Ray White speaks to political analyst Ntsikelelo Breakfast about a week where South Africa’s leadership walked a tightrope on the global stage. President Cyril Ramaphosa calmly countered Donald Trump’s claims of “white genocide” while making a strategic trade pitch abroad. Meanwhile, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana delivered Budget 3.0, avoiding deep austerity but tightening spending with hopes pinned on improved tax collection and a mysterious R20-billion fix. And as Elon Musk’s Starlink eyes the local market, the question remains: can it lift off under South Africa’s BEE regulations? Ntsikelelo Breakfast unpacks a high-stakes mix of diplomacy, budgets, and bandwidth.
