In July, BizNews founder Alec Hogg spoke to Professor Colleen Aldous - an Associate Professor and Clinical Researcher at the University of KwaZulu-Natal who has boldly spoken out in favour of Ivermectin. Aldous stated clearly that she does not believe that Ivermectin is a 'miracle drug', but that there is more than enough evidence pointing towards its effectiveness. In July, BizNews published an article written by Professor Aldous in which she argued that the placement of our trust in a small group of experts who advocate against ivermectin is being done at the potential cost of human life. With the fact-based evidence in respect of Ivermectin's efficacy in the treatment of Covid-19 reaching an insurmountable level - one has to ask what the reasons are for the vehement argument against its use by institutions like the World Health Organisation. In this interview, BizNews spoke to Dr Nathi Mdladla, Dr Pinky Dr Ngcakani and Professor Colleen Aldous about the use of Ivermectin in conjunction with other alternative treatment as well as vaccination in order to treat Covid-19.

South African anti-apartheid activist Lord Peter Hain joins the BizNews Power Hour to discuss the release of his memoir, A Pretoria Boy: The Story of South Africa’s ‘Public Enemy Number One’, and what it was like growing up in Pretoria with activist parents. Hain reflects on what is happening in South Africa now and gives his honest view of Cape secession. His advice is to learn and draw inspiration from the liberation fighters of the past in order to change things for the better. "There is good in South Africa despite the bad. There is excellence, despite some of the chaos. There are incredible entrepreneurs, despite the dead hand of bankrupt and badly run state-owned enterprises. I still think the country's got great potential, and I hope the bad can be beaten by the good. But it won't be unless we do something about it. Change is only ever brought about by minorities acting. It needs mass support to deliver it, but it's only minorities who give the leadership."

Voices from some quarters in the Western Cape including the United Liberty Alliance and the Greater Cape Town Civic Alliance that the province should become an independent territory have grown louder. They claim that they could get the necessary votes in a referendum in the province. Roelf Meyer who was the chief negotiator for the ruling National Party when the country’s first democratic constitution was written has firmly rejected the idea that secession has substantial  support or could succeed. He took a deep dive into the articles of the constitution, the debates that covered issues of federalism and self-determination and whether it makes economic sense with Linda van Tilburg, who covered the negotiations in the 1990s at the World Trade Centre, to investigate whether succession could be  a viable idea.
