Die gesprek begin met die Grondwetlike Hof-uitspraak wat verband hou met die parlement se hantering van die Phala Phala-saak. Elsa skets die konteks rondom die berigte oor $580,000 wat van president Cyril Ramaphosa se plaas in Limpopo gesteel is, terwyl Chris verduidelik hoekom die skandaal verder strek as reputasie. Dit tref Ramaphosa se hervormingsagenda, die ANC, die Regering van Nasionale Eenheid en Suid-Afrika se ekonomiese vertroue op ’n sensitiewe punt.

Brown Mogotsi’s (https://www.enca.com/news-top-stories/mogotsi-claims-chaskalson-wanted-him-throw-suleiman-carrim-under-bus) recusal application has been dismissed by the Madlanga Commission.
The alleged political fixer has accused evidence leader Matthew Chaskalson of bias, alleging he wanted him to “throw North West businessman Suleiman Carrim under the bus”.
But evidence before the commission suggests Mogotsi himself initiated contact with Chaskalson, offering to provide information linked to Carrim.
Chaskalson, in response, denies the allegations and says it was Mogotsi who approached him first with the offer of information.

- Before streaming algorithms and TikTok trends, South African house music moved differently. Songs travelled through burned CDs, taxis, clubs, DJs, and word-of-mouth communities. That world helped shape Liquid Deep into one of the country’s defining electronic music acts.
In this episode of Both Sides, Randall Abrahams sits down with the duo to unpack the real story behind the music, the pressure of sudden fame, and the emotional role sound continues to play in South African life.
The conversation moves through the origins of the group, the underground deep house scene that influenced their sound, and the surprising story behind Fairy Tale, a song the duo initially believed did not belong in their sets because it sounded too melodic and too commercial.
They also reflect on stepping away from the spotlight after years of success, the danger of creative burnout, and why genres become meaningless once music belongs to listeners.

The conversation explores why more than 11 million registered voters stayed home during the 2024 elections and what that says about the relationship between citizens and the political system meant to represent them.
Using voter behaviour research, turnout data, and democratic participation trends, Dr Mchunu explains how unemployment, inequality, corruption fatigue, and service delivery failures are driving civic withdrawal across the country.
