After narrowly averting an implosion of South Africa’s Government of National Unity over the president’s signing of the EWC Act, another major issue looms with the ANC’s demand SOE Transnet gets an Eskom-type bailout. DA spokesman on finance Mark Burke explains why this is “inconceivable”. If so, a crisis looms for next month’s National Budget, which needs the DA’s support to be enacted. Burke spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

1 Remembering Ian Player, the 'bare-back cowboy' who saved the southern white rhino – Paul Gardiner 28:34
Dr Ian Player was a globally recognised wildlife pioneer credited with saving the Southern African white rhino. Often riding bareback, he pioneered techniques to dart and immobilise rhinos, helping their numbers recover from just 437 individuals in the 1950s. In a fireside chat, eco-conservationist Paul Gardiner pays tribute to Player's legendary work, sharing never-before-seen footage and an interview where Player describes how he helped to figure out how to dart and immobilise rhinos who often woke up too quickly after an antidote. The discussion also includes an interview with golf legend Gary Player, Ian's brother, who was inspired by his sibling's determination. Gardiner reveals Player conceived the Dusi canoe marathon while in Italy during the Second World War, an event he won twice. Gardiner credits Ian Player as an inspiration for the Shamwari Game Reserve and Gardiner's own ecotourism work, including bringing a Vietnamese pop star to South Africa to raise rhino poaching awareness.…

1 Neil de Beer: The State v/s AfriForum, Cyril’s successors line up - and SA’s “atomic” relationship with Iran 50:03
In the latest edition of the Sunday Show, United Independent Movement (UIM) President Neil de Beer warns that many people could still face arrest in terms of the The General Intelligence Laws Amendment Bill of 2023 as it covers any person or institution that engages in activities that are defined as a threat to the national security of South Africa. He advises AfriForum Head Kallie Kriel to study the bill, and he urges some well-known Afrikaners - who have been very vocal on South Africa - to do their research and ensure what they are saying and doing is lawful and factual and can stand up in court. He further warns people who take the State head-on not to be naive and think they are not on the watchlist of intelligence services. Meanwhile, De Beer tears into President Cyril Ramaphosa for his sudden awakening to the decay in Johannesburg - and looks at his possible successors as African National Congress (ANC) President: from billionaire Patrice Motsepe to Police Minister Senzo Mchunu. He also has a go at another presidential hopeful ANC SG Fikile Mbalula who is facing the wrath of some old stalwarts - aligned to Ramaphosa or another candidate - for wanting to put them through a disciplinary process that could destroy their credibility. As for South Africa’s controversial foreign policy stances, De Beer speculates on the possible reasons for ANC officials “continually meeting” with Iran.…
Every 20 hours, a rhino is poached in South Africa for its horn, with 35 rhinos lost in the Kruger National Park since the beginning of the year. The fight to protect these majestic animals is increasingly difficult, as rhino horn commands prices higher than gold, platinum, diamonds, and cocaine, according to Professor James Larkin from the University of the Witwatersrand. In a groundbreaking effort, Professor Larkin and his team are combating rhino poaching by implanting harmless radioactive isotopes in rhino horns. This innovative approach leverages humanity's aversion to radioactive materials, effectively "piggybacking" on existing detection systems at international borders. The technology rollout is set to begin in July, with inquiries already coming in from Botswana. While Professor Larkin is cautious about calling it a "silver bullet," he sees it as a powerful new tool for anti-poaching rangers.…

The Trump administration is investigation the allegations that African National Congress (ANC) leaders were bribed to take Israel to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for “genocide”. That was confirmed in this interview with BizNews by Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, founder and president of Shurad HaDin Israel Law Centre that led a group of 160 lawyers in calling on the American authorities to conduct such a probe. Although it did not get a response from the Biden administration, there has been action from the Trump administration. “I’m in touch with attorneys in South Africa who are in touch with the US administration and according to their view there is an investigation going on in the United States administration.” She says they are demanding that the US use the Magnitsky Act to sanction South African officials if it is found that they were involved with corruption or receiving a bribe for going after Israel in the ICJ. “South Africa has done something very severe by buying, by buying its getting out of debt in return to destroy Israel.” In a personal message to the South African government, Darshan-Leitner says: “Get off our back. Just stay away from Israel.” And she warns: “Hamas will not end with Israel. Hamas is going to the West. And South Africa in this way or another has some roots in the West, so it should be careful as well.”…
As the South African budget looms, DA finance spokesperson Mark Burke lays out the party’s firm stance—no new taxes and a radical plan to slash R30 billion in wasteful spending. But with the ANC’s historical resistance to spending cuts, will these proposals see the light of day?
The visit to the US by four Afrikaner leaders who met with senior members of the Trump Administration evoked mixed reactions at home - including MK’s belief they should be charged with treason. Opportunists have also used it to create a new wave of misinformation designed to stir up antagonism. BizNews editor Alec Hogg interviewed the Head of the Solidarity Institute, Connie Mulder, to establish the facts. Included in the discussion is Mulder answering a list of what the social media maven Penuel Mlotshwa published as his understanding of what the Afrikaners hope to achieve. His answers will surprise many.…

1 By-election trends: Good news for Gayton; bad news for JZ, Julius; the DA’s “rocky road"; the ANC’s big Gauteng worry 28:41
In this interview with BizNews, Elections Analyst Wayne Sussman gives BizNews viewers an overview and in-depth analysis of the performances of main political parties in municipal by-elections since last year's national election. Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie’s Patriotic Alliance (PA) emerges as “probably the most consistently improving party”; the Democratic Alliance (DA) has had a rocky road”; the African National Congress (ANC) has recovered “some support…mainly at the expense” of former President Jacob Zuma’s MKP which has suffered some “staggering drops”; the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) was “one of the most consistently improving” parties until it “ran into some potholes” towards the end of 2024, but recently won a seat off the ANC - and could be poised to do well in 2026; and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has “typically declined”, but recovered some support in a raft of by-elections in the mining belt of Thabazimbi in Limpopo.…

1 BN Briefing: How BEE laws are ruining SA; GNU and foreign policy; Trump’s first major speech 25:24
In this episode of update from BizNews, Gabriel Crouse of the IRR picks up on the World Bank’s advice on how SA can end 17 years of economic stagnation - address its R150bn a year elite-enriching BEE laws. Also, in the wake of disastrous international policies, GNU members are weighing how to fix the mess; Donald Trump’s first major speech; Zelensky backs down; and two sides of the future for stock market - productivity-driven boom or mean-reverting 50% Crash?…
Former President Jacob Zuma's MK party knows that they will not succeed with treason charges laid against Afrikaner lobby groups, but did so to “let the flames of racial divides in this country burn higher”. So says Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Willie Aucamp who is also the national spokesperson for the party. In this interview, he speaks about the need for the DA to persuade the African National Congress (ANC) to change the country’s foreign policy. “…if they want this Government of National Unity to work, they must come into this GNU boots and all and allow their partners to also have their say, our say in things like foreign policy. If you look at clause 19 of the Statement of Intent, it clearly talks about sufficient consensus on all issues. And you cannot isolate foreign affairs and international relations and say sufficient consensus, but not on this…It's not how it's going to work - and the Democratic Alliance will definitely not accept that…from here onwards the ANC will require us and we made it clear to them that they must come with policies that will be to the benefit of this country and its people; otherwise we will not support them.…
Economic issues only tend to grab attention when their consequences have a direct impact on our pockets. South Africans are in one of those rare moments right now after the ANC was blocked from jacking up VAT from 15% to 17% to fund an increase for public sector employees who already receive the highest share of tax in the world. So a World Bank report quantifying the economic cost of SA’s massive ‘BEE premium’ put this elite-benefitting policy into the spotlight in a country where Black unemployment has risen from 6m to 11m since 2007. In this fascinating interview, Gabriel Crouse a fellow at the prestigious Institute of Race Relations, estimates that ending BEE would enable VAT to actually be cut to 11.5%. Notably, the BEE Scam was also highlighted by the Zondo Commission. Crouse spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.…

1 FMF’s Van Staden: Bravo Afriforum (and Pres Trump); maybe ANC will now repeal 142 racist laws 25:57
Despite disastrous mismanagement, a halo effect exists around the ANC in much of the global community. This celebration of their own role in supporting South Africa’s transition to democracy has led to excessive indulgence of the ANC’s subsequent failings. But the new sheriff in Washington is taking a different approach, with SA’s raft of race-based laws now in President Donald Trump’s crosshairs. Martin van Staden, who edits the IRR’s Race Law Index, says this is long overdue as the ANC had given short shrift to any criticism of racist laws - identical to the National Party’s response during the Apartheid era. He spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.…
