WAW! What A Week with DJ Fresh

This week on Politricks with Botsang: The US-Iran ceasefire — two weeks to save the Middle East or just a timeout? The UN slaps SA over the Boeremag trial. A deputy mayor fires a gun in public and gets charged under the Environmental Act. The ConCourt promises the EFF the PhalaPhala judgment within a month. ANC structures revolt against Lesufi's EFF Finance MEC appointment in Gauteng. ActionSA files criminal charges against Minister Tolashe over luxury Chinese SUVs. Plus, Ramaphosa appoints a new SARS Commissioner. And Sergeant Fannie Nkosi's house raid uncovers a grenade, guns, cash, and closed case dockets.

Politricks with Botsang — the week that had EVERYTHING. Government drops a R3 fuel levy cushion, but petrol still climbed R3.06 and diesel over R7 per litre. Relief or illusion? Lesufi reshuffles his Gauteng cabinet and hands the Finance MEC seat to the EFF's Nkululeko Dunga — the party that was threatening to destabilise the province a year ago. SARS smashes through R2 trillion in revenue for the first time ever. Trump slaps his signature on $100 bills while the UK rallies 35 countries to fix the Strait of Hormuz crisis — without America at the table. The Igbo king coronation in KuGompo sparks protests, violence, and a diplomatic incident. And Helen Zille goes snorkelling in a three-year-old Joburg pothole — and it gets fixed days later.

This week on WAW What a Week, we sit down with the original music man — JR Bogopa. From Attridgeville to the Idols SA judges' chair, from discovering Shane Eagle and Yanga Chief to building Africa's first music distribution app FYVE, JR has quietly shaped South African music for over 15 years. But we're not here for the Wikipedia version. We're here for the WEEK. How was his Monday? What stressed him out? Did Tshepi check him? And what's sitting in his phone that the world doesn't know about yet? Plus we get into the business behind Feel Good Live Sessions, fatherhood, marriage, and why he believes there's value in scarcity. This one is personal, unfiltered and full of gems.

This week on WAW Politricks, DJ Fresh and Botsang Moiloa break down the biggest political stories shaping South Africa and the world. President Cyril Ramaphosa distances himself from the controversial disbandment of the Political Killings Task Team, raising serious questions about accountability at the highest level. The Madlanga Commission and Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee continue to expose cracks within law enforcement leadership, as top officials return to testify and key witnesses come under pressure. In Johannesburg, political tensions escalate as the ANC regional structure attempts to recall Mayor Dada Morero — only to be overruled by national leadership — while the MK Party reinstates Dr John Hlophe in a powerful parliamentary role. Internationally, the narrative around “white genocide” in South Africa faces scrutiny as some emigrants reportedly return home from the United States citing safety and cost-of-living concerns. And in the US, tensions rise as Donald Trump clashes with NATO allies while a senior counter-intelligence official resigns over foreign policy decisions. Sharp analysis. Real talk. No filters.

This week on WAW Politricks, we unpack a week packed with political developments at home and abroad. South Africa mourns the passing of liberation struggle veteran Ntate Mosiuoa “Terror” Lekota, with the country preparing to honour him with a Category 2 Special Official Funeral in the Free State. Meanwhile, tensions rise diplomatically after DIRCO demarches the United States Ambassador over comments relating to the “Kill the Boer” chant — raising fresh debate about diplomacy, political rhetoric, and international relations. Domestically, the SANDF has been deployed to identified crime hotspots in Gauteng to support SAPS in tackling violent crime and illegal mining. Is this a necessary intervention or a sign that the security situation is escalating? We also track the progress of the Parliamentary Ad-Hoc Committee and the Madlanga Commission, as oversight processes continue to examine critical issues around governance and accountability. In a major moment for State Capture accountability, former ANC MP Vincent Smith becomes the first major political figure linked to the Zondo Commission findings to appear in court wearing orange overalls. And globally, we examine the escalating tensions between the United States, Iran, and the United Nations, as the conflict raises concerns about regional instability, shipping routes, and global markets. All this and more on WAW Politricks with DJ Fresh and Botsang Moiloa. Thank you for watching, please subscribe to support the channel.

This week on WAW PoliTricks, we unpack some of the biggest political stories shaping South Africa and the world right now. We remember the life and legacy of veteran politician and liberation struggle stalwart Ntate Mosiua “Terror” Lekota, reflecting on his journey from Robben Island prisoner to Defence Minister and opposition leader. Did President Thabo Mbeki’s administration orchestrate a “deeply unlawful” moratorium on TRC prosecutions, effectively creating a backdoor amnesty for apartheid-era perpetrators? We also break down the impact of tensions in the Gulf and the war involving Iran. Back home, another deadly building collapse raises serious questions about safety regulations, municipal oversight and why these tragedies keep catching authorities by surprise. We also examine reports that the MK Party in KwaZulu-Natal is reaching out to the ANC about a possible coalition, while government has approved an operational plan for the SANDF to assist SAPS in tackling high levels of crime. Politics, power and perspective — this is WAW PoliTricks. #PoliTricks #WAWPodcast #SouthAfricanPolitics #TerrorLekota #MKParty #ANC #SANDF #CrimeInSA #MiddleEastConflict #Iran #GlobalPolitics Thank you for watching, please subscribe to support the channel.

This week on WAW! What A Week, DJ Fresh sits down with South African singer, songwriter and guitarist Jesse Clegg for a powerful conversation about music, legacy and identity. The son of the legendary Johnny Clegg, Jesse grew up in one of South Africa’s most iconic musical households. But over the years he has carved out his own lane — from chart-topping hits and international tours to building a sound that blends rock, pop and African musical influences. In this episode, Jesse opens up about growing up around music royalty, the pressure and privilege of carrying the Clegg name, navigating the modern music industry, and how losing his father reshaped his perspective on life and creativity. This is a conversation about legacy, purpose, grief, culture and the role music plays in shaping who we are. If you love honest conversations with artists who think deeply about their craft, this episode is for you. Watch / Listen to WAW! What A Week with DJ Fresh.
