Pretoria shifts from appeasement to resistance after unrelenting US pressure (opens the original)
Read excerpt
South Africa faces escalating tensions with the Trump administration, which has increasingly targeted the country with tariffs, diplomatic pressure and accusations over its domestic policies. Pretoria is now moving away from accommodation towards a firmer diplomatic stance, despite its weaker economic and geopolitical position. Spare a thought for diplomats, government officials and political leaders from around the world who have to reckon with the bedlam that is American foreign policy. Wrestl
Death penalty: Letâs not aspire to being a bloodthirsty, barbaric nation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As ANC leaders revive calls to restore the death penalty, evidence shows capital punishment neither deters crime nor protects survivors from wrongful convictions. âANC Lives. ANC Leadsâ goes the slogan, much loved by party members. It is emblazoned on T-shirts, posters, pamphlets and paraphernalia distributed at conferences. This was certainly true once upon a time, that bygone era when the party actually had something to offer the people. What came out of the mouths of the leaders was consi
Little wonders: When big parties fail us, SA has smaller options â and itâs not a wasted vote (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The answers to our challenges may not lie in the big parties, so we should allow voters to explore options, no matter the size.

Read excerpt
Heading into the November municipal elections, the South African Communist Partyâs biggest drawback is likely to be its own ideological purism. It does not need to be ashamed of or hide its Marxist-Leninist leanings but it has to recognise that electability is the name of the game in politics. While communists (and those who preferred to define themselves as socialists) were in deep depression as the Soviet Union and its satellite states collapsed like dominoes, South Africaâs Joe Slovo step
Biko inquest delay deepens drift towards collective amnesia about apartheid horrors (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We live in an angry nation that has not fully come to terms with the trauma of our past. The governors of our land are not aiding the healing by trying to sweep the past under the carpet. Just under three weeks before the 49th anniversary of the murder of Black Consciousness leader Steve Biko, an indignity was visited on his memory. At the start of the inquest into the death of Biko at the hands of the security police, the family had to haggle with the state for funding for representation. The r
