    Prof Kishore Mahbubani speaks out: Iran-US war, China, Trump, India, BRICS

    Global geopolitics is shifting — and fast. In this episode of SMWX, renowned diplomat and global thinker Prof Kishore Mahbubani breaks down the biggest forces shaping the world today — from US–China relations to the Middle East conflict, BRICS, and South Africa’s place in a changing global order. We unpack why the delayed meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping matters, how the global economy has remained resilient despite rising tariffs, and why the current Middle East war could be a strategic advantage for China.

    ANC falls further in election polls?

    South Africa is heading into another crucial round of local government elections — but the political landscape has fundamentally changed. In this episode of SMWX, we break down the latest polling from the Social Research Foundation and Ipsos to understand where each major party stands right now — nationally and in key metros like Johannesburg, Tshwane, Ekurhuleni and eThekwini. The numbers tell a clear story: no party is anywhere near outright control in the country’s major cities. Instead, South Africa is entering a deeper phase of coalition politics — with more parties, more fragmentation, and more uncertainty than ever before. We unpack: Where the African National Congress actually sits today — and whether this is now its ceiling The Democratic Alliance’s position in metros and why it still struggles to break through The rise of the MK Party and how it is reshaping the political map What’s happening to the Economic Freedom Fighters vote Why parties like ActionSA, Inkatha Freedom Party and Patriotic Alliance could decide who governs We also revisit the 2021 results in key metros to show how coalition politics has evolved — and why instability may actually increase after the next election, not decrease. The big question is no longer “who will win?” — but rather: who can actually form a stable government?

    Malema vs Kunene: high-stakes legal fight

    Julius Malema and Kenny Kunene are now locked in a high-stakes defamation battle — and the implications could be massive for South African politics. What started as claims on Podcast & Chill has now escalated into court proceedings, with serious allegations, sworn affidavits, and explosive testimony entering the public domain. From claims about visits to a controversial farm, to allegations of cash exchanges, this case intersects directly with the “Big Five cartel” narrative, the Madlanga Commission, and broader questions about power, politics, and influence in South Africa.
