The 30 June anti-immigration protests were mostly a “nothing burger,” with 108 of 120 marches peaceful, though police still reported over 900 arrests and isolated looting. In Alexandra, a 21-year-old was killed during the chaos, with police opening a murder case.
Ramaphosa’s appointment of “Lady Dina” sparked backlash from ANC veterans, Cosatu, the DA and the Kathrada Foundation, while the ANC defended her. Mbeki also called for better US-SA relations as Ramaphosa headed to Paris to meet Macron after the G7 fallout.

After John Steenhuisen’s latest outburst and the DA’s handling of key issues like the foot-and-mouth crisis, I’ve decided it’s time to draw a line in the sand.
The Freedom Front Plus offers clear policies: ending race-based BEE, protecting property rights, reducing state interference, backing free-market growth, strengthening border control, restoring law and order, defending mother-tongue education, scrapping the NHI, and putting South Africa’s trade interests first.
This is not about race. It is about policy, performance, and good governance.
South Africa’s 30 June anti-immigration protests stayed mostly peaceful, with SAPS crediting coordinated policing and marshals, while government reported 361 undocumented migrants arrested and Amnesty warned against vigilantism.
Ramaphosa then reshuffled Cabinet, bringing back Dina Pule despite past ethics findings, while Steenhuisen was moved from Agriculture to Trade and Industry. The episode also covers Steenhuisen’s claims against Tony Leon’s Resolve Communications, Leon’s denial, and growing frustration with the DA.

The March and March protest in Gauteng was largely peaceful, but two incidents stood out: a car reportedly set on fire, and flat owners allegedly throwing bricks and bottles at marchers as they passed.
For once, South Africa saw a protest that did not descend into total chaos — but as I said in today’s full video, this is likely the beginning, not the end, of rising anti-foreigner sentiment.

30 June saw anti-illegal immigration marches across South Africa, with major activity in Durban, Johannesburg, Soweto, Tshwane and other Gauteng hotspots. Protesters demanded stricter immigration enforcement, while police were deployed nationwide. Most areas stayed controlled, but Johannesburg saw tensions near Kwa Mai Mai, stone-throwing, business closures and a vehicle set alight.
Repatriations also intensified, with hundreds of Malawians processed through the Joburg consulate, Lindela, Musina, Durban and Epping. The day unfolded against a wider backdrop of 80,000 formal jobs lost in Q1 2026.

On the day of the “March and March” protest, I look at both sides of South Africa’s foreigner debate: many migrants come here because failed policies have wrecked parts of the region, but porous borders, poor documentation, and cheap labour create real problems for local workers, policing, and crime prevention.
I also cover an Eastern Cape case involving an illegal Malawian worker allegedly exploited with long hours, wage deductions, poor pay, bad accommodation, threats, and dismissal during a storm. The broader point is simple: illegal status makes workers vulnerable, undercuts locals, and allows South Africans to benefit from cheap labour while complaining about the consequences.
Ramaphosa was challenged in Parliament over whether BBBEE, SOE bailouts and cadre deployment have damaged investment, growth and jobs. He dismissed the criticism as a “lie” and defended BEE by pointing to Black participation in mining.
But critics argue mining shows the opposite. Professor William Gumede has cited a 2015 Chamber of Mines report which allegedly found that a small connected group captured much of the value from mining BEE deals.
The script links this to the wider ANC pattern: policies are sold as empowerment and service delivery, but too often end in elite enrichment, inflated contracts and weak accountability.

The DA says it will not protect Cyril Ramaphosa over Phala Phala, even if the fallout puts pressure on the Government of National Unity. Gordon Hill-Lewis says accountability must come before political convenience.
The episode also covers a major textbook tender dispute in Basic Education, after an internal audit raised concerns over a Grades 1–3 procurement process linked to Lighthouse Publishing and reportedly worth around R1.6 billion.
Finally, it looks at the DA’s push to change BEE ownership rules that could affect companies like Starlink, and the health minister’s controversial comments about judges hearing the NHI court challenges. Watch the full video here: youtu.be/jEPI-i8eCNY
The episode links South Africa’s economic pressure to policy uncertainty, especially Busi Mavuso’s warning that new BBBEE procurement rules could hurt investor confidence, disrupt supply chains, raise costs, and face legal challenges.
It then covers unemployment rising to 32.7%, expanded unemployment hitting 43.7%, and DA claims that Nelson Mandela Bay hiring rules disadvantage coloured, white and Indian applicants.
Other stories include the Ekapa diamond mine sale, a UAE rail investment plan, warnings over US debt, and Ramaphosa refusing to resign after the Phala Phala ruling.

The episode covers the Constitutional Court reviving Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala impeachment process, ANC emergency talks, opposition no-confidence motions, and new claims that at least R15 million may have been stolen from the farm.
It also looks at wider failures in state security, including military thefts, the Army Foundation scandal, and senior police arrests.
Finally, it covers ANC-linked protest violence, BBBEE legal battles, Zimbabwe returning seized farms, and Ramaphosa’s call for colonial reparations.

The president speaks of stricter gun control when his government’s own commissioned research strongly recommends against it.
Does president Ramaphosa want to leave South Africans defenceless against violent criminals, many who are armed by the state?
I don't often agree with @Julius_S_Malema's party - but on this one he is right.
The President of the ANC is a Billionaire - ANC Staff Salaries are exproximately R20million.
Are you telling me the President of the ANC can't take R20million from his bank and Finance the salaries of his staff members?
This is the same ANC that we trust to take this Country forward? Ayikho lento 😭😭🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙌🏾🙌🏾
