArcelorMittal, Reinet, Woolworths, a post-Fed bond rout, and the great Microsoft-Meta AI tension.
In this interview with Chris Steyn, Alessandro Scalco of RMB Sustainable Finance shares the details of a R1 billion Blended Finance Programme to formalise and scale South Africa's burgeoning affordable rental market. Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) has partnered with INDLU, a property financial technology company that empowers landowners to build, manage, and earn from high-quality rental housing. The programme aims to bridge the national housing gap—currently estimated at 2.3 million units—by providing sustainable, affordable credit to micro-developers who have historically been excluded from traditional banking sectors due to a perceived lack of formal collateral. Scalco says the programme represents a blueprint for how South African capital markets can drive large-scale, powerful social impact without compromising financial performance. Already delivered are over 2 200 high-quality rental units in areas such as Tembisa, Mamelodi, and Cosmo City. “From a pure sort of job creation perspective, there's quite a few local contractors that have built up teams and businesses. One of the success stories is one of the local contractors actually now does work across Sandton, Four Ways. So they've actually kind of branched out of just focusing on working with the INDLU team to build those units to building across South Africa, or building across Gauteng - and that's actually such a great story. It just shows you the power of getting an opportunity.”
Many South Africans know they should be saving, but soaring living costs are making it increasingly difficult. Africa Melane speaks to Nita Morgan, Director of Prime Loans, about balancing savings with responsible credit, avoiding illegal lenders, and building financial resilience during tough economic times.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Bioneers: Revolution From the Heart of Nature | Bioneers Radio Series
What will it take to begin to heal the deep wounds between women and men? What is the role of men in this transformation? Cynthia Brix and Will Keepin from Gender Reconciliation International say that only by bringing these wounds into the light can we heal them. Patriarchy destroys men's souls, too, so a revolution in gender relations can liberate women and men. The Gender Equity and Reconciliation process seeks to heal the profound wounds around gender, sexuality, and relational intimacy. It brings together people of all sexual orientations and genders to jointly confront gender disharmony to reach healing reconciliation. Will and Cynthia have developed the method over 24 years, introducing the practices in nine countries. Gender reconciliation's startling successes in South Africa have played a role in transforming that country's AIDS and HIV policies, and exciting new academic research on the program is underway at two South African universities. Learn more about the work of Will Keepin and Cynthia Brix via their organization, Gender Reconciliation International.

“This is a legitimate concern of South Africans, where there's illegal foreigners, people with no paperwork. No country in the world allows that to happen. Why should we? Our message is very simple. We say, South Africa is open for our brothers on the continent, but come here legitimately. Come here like a civilised human being that wants to come and contribute towards our country.”Waihiga Mwaura speaks to Gayton McKenzie, South Africa's Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture and leader of the Patriotic Alliance, a party that has built much of its support on a hardline stance on illegal migration.As South Africa is gripped by protests, violence and political division over immigration, McKenzie responds to criticism that his views betray Nelson Mandela's legacy of humanity, social justice and freedom. He rejects accusations that he's blaming migrants for South Africa's wider problems and argues his approach reflects the concerns of many South Africans.The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

South African businesses are spending millions on cloud – and many have very little to show for it. That is the uncomfortable starting point for this episode of TCS+, in which Nkosinathi Ndlovu speaks to Joel Chacko, executive head of department for cloud services at Vodacom Business, and Jonathan Oaker, founder and CEO of CloudZA, about why the promise of cloud still isn't matching the reality for so many organisations – and what it takes to close the gap. Chacko and Oaker discuss why cloud has moved from the server room to the boardroom, with business resilience, agility and AI readiness emerging as the new drivers. They also examine why pressure to “move to cloud” can run ahead of strategy, leaving costs to climb faster than returns. The pair also cover: • Common pitfalls behind cost overruns, including poor governance, skills gaps and the slow adoption of cloud-native thinking; • Why hybrid and multi-cloud architectures have become the baseline, and the strategic drivers behind that shift; • The mindset organisations need to thrive in the cloud; • What to look for when choosing a cloud partner; and • What businesses should stop doing immediately, and where to redirect that energy instead. Don't miss the discussion. TechCentral
A new consensus has emerged in Westminster, seemingly overnight: we need more defence spending, and we need it now. But the Ministry of Defence has a record for waste that would put Tony Soprano to shame. £13 billion down the drain, since 2010, at the very least. Aircraft carriers that come in late, overbudget, and beset by mechanical failures. IT systems that cost millions, and are wildly out of date. No other government department could get away with it. But the arms trade spends billions of dollars on greasing the wheels of political consent. They employ armies of lobbyists, print reams of analysis, and bribe politicians the world over to keep the war machine funded. The result isn't just a crisis of corruption. It's a threat to our survival as a species. Andrew Feinstein is a former-minister in the South African government, turned investigative reporter. He is the executive director of Shadow World Investigations, and serves on the board of Declassified UK. And in 2024, he stood against Keir Starmer in Holborn and St Pancras. He joins Ash Sarkar on Downstream to lift the lid on how the arms industry really works, and tell us about his political journey.
Is South Africa due for a name change? The founders of a new South African think tank and advocacy group think so. Vuka Azania is calling on South Africans to consider changing the country's name. According to The Citizen, Vuka Azania wants to change the country's name to Azania, the same name previously suggested by several liberation movements during apartheid.
When it comes to conservation, adorable and majestic animals often attract the most concern for their plight. It's not so easy to get the public's attention when it comes to animals that are perceived as weird or creepy or downright unpleasant. The vulture, traditionally associated with death and carrion, falls into this unlucky group. Globally, around 70% of vultures are now under threat of extinction and Nigeria's vultures are no exception. BBC West Africa journalist Makuochi Okafor has been investigating this story. In Vietnam, The Last Empress, a new film inspired by the life of the final empress of the Nguyen Dynasty, appears to be provoking a strong reaction. Nam Phuong is a well-known historical figure in Vietnam, who along with her husband, Bao Dai, she was also seen as a puppet of the French colonial regime. Since the release of the trailer for The Last Empress, this long debate in Vietnam has bubbled back to life. Duc Ha from the BBC's Bangkok bureau has been exploring the human story behind all the politics and controversy. In a private party in a Russian town, Katya was about to blow out the candles on her 30th birthday cake when masked men burst into the nightclub that she had hired and began physically and verbally attacking her friends. The swoop was instigated by a vigilante group who want to accelerate President Vladimir Putin's promotion of what he sees as traditional Russian family values. As is sometimes the case in these raids, members of the town's police also joined them, shutting down the party and interrogating the guests. Amalia Zatari of BBC Russian has been looking into this vigilante group.

DESCRIPTION: Number 17 in the queue for start. Forty minutes at the hold. Ryan flies in and out of O.R. Tambo every day, and this week FlySafair said the quiet part out loud. Bryan and Ryan are back for the weekly catch up. Ryan reports from the cockpit on what the delay chaos actually looks like from the pointy end, and why the crews feel for the controllers as much as the passengers. Then the question Bryan keeps getting from travellers: is it safe to fly through the Gulf right now? He walks through the EASA travel recommendations and why the final call is always your own risk decision. The guys also get honest about how this podcast is changing. In a world drowning in fake news and AI-generated content, they are going deeper on fewer stories and leaning on a network of real pilots instead of headlines. The ums and ahs stay in. That is the point. Then the good stuff: Dricus dominates Usman and eyes his next fight, the Junior Boks bring home the under 20 World Cup, the SuperBru leaderboard gets a shake up, Hamilton finds form before Hungary, Oshkosh outshines Farnborough, Bryan guests on The Pilots podcast, and a charter pilot shortage plus a Gulf carrier roadshow mean real opportunities for South African pilots.

Hawu! Hawu! Hawu! Don flips the script this week, banging out two hours of incredible KWAITO music from South Africa. Kwaito is a uniquely South African thing — it was the evolution of township disco into house music into slower, more hip-hop influenced dance music. This episode truly rips.

Sean Peche has spent 2026 doing the opposite of the crowd. While the market piles into AI, memory chips and Elon Musk's every pivot, the Ranmore founder has been selling Tesla, walking away from SpaceX and quietly buying into Adobe and Tencent instead. In this conversation with Alec Hogg, the South African-born, UK-based fund manager breaks down why Alphabet's capex bill worries him, why Britain's new Prime Minister just handed him a trade, and why getting rich slowly beats chasing the next shiny thing.
Helen Zille has swapped the Iron Lady tag for "DJ Gogo", but the numbers she puts on the table are dead serious. In this conversation with Alec Hogg, she says Johannesburg only spent half of an eight billion rand infrastructure budget last year, warns that DA supporters staying home on election day could hand the city to the ANC, and lays out exactly how vote-buying has turned South African coalition politics into what one commentator called "auctions". She also responds directly to the lobbying row involving John Steenhuisen and Tony Leon, explains the real mechanics behind uMngeni's 42-vote nail-biter, and says plainly why she believes this election is Joburg's last chance to turn itself around.
A stranger was found sleeping in the back of a bakkie after a UFC match, and many people pointed out that he appeared to be South African.

Inept autocrats. Baby Hitler. Osama Bin Laden's favorite soccer team. These are just a few of the many topics that Mehdi and Adam Friedland talked about on the new episode of 'We're Not Kidding'. The comedian and host of the wildly popular YouTube talk show, 'The Adam Friedland Show', sat down with Mehdi in New York City for a chaotic yet vulnerable conversation about Israel, U.S. politics, and some of Adam's most viral interviews. But first, Mehdi needed to argue about the World Cup. Even though they come from different backgrounds, Mehdi and Adam bond over their shared profession of interviewing defensive politicians. One of Adam's most viral interviews, with Bronx Congressman Ritchie "AIPAC Guy" Torres, was of particular interest to Mehdi. "You got very emotional there. Did he make you like that? Did the situation in Gaza make you like that?" Mehdi asks. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The two also discuss: Adam's family history in South Africa. How Stephen Miller might have turned into a fascist (he and Adam went to school together). Trump's influence on the World Cup. Adam's experience working in an Israeli ambulance service. Getting Scott Jennings to admit he's a "performer." Whether Adam should run for president. And many, many, many, other things… This interview was published 7 days earlier on Zeteo.com.

In today's Boardroom Talk, Alec Hogg confirms the death of RW Johnson, one of South African political writing's sharpest and most combustible voices, and reflects on a decade of working with him: the audiobook that started it, the necrotising fasciitis he refused to let slow him down, the Steenhuisen column that ended their working relationship, and the warmth he never stopped showing even after he stopped writing for BizNews.
Pele Collins went from leading the SpaceX parachute engineering team that brought American astronauts safely home to co-founding a Y Combinator-backed deep tech startup, Beyond Reach Labs. In his latest interview with Irakli, the proudly South African engineer reveals how his team is tackling the ultimate pick-and-shovel play for the next era of the space race: deployable structures that unfold from the size of a dining table to a full-sized football field in orbit. Building in space historically meant assembling structures piece-by-piece over dozens of rocket launches. Collins wants to bypass those massive costs using dynamic, folding mechanisms. While the company initially entered Y Combinator focused on simulation software, raw customer feedback forced a fast pivot to pure hardware. “...customers said this, I mean this tool's amazing, we'd love to use it, but honestly, can you just go design and build the thing for us?” Collins recalls. Collins credits his resilient problem-solving mindset to his South African roots, highlighting a culture of mutual support that even landed him his first break at SpaceX under a fellow South African manager. “South Africans also always help each other out and... open doors for each other,” he says.
Part two of our investigation into the murder of Anni Dewani picks up as the case takes an extraordinary turn.As investigators begin to unravel what really happened on that November night in Cape Town, allegations emerge that transform what first appeared to be a random carjacking into one of the most controversial murder cases of modern times. Witnesses change their stories, plea deals are struck, and an international legal battle follows before the case finally reaches a South African courtroom.In this episode, we examine the evidence presented, the reliability of the prosecution's key witnesses, and the verdict that left many people with more questions than answers. More than a decade later, Anni's death continues to divide opinion around the world.http://www.youtube.com/@seeingredtruecrimepodcastwww.patreon.com/seeingredpodcasthttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtwwww.seeingredpodcast.co.ukTheme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Hosted on Acast.

Interview with Keith Bowes, Managing Director & CEO of Future MetalsRecording date: 16th July 2026Future Metals is advancing a revised development strategy for its Panton platinum group metals (PGM) project in Western Australia, driven by stronger platinum and palladium prices and a potential infrastructure-sharing deal that could significantly reduce capital costs. Instead of building a new processing facility, the company is evaluating the acquisition and refurbishment of the nearby Savannah nickel plant, located about 70 km from Panton. This approach could cut upfront capital expenditure from an estimated A$270 million to under A$200 million, improving the project's economic viability.Panton hosts a substantial resource of 93 million tonnes at 1.4 grams per tonne palladium-equivalent, with a profile notably richer in platinum than most Australian PGM deposits. This platinum-heavy mix aligns more closely with high-value South African deposits and benefits from broader demand drivers, including industrial use, jewellery, and investment demand, rather than relying primarily on autocatalysts like palladium.Market conditions have improved since the project's 2023 scoping study. Platinum prices have risen to around $1,600 per ounce and palladium to $1,200–$1,300, supported by slower-than-expected electric vehicle adoption and sustained demand from hybrid vehicles. At the same time, supply risks in major producing regions such as South Africa and Russia are creating opportunities for new projects in stable jurisdictions like Australia.Future Metals is working with major shareholder Zeta Resources on a non-binding framework that could facilitate the Savannah plant acquisition. To manage transaction risk, the company plans to present both the Savannah-integrated option and a standalone development scenario in an updated scoping study due in late 2026.Meanwhile, native title negotiations, environmental baseline studies, and early offtake discussions including interest from Trafigura and a Middle Eastern refinery are underway. If successful, the project could begin production by 2029, positioning Panton as a new, lower-cost source of PGMs in a tightening global market.Learn More: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/future-metals-nlSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
The first block of the Nations Championship is done, and the All Blacks—much to our delight—finally played like bloody All Blacks.For 40 glorious minutes at Eden Park, they were all over a slightly flailing Irish side. Ireland fought their way back into it after halftime, but putting 41 points on them and winning by 19 is a bloody good result. More importantly, it gives us a little bit of—keyword—optimism heading into the Greatest Rivalry Series.Speaking of which, the Boks—or the B-Boks, C-Boks, or whatever version of the Boks was rolled out this week—put Wales away without too much trouble. South African fans weren't exactly thrilled by the dropped ball and generally ordinary-looking performance, but they still won 43–0, and that scrum somehow looks even more terrifying than ever.So, naturally, we dive into the All Blacks–Springboks rivalry and start looking ahead to the series we've all been waiting for. Tony throws a little chum into the water, so try not to bite too hard. It's all banter at the end of the day. Probably. Rassie is definitely in our heads.Elsewhere, Australia gave Joe Schmidt a fitting send-off by dominating Italy, Fiji scored some absolutely ridiculous tries despite losing to Scotland, and England and Argentina appeared to cram an entire year's worth of yellow cards into one fiery, chaotic match.Coming on the back of the spicy England–Argentina Football World Cup semifinal, the whole thing felt suitably hostile, slightly unhinged and, eventually, pretty entertaining.We cover all of that, talk plenty of rugby and sprinkle in the usual amount of bullshit.There's no episode next week, but after the break, we're going deep into South African content as the Greatest Rivalry Series finally arrives.Grab a beer and enjoy.

Every year, July 18 is marked as the Nelson Mandela International Day. It is a moment not only to celebrate the life of South Africa's first democratically elected president, but also to reflect on the values he championed which include justice, reconciliation and service to humanity. This year's commemorations included a live concert at London's Trafalgar Square, where artists gathered to honour the man affectionately known as Madiba. We speak to South African musician Asanda Mvana, better known as Msaki, about the role music can play in preserving Nelson Mandela's legacy as well as South Africa's minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie. And how do scientists go about discovering new species of animals? We hear from Junior Amboko, the scientist who named the recently discovered species of monkey in the Democratic Republic of Congo.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Keikantse Shumba, Victor Chege, Ayuba Iliya and Blessing Aderogba Senior Producers: Caroline Mwangi and Charles Gitonga Technical Producer: Maxwell Onyango Editors: Rhoda Odhiambo and Maryam Abdalla

On this day, 19 July 1984, the Dunnes Stores anti-apartheid strike began in Dublin, Ireland. Shop worker Mary Manning refused to check out a customer's South African fruit, as members of her union, Idatu, had voted to not handle South African goods. Manning was then suspended, and she and 11 of her colleagues went on strike in protest. The stoppage went on for three years, ending when the Irish government introduced a ban on South African products.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9108/dunnes-stores-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

They fire a gun at exactly 12 hours. If you're not across the line by then, it doesn't matter how close you are, your race is over. That's Comrades, and this week we sit down with four-time finisher Steph Donaldson to unpack what actually gets you through 90km of South African road, from fuelling disasters to the strangers who talk you off the ledge in the final 20K. Then Rob Foster debriefs his first-ever triathlon at Challenge Roth in Germany, admitting exactly where his own prep let him down on the run. And Rob Jones brings us inside the Chamonix training camp, on why stripping the pace pressure out of a session makes people run better, not worse. It's a long one, but a good one. Three athletes, three very different days, and the same lesson underneath all of them: showing up matters more than the metrics.
Rhino conservation in South Africa is not for everyone. It's fraught with security liabilities, risks, and poaching concerns, all in an environment that is devaluing Rhinos. Wicus Diedericks, owner of one of only 2 or 3 white rhino conservation breeding facilities in South Africa, invited Robbie to Rockwood to see the scale of the operation. Wicus has been in a legal fight with the South African government about the trade of legal Rhino Horn. If you want to listen to the first podcast in this series check out episode 605 . Today Wicus and Robbie sit down at Rockwood, on the ground at his facility. From feed to camera to security infrastructure, one thing is clear: these people care about Rhinos deeply.

In this explosive long‑form debate, Jillian Michaels hosts Nick Matau (pro‑Israel) and Ben Burgis (pro‑Palestine) for a no‑holds‑barred clash over the most controversial questions on earth: Who really owns the land? Is a one‑state solutionwith equal rights even possible, or is the two‑state solution dead forever? Are Palestinians permanent second‑class non‑citizens under Israeli rule, and does international law actually back the “occupation” claim – or is that all propaganda? Nick Matau argues that Israel is a besieged democracy fighting for survival, defending Jewish self‑determination, security, and the legitimacy of Israeli control over Judea and Samaria/West Bank, while rejecting claims that Israel is genocidal or racist. Ben Burgis counters that Israel has effectively built a single state “from the river to the sea” where millions of Palestinians live as subjects, not citizens, comparing the system to South African apartheid and challenging the morality and legality of occupation, settlement expansion, and ethnic discrimination. Together, they dig into the Oslo Accords, Camp David, the Green Line, settlement blocs, Gaza, Jerusalem, the Hamas charter, and whether “genocide in Gaza” is a legal reality or a weaponized slogan. They argue over whether Palestinians have truly been offered a viable state, if 1967 borders matter under international law, and if granting full citizenship to millions of Palestinians would destroy the Jewish character of Israel or finally deliver justice and peace. Watch this uncensored conversation if you're searching for: “Nick Matau Israel debate”, “Ben Burgis Palestine debate”, “Israel Palestine debate podcast”, “Israel Gaza war explained”, “Israel apartheid or self‑defense”, “one‑state vs two‑state solution”, “is it genocide in Gaza”, "Is Zionism colonization", "Is anti-zionism antisemitism”? Watch and decide for yourself! Is a one-state democratic solution the only way out, or is partition the only answer? Let's debate in the comments—keep it civil.
The Atemoya Custard Apple is a much sought-after fruit grown only in one county in Taiwan. The Taiwanese are justly proud of it. Meanwhile, the Musang King Durian - grown in Malaysia - is also highly prized for its unique flavour as the ‘Hermes of Durians.' Every year, fruit lovers across the region look out for these treats and snap them up where they can, often paying high prices. In recent years, farmers have seen opportunities to raise their income by selling these niche, super-luxury fruits on the Chinese market, but the strategy comes with big risks too. Koh Ewe from the BBC's Singapore Bureau has been tracking the fortunes of these two fruits. A statue of Saint Olga is a much-loved figure in Central Kyiv, Ukraine. So much so, that when Russia invaded Ukraine, the statue was given a flak jacket with the words “she needs armour” written on it. Saint Olga of Kyiv is celebrated by Ukrainians and Russians alike.

BBC Ukrainian's Irena Taranyuk explores her sometimes violent history.The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services.
