Tonight, Johannesburg’s political battlefield takes another dramatic turn. RISE Mzansi has officially
announced political analyst and public policy expert Lukhona Mnguni as its mayoral candidate for the City of Johannesburg. Known for holding politicians accountable from the outside, Mnguni now wants to step directly into the arena — promising ethical leadership, competent governance and a reset for a city battered by corruption scandals, collapsing infrastructure, water shortages, electricity failures and coalition chaos. But can an analyst successfully transition into executive leadership? And does Johannesburg still believe any politician can truly rescue South Africa’s economic hub?

Tonight, we sit down with one of the Democratic Alliance’s most outspoken and fast-rising young
voices in Parliament — Karabo Khakhau. Fearless, confrontational, and often controversial, Khakhau has become one of the loudest figures in the fight against alleged corruption inside South Africa’s SETA system — a battle that has placed her directly in the political spotlight. Over the past year, she has pushed aggressively for accountability around Sector Education and Training Authorities, accusing political elites of turning institutions meant to empower young South Africans into what she calls “cash cows for cadres.”

Tonight, as millions across the continent marked Africa Day — a day meant to celebrate unity, liberation, solidarity and the dream of Pan-Africanism — South Africa once again finds itself confronting uncomfortable questions about who belongs, who is welcome, and whether the
ideals of African unity still hold meaning in modern Africa.

AFTER 8 IS AFTER 8: AFRICA DAY SPECIAL — IS  XENOPHOBIA UN-AFRICAN?

Earlier today, SANParks confirmed a major escalation in security operations within the Kruger National Park following the killing of two international tourists in the Pafuri Section. The couple’s bodies were discovered on Friday after they failed to return to their accommodation as scheduled, triggering a large-scale search operation that ended in tragedy. SANParks says it is now deploying additional rangers and strengthening surveillance and early warning systems across the park in response to the incident. Limpopo police have opened two cases of murder and hijacking, as investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding the couple’s death. Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Willie Aucamp has extended his condolences to the grieving family, as authorities move to reassure both local and international visitors about safety in one of the country’s most visited tourism destinations.
