As 2025 draws to a close, we reflect on the key political events that defined South Africa. The Government of National Unity endured amid intense negotiations and disputes over budget and policy differences, following the ANC's historic loss of majority in 2024. President Cyril Ramaphosa hosted the landmark G20 summit in Johannesburg, the first on African soil, though US President Donald Trump boycotted it, citing unfounded claims of white genocide. Explosive revelations from Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi dominated headlines, leading to the Madlanga Commission probing systemic corruption, political interference and criminal infiltration in law enforcement. The SACP resolved to contest future elections independently of the Tripartite Alliance. Jacob Zuma's MK Party faced internal turmoil with suspensions, expulsions, and allegations of recruiting South Africans for the Russia-Ukraine war. Meanwhile, EFF leader Julius Malema was convicted on firearm charges for discharging a rifle at a 2018 rally. For expert analysis on these stories and their implications for 2026, Elvis Presslin spoke to political analyst Dr. Dale McKinley, an independent writer, researcher, and lecturer
