RICHARD CALLAND | Spare a thought for the hands and minds behind Operation Vulindlela (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thursday. A call from a senior adviser in government wrestling with the perpetual conundrum of how to respond to the vicissitudes of the Trump administration. I’m on a London bus, but do my best to help. Chewing over the options ― which range from “screw you” defiance on the basis that “that’s the only language they understand”, to forensically precise evidence and reasoning at the other end of the spectrum ― I recall an earlier moment in my consulting career. Asked by a major mining company to
RICHARD CALLAND | Fragmented politics redraws path to power in SA (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Less can be more. But it depends. Twenty-eight percent sounds like an electoral disappointment, perhaps even a defeat, but in Sweden it was enough to make the Social Democrats the largest party in the September 13 election — and put its leader, Magdalena Andersson, in the frame to become prime minister. In Europe the rise of the AFD in Germany casts a long shadow. No far-right party has won power in any part of the German governmental system since the end of World War 2. But three weeks ago the
RICHARD CALLAND | Brics summit shows rare consensus among diverse members (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The EU member states have had their arguments over the years, some of them ferocious, but never has one member bombed another.

Read excerpt
Wednesday. The Western Cape High Court. Veteran advocate Wim Trengove is on his feet to open the president’s application to set aside the section 89 panel report. He takes the court through the scheme designed by parliament to handle impeachment cases. The first stage is the parliamentary motion, tabled in this case by a small party called ATM in mid-2022, a couple of months after it came to light that Cyril Ramaphosa had fallen victim to a burglary at his farm, Phala Phala, in February 2020, in
RICHARD CALLAND | Middle powers face tough choices in shifting global order (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The world has lurched rapidly from the post-World War 2 bipolarity of the Cold War to a brief and hubris-filled period of American unipolar hegemony after the Berlin Wall fell in 1990, to the new so-called multipolar world. We have been here before ― when France, Britain, Austria-Hungary, Prussia and the Ottoman Empire jostled for dominance throughout the 19th century. But it was too long ago for anyone to remember and apply the lessons, and apparently the history books are beyond the reach of m
