African countries have called for the formation of a joint working committee with the G7, central banks and civil society to stop large sums of money being lost by the continent each year to illicit capital outflows.

It is high time African countries are engaged as equal partners and not 'unequal cousins'. This was the emphatic plea made by President Cyril Ramaphosa to the global community.

With the expulsion of Congress of the People (Cope) deputy president Willie Madisha and elections secretary Mzwandile Hleko finalised, national spokesperson Dennis Bloem appears next in line to exit the party.

Whether Ace Magashule joins the EFF or forms his political party, his main aim will be winning over a large chunk of ANC supporters during next year’s national elections.

Despite Chief Justice Raymond Zondo's bemoaning a lack of implementation of state capture recommendations, the Office of the Presidency believes some progress has been made.

Deputy President Paul Mashatile finally broke his silence following a report by News24 that he was a beneficiary of persons who benefitted from state capture.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has described the late Maggie Mathabatha, Limpopo Premier Stanley Mathabatha's wife, as a community-focused leader who dedicated her life to the development of the people of Limpopo.

Amid what he described as geopolitical and economic shifts due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which includes the threat of potential sanctions for perceived support of Russia, President Cyril Ramaphosa has encouraged African countries to look internally for development prospects.

While acting Public Protector Kholeka Gcaleka has cleared President Cyril Ramaphosa of wrongdoing, his protection services head Wally Rhoode has been found to have conducted an unsanctioned investigation following the burglary at Phala Phala.

A reliance on hearsay and inaccurate evidence by the complainants coupled by the head of the presidential protection services stating the president did not order an investigation after the burglary at his farm led to Cyril Ramaphosa being cleared by the acting Public Protector.
