Bongani speaks to Salim Fakir from the Worldwide fund, about the ongoing tensions in Venezuela. President Nicolás Maduro’s push toward autocratic rule culminates on July 30, with the planned election of a constituent assembly to rewrite the country’s constitution.

Over the weekend ANC presidential hopeful Lindiwe Sisulu raised the

possibility of granting President Jacob Zuma amnesty from prosecution for all

the crimes he is alleged to have committed, in order to “preserve the unity”

of the ANC. Constitutional lawyer, Pierre de Vos writes that the problem with this

suggestion is that there is no valid legal avenue through which President

Zuma could be granted amnesty from prosecution. He says that one would

have to subvert the Rule of Law and the constitutionally guaranteed independence of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in order to do so.

Many victims of the safety deposit box heists at three First National Bank

branches have greeted the bank's settlement offers for their losses of

valuable collectables with disbelief and outrage. The bank began e-mailing the heist victims yesterday. Bongani speaks to both the victims of the deposit box robberies as well as Fnb.
