RAMAPHOSA VS JUNE 30
Loading player...
s South Africa races toward the controversial June 30 deadline set by anti-illegal immigration groups, Justice Malala and Mondli Makhanya unpack the rising tensions around migration, border control, government inaction, and the growing threat of vigilantism.
Did President Cyril Ramaphosa's long-awaited address to the nation provide leadership, or merely repeat familiar promises? Why has public trust in government collapsed to such an extent that fringe activists now appear to be setting the national agenda?
The conversation examines the role of corruption in South Africa's immigration system, the state's sudden flurry of activity ahead of June 30, and whether the country is heading toward confrontation or finding a path to de-escalation.
The pair also turn their attention to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where the United States' increasingly restrictive immigration policies threaten to overshadow the spirit of a global tournament built on openness and international unity.
A discussion about leadership, accountability, democracy, and the uneasy state of a country facing difficult questions about its future.
