What A Week with DJ Fresh — Politricks with Botsang. This week DJ Fresh hands over to Botsang Modimowame Moiloa to unpack South Africa's biggest week in politics: Ramaphosa's impeachment committee pressing ahead while the Speaker steps aside, the Madlanga Commission's closed-door testimony and Cat Matlala's guilty plea, the R600 million bill for 30 June, the Lungu family's burial victory over the Zambian government, and a historic night for Bafana Bafana at the World Cup.

Twenty years ago, DJ Fresh, Mpho Maboi and Thato Mataboge shared one YFM studio. Then they scattered — 5FM, SuperSport, Metro, behind the glass — and built whole careers apart. Days before they reunite on Kaya 959 breakfast, they sit down on WAW to tell the real story: the fork in the road, the doors they had to kick down, what 20 years actually cost and taught them, and whether they were ever really friends in the gaps.

No press-release nostalgia. Three voices, one table, two decades on the record.

This week on Politricks:

▸ Ramaphosa interdicts the impeachment committee over Phala Phala — even as Parliament's own legal team tells the MPs to fight back. Is this exhausting every legal avenue, or weaponising the courts against Parliament?

▸ Vigilantism, immigration, or a failed state? With the 30 June deadline looming, we unpack the Durban Malawian deportation court, the Dudula pressure, and why enforcement was never impossible — just never prioritised.

▸ The DA forces Ramaphosa's hand on Cabinet — Steenhuisen demoted, an ANC reshuffle suddenly on the table. Coalition leverage, or the tail wagging the dog?

▸ The US–Iran peace deal signs Friday in Switzerland — and Netanyahu is isolated at home, in the region, and from Washington. But will it last?

▸ June 16 at fifty. Golden Jubilee, same exclusion. Political freedom won, economic freedom outstanding.

President Ramaphosa addresses the nation on illegal immigration and admits the system has been failing for years — while a 30 June deadline looms and the streets get louder.

African states respond with repatriation flights and retaliation threats: Nigeria, Ghana, Mozambique and more pull their citizens out of South Africa as the world watches.

Parliament, Joburg Mayor Dada Morero faces a marathon SCOPA grilling over write-offs, water losses and a city on the edge — with November's elections around the corner.

The Section 89 impeachment process stalls as MPs deadlock over what "fit and proper" even means.

Infantino hands Trump a FIFA Peace Prize while African fans face travel bans to the World Cup — and CAF's Motsepe has lost his voice. Plus: the USA and Iran trade strikes across the Gulf as the tournament kicks off in the same America.

Botsang pulls no punches. New episodes every week.

DJ Fresh talks to comedians, sports stars, celebrities, know-it-alls and human beings about what went down this week!

Dr Bonisile John Kani, OIS, OBE — actor, author, director, playwright, and a living pillar of South African theatre. From co-creating Sizwe Banzi Is Dead and The Island with Athol Fugard and Winston Ntshona, to winning a Tony on Broadway, to commanding global screens as King T'Chaka in Black Panther and the voice of Rafiki in The Lion King — Bra John's story is the story of South African storytelling itself. Art under apartheid, the price of defiance, the Market Theatre years, Nothing but the Truth, and what it means to carry a nation's memory on stage.

This is one for the archives. Pull up a chair.

Phala Phala is back from the dead. Four years after Parliament voted the Section 89 report into the ground, the Constitutional Court forced a rematch — and now Rise Mzansi's Makashule Gana chairs the 31-member committee deciding whether President Ramaphosa has a case to answer.

Meanwhile, the ANC is vetting mayors with one hand and recycling recalled ones with the other, while Fikile Mbalula gives regional secretaries 30 days to choose between their party posts and their municipal payslips. Matthews Phosa says the party "lost the intellectuals" — we ask what's left.

The Madlanga Commission is running out of money and the Presidency says no more extensions — but civilians and business are offering to fund it themselves. Noble civic duty or a dangerous precedent? We weigh the pros and cons.

Plus: AARTO finally rolls out nationally from 1 July — demerit points, licence suspensions, and a Western Cape that wants no part of it. And Bafana Bafana land in Mexico for the World Cup without their assistant coach and team doctor after a visa fiasco SAFA still can't explain.

DJ Fresh and Botsang Modimowame Moiloa break it all down. No fear, no favour, no filter.

This week on Politricks with Botsang, the law goes freelance. Botsang breaks down the week South Africa outsourced enforcement to the streets, and the borders .

The parties suddenly remember you exist as the 4 November local elections heat up. The March and March movement hands government a 30 June ultimatum — and the JCPS cluster shows up late.

Ghana airlifts its citizens home and drags us to the African Union. The ANC misses its own deadline to staff the Phala Phala impeachment committee while the MK chief whip on that very committee is arrested for fraud. The Netherlands passes the toughest asylum law in 25 years — doing the one thing we can't.

New episode out now.

Politricks with Botsang this week: the ANC finally opens its mayoral candidate process to the public — but is Loyiso Masuku already chosen?

ActionSA is promising MMCs picked on skill, not slate — could competency politics actually land?

Minister Hlabisa swears the Coalitions Bill will be law by November 4 — we ask if it'll stop Joburg becoming Joburg again.

The EU has officially exited the aid era — what's Plan B for SA when Washington has already pulled the plug?

And March and March has set a 30 June ultimatum for undocumented foreign nationals — we unpack what it actually means, who's politically circling it, and the diplomatic fallout from Abuja to Accra. Strap in.

A living legend of South African music walks into the WAW studio. Ringo Madlingozi — the voice behind "Sondela," "Vukani" and a catalogue that's soundtracked weddings, funerals, road trips and first loves for over three decades — joins DJ Fresh for a conversation that moves between music, politics, faith and the long road of staying true to your craft.

From his journey out of Mdantsane to becoming one of the most beloved Afro-soul voices on the continent, to swapping the stage for the benches of Parliament as an MP, Ringo opens up about the life behind the songs. Expect stories, laughter, a little wisdom, and the kind of honesty only a man who's lived it can give.
