		<title>BNC#9 | Dr Iraj Abedian: SA's 80-year bond with Iran, and why America's Middle East era is ending</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1707102</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1707102</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Reza Shah of Iran died in exile in a house in Johannesburg in 1944. Eighty-two years later, an Iranian-born South African economist stood up at BNC#9 to explain why that strange, half-forgotten history still shapes how Pretoria thinks about Tehran, and why the war now raging between Iran, Israel and the United States might be the moment historians look back on as the start of America's retreat from the Middle East. Dr Iraj Abedian takes you from a British-orchestrated abdication and a CIA-backed coup, through Sasol's Iranian shareholder and Mandela's visits to Tehran, to a chessboard being redrawn "literally hourly." His verdict on Washington's war plan: a swamp, not a surrender. ]]></description>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1707098</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1707098</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Dawie Roodt says South Africa's taxpayers are being squeezed harder than ever, and he has the fresh numbers to prove it. In this BNC#9 keynote, the Efficient Group chief economist walks from 300,000 years of human history to the latest Reserve Bank bulletin to make one argument: the state is spending and taxing more than it ever has, while a shrinking pool of taxpayers carries the load. He explains why he backs a controversial BEE fund idea that a fellow speaker slammed at breakfast that same morning, why he's telling people to legally pay as little tax as possible, and what a Middle East ceasefire could mean for the rand, interest rates and South Africa's growth outlook. He also delivers his sharpest line yet on the ANC. ]]></description>

And SAPS spends R102-billion a year on salaries for a leadership structure of 722 generals and brigadiers. Ian Cameron, chair of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, lays out exactly where SAPS is broken, names the generals he says accountability keeps missing, and sets out five foundations he believes could turn it around, if anyone on the inside actually wants to. ]]></description>

		<title>BNC#9 | Rob Hersov: Why mafia, gangsters and tenderpreneurs make SA so difficult to turn around</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1706601</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1706601</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Rob Hersov became a household name in South African business circles for one speech and two words. Four years on, he's back on the BizNews stage with a harder, more complicated message: the country is not fixed, the ANC is not gone, and the crisis is deeper than most people admit. But he's also putting his own money down, on the West Coast, on a Cape Town-area development, and on a young entrepreneur building South Africa's first prediction market. Between the warnings about gangsters, hijacked buildings and a R1.8 trillion corporate cash pile sitting idle, Hersov makes the case that South Africa's real danger isn't collapse. It's getting used to it. Watch to hear why he thinks the municipal elections could be the turning point, and where he's actually putting his own capital. ]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1706427</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Prince Mashele doesn't do polite predictions. At BNC#9 in the Drakensberg, the political analyst and author of The Fall of the ANC lays out exactly how he believes South Africa's governing party ends: not with a bang, but a slow bleed to zero seats within two elections. He explains why Johannesburg matters more than any other contest on the ballot, why he expects Cyril Ramaphosa's own comrades to turn on him the moment the results land, and why he believes KwaZulu-Natal's unity has one heartbeat left in it. Then he does something rarer: he sets out the plan he and a growing group of South Africans are building to replace the ANC altogether, and tells the country's wealthy exactly what he thinks of their commitment to it. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Four months after taking over as DA federal leader, Geordin Hill-Lewis used his first BNC address to lay out exactly how he plans to close the gap on the ANC, why Cape Town's gun conviction numbers should worry everyone, and what one ANC mayor told him in private that he says has stayed with him. With the DA and ANC now separated by just seven points nationally, and Johannesburg's local election turning into a real contest, Hill-Lewis makes the case for why he thinks South African politics is about to change shape, whether the ANC likes it or not. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[He once said he wouldn't join his father's party. Now he's its second-in-command. Barely a week into the job, Duduzane Zuma used the BNC#9 stage to tell South Africa's business leaders exactly what he thinks they've got wrong, about land, about the Reserve Bank, and about the "masses" he says the boardroom keeps ignoring. He splits the economy into three, calls out white monopoly capital by name, and makes one direct ask of business: meet MK halfway. Whether that's a real olive branch or a warning shot is for the viewer to decide. ]]></description>

From tearing into the NHI Bill to naming his own "ten most wanted" list of state capture figures, de Beer never softened a line for anybody. What most of his audience didn't know while he was saying it: he was fighting cancer, quietly, the whole time. Chris Steyn revisits the utterances that built the show, and the man behind them. ]]></description>

Palantir's overnight 29% jump has Wall Street rethinking what it thought it knew about the company, and Karp isn't shy about telling you why. Elon Musk lays out exactly how far ahead SpaceX and Starlink already are, and how much further they're going, while South Africa keeps arguing with itself about letting Starlink in at all. Add a fresh Johannesburg poll that's bad news for the ANC, a Sasol result the market punished despite strong numbers, and Glencore handing billions back to shareholders, and you've got a day where markets and voters were settling the same argument. ]]></description>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1704202</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1704202</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In their latest weekly chat, Chris Steyn and political commentator Solly Moeng talk about the headline-grabbing actions of former President Jacob Zuma and the headline grabbing non-action of current President Cyril Ramaphosa: Zuma appointing his son, Duduzane, as MKP’s Deputy President while Ramaphosa has been sitting on the second interim report of the Madlanga Commission for over two months. They also discuss News24’s turn-around on former IDAC chief Andrea Johnson, as well as DIRCO’s release of a photograph of US Ambassador Leo Brent Bozell and International Relations Minister Roland Lamola posing with big smiles after meeting. “I think it's a good thing that the outside world is watching South Africa because we can be fooled into a false sense of patriotism that works against us. Because these politicians in South Africa are smart. You know, we're all going…yeah, let's protect South Africa, but we're actually protecting the stuff that is working against us here at home. …We need politicians here to know that they cannot just do anything and tell us yeah, let's protect the country when we're actually protecting them.” ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another BizNews tribe member has suffered a huge online trading platform loss. In this interview with Chris Steyn, Tommy Salem describes how he ended up on the FXSI platform after clicking on a clip showing AfriForum’s Kallie Kriel before losing R450 000 in two months. It was money Tommy could ill afford to lose: “I had a stroke. So I was at home for a year and I was busy with the therapy and that didn't work out and the company then decided to put me on permanent incapacity leave. ..That was money I received from my insurance and my incapacity benefit…it's painful to lose so much money…” In its response to BizNews, FXSI stated: “The complaint was received on 28 July 2026, acknowledged, and remains under formal investigation…As the matter is ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment publicly on the allegations or speculate on the outcome.” ]]></description>

As founder of Paramount, the defence and aerospace group he built into a business operating in twenty countries, he's used to controversy. But in this conversation with Alec Hogg, he's not talking weapons. He's talking about what his foundation's African Youth Survey reveals about a generation that trusts China more than America, doesn't believe in the ballot box, and might just take to the streets instead. He also has a stark warning for South Africa: Denel, the state defence company he helped build his own career alongside, may only have months, not years, left to save. ]]></description>

		<title>Kallie Kriel: AfriForum’s legal eagles to swoop on “Land Grab” Malema</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1703772</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1703772</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this interview with Chris Steyn, Kallie Kriel, the CEO of AfriForum, describes the legal battle being fought against the Expropriation Act in the Cape High Court this week. Detailing the implications of the act in current form, Kriel warns that after the Local Government Elections in November, municipalities under MK control could use a section of the act to expropriate without compensation. “They can use a reason that is not valid and they can go ahead…And that is why we will use the resources we have to fight this till the bitter end.” As for unlawful occupation, Kriel reveals that Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) CIC Julius Malema is facing legal action over his latest land grab call. “A few years back we got a court order successfully against him that he is not allowed to do that. He had to pay our costs. But you will see that during the last week he did it again. We have not announced that publicly; so you hear it the first time. But our legal team is drawing up a case at the moment because his behaviour is contempt of court. So we believe we have a strong case there.” ]]></description>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1703440</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1703440</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, former Western Cape Provincial Police Commissioner, Dr. Lennit Max hails the appointments of four new provincial commissioners. “This time around I am very pleased that the Acting National Commissioner in her wisdom decided that there's merit among people of colour.” He points out that all four appear seasoned as well. “Lieutenant General Sizakhele Dyanti in the Western Cape, got 34 years of service. Lieutenant General Arthur Adams, Northwest, 34 years of service as well. Lieutenant General Jan Scheepers, Limpopo, 38 years of service. And Lieutenant General Apapia Modise of Mpumalanga, 37 years of service. They are not people who are parachuted into those ranks.” As for the latest "heartbreaking "testimony at the Madlanga Commission, Dr Max says it is “damaging not only for Andrea Johnson, but to IDAC as a whole, the NPA, but most importantly, to government because government put these systems in place to ensure that they address the corruption in this country and we as citizens got hope that government is doing the right thing to put these systems in place and also to appoint people they believe got the necessary skill and commitment to serve our country without fear or favour. And it is totally unacceptable, and I think there must be consequences to that effect.” Lastly, Dr Max shares highlights from his autobiography which is being launched this month: “A Life That Refused to Bow”. ]]></description>

		<title>BizNews Edge: Second prosecution boss falls at Madlanga Commission; ANC heads into a tough November</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1703342</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1703342</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Two prosecution bosses down, and counting. The Madlanga Commission has just claimed its second casualty, and a leaked recording shows exactly how bad it got. Meanwhile fresh polling suggests the ANC is about to lose over 500 council seats, Interpol has crowned South Africa the ransomware capital of the continent, and the FSCA has landed a record R2.8 billion in fines, the bulk of which trace back to Banxso — the company behind those Elon Musk deepfake ads, the same scam BizNews first exposed. On the markets side, Nedbank, Telkom and Stor-Age all moved today, Lewis Group looks like a Buffett-style bargain hiding in plain sight, and Amazon just delivered one of the biggest single day gains in its history. Andy Jassy explains, in his own words, exactly why. ]]></description>

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Two prosecution bosses down, and counting. The Madlanga Commission has just claimed its second casualty, and a leaked recording shows exactly how bad it got. Meanwhile fresh polling suggests the ANC is about to lose over 500 council seats, Interpol has crowned South Africa the ransomware capital of the continent, and the FSCA has landed a record R2.8 billion in fines, the bulk of which trace back to Banxso — the company behind those Elon Musk deepfake ads, the same scam BizNews first exposed. On the markets side, Nedbank, Telkom and Stor-Age all moved today, Lewis Group looks like a Buffett-style bargain hiding in plain sight, and Amazon just delivered one of the biggest single day gains in its history. Andy Jassy explains, in his own words, exactly why.]]></itunes:summary>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1703130</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1703130</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[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”. ]]></description>

There's just one catch: to follow it, you'd have to think like a psychopath. Geraint Anderson, the man behind the legendary "Cityboy" column, tells BizNews editor Alec Hogg why he built his new book around Trump, Musk and the 'manosphere', how a near-fatal motorbike crash changed his mind about the game he was winning, and why the book is now selling harder in South Africa than almost anywhere else. He also explains, only half-joking, why he's booked in to be clinically assessed for psychopathy himself. ]]></description>

		<title>R1-billion blended finance programme to transform real estate</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1702180</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1702180</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[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.” ]]></description>

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.

		<title>BizNews Edge: Treasury pays 69 errant municipalities anyway, SARB rate hold is punishing the Rand</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1701724</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1701724</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Treasury switched off the taps to 69 municipalities for doing nothing about corruption and mismanagement. Today it switched them back on anyway, days before its own deadline. Alec Hogg asks the obvious question nobody in government wants to answer. Plus: why last week's Reserve Bank rate hold is already punishing the rand, a foundation funded by an arms dealer just published a survey putting China ahead of America in young Africans' eyes, and on the JSE it's a tale of two extremes: Valterra Platinum showering shareholders in cash while ArcelorMittal's losses widen by the day. And the machine that prints the world's most advanced chips just found out China isn't waiting around. ]]></description>

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Treasury switched off the taps to 69 municipalities for doing nothing about corruption and mismanagement. Today it switched them back on anyway, days before its own deadline. Alec Hogg asks the obvious question nobody in government wants to answer. Plus: why last week's Reserve Bank rate hold is already punishing the rand, a foundation funded by an arms dealer just published a survey putting China ahead of America in young Africans' eyes, and on the JSE it's a tale of two extremes: Valterra Platinum showering shareholders in cash while ArcelorMittal's losses widen by the day. And the machine that prints the world's most advanced chips just found out China isn't waiting around.]]></itunes:summary>

		<description><![CDATA[In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, Political Commentator Solly Moeng, talks about four political parties joining in a Constitutional Court bid to try and overturn President Cyril Ramaposa's impeachment committee interdict; a murder investigation into the death of General Sindile Mfazi, who was investigating an unauthorised undercover operation to cover up wrongdoings at high level; and the assassination of another corruption whistleblower, Emfuleni accountant Martha Rantsofu. “...everything that we see is really just the tip of a huge, massive iceberg.

		<title>Ian Cameron: 41,000 killed with illegal guns and the factional battle for control of SAPS</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1701214</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1701214</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, Ian Cameron, the Chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, talks about the revelation that - in the last four financial years - over 41,000 murders were committed with unlicensed firearms, but fewer than 400 murders with licensed firearms whilst the government is pushing for stricter self defence laws. “There's no doubt that there’s some kind of a political ideological push to disarm and to centralise power…if they should ever succeed with this draconian and absolutely ridiculous piece of legislation, it would result in tyranny.” Commenting on the resignation of IDAC Chief Andrea Johnson, Cameron notes that a “specific faction of people…seemed to be dead set on securing control of certain leadership positions…if you had gained control of especially Crime Intelligence and obviously the office of the National Commissioner, you would have relatively easy access to the Secret Service funds, which obviously is massive amount of money that very often ends up in a political tug-of-war because if you control that and you know how to seemingly use it in the wrong way you would be able to get a lot of money for your campaigning and political work.” He warns: “...we mustn't underestimate how in-depth and detailed a lot of the planning goes to perform some of these bigger, broader strategies. I think it was, is, possibly, might still be, a massive risk to the stability of the criminal justice system.” ]]></description>

		<title>Zuma in crisis: Disgruntled MKP members to vote ARU - Jabulani Khumalo</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1700787</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1700787</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, the real founder of MKP, Jabulani Khumalo, comes out in support of The African Renaissance Unity Party (ARU) founded to lobby for the interests of traditional chiefs and their communities. With Khumalo's battle to reclaim control of the party - “hijacked” by former President Jacob Zuma - still winding through the courts, he calls on MKP members to vote for ARU in the upcoming Local Government Elections. He fumes at Zuma’s latest shock move to take over personal control of MKP’s finances and warns: “people must know that Zuma doesn't like MK. Zuma is the ANC - and he will die as the ANC. So he's in the MK just to loot money”. Khumalo describes how the “craziness of Zuma” and the games he plays have created mayhem in MKP. As for the enduring relationship of the former president with the fugitive Guptas of State Capture, Khumalo charges that Zuma’s aim was to use them to move money out of the country for him. He also reveals what is behind Zuma’s shock move to kick his daughter, Duduzile, out of MK. ]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1700640</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[An anti-immigration raid on a private housing estate in the Western Cape is causing a furore. In this interview with Chris Steyn, Eva Crouwel, a property owner on High Riding Estate, describes how police in a fleet of about six vans - accompanied by Home Affairs officials - descended on the estate last week, gained entry without a warrant, “stopped their vehicles at multiple properties, were knocking on doors, were hooting their cars, effectively in an effort seemingly to gain access to the properties” until they were escorted off the estate by several residents and security. Crouwel, a trained lawyer, says: “I have done some investigation into the various applicable legislations and have not been able to ascertain that there is in fact a permission for access to private residential properties without producing a warrant…And if we allow the Police Force of South Africa to enter those premises without due cause or warrant, then that becomes a very slippery road that we are going to find ourselves on.” While the matter is now under further legal advisement, Crouwel has this advice for other estates: “Unless somebody has a warrant against you or something on your property in a very well described matter, on duly documented legal documents, you are not under any responsibility to let them onto your property.” ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Elon Musk tells The Economist that AI will out-think the whole of humanity within five years, and he sounds strangely at peace with that. Back home, the Reserve Bank blindsided everyone with a shock rate hold, the Rand took its worst knock in months, and Citigroup walked away from a bet it had believed in for weeks. Add a dramatic exit at the top of South Africa's anti-corruption unit, big numbers from Vodacom and Impala Platinum, and a fond farewell to RW Johnson, and that's a full day of news in about twenty minutes.

		<title>The NdB Sunday Show - Mark Regev: Israel and SA, Israel and the US, and the end game of the Iran War</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1700299</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1700299</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In the latest NdB Sunday Show, Chris Steyn spoke to Mark Regev, the former senior advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On the bilateral relationship between South Africa and Israel, he says: “... it's clear we're going through a difficult period. South Africa says it wants to promote peace and justice in the Middle East. But you can't do that by only speaking to one side. You can't do that by ignoring one side.” He contrasts that to a visit to Israel by the late President Nelson Mandela during which he stated that Israel had a right to live behind secure borders. Asked what Israel would do if US President Donald Trump exited the Iran war under pressure, Regev was adamant that Israel would protect itself.. “Now, if that can be done diplomatically through an agreement, of course we would support that. If unfortunately the regime isn't willing on its own devices…to stop its quest for a nuclear weapon, then Israel…reserves the right to act.” He deems Israel to be in a better place now than before the October 7 Hamas massacre: “we have bounced back and we have shown that we can defend ourselves, and those who will try to murder our people, those who will try to butcher our children, will pay a price.” As for the elimination of Hamas operatives involved in the attack, he stresses that “longstanding Israeli policy is that you will be brought to justice one way or another”. Regev explains why “no one in Israel is going to be talking about a Palestinian state for the foreseeable future”. And describes how Israel has also “decimated” Hezbollah, whose “ferocious military machine” was “much stronger” than that of Hamas and the Lebanese State. Regev is also a former Ambassador to the UK, the co-host of the "Israel Undiplomatic" podcast, and lecturer in International Relations at Reichman University. ]]></description>

		<title>Lance Dickson: Turning outrage into consequence: the AI cluster built for South Africa's next boycott</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1699858</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1699858</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Lance Dickson kept having the same conversation. A failing council. A price hike nobody could explain. Everyone complained. Nothing changed. So he built Ryze instead, a self-funded civic action platform designed to convert that outrage into organised economic consequence. In his latest interview with Irakli, the founder unpacks the six-agent AI cluster running underneath it, from a news-scanning watchdog named Argus to a legal gatekeeper named Shield, built so nothing goes live without clearing a legal check first. The mechanism isn't new. Pamphlets and word of mouth forced PUTCO to reverse a bus fare hike in 1957. Dickson just wants to run it at national scale. The urgency comes from the street, not the boardroom. "I literally got told yesterday from a petrol attendant that he doesn't know who to vote for," he says. He traces the instinct back to the country itself. South Africa, he says, is "known as one of the countries that have put boycotting on the map." ]]></description>

In her director's cut interview, the DA's mayoral candidate explains why half of Johannesburg's infrastructure budget went unspent last year, how "wasted" ward votes are quietly handing the ANC an advantage, and what she really thinks about the Steenhuisen-Tony Leon lobbying row threatening to embarrass her own party. Plus, why the market just punished Alphabet, Tesla and Patrice Motsepe's ARM for spending big, while rewarding the cash hoarders at Mr Price.

		<title>Parliament faces protest over lagging legislation for a provincial referendum</title>

		<description><![CDATA[In this interview with Chris Steyn, Heindrich Wyngaard, the executive chairperson of Cape Forum, details plans for a protest outside the National Assembly next month over the long wait for appropriate legislation to enable a provincial referendum . “And we are also planning to be present at that Home Affairs Portfolio Committee meeting on the 11th of August to ensure that enough pressure is put on the committee to speed up the process.” Meanwhile, Wyngaard hails plans by the City of Cape Town to establish its own detective force as a significant step towards the devolution of policing powers. “The evidence is clear to whoever is watching the Madlanga Commission's hearings, whoever has been following the Parliamentary Ad Hoc Committee sittings that……the state of policing is rotten. The crime stats…has not convinced us or anyone in the country that the police are winning the war against criminals.” As for the SANDF being deployed to Cape Flats, Wyngaard says they are no match for the gangs. "It's deep rooted and has become what I'd like to call an established underworld economy…So it brings us back to the plan of Geordin Hill-Lewis and the Democratic Alliance …to claim detective powers for the Metro Police in order to ensure that we get to where we should get to, which is successful prosecutions of those being caught by the police.” ]]></description>

		<title>Director’s Cut - Helen Zille: Time is running out for bankrupt Joburg to be saved</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1699525</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1699525</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[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. ]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1699209</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Seven months into the Iran war, economist Iraj Abedian tells Alec Hogg that Donald Trump has lost more than the battle for the Strait of Hormuz: he's lost America's standing as the world's dominant power. Abedian explains why the narrow waterway carries a third of global oil, why the mullahs are more afraid of each other than of Washington, and why South Africa's tilt toward Iran through BRICS looks like a costly misjudgement. He also has a warning for the Gulf states banking on American protection, and for the rest of us watching from the sidelines. ]]></description>

		<title>Pele Collins: From SpaceX to Y-Combinator: Unlocking the giant origami structures of orbit</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1699178</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1699178</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[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. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Former hedge fund manager and CFA James Gubb argues the AI boom is real, but many investors are backing the wrong winners. In this interview with Alec Hogg, he explains why Oracle's credit downgrade could signal deeper cracks, why OpenAI and hyperscalers face mounting pressure, how China's AI advances are reshaping competition, and why energy - not AI models - could deliver the biggest long-term investment opportunity. Is this another dot-com bubble, or something even bigger? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Veteran investor James Gubb joins BizNews Edge to cut through the AI hype, weighing today's data centre spending against history's biggest capital booms and explaining why he's backing energy and nuclear stocks over AI names themselves. Also on today's show: Sasol's operational turnaround continues even as its share price cools after a strong run, Nedbank locks in its East Africa expansion via Kenya's NCBA Group, and Kumba Iron Ore's ugly trading update lays bare the toll of a strong rand and Transnet's rail failures. Plus, why Thursday's Reserve Bank rate decision just got more hawkish. ]]></description>

		<title>Ramaphosa impeachment would cause big fractures in the GNU</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1698659</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1698659</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this interview with Chris Steyn, Independent Governance Expert Richard Chelin predicts that an impeachment of President Cyril Ramaphosa would have grave consequences for the Government of National Unity (GNU) - particularly in the light of Vice President Paul Mashatile’s keenness to work with parties other than the Democratic Alliance. “I think we will see some great fractures coming to the fore. Because we have to remember that there are very difficult political factions, some within the ANC themselves are willing to work with other parties besides the DA. And I would say it's going to be quite a tough time.” Chelin hails the latest development in the Tembisa Hospital looting scandal with President Cyril Ramaphosa’s nephew by marriage permanently forfeiting R326-million of assets. Chelin rates the overall performance of the GNU; examines the differences in effectiveness between the Zondo and the Madlanga commissions of inquiry; laments the “lack of teeth” of parliamentary committees; applauds the strong role played by civil society in enforcing proper governance through the courts; and slams political parties for clogging up the overburdened justice system. “There's quite a sad irony here because civil society goes to court to hold those in power to account. But then…political actors…weaponise the courts with their delaying tactics…” ]]></description>

		<title>Ian Cameron - 722 Generals &amp; Brigadiers @ R3,6-billion, more pressure on CR &amp; another cloud over Mchunu…</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1698133</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1698133</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, Ian Cameron, the Chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, reveals that the South African Police Service (SAPS) has 722 brigadiers and generals that cost nearly R3.6 billion in pay and maintenance. In addition, only five of 823 senior SAPS officers underwent lifestyle audits in the 2024-25 financial year - and all five were cleared. Describing how certain officers jump ranks, Cameron says: “It seems that you either need to be well connected, not only politically, but strategically connected in parts of the police, or you need to be up to something that you shouldn't necessarily be busy with.” Meanwhile, Cameron denies reports that Special Leave Minister Senzo Mchunu and all the others were cleared in the Ad Hoc Committee draft report. “That's totally false.” As for breaking news of an explosive affidavit by suspended Inspector General of Intelligence Imtiaz Fazel, Cameron says it “draws a bit more of a dark cloud over” Minister Mchunu. “I think it puts a lot more pressure on the President… I think there are many many missing pieces of the puzzle that could be filled in if he (Fazel) is allowed to testify (at the Madlanga Commission).” ]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1697881</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this edition of the NdB Sunday Show with Chris Steyn, Political Commentator Solly Moeng lays into President Cyril Ramaphosa - in particular over his desperate court battle to stave off an impeachment hearing. He also reviews a week of extraordinary dramatic scenes at the Madlanga Commission of Enquiry with more pressure building on Crime Intelligence boss General Feroz Khan and IDAC chief Andrea Johnson. “So these are the people who are heading institutions that were designed to stand between South Africa and Hell. But instead they are the ones who are being scrutinised for wrongdoing.” As for tenderpreneur Cat Matlala’s fierce legal representative Advocate Annelene van den Heever buying him more time, and businessman Suliman Carrim shopping at Woollies when he was supposed to be in a medical facility, Moeng charges “these guys - including the president - seem to be lawyering up against South Africa’s democracy…it's almost like we've been living in some kind of Political Ponzi Scheme. We need to bring down the Ponzi Scheme…” ]]></description>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1697197</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1697197</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In their latest interview with Chris Steyn, Willem Els of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) and Richard Chelin, an independent governance expert, share details of the war on drugs and crime in South Africa. Describing the struggle of dedicated detectives, Els reveals “for the past three months at one of the units they use a private vehicle and they rotate…and they are filling it up…just to do the job. You know, that's dedication - and that's the thin blue line that we are talking about; and those are the guys that actually make a difference in South Africa and stand between us and anarchy if you look at what's going on in the police.” On top of their lack of resources across the board, they are battling huge management challenges: “...they're running out of commissioners or generals to appoint as acting because of the arrests and so on….it is very demoralising if the one that you're looking up, if the one that is supposed to give you guidance, is actually exposed as a possible criminal. And who is guiding them then? You know, so those guys have got a real challenge. Their role models are being arrested. What now?” ]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1697132</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[The PIC's governance crisis has reached the regulator. Hours after suspending CEO Patrick Dlamini and acting CIO August Uys, the board now faces a formal FSCA Section 135 investigation into governance, leadership and transparency at the R3.5 trillion asset manager. DA federal finance chairperson Dr Mark Burke tells Alec Hogg why this is the fifth executive suspension in two years, how a murky Lanseria Airport shareholding sits behind Dlamini's fall, and why two ANC factions inside the GNU are pulling in opposite directions on the PIC's unlisted investments. Also on today's Edge: Amazon's quiet regulatory win over Starlink, a rescue deal taking shape for ArcelorMittal's Newcastle Works, and a tidy payday for Prosus in Uber's swoop on Delivery Hero. ]]></description>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1696770</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1696770</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In his latest chat with Chris Steyn, political commentator Solly Moeng dissects the widening scandal around Tony Leon's lobbying amid former Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen’s mission of vengeance and the damaging fall-out for the party. “...what is very clear is that the DA is no longer just walking on still waters…Geordin Hill-Lewis can't be sleeping with both eyes closed right now...” Moeng also comments on the skeletons toppling out of closets thanks to the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, including the relationship between Crime Intelligence (CI) Chief General Feroz Khan and Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) CIC Julius Malema. As for IDAC Chief Andrea Johnson’s sudden hospitalisation ahead of her appearance, Moeng says: “...we see the growth of this so-called Madlanga Ward at some hospital out there…We've been a country of no consequences for too long. They might try…by getting hospitalised, delay processes, lie, protect one another. South Africans must not sleep until there are consequences. We're not just looking for entertainment, we're looking for people to fall because they cannot do this to South Africa and get away with it.” Meanwhile, Moeng hails the arrest of former Ekurhuleni City Manager Imogen Mashazi, one among a spate of top officials and policemen facing the law after being implicated at the inquiry into police and political capture. ]]></description>

The DA accuses DIRCO of years of neglect, poor maintenance and a lack of transparency, while government insists the closure is temporary and planned.

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1696248</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[South Africa's weight loss jab boom has a dark underside. A Pretoria pharmacy, iDexis, was producing roughly 84,500 units of semaglutide a month — more than Novo Nordisk's entire local sales of Ozempic and Wegovy — under the guise of a one-off "compounding" exemption meant for individual patients. Regulators only inspected the premises this year, more than two years after Novo Nordisk first complained, and found no sterile ventilation, no batch records, and no adverse-event tracking. Elsewhere, the Public Investment Corporation has suspended CEO Patrick Dlamini over an alleged Lanseria Airport conflict of interest, its fifth executive suspension in two years. ]]></description>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1696145</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1696145</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this wide-ranging interview with Chris Steyn, Ian Cameron, the Chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, details the shocking DNA testing backlog. “...this is literally how a child rapist, a child murderer, any murderer or rapist for that matter walks free. This is literally the way that the State, the inability of the State to process this evidence, becomes the reason for a rapist to continue raping.” Cameron discusses the widening scandal surrounding Crime Intelligence (CI) boss General Feroz Khan, the case of suspended Lieutenant General Molefe Fani, and others. “What the Madlanga Commission is showing us is that Khan was actually one of the key pieces of the puzzle for Fani to ensure that this procurement process for PPE during the COVID-19 period was smoothly operated with the South African Police Service……a lot of key players in SAPS knew that Fani had been involved in this irregular PPE procurement during his time as a Chief Procurement officer at National Treasury. And he was still appointed in SAPS as the Head of Supply Chain Management. That tells you that it was strategically done. That would be a key way of ensuring that a 360 million Rand Medicare 24 contract can come in. It's a key way of structuring your entire process before the contract could come in, in order for it not to be red flagged… lot of the things that are happening, make no mistake, it was done deliberately - and it was done deliberately to hollow out and to control the system in order to ensure that further criminality would be able to flourish.” ]]></description>

Endres also unpacks why so many of South Africa's estimated one million skilled emigrants stay away, and delivers an unexpected verdict: he's more optimistic about South Africa's prospects than Britain's, arguing the UK has traded freedom for safety and lost its economic nerve in the process. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this Director's Cut of BizNews editor Alec Hogg's conversation with IRR CEO John Endres, the full, unedited exchange goes well beyond BEE and the diaspora. Endres unpacks why R1.8 trillion in corporate reserves and R1.5 trillion parked offshore still isn't flowing home, why Washington's frustration with Pretoria is bipartisan and deepening, and why Treasury's decision to freeze equitable-share payments to Johannesburg and 68 other municipalities is a warning shot that could escalate. He also weighs in on the DA's internal turmoil following Steenhuisen's public break with new leader Geordin Hill-Lewis, and why he still won't drop his "conditional optimism" on South Africa. ]]></description>

		<title>A world-first: the bond that pays out when nature wins</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1695376</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1695376</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this BizNews interview, Irakli Rekhviashvili sits down with the three people behind FirstRand's R2.5 billion Cape Water Performance-Based Bond, the first time a commercial bank anywhere in the world has tied a bond's payout to nature. The Nature Conservancy's Louise Stafford traces it to 2018, when Cape Town's dams were weeks from "Day Zero" and the catchments were choked with thirsty invasive trees. Her teams have since cleared 40,000 hectares and reclaimed more than 36 billion litres of water. "If we clear that we can reclaim about two months' water supply for Cape Town at a fraction of the cost of grey infrastructure," she says. RMB's Martin Potgieter explains the twist: investors earn a performance-based success payment on top of their coupon, paid only when the trees actually come down and independent verifiers confirm it. The aim, he says, is to "get the investors to start thinking about nature as an asset class," and tellingly, "75% of the outcomes-based funding came from entities that had never before funded nature." Peace Parks Foundation's Colin Porteous frames the deeper problem: "Historically, conservation has been a cash-negative product," and philanthropy alone cannot carry a $700 million, 10-year funding need. Potgieter's parting warning is blunt: ecosystems are "the infrastructure behind the infrastructure," and the money flowing into nature must multiply "by 40, 50, maybe 100 times." ]]></description>

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[In this BizNews interview, Irakli Rekhviashvili sits down with the three people behind FirstRand's R2.5 billion Cape Water Performance-Based Bond, the first time a commercial bank anywhere in the world has tied a bond's payout to nature. The Nature Conservancy's Louise Stafford traces it to 2018, when Cape Town's dams were weeks from "Day Zero" and the catchments were choked with thirsty invasive trees. Her teams have since cleared 40,000 hectares and reclaimed more than 36 billion litres of water. "If we clear that we can reclaim about two months' water supply for Cape Town at a fraction of the cost of grey infrastructure," she says. RMB's Martin Potgieter explains the twist: investors earn a performance-based success payment on top of their coupon, paid only when the trees actually come down and independent verifiers confirm it.

		<title>The NdB Sunday Show - Willem Els: The deadly recipe of the Ballito bomb boy…</title>

		<description><![CDATA[In this edition of NdB Sunday Show with Chris Steyn, explosives expert Willem Els of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) reveals just how deadly a bomb-making recipe was used by the 15-year-old boy who wanted to commit mass killing at a Ballito mall. “what was really alarming for me when I look at especially the one ingredient that he stipulated…with any explosive substance that you mix, you have to have two ingredients. The one is your reducing agent and one is your oxidizing agent. So… one is the fuel and the other one… provides the oxygen inside the mixture. So that was there. And also we see that it was similar, not exactly the same, but similar to, for instance, the type of explosives that was mixed by ISIS in Europe, especially the attacks in Paris, the attack on the airport in Brussels. And so that killed a lot of people. Very similar. Also, then referred to as the Mother of Satan, those explosives.” The boy’s bomb-making recipe was contained in the last paragraph of a Manifesto written by him. As for why the bomb did not detonate, Els says: “I believe it was a flaw in his construction…it was just burning very fast instead of detonating.” Meanwhile, police are on high alert for copy cat attacks, and Els expresses faith that - despite questions remaining about the initial handling of the case - the investigation is now being properly done by expert investigators. ]]></description>

She argues the real measure of success lies in improving literacy and numeracy from the foundation phase, while defending the DA's record in government and outlining why investing in young learners will shape South Africa's future. ]]></description>

In this interview with Chris Steyn, Jasmine Opperman, who spent over 20 years in South Africa’s intelligence services, and who is now a senior analyst at Fulcrum Analytics, takes viewers through the case of Portia Anyamba - who held the position of programme management operational specialist in the National Security Programme Office at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. She came under surveillance by the FBI during regular communication with a State Security Agency (SSA) official stationed at the SA Embassy in Washington and was intercepted prior to another meeting with the official who had instructed her: “Please remember to also bring the laptop with.” Opperman says this case comes at a “very convenient time” for politicians in America. “Is this the ideal situation that the Trump government has been waiting for?” ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chilling details have emerged of a recent failed bomb attack in the packed Food Court of the Ballito Junction Regional Mall. The device was placed by a 15-year-old radicalised teen intent on committing mass killing, but it failed to explode. The FBI alerted The Hawks, but the bomb had already been placed. The teen was finally arrested last week. In this interview with Chris Steyn, Willem Els, the Senior Training Coordinator on Terrorism and Explosives Related Incidents at the Transnational Threat and International Crimes Programme of the Institute for Security Studies, says: “For a long time, we've been warning about your prevalence of the so-called Lone Wolf scenario in South Africa…And this is maybe a wake-up call for South Africa ”. Prior to placing the bomb, the teen had published his Manifesto on Telegram. In it, he glorified mass killings and claimed that traumatic personal experiences had driven him to extremist online communities whose members were the only people who understood him. Listing all the red flags in the subsequent handling of the case, Els calls for a thorough IPID investigation. ]]></description>

		<title>BizNews Edge: Dr Frans Cronje on what the Steenhuisen interview really cost the DA</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1694292</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1694292</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Dr Frans Cronje joins Alec Hogg for a wide-ranging catch-up that reframes the week's political noise into something more useful: a structural theory of why the DA is stuck and what it actually has to do next. His regime change argument is sharp — South Africans have lost confidence in the ANC, but they haven't yet gained confidence in the DA as a replacement. Until they do, the country sits in no-man's land. His defense of Tony Leon is equally direct: what Steenhuisen has alleged is lobbying, not state capture, and conflating the two is both factually wrong and damaging to the economy. Also today: Prosus raises $1.65 billion in investment-grade AI-era debt; Hyprop's oversubscribed JSE capital raise proves the exchange is working exactly as it should; and Rob Hersov makes the case for flagpole neutrality at Bishops. ]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1694307</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Frans Cronje delivers a hard-hitting assessment of the Democratic Alliance's internal turmoil, John Steenhuisen's dramatic fall from grace, and what it means for South Africa's political future. He argues the DA's biggest challenge is proving it can govern better than the ANC, warns that voter confidence is slipping, and explains why Helen Zille's Johannesburg ambitions could reshape the country. Cronje also defends Tony Leon, dismisses state capture claims, and outlines why he remains cautiously optimistic about South Africa's future. ]]></description>

		<title>BizNews Edge: William Saunderson-Meyer unpacks John Steenhuisen's News24 interview</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1693161</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1693161</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[William Sanderson-Meyer has been watching South African politicians for more than three decades. His verdict on John Steenhuisen's News24 interview is unsparing: it was a ransom note. Not a whistleblower's disclosure, not a principled stand — a threat, published in the open, by a man who cannot accept his own demotion and needs the DA to find him a way out. WSM traces the damage: a personal financial hit of half a million rand a year, severed relationships, a tainted brand, and a party now forced to choose between quietly paying him off or risking a public war three months before a local government election. Either outcome, WSM argues, tells you exactly who is really running the DA. Also today: National Treasury pulls funding from 65 municipalities including Johannesburg, Shell sells its South African forecourts to Abu Dhabi's ADNOC, and 91's founders buy their own shares. ]]></description>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1693147</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1693147</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, Solly Moeng, blasts President Cyril Ramaphosa for his appointments of Ayanda Dlodlo as Ambassador to France and Dina Pule to Cabinet. “...the ANC still looks in its own dustbin of people they've thrown in the past to say, OK, maybe this one, people have forgotten who they are. Let's use them again.” He further slams the President’s failure to act against suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu. “It's the same thing as Jacob Zuma not being charged for State Capture… This whole Madlanga Commission was started because this man decided to, from what we've heard, listen to voices that he shouldn't have listened to in order to dismantle a police unit that was busy scratching in places where seemingly the criminal network was not liking it anymore.” Moeng also describes the “mud pit” predicament of current Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Geordin Hill-Lewis over the damaging public spat between two former party leaders, Tony Leon and John Steenhuisen “... whether Geordin Hill-Lewis wants to be part of the conversation or not, it's hurting the political party. This is the DA that has always been positioned as morally higher, holier than thou kind of party…it's pushing the DA morally, ethically on the back foot. So it's going to be interesting to see how they survive this.” Moeng further comments on the latest corruption revelations at the Madlanga Commission, and the games being played by some of the big role players. “I really hope that Madlanga will give the criminal justice system something that will lead to the fall of the big names hidden in there.” ]]></description>

He also breaks down the Cape Town mayoral race, the anti-immigrant protests spreading across South Africa, and why he won't speak to Helen Zille directly.

		<description><![CDATA[In the latest NdB Sunday Show Chris Steyn talks to Lauren Evanthia, the founder of the Organic Humanity Movement (OHM), about former President Jacob Zuma’s reunion with one of the Guptas in India in the presence of a South African diplomat, while South Africa is struggling to find the Guptas and extradite them for State Capture; President Cyril Ramaphosa’s appointment of Dina Pule as a Cabinet Minister a decade after she was removed from Parliament; and the revelations of the secret messages on the phone of Crime Intelligence (CI) boss General Feroz Khan who fought so hard to prevent access to his devices and now he is in hospital fighting for his life after an alleged assassination attempt - just days before he was going to be questioned at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry. “... are we just gonna sit here, carry on watching the Madlanga Commission day in and day out and not do anything? Instead of just treating it like a daily soap opera, we should be getting more angry because we are only seeing a small little peek.

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1691869</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1691869</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Six months ago, KwaZulu-Natal farmer Pete Keene came to BizNews with a warning nobody wanted to hear. His herd was a hundred percent infected with foot and mouth disease, the government's response had a zero percent chance of working, and the law wouldn't even let him reach for a needle and syringe. Today, a lot has changed on paper — the High Court struck down that law, the minister who defended it has been removed — but Pete's message is stark: the fire is still burning, and the real cost, a calving rate that crashed from ninety to thirty percent, won't fully show up until 2032. He never asked for a bailout. He asked to be heard. Also today: Johan Rupert sits on a R100bn cash pile after the cleanest exit in Remgro's history; the DA leads the ANC in by-elections nationally for the first time, then detonates a credibility bomb in the same week; and Business Unity SA walks away from the UIF after six years of being ignored. ]]></description>

		<title>Willem Els and Richard Chelin: Fake weight loss drugs flood the market, and Cat’s plea deal is rejected</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1691470</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1691470</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this interview with Chris Steyn, Willem Els of the Institute for Security Studies (SS) and Richard Chelin, an independent governance specialist, describe how organised crime syndicates have transitioned from making fake Covid-19 vaccines to flood the South African market with fake pharmaceuticals, particularly lifestyle drugs, like those for weight loss. They also comment on breaking news that a Magistrate has rejected the plea deal of tenderpreneur Cat Matlala. Chellin raised the question whether the plea deal in this highly politicised case could have been rushed, and Els says: “...if you look at the charges that he is facing and you look at the severity of those charges and you look at the deal that's been cut with him, the two don't add up…that was a sentiment also of the judgment by the magistrate….”. As for the mystery surrounding the apparent assassination attempt on Crime Intelligence boss General Feroz Khan just days short of his appearance before the Madlanga Commission, Els adds: “They have to cut this one to the bone because I think it's in the interest of the rule of law in South Africa.” ]]></description>

		<title>BizNews Edge: &quot;A whistleblower needs clean hands&quot; — Paul O'Sullivan's case against General Mkwanazi</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1691394</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1691394</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan spent over six hours giving sworn testimony to the Madlanga Commission on Monday — and his argument cuts straight through the mythology around General Ntlantlam Mkwanazi. O'Sullivan says the man hailed as a rare whistleblowing cop has in fact been part of the problem since 2012, when he unlawfully unsuspended Richard Mdluli on what O'Sullivan says were Jacob Zuma's instructions — then covered it up for eight years. A whistleblower, he told the commission, needs clean hands. He also argues Mkwanazi's balaclava-clad press conference of July 2025 was timed to deflect from the arrest of seven senior crime intelligence officers two days earlier. Also today: Ramaphosa's cabinet reshuffle delivers one jaw-dropping own goal — Dina Pule, found guilty of persistent dishonesty by Parliament, now controls R300bn in social grants. And South 32 shares jump 10% as Alcoa commits $5.5bn to South African industrial assets. ]]></description>

		<title>BizNews Edge: Corné Mulder on Steenhuisen's fall: sympathy, not schadenfreude — and a warning for SA</title>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1691098</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Freedom Front Plus leader Corné Mulder gives BizNews the clearest outside read yet on the Democratic Alliance's implosion — tracing the Steenhuisen saga back to Trump's first executive order, the Oval Office "dim the lights" meeting, and a coalition built without a negotiated platform. Mulder explains why he feels sorry for his old rival, draws a hard line between DA and FF Plus values ahead of the local government elections, and warns of "bad actors on the periphery" who want South Africa's economy to fail. Plus: ABSA shares drop 8% despite calm guidance, and Tony Leon hits back at Steenhuisen's claims that his firm pulled strings behind the scenes. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[South Africa is not only dealing with a National Shutdown this week, but also with a couple of political hand grenades. In his latest chat to Chris Steyn, political commentator Solly Moeng his gives take on the alleged assassination attempt on Crime Intelligence (CI) boss General Feroz Khan just days before he was due at the Madlanga Commission, which heard testimony today that allies of the General had offered MKP MP Vusi Shongwe a R10-million bribe to back off pursuing testimony from him; as well as bombshell allegations from embittered former Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen. “...Who owns the truth? Do political leaders and other office bearers take decisions because they really came to a point of being informed that this was good for South Africa, or are they doing it because somebody else is paying somebody else to convince them that's the way to go?” Moeng also comments on breaking news of violence erupting between marchers and residents in Yeoville amid relative calm on National Shut Down day. ]]></description>

		<title>Rian Malan to Helen Zille: Behind the MoM marches lurks something far more dangerous</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1690641</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1690641</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Rian Malan is the author of My Traitor's Heart — a bestseller translated into 11 languages, still in print decades after publication, and a book that drew praise from V.S. Naipaul, John le Carré and the New York Times as one of the most important works ever written about South Africa. In short, he is the real thing, one of the finest non-fiction writers our country has produced. And for me, easily the greatest living SA writer. Commissioning Malan at rates that reflect his stature is beyond what BizNews can fund from its operating budget. The economics of modern media — collapsing CPMs, platform aggregation, subscription fatigue — make it impossible. But a BizNews community member has changed that. Their donation has seeded a commissioning fund dedicated to sourcing the very best South African writing and research for our readers: work we could not otherwise afford. This is not charity. It is an investment in the journalism South Africa needs — fearless, deeply reported, written with the skill that makes it stick. If this piece moves you, consider joining the fund. Write to me via alec@biznews.com. Not to cover salaries or overheads, but to put more Rian Malans in front of more South Africans. And for the rest of the tribe, enjoy. - Alec Hogg ]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1690574</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Today's BizNews Edge covers three stories that cut to the heart of South African business and politics. John Steenhuisen has broken publicly with the DA, naming Geordin Hill-Lewis and Tony Leon in allegations that threaten serious damage to the party just months before the 2026 municipals. Prosus, once a byword for discount and drift, has delivered full-year results that show a genuine turnaround — every regional ecosystem now profitable, Takealot breaking even for the first time, and a buyback programme outpacing Meta and Apple. And then the story Alec Hogg has been building toward for months: Malcolm King, the invisible man behind the Steinhoff fraud, found dead in a Cotswolds village — poisoned by a Romanian sex worker — before justice could reach him. The Reserve Bank reckoning rolls on. This one is worth your full attention. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the latest edition of the NdB Sunday Show with Chris Steyn, Lauren Evanthia, the Founder of the Organic Humanity Movement (OHM), talks about fears that the National Shutdown this week could spark unrest with African National Congress (ANC) SG Fikile Mbalula accusing former President Jacob Zuma of fuelling anti-immigrant violence: “..when we reach a point when…systems start to crumble because of government failure and the lack of ethical leadership, what happens is that society starts to take over. And it takes over in a very chaotic way because we don't have a replacement for government failure on such a large scale.” Commenting on the SG’s defence of the ANC Speaker of Parliament over her handling of the Phala Phala matter, she fumes: “..people can hide behind parties...the party politics in South Africa is in my opinion the number one biggest stumbling block towards our progress as a nation”. As for tenderpreneur Cat Matlala cutting a plea deal and turning State Witness, Evanthia charges: “…these commissions of inquiry that keep on happening are just a distraction to the fact that we're not actually going for solutions in this country. Those with power are not implementing solutions.” Also on the agenda is new Democratic Alliance (DA) leader, Geordin Hill-Lewis, under fire already because Cape Town has lost its clean audit status, and the former leader of the party, John Steenhuisen, is spewing bile because he feels betrayed by his erstwhile friend. ]]></description>

Oil spiked as Iran struck a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz mid-negotiation, OpenAI stalled its IPO, and African Bank posted a near-billion-rand loss. Back home, who is behind the assassinations of candidates and councilors during South Africa's voter registration weekend, and what does it mean for the elections ahead? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[African Bank swung to a loss of nearly a billion rand after a four-year spree of buying and bolting together three banks to build a full-service lender, and the bad debt charge is still climbing. The contrast is brutal: a focused platinum-and-chrome miner, Tharisa, is printing cash with profit up more than sixfold, and the very morning African Bank’s loss landed, Tharisa was locking in fresh funding for its next mine. Anglo American, meanwhile, is reshaping itself around copper, selling out of coal and much of its South African portfolio while holding on to iron ore, and what that signals for local investors is the real question. ]]></description>

		<title>DA supports ANC to pass R71bn Metro budget, political hits, by-elections result | Wayne Sussman</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1689518</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1689518</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In the latest edition of The Electoral Road Show, Chris Steyn and elections analyst Wayne Sussman talk about Ekurhuleni finally managing to pass a R71-billion budget thanks to the Democratic Alliance (DA) supporting the African National Congress (ANC). Sussman warns: “...we know the Freedom Front did far better in Ekurhuleni than the City of Johannesburg in 2021. And they could also say, look, the DA and the ANC are the exact same, there's no difference, vote for us. We will stand up to the ANC. So on the one hand, the DA is saying they're acting in the residents' interest, they're acting in service delivery' interests, but critics of the ANC and DA will paint another picture.” Sussman also analyses the results of last night by-elections in which both the ANC and the DA held wards with “the DA laying down a marker to the Freedom Front in the Northwest, and the ANC certainly making a big point with its strong showing in Bushbuckridge”. As for the spate of killings of politicians and activists over the past registration weekend, he says “it is plausible that these might be politically motivated hits”. ]]></description>

		<title>Bafana Bafana's moment of truth: Every path to the World Cup knockouts — and how likely each one is</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1689175</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1689175</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Bafana Bafana are one result away from making World Cup history — but the path to the Round of 32 is complicated. With one point from two games and South Korea standing in their way on Thursday morning (3 AM SA time), Hugo Broos' men still have multiple routes through. The question is: how likely is each one?<br />
<br />
In this video, we break down every scenario that could see South Africa advance — from the clean path (win and you're through) to the long shots that would have the whole country refreshing standings tables in the early hours. We look at what the betting markets say, what Opta's numbers tell us about Bafana's actual performance level, and what the BizNews AI Predictor — our new data-driven match analysis tool — makes of South Africa's chances against South Korea.<br />
<br />
⚽ Every qualification scenario explained<br />
📊 Opta xG data, betting odds, and deep stats unpacked<br />
🤖 The BizNews AI Predictor verdict: South Korea 56% | Draw 31% | South Africa 13%<br />
🇿🇦 Can Bafana make history?<br />
<br />
The alarm is set for 3 AM. Let's talk about it. ]]></description>

		<title>Solly Moeng: Phala Phala “protection” for CR, spate of political killings, and why I left ActionSA</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Election year 2026 is turning deadly and dirty. In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, political commentator Solly Moeng slams the Speaker of Parliament for not opposing President Cyril Ramaphosa's urgent bid to stave off his impeachment inquiry. “I for one should not be surprised if the Speaker would have been called into some meeting somewhere with the political party leadership that deployed her…to say: listen, this is the way we want this thing to go.” He also laments the spate of political killings that has seen an African National Congress (ANC) councillor and two aspirant councillors, one from the Democratic Alliance (DA) and one from BOSA gunned down in one night. “... there are of course people who also see these as opportunities for a job to climb up and to access the feeding through as it were. Either way it's a very risky position because sometimes people are even killed by their own comrades, their own people from the same political party, wanting to occupy the position.” Lastly, Moeng reveals why he left ActionSA despite being brought back to South Africa by its leader Herman Mashaba after he had been forced out of the country by the ANC. ]]></description>

		<title>Willem Els: Mkhwanazi’s Mexico warning, the R1-billion bust - but no boots on the ground</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1688327</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1688327</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Following the recent R1-billion drug bust at Beitbridge, there is renewed focus on the warning by KZN Provincial Police Commissioner General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi that South Africa could become another Mexico or El Salvador if politically- and police-connected drug cartels were not dealt with. In this interview with Chris Steyn, Willem Els of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) shares the findings of the ISS' latest drug study. “On the operational level, we're sitting with severe challenges. We've got most of the senior commissioners of police that are being arrested or suspended or so on. So we've got a power vacuum there and so on… one of the biggest challenges is the severe disinvestment in your capability in the police, intelligence-wise, as well as operational. We do not have boots on the ground. We do not have sufficient equipment and infrastructure…. ” Els details the ISS’ recommendations, and expresses optimism that with the appointment of General Mkhwanazi as Head of the Organised Crime Desk, “there might be some improvement now”. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good numbers, wrong catalyst. That's the Monday verdict on the JSE. Naspers flagged core earnings growth of up to 28% and still lost ground, sitting 37% off its 52-week high. Standard Bank reported resilient five-month earnings but moderated from a 12% first-quarter pace — sell-the-news into a stock already up 8% in a fortnight. Herriot acquired three Gauteng office blocks in a related-party deal worth R129 million. Meanwhile, Keir Starmer resigned as British prime minister two years after a landslide victory, gold held above $4,200, and US-Iran talks continued. The message: in a nervous market, strong performance is necessary — but not sufficient. ]]></description>

They also talk about more corruption being exposed in the South African Police Force (SAPS) with twenty police officers in the Western Cape charged with alleged links to the taxi industry, and Nelson Mandela Bay being ranked the 3rd most violent city in the world. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today’s BizNews Daily Edge unpacks how the US Federal Reserve’s hawkish hold is rippling through South African markets, where expensive money is forcing companies and government alike to show the strength of their balance sheets. Irakli looks at Brait’s deeply discounted R2.5bn rights offer to cut debt and support Virgin Active, BHP’s market shrug at a $2bn potash blowout, and National Treasury’s smart move to fully fund its foreign currency needs through concessional loans. In a world where cheap global money is not coming back soon, capital structure has become destiny. ]]></description>

In this wide-ranging discussion, Magnus Heystek and Anthony Ginsberg unpack the investment case behind SpaceX, Starlink, Anthropic and OpenAI, weighing extraordinary growth potential against eye-watering valuations. From AI breakthroughs and satellite dominance to comparisons with historic manias, they explore why investors are piling in – and what could determine whether Musk’s latest venture soars or stumbles. ]]></description>

		<title>DA Cabinet shake-up, ANC infighting and EFF collapse… | The Electoral Roadshow with Wayne Sussman</title>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1687106?v=1</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In the latest Electoral Road Show with Chris Steyn and analyst Supremo Wayne Sussman, he dissects the Democratic Alliance’s big Cabinet reshuffle, particularly the ministerial demotion of former party leader by the new leader Geordin Hill-Lewis, as well as the posts now allotted to the Willie Aucamp, David Maynier, Yusuf Cassim and Gauteng veteran Jack Bloom. “I think that Hill-Lewis had no choice and the DA had no choice but to move and act against Steenhuisen. Because it must have been looking at its polling and worrying about the Afrikaans voters. ...these new ministers and deputy ministers will have to show their mettle…and the DA will hope that it can arrest decline, certainly amongst Afrikaans voters, but also the voters it's been losing to the Patriotic Alliance.” Analysing the latest by-election results, Sussman describes EFF support “totally collapsing” in Buffalo City where it came close to being the second biggest party in 2024. As for Jo’burg Mayor Dada Morero first elevated and then removed as municipal intervention convenor for the province, Sussman says: “I think this says less about Dado Morero and more about the state of the ANC in Gauteng: that the infighting is vicious, that the contestation and competition is as fierce as ever, and this is not a good sign for the ANC a few months out of the Local Government Election.” ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SpaceX has become the hottest story in global investing, soaring to a valuation above $2 trillion and captivating markets worldwide. But is it a revolutionary business success or a masterclass in financial engineering? In this candid interview, Cy Jacobs argues that Elon Musk has cracked the code of modern market structure, using limited share supply, passive index demand and options trading to fuel extraordinary valuations. Jacobs explains why he remains sceptical of the fundamentals, yet still believes betting against SpaceX could be a costly mistake. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BizNews editor Alec Hogg leads with a political signal investors shouldn't miss: the DA is moving to replace John Steenhuisen as Agriculture Minister after three High Court cost orders — and his proposed successor is an actual farmer. Then Dr. Duarte da Silva's third paper on South Africa's gold lands with force: the Witwatersrand holds as much gold underground as it has ever produced, Australia spends 70 times more exploring its endowment, and SA's share of African exploration budgets has collapsed from 35% to 7%. On the JSE: Premier Group is the standout — net profit up nearly 30% while digesting the RFG acquisition. Vukile raises R2.8 billion for Italy, heavily oversubscribed. Stor-Age quietly accumulates institutional buyers. Powerfleet's integration pain is finally paying off. And Brikor heads for the exit. The close ties it together: the political story and the gold story are the same story. ]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1686743</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this Boardroom Talk, BizNews editor Alec Hogg unpacks the political and practical unravelling of John Steenhuisen's tenure as South Africa's Minister of Agriculture. From the foot-and-mouth disease crisis that exposed a fatal mismatch between parliamentary skill and executive capability, to three damning High Court cost orders, Hogg traces how one of the DA's most respected figures ended up on the wrong side of the very accountability standards his party championed. But this isn't just a post-mortem. It's also a sharp-eyed assessment of what new DA leader Jordan Hill Lewis's decisive — and graceful — cabinet reshuffle reveals about the kind of leader he intends to be. Performance over loyalty. Outcomes over comfort. Is this the beginning of something different in South African politics? ]]></description>

		<title>Solly Moeng - Cyril’s game, Steenhuisen’s scandal and the failing ANC “fat bellies”...</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1686709</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1686709</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this interview with Chris Steyn, Political Commentator Solly Moeng gives his take on the latest developments in the impeachment drama surrounding President Cyril Ramaphosa, noting: “... he is buying time for himself, definitely for other people around him whose interests would not be aided by him leaving now and a certain Paul Mashatile is immediately coming in…” Moeng calls for the recall of Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen and the removal of his Chief of Staff Jana le Roux who allegedly swore at an agri official and for sharing bemusement at farmers reaching out to the department. “...if he can’t remove her, maybe they should remove him…look it's up to the DA now to prove itself, to say to Ramaphosa, look, we are withdrawing this man…” Speaking on the 50th anniversary of the June 16 1976 youth march in Soweto, Moeng slams the government for failing the youth. Describing his return last year to Diepkloof - where he grew up, he charges: “It's worse than during Apartheid.The primary school that I used to go to has got a squatter camp inside its yard…It actually made me go on to cry…..” Lastly, he comments on the Western Cape’s outgoing Police Commissioner coming out in support of extending policing powers to the province. ]]></description>

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[In this interview with Chris Steyn, Political Commentator Solly Moeng gives his take on the latest developments in the impeachment drama surrounding President Cyril Ramaphosa, noting: “... he is buying time for himself, definitely for other people around him whose interests would not be aided by him leaving now and a certain Paul Mashatile is immediately coming in…” Moeng calls for the recall of Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen and the removal of his Chief of Staff Jana le Roux who allegedly swore at an agri official and for sharing bemusement at farmers reaching out to the department. “...if he can’t remove her, maybe they should remove him…look it's up to the DA now to prove itself, to say to Ramaphosa, look, we are withdrawing this man…” Speaking on the 50th anniversary of the June 16 1976 youth march in Soweto, Moeng slams the government for failing the youth. Describing his return last year to Diepkloof - where he grew up, he charges: “It's worse than during Apartheid.The primary school that I used to go to has got a squatter camp inside its yard…It actually made me go on to cry…..” Lastly, he comments on the Western Cape’s outgoing Police Commissioner coming out in support of extending policing powers to the province.]]></itunes:summary>

Anglo Gold Ashanti confirmed a shareholder vote on a $2 billion share buyback, sending the stock up nearly 9%. Eskom's credit rating was upgraded by Fitch — not on its own merits, but on the back of South Africa's sovereign upgrade, with its standalone profile still deep in junk territory. Matengu flagged the sale of its Blue Ridge Platinum stake for R50 million, tidying the books ahead of a bigger deal. Then the weekend rewrote the macro: a US-Iran ceasefire pushed oil down and put gold bulls on notice. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, Grant Abbott the General Secretary of the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) shares evidence collected over years for the criminal complaint lodged against Vice-Chancellor Professor Sakhela Buhlungu who was recently placed on precautionary suspension by the Council and now faces charges of gross misconduct. Allegations in the union’s criminal complaint include the appointment and promotion of individuals outside lawful recruitment processes, the circumvention of governance structures, the approval of substantial financial settlements of millions of rands and remuneration adjustments without proper justification. It also sets out how the Vice Chancellor selectively used disciplinary processes to protect his allies and targeted whistleblowers. Meanwhile, some of those who benefitted from the Vice-Chancellor’s “schemes” are now the accused in corruption and fraud cases. “The problem is that you can't position yourself as a corruption buster and then in the process of doing that create more corruption...” ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In today’s edition of the NdB Sunday Show with Chris Steyn and Lauren Evanthia, the founder of the Organic Humanity Movement, the hot topic is President Cyril Ramaposa’s urgent court bid to try and stop Parliament from conducting his impeachment inquiry. “And now the president is obviously scrambling. He knows what this means. If anything, this is almost an admission of guilt on his part…(and) how is it gonna hurt the ANC during the elections? I think that is probably at the forefront of his mind…if they want to hold on to that 45.6%, they cannot afford to have this massive scandal with the president.” Evanthia also dissects the testimony of Witness I before the Madlanga Commission. “The whole South African government for me appears to be an entire criminal enterprise.” She further looks at the biggest lack of service delivery horror stories, and gives her take on the defection journey of Neville Delport from the African National Congress (ANC) to the Democratic Alliance (DA) and on to the Patriotic Alliance (PA). Lastly, she examines the likely consequences for South Africa should Nigeria carry out its threat of retaliation over South Africa’s handling of the migrant crisis. ]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1685523</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Stef and Daneel Steinmann couldn’t buy the vintage Springbok jerseys they kept seeing around Stellenbosch in 2019, a Rugby World Cup year when green and gold were everywhere, so after roughly 100 emails they found a supplier and started their own brand, Old School SA. Six years on, Old School holds official partnerships and licences with the Springboks, Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, Manchester City and the NBA, and operates branded stores across the country. With Bafana Bafana back at the Football World Cup for the first time in 16 years, Old School is now the official supporters’ brand, and their Bafana kit has become so popular that, as Stef Steinmann puts it, “people are sleeping in their jerseys.” In an interview with BizNews, he reflects on their journey and the brother dynamic, how Daneel knocks on doors “making promises” while Stef makes sure those promises are kept, a balance that works. Daneel is already on the ground with Bafana Bafana in Mexico, where they played their first match, while Stef, delayed by a visa issue, is holding the fort in South Africa. What does he attribute their meteoric success to? Uniting people behind the teams they love, because people tend to remember who they were with during the big sporting moments more than the match itself. - Linda van Tilburg ]]></description>

The Witwatersrand Basin still holds as much gold as has ever been extracted from it. Yet exploration spend has collapsed 95% from its 2006 peak.

		<title>Wayne Sussman - Gayton’s PA continues “weakening” the DA &amp; the ANC (and all the mayoral dramas)</title>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1685129</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In the latest Electoral Road Show with Chris Steyn, Elections Analyst Wayne Sussman describes how Gayton MacKenzie’s Patriotic Alliance (PA) is continuing to march onwards and upwards “weakening” both the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the African National Congress (ANC) in the Western Cape. In the latest by-election, the PA won 53% of the vote in Malmesbury Wesbank. “This used to be the safest DA municipality in the country. And in 2024, the Patriotic Alliance burst through that wall by winning the seat off the DA.” Sussman also comments on GOOD and Rise Mzansi joining forces behind mayoral hopeful Brett Herron; the ANC’s elevation of Dada Morero to intervention convener for Gauteng’s troubled municipalities; the late President Nelson Mandela's grandson Mandla eyeing a mayoral chain in the Eastern Cape; and Buffalo City Mayor Princess Faku coming under fire for taking officials on overseas trips to China and Germany while the municipality is struggling financially. “Next week we have two Buffalo City by-elections…It'll be interesting to see whether this issue, this debacle, hurts the ANC because both of the seats are ANC seats.” ]]></description>

		<title>Jonathan Deal - Fight against “disarmament” of citizens as another top cop falls…</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1684664</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1684664</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Fears of an agenda to disarm private citizens are growing along with jaw-dropping allegations of criminal activity by top cops. In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, Jonathan Deal, the founder of Safe Citizen, warns that the public is not properly and fully informed on public safety, and takes viewers through the implications of proposed changes to firearms ownership and training regulations for ordinary citizens, as well as for the private security industry. “...for many South Africans, a lawfully-owned firearm, either in their own hands or in the hands of the security industry, is actually their mainstay of security, particularly in the absence of the ability of the State to look after them. I can't understand why a government that itself is beleaguered on so many levels in the South African Police Service would go and meddle and fiddle with things where the public at least have some measure of protection, even if they're providing it themselves.” Meanwhile, he expresses grave concern about more and more allegations of criminal activity involving top police officers emerging at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry. “Certainly, it appears that the government has lost control of this critical environment. Personally, my view is that…that our police service has become politicised. It is used as a political football.” ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A top South African cop, Major General Feroz Khan of Crime Intelligence, and a tobacco kingpin, Mohamed Sayed, plotted to “f….up well known anti-crime activist and Tax Justice SA Founder, Yusuf Abramjee. In this interview with Chris Steyn, Abramjee details a litany of shocking revelations in a 750-page bundle released by the Madlanga Commission. Abramjee vows not to be silenced. “General Khan has been subpoenaed to appear before the commission on the 1st of July. And I'm sure that he will come clean. He has to come clean because we cannot allow this lawlessness. We cannot allow this collusion. We cannot allow this intimidation to continue….You cannot be a policeman and a criminal.” Abramjee points out how revelations at the Madlanga Commission again show how rotten the criminal justice system is, but warns: “I believe it's only the tip of the iceberg. We have a major problem within the police service and also other arms of the criminal justice system. And we need to make sure that the recommendations and the suggestions coming out of the Madlanga Commission are implemented.” ]]></description>

Then the big stories: US and Iranian forces exchanged strikes near the Strait of Hormuz, Bill Gates faced Congress over his Epstein ties, and SpaceX set a fixed IPO price of $135 — with $250bn of demand for a $75bn raise.
