New twist in Miss SA contestant’s citizenship saga

American Palestinian journalist and senior analyst Sam Husseini, who is currently in Cape Town, speaks to Lester Kiewit about the key themes that emerged during the Palestine Solidarity Campaign discussion. Husseini shares insights on press freedom, international law, and the global response to the ongoing situation in Palestine. He reflects on his work advocating for accountability, including South Africa’s invocation of the Genocide Convention at the International Court of Justice, and discusses the challenges journalists face in holding powerful actors to account. Husseini also talks about his broader political and advocacy work, including VotePact.org and PapersProject.com, and the role of independent media in shaping public understanding.

Adam Gilchrist shares these stories with Lester Kiewit as they travel the globe in news. The round-up begins in Florida where U.S. Secret Service agents fatally shot an armed intruder who breached the secure perimeter of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, prompting questions about security and political violence. The focus then shifts north to Greenland, where officials have politely rebuffed President Trump’s offer of a U.S. hospital ship, insisting their healthcare system is sufficient. Finally, there’s a heartening conservation milestone in the Galápagos as giant tortoises return to Floreana Island after nearly two centuries, a key step in restoring the island’s unique biodiversity.

A World View from London: Security, diplomacy and conservation triumphs

The government tax on spirits is expected to breach the R100 mark per 750ml bottle when Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana delivers his Budget Speech for 2026. As a result, the tax imposed will in many cases be the biggest component of the cost to the consumer, ranging between 55-65% of the retail selling price of mainstream spirits products. Diageo South Africa is warning that this may drive consumers towards the tax-evading illicit alcohol market. Lester Kiewit speaks to Sibani Mngadi, Corporate Relations Director at Diageo South Africa.
