    WAW POLITRICKS | RAMAPHOSA ON MIGRATION; AFRIKA RESPONDS; MORERO IN PARLY; FIFA WORLD CUP

    President Ramaphosa addresses the nation on illegal immigration and admits the system has been failing for years — while a 30 June deadline looms and the streets get louder. African states respond with repatriation flights and retaliation threats: Nigeria, Ghana, Mozambique and more pull their citizens out of South Africa as the world watches. Parliament, Joburg Mayor Dada Morero faces a marathon SCOPA grilling over write-offs, water losses and a city on the edge — with November's elections around the corner. The Section 89 impeachment process stalls as MPs deadlock over what "fit and proper" even means. Infantino hands Trump a FIFA Peace Prize while African fans face travel bans to the World Cup — and CAF's Motsepe has lost his voice. Plus: the USA and Iran trade strikes across the Gulf as the tournament kicks off in the same America. Botsang pulls no punches. New episodes every week.

    DR. JOHN KANI | FROM SIZWE BANZI TO BLACK PANTHER. THEATRE, STRUGGLE & HOLLYWOOD.

    DJ Fresh talks to comedians, sports stars, celebrities, know-it-alls and human beings about what went down this week! Dr Bonisile John Kani, OIS, OBE — actor, author, director, playwright, and a living pillar of South African theatre. From co-creating Sizwe Banzi Is Dead and The Island with Athol Fugard and Winston Ntshona, to winning a Tony on Broadway, to commanding global screens as King T'Chaka in Black Panther and the voice of Rafiki in The Lion King — Bra John's story is the story of South African storytelling itself. Art under apartheid, the price of defiance, the Market Theatre years, Nothing but the Truth, and what it means to carry a nation's memory on stage. This is one for the archives. Pull up a chair. AUDIO version available on Spotify and all other platforms.

    WAW POLITRICKS | SECTION 89 CHAIR; ANC MAYOR CRISIS; MADLANGA FUNDING; AARTO; BAFANA VISAS

    Phala Phala is back from the dead. Four years after Parliament voted the Section 89 report into the ground, the Constitutional Court forced a rematch — and now Rise Mzansi's Makashule Gana chairs the 31-member committee deciding whether President Ramaphosa has a case to answer. Meanwhile, the ANC is vetting mayors with one hand and recycling recalled ones with the other, while Fikile Mbalula gives regional secretaries 30 days to choose between their party posts and their municipal payslips. Matthews Phosa says the party "lost the intellectuals" — we ask what's left. The Madlanga Commission is running out of money and the Presidency says no more extensions — but civilians and business are offering to fund it themselves. Noble civic duty or a dangerous precedent? We weigh the pros and cons. Plus: AARTO finally rolls out nationally from 1 July — demerit points, licence suspensions, and a Western Cape that wants no part of it. And Bafana Bafana land in Mexico for the World Cup without their assistant coach and team doctor after a visa fiasco SAFA still can't explain. DJ Fresh and Botsang Modimowame Moiloa break it all down. No fear, no favour, no filter. Thank you for watching, please subscribe to support the channel.

    WAW POLITRICKS | BOTSANG & ACTION SA; EU MIGRATION PACT; MARCH & MARCH; GHANA REPATRIATIONS

    This week on Politricks with Botsang, the law goes freelance. Botsang breaks down the week South Africa outsourced enforcement to the streets, and the borders . The parties suddenly remember you exist as the 4 November local elections heat up. The March and March movement hands government a 30 June ultimatum — and the JCPS cluster shows up late. Ghana airlifts its citizens home and drags us to the African Union. The ANC misses its own deadline to staff the Phala Phala impeachment committee while the MK chief whip on that very committee is arrested for fraud. The Netherlands passes the toughest asylum law in 25 years — doing the one thing we can't. New episode out now. Thank you for watching, please subscribe to support the channel.

    WAW POLITRICKS | THATO MOLOSANKWE; BE AN ANC MAYOR; 30 JUNE ULTIMATUM; COALITIONS BILL; EU AID

    Politricks with Botsang this week: the ANC finally opens its mayoral candidate process to the public — but is Loyiso Masuku already chosen? ActionSA is promising MMCs picked on skill, not slate — could competency politics actually land? Minister Hlabisa swears the Coalitions Bill will be law by November 4 — we ask if it'll stop Joburg becoming Joburg again. The EU has officially exited the aid era — what's Plan B for SA when Washington has already pulled the plug? And March and March has set a 30 June ultimatum for undocumented foreign nationals — we unpack what it actually means, who's politically circling it, and the diplomatic fallout from Abuja to Accra. Strap in. Thank you for watching, please subscribe to support the channel.
