  • The NdB Sunday Show - Jonathan Deal: The fall of Malema’s “Winnie” Johnson - and an Arab Spring brewing…
    2026/08/02
    In this edition of the NdB Sunday Show, Chris Steyn and Jonathan Deal, the founder of Safe Citizen, talk about the fall of Investigations Directorate Against Organised Crime (IDAC) Chief Andrea Johnson - whom Economic Freedom (EFF) Fighter CIC Julius Malema likened to the late Winnie Mandela - and who was tipped to be a future National Director of Public Prosecutions; as well as the fall of three other tipped for the highest law enforcement and political control positions in South Africa: former Police Minister Senzo Mchunu as a possible future African National Congress (ANC) President; suspended General Shadrack Sibiya as possibly the next National Police Commissioner, and suspended General Feroz Khan with his eye on the top job at Crime Intelligence (CI). Deal hails the Madlanga Commissioners who ask questions “in a way that actually leads deceitful people into their own traps”. Meanwhile, Deal warns that township economies have been hard hit by the flight of foreigners at a time when the hungriest section of the population is awash with illegal guns. “...we are sitting with an enormous number of unemployed young men with no money, no job, and literally no hope for the future. And it could still take just one spark to see the equivalent of an Arab Spring in this country.” He describes just how vulnerable South Africans have become while the “police itself, on a national and often a provincial level, is powerless and directionless”.

  • Dr Lennit Max: Non-racial, merit-based appointments of four new police commissioners
    2026/08/03
    In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, former Western Cape Provincial Police Commissioner, Dr. Lennit Max hails the appointments of four new provincial commissioners. “This time around I am very pleased that the Acting National Commissioner in her wisdom decided that there's merit among people of colour.” He points out that all four appear seasoned as well. “Lieutenant General Sizakhele Dyanti in the Western Cape, got 34 years of service. Lieutenant General Arthur Adams, Northwest, 34 years of service as well. Lieutenant General Jan Scheepers, Limpopo, 38 years of service. And Lieutenant General Apapia Modise of Mpumalanga, 37 years of service. They are not people who are parachuted into those ranks.” As for the latest "heartbreaking "testimony at the Madlanga Commission, Dr Max says it is “damaging not only for Andrea Johnson, but to IDAC as a whole, the NPA, but most importantly, to government because government put these systems in place to ensure that they address the corruption in this country and we as citizens got hope that government is doing the right thing to put these systems in place and also to appoint people they believe got the necessary skill and commitment to serve our country without fear or favour. And it is totally unacceptable, and I think there must be consequences to that effect.” Lastly, Dr Max shares highlights from his autobiography which is being launched this month: “A Life That Refused to Bow”.

  • BizNews Edge: SA is sitting on a defence asset it doesn't know it has; Malema; Tshwane and more
    2026/08/04
    Thirteen votes vanish, a city manager gets his job back, and Tshwane's bondholders are left wondering what happens to every tender signed while he was out. Kallie Kriel tells Chris Steyn that AfriForum is coming for Julius Malema again, and this time the government's in the crosshairs too. Then Ivor Ichikowitz, the famously private founder of Paramount, breaks his silence on the defence empire he built out of South Africa, and on a fresh survey showing Africa's youth quietly picking sides between Washington and Beijing. Plus: Nedbank's numbers hide a bigger story, the JSE reports on itself, Old Mutual's frozen Zimbabwe shares get a lifeline, and Palantir hands Wall Street another reason to pay attention.

    2026/08/04
    Another BizNews tribe member has suffered a huge online trading platform loss. In this interview with Chris Steyn, Tommy Salem describes how he ended up on the FXSI platform after clicking on a clip showing AfriForum’s Kallie Kriel before losing R450 000 in two months. It was money Tommy could ill afford to lose: “I had a stroke. So I was at home for a year and I was busy with the therapy and that didn't work out and the company then decided to put me on permanent incapacity leave. ..That was money I received from my insurance and my incapacity benefit…it's painful to lose so much money…” In its response to BizNews, FXSI stated: “The complaint was received on 28 July 2026, acknowledged, and remains under formal investigation…As the matter is ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment publicly on the allegations or speculate on the outcome.”
