I am shocked that Aki and Joanne are leaving 702 I have been a listener as long as the station has been on air and I now listen from the U.K. I don't think the station manager knows what she's doing

The ANC is a mess. They take a failing mayor (by their own low standards), accused of corruption and think that she will succeed scandal free in a provincial legislature? They will keep riding every controversy as long as the opposition remains weak, rudderless and fractured.

South Africa's former President Zuma has declared his support for Russia's President Putin in the ongoing war against Ukraine. He called him a "man of peace". He said his actions were prompted by NATO's expansion.

I’ve known Iain Dale for over 20 years. The most impressive thing about him is his willingness to follow more than one star and not ‘stay in his lane’. He makes his own lanes which is more than many can say. Bravo, Iain! 👏

Despite their clashing political ideologies, Donald Trump and Jacob Zuma are scarily similar in how they attack the rule of law and the integrity of the electoral system – as well as their democracy-endangering willingness to threaten violence. news24.com/news24/opinion…

The ANC government has entirely collapsed passenger rail, policing and the port in Cape Town, and they refuse to devolve any of those mandates to the competent local and/or provincial governments. You have to ask why.

One of the reasons Twitter is not a helpful gauge of actual public sentiment, is that it tends to filter for extremism - the loudest, most fundamental personalities dominate. In truth, South Africans are mostly conservative, and want stability, not radicalism.

Every few minutes in Southport today I’ve seen members of the local community coming out to give police officers sandwiches, drinks and sweets. Even buckets of water for the police horses. Clear the community here welcome their presence and appreciate their work.

Eleven of Keir Starmer's Cabinet claimed taxpayer-funded expenses to pay for their energy bills in their second homes - with expenses rising by 75% over three years. And meanwhile, the Labour government stopped millions of pensioners from receiving their winter fuel allowance.
