what did you make of the message that cyril ramaphosa had for south africans today?lear enough. i have to tell you, you know, i didn't make anything, we didn't make anything of what the president had to say. he hasn't said anything new. the anc is always reminding us of its legacy, it's always reminding us that it's the party of mandela's, it's the party of oliver tambo and the party of sisulu. they have brought out all the old guard of the anc to campaign forthem. and so we know that they're promising south africans that they will create jobs and la—di—da. and what we did today was beyond the ground as our final push, and we were engaging south africans in different communities across housing and across the country to try to say to them, you know, we really, really do need a breath of fresh air in our in our politics and in our parliament and in the ways that south africans can find themselves really, really trusting in the political process and political leaders in our country. festival season is well and truly under way — with radio 0ne's big weekend kicking off i

i would say there was a political interive for ramaphosa to push for this bill ahead of the elections but it's not feasible as it stands receipt now. there is no fiscal ability from the national treasury to even afford this. but, you know, on the fiscal, if you will look at south africa, the debt path is deteriorating and imf has a forecast for debts gdp to reach 80% the next few years and the interest bill will exceed 5% as well. we are looking at ballooning fiscal deficits in a world there is a collision course between higher deficits and higher interest costs. so that is a concern for south africa. >> yeah. if one wanted to ask the question as to what exactly is shifting things in south africa, so many issues. all of the above are prominent and we have not spoken about power cuts or the jobless rate, which is the highest in the world as well. so many issues at play. i appreciate the time and hopefully, we can continue this conversation. thank you for joining us in the studio. >> thank you. >> she is the global head of em strategy at vnp. let's do a quick roundup of the european mar

the senior leadership of the governing party itself, they are not happy with what president ramaphosa that when he started campaigning, he was the president who promised to get rid of corruption. he was the president who said "send me, iwill clean "up the corru ption". however, the covid—i9 pandemic happened, more money was looted in that two years than what happened during the jacob zuma tenure. so, yes, people are disillusioned, even within the anc. some senior anc members are even helping jacob zuma's new party. so this election is definitely going to be interesting. is south africa ever going to shake this off, really, basically, corruption is the one system that properly works? corruption has been deeply entrenched into society. however, there are people within the government that don't want that. it is easy to bribe for a service you are supposed to be getting because it is supposed to be provided for by the government. it will be up to ordinary south africans to ensure that that kind of thing does not continue perpetually. may it notjust kind of continue with the anc still gove

mr ramaphosa leads an administration that has overseen the decline of south africa economically.ising year over year. but here today, he's promising to create more jobs and stimulate the economy. the main opposition party, the democratic alliance, holds its final rally tomorrow. but the ruling party also faces challenge from its former heavyweights like ex—president jacob zuma. he now bucks a new party that's expected to eat into the anc vote. and the fiery former youth leader, julius malema. he held his own rally today with his rival party, eff. three decades after winning south africa's struggle against apartheid, the anc still enjoys mass support. but today its leader struggled to fill the stadium, perhaps foreshadowing an election in which some believe it might fall short of the 50% it needs to avoid having to form a coalition. the anc faces its toughest electoral battle yet. bbc news, johannesburg. kenyan president william ruto has wrapped up a historic visit to washington — the first african leader in more than 15 years to visit the us capital. presidentjoe biden strengthen

this vote is a verdict on president ramaphosa's record.a, who is now fronting a new breakaway party. also in the running is the party formed by the controversial former youth leaderjulius malema. the largest opposition party, the democratic alliance, entered a pre—election coalition with smaller parties hoping to benefit from the ruling anc falling fortunes. i think the best hope for south africa going forward are actually coalition governments. i don't think one dominant party would serve this country. that's not something that worries voters. a more competitive election may throw political parties into a spin for now, but ultimately it may strengthen democracy. anne soy, bbc news, durban. south korea has warned residents to stay indoors, after accusing north korea, of sending giant balloons carrying rubbish across the border. officials say more than 260 were found, with reports that some were carrying animal waste. it appears to be retaliation for propaganda leaflets sent north, on balloons by activists. shaima khalil has the latest, fro
