The pros and the cons of South Africa’s new Government of National Unity (GNU) are examined in this interview with Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM). One of his concerns is that there are people in the African National Congress (ANC) that are “actually not on board and that they're going to do everything that they can….to derail” this GNU, which would be the “worst thing that this Republic can ever see in its future”. He also warns that the use of State Security and intelligence apparatus to spy on each other in the GNU could lead to its possible demise. As for the likelihood of a revolution bubbling in KZN where former President Jacob Zuma’s MK party is being left out in the cold, De Beer says: “It seems that the building block, the revolutionary volcano, the stirring of the emotion of inequality within instability in this country, always comes from the KZN faction. If I was in the defense structure, if I was in the policing structure, and if I was in the State Security cluster, you've got to squash this…Because a country cannot be kept ransom by the precipice of people's ideology.” De Beer also lists the critical issues that the GNU has to sort out in its first 100 days of governance.

Political parties rely on funding from donors to cover their costs and expand their operations. We South Africans usually know very little about who is paying our politicians' bills. Let's find out what the law says about disclosing private funding of political parties, what we do know about who is giving which party money, and which parties are trying to keep their donors' identities a secret.

South Africa's new government has been sworn in and the country's first coalition cabinet since the end of apartheid 30 years ago.

President Cyril Ramaphosa's African National Congress has been forced to govern with five rival parties, after failing to achieve an outright majority in May's elections. The centrist Democratic Alliance, led by white South Africans, had been the main opposition party and will now run six ministries.

ADDENDUM: Since the publication of SA's Easy Election guide, the resource we relied on for the political spectrum illustration, the Rise Mzansi team has clarified their party ideology is centre left, not centre right. However, some analysts view the party's manifesto as one which "promises social democracy but delivers neoliberalism." Read more here: https://mg.co.za/thought-leade....r/opinion/2024-04-28

There is rising tension in South Africa over illegal migration - and it's dominating the political agenda in the run up to next month's general election.

The government claims it's tightening security on its borders.

But the BBC visited the country's busiest crossing post and witnessed migrants crossing unchallenged.

It's a way in for those seeking a better life - but an easy target, too, for criminal gangs.

How centuries of division built one of the most unequal countries on earth.

For decades, South Africa was under apartheid: a series of laws that divided people by race. Then, in the 1990s, those laws were dismantled. But many of the barriers they created continue to divide South Africans by skin color - which in turn determines their quality of life, access to jobs, and wealth. Racial division was built into the fabric of cities throughout South Africa, and it still hasn't been uprooted.

That's partly because, while apartheid was the culmination of South Africa's racial divisions, it wasn't the beginning of them. That story starts closer to the 1800s, when the British built a network of railroads that transformed the region's economy into one that excluded most Black people -- and then made that exclusion the law.
