Balwin Properties founder and CEO Steve Brookes joins Alec Hogg to unpack how his company defied South Africa's economic odds - growing revenue by 44%, profit by 33%, and headline earnings by 29% in just six months. Brookes shares why he believes optimism and hard work still pay off in a struggling economy, credits disciplined debt reduction for their success, and highlights how green building innovations are saving homeowners years on their bonds. He also calls out poor governance and infrastructure decay beyond the Western Cape, warning that South Africa's growth hinges on municipalities that “deliver, not debate.”

The GOOD Party has laid criminal charges against Western Cape MECs and senior officials for allegedly tabling falsely balanced provincial budgets ahead of last year's general election. The party claims the MECs presented a rosy picture of the province's finances, only to later declare a R3.8 billion budget shortfall. A dossier of evidence has been submitted to the police and the party says this is the first time in South Africa's history that a government has been caught tabling a false or fake budget.

Hello fellow travellers, in this episode I discuss and appreciate the positive living legacies of slavery in the Cape. One of those heritages include BoKaap, which is a slave descendent islamic community situated above Cape Town's city centre. I offer travel advice on some of the places you can visit and cultural activities you can participate in, that include the BoKaap museum and Tweede Nuwe Jaar carnival. Bokaap is a community that, although, is impacted by the dominant narratives of black vs white, African spirituality vs christianity which have come to define South Africa, it is not defined by them. Therefore, it is an example of how diverse South African society, cultural heritage and religion is. It is not propaganda but a true, lived South African reality. Enjoy!________________________Are you planning to travel through Europe soon?

The Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Chardonnay 2024 is a finely-crafted South-African white wine produced in the Western Cape, primarily from vineyards in the Stellenbosch region with a smaller portion from Robertson. It displays an elegant and complex character: the nose opens with fresh limes and citrus blossoms, followed on the palate by refined oak influence, supported by a crystalline acid structure and a subtle mineral-twinge. The 2024 vintage was noted for an early bud-break and flowering, resulting in a relatively small Chardonnay harvest but with strong potential. Vinification involves 12 hours skin-contact, whole-bunch pressing for some portion, slow fermentation at low temperature and eight months maturation in French oak barrels (with about 20% new oak, remainder second‐ and third-fill barrels). The winemaker suggests it can be enjoyed already, yet promises good cellaring potential — around 5 to 10 years in the right conditions. This makes it a sophisticated choice for pairing with richer seafood, poultry in creamy sauces or dishes with a delicate oak or buttery dimension.

How can the wine world help tackle climate change, and why is choosing sustainable and biodynamic wines not enough? What happens when vineyards embrace biodiversity with cover crops, insects, and wildlife? How are wine producers in South Africa rebuilding natural ecosystems around their vineyards? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Andrew Neather & Jane Masters. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Giveaway Two of you are going to win a copy of Andrew Neather & Jane Masters' terrific new book, Rooted in Change: The Stories Behind Sustainable Wine. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights How have Jane and Andrew's wine careers led to many interesting experiences around the world? What will you read about in Jane and Andrew's new book, Rooted in Change? How did Andrew and Jane become interested in sustainability in the wine world? How did Jane and Andy come to collaborate on writing their book and how do their skills and style complement each other? Was it challenging not to sound alarmist while effectively presenting the urgency of climate change and sustainability? How can consumers help reduce their environmental impact when choosing wines? What changes are happening in the wine industry to change packaging standards to reduce carbon emissions? What can we learn from the innovations in biodiversity-focused viticulture taking place in South Africa? Can regenerative viticulture and its principles be adopted on a large scale by major producers as well as boutique wineries?   Key Takeaways There's no doubt that climate change is happening and there aren't easy solutions. We're very often led to believe that with consumer capitalism, you can buy a certain product or avoid a certain type of packaging, say, and that everything will be okay. And it's really just much more complicated than that, because you're talking about the complexity of global supply chains, all sorts of industrial processes associated with packaging and other things. It doesn't mean to say you can't make sensible choices as a consumer. The great thing about vines is that, like fruit trees, orchards, they live for a long time. The roots go very far down into the ground. By creating this biodiversity, it also builds the insects and all the life in the soil. It becomes a natural, organic circular economy. And that helps protect vines against disease. Some of these insects keep the predators from the vines at bay. So it just becomes a much more resilient system that also captures and retains more carbon within it. In South Africa, in the Western Cape, the natural vegetation before it was cultivated is called fynbos. Johan Reyneke, a biodynamic producer in Stellenbosch, is rewilding bits of his land to join together these islands into corridors. The animals came back quickly and it's restoring the natural balance of the land.   About Jane Masters and Andrew Neather Jane Masters became a Master of Wine in 1997 and was elected as Chairman of the Institute of Masters of Wine in September 2016. She is an independent wine consultant with over 30 years of experience and clients around the world as well as working with the Majestic Wine Grp in UK. She has also filmed several wine shows and written sections for Jancis Robinson's Oxford Companion to Wine and Wine Opus. Andrew Neather is a freelance British journalist. A former academic historian, environmental campaigner, political speechwriter and newspaper journalist, he was the London Evening Standard's wine critic, 2005-15. He now blogs weekly on wine and food at A View from my Table, writes a regular column for Tim Atkin MW's website, and has contributed to publications including The Independent, Harpers and Club Oenologique.       To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/360.

After a shocking viral video exposed severe bullying at a Western Cape high school, many parents are asking: What can you do when your child becomes a victim in the one place they should feel safe? In this powerful episode, family law attorney Bertus Preller joins The Flash Drive to unpack the legal rights of parents and students when bullying turns criminal. From school disciplinary processes to protection orders and possible criminal charges, the discussion breaks down the real options available to families navigating these traumatic situations. The conversation also tackles the troubling rise of bystander culture — where students record instead of intervening — and the urgent need for stronger accountability in schools and communities alike. No child deserves to face abuse or humiliation at school. This podcast is an essential listen for parents, teachers, and anyone concerned about student safety — offering practical advice, legal insight, and hope for a more compassionate classroom culture.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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".

In this episode of the Business Unusual Podcast, Ralf Fletcher chats with Beverly Schäfer, the former deputy speaker of the Western Cape provincial parliament, who served as the MEC for Economic Opportunities, Tourism and Agriculture in the Western Cape and is now a leading voice in data sovereignty and ethical AI.

In South Africa, some towns in the Western Cape are entirely controlled by the Moravian Protestant Church, which has a missionary legacy dating back to the 18th century. Residents pay a fee to the Church, which maintains the town's infrastructure in return. But some locals claim the Church isn't using the money collected to reinvest in the town. With over 100,000 current members, the Moravian Church was one of the first religious institutions to welcome worshippers of all races in a South Africa still marked by segregation. FRANCE 24's Caroline Dumay, Stefan Carstens and Tom Canetti report for Pool Africa.

At BNIC#2, IRR CEO John Endres argued that South Africa's best defence against sudden rupture is to keep democracy's “safety valve” wide open—free expression, functioning social media and real electoral choice. Close that valve, he warned, and the risk of Nepal-style upheaval rises, especially under an ANC-EFF-MK axis. Endres dismissed the lure of “benevolent dictators,” pointing instead to July 2021 as proof of civic resilience when the state faltered. His preferred route to stability: an ANC that “bends” rather than breaks, with a DA–ANC coalition enabling a planned glide-path into 2029. He rejected Western Cape secession, flagged youth unemployment as the true time bomb, and argued that only rapid growth—grounded in merit and accountability—can turn South Africa into a beacon again.

This is episode 240 and our swivels to the north - a Great Apostle for Confederation and the pre-Scramble for Africa Geopolitical Omlette. Part of this story is a continuation of the Langalibalele Affair in Natal which had created the perception that the authorities there were unable to cope. This provided an opportunity for Colonial office back in England to consider radical moves like forcing through a Confederation of South African colonies. Throughout the 1870s, Lord Carnarvon the British Secretary of State for the Colonies attempted to unite both the colonies and the Boer Republics into a self-governing — settler self-governing — dominion under the British flag. This was a somewhat grandiose scheme and there's a heady debate amongst historians about why Carnarvon tried to do this. We're going to take a closer look at what was going on internationally and how South Africa factored into this global picture because its part of the story. The concept of a confederated South Africa was obviously opposed by the Boer Republics. More significantly, it was also opposed by the Molteno Administration of the Cape Colony which was the biggest and the richest South African state by far. Liberal humanist historians believe Carnarvon wanted confederation to protect blacks from the colonials - but that's a shallow version of events. It was in Natal where the largest portion of the white population favoured confederation but even there lieutenant Governor Chilly Pine described an ‘apathy and indifference' to the policy by some. John X Merriman who was a member of Molteno's cabinet said “The fact is that the cry for Confederation is purely an extraneous one, born in the brain of Lord Carnarvon, local prejudice and local jealousy tending the other way…” Molteno and his Merriman were focused on infrastructure, work had begun on the Cape Parliamentary buildings in 1874, government funding of education was legislated, and the Molteno Government also established the South African public library system.  Nevertheless, in other circles in South Africa the call for Federation was growing — take the merchants of Port Elizabeth and a large section of English-speaking Natalians for example. With regard to the Port Elizabethans, the easterners as they were known, it was as matter of being dominated by western based politicians — western as in Western Cape just for clarification. Natal had yet to receive responsible government, unlike the Cape. Given the various political currents surging about the region, why did Carnarvon pursue the idea of Conferederation so aggressively? Theophilus Shepstone could be one reason. The Veteran of Natal's Native Affairs had met Carnarvon and converted him to what historian RL Cope calls an instrument of the sub-imperialist forces emanating from Natal. There was as paradox here. The tiny white minority of Natal was fearful of the black majority and therefore harboured impulses to bring further tracts of African territory under British Control. It was this demographic imbalance that drove the colonials voice, but it was a contradictory position for any imperial government to take.
