TV news and shows, as well as films, feature quickly changing shots, further sapping our ability to focus. AI, meanwhile, is impacting our ability to think critically Kaya 959

President Cyril Ramaphosa is facing renewed pressure as ActionSA prepares to lay criminal charges linked to the controversial Phala Phala farm saga. The party claims the amount stolen during the 2020 burglary may have been as high as R15 million, far more than previously reported and says this raises serious questions about alleged misrepresentation and non-disclosure. The move follows last week’s Constitutional Court ruling that revived the possibility of a parliamentary impeachment inquiry, thrusting the scandal back into the national spotlight. ActionSA leaders are expected to open the case in Bela Bela on Wednesday, accusing the president of fraud, perjury and violations of anti-corruption laws. Phemelo speaks to Matakanye Matakanye.

South Africans are demanding answers after revelations that nearly R80 billion has been spent on Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems over the past two decades, despite relatively low commuter uptake. The controversy gained momentum following concerns over near-empty Rea Vaya stations in Johannesburg, with critics questioning whether taxpayers are getting value for money. Figures discussed on 702 reveal that only around 152,000 passengers use BRT services nationwide, compared to the almost eight million South Africans who rely on taxis every day. Rea Vaya officials insist the project remains part of a long-term integrated transport plan, but with billions already spent and operating costs running into tens of millions monthly, frustration over government spending and failed infrastructure projects continues to grow.
