Today we witnessed democracy at work and it was beautiful. South Africa showed many first world countries how it is done. At a national level, Parliament sat and with dignity and decorum elected office bearers. Candidates were nominated and where issues arose, they were reasonably ventilated and contested. In provinces across the country, that process was replicated. Premiers and Speakers were elected. We saw political parties from across the spectrum working together in the interests of getting the government working. The judiciary presided with gravitas and respect. Law enforcement kept close watch and rule of law was maintained. Let’s hope that holds. It is remarkable that the governing party, in power for over three decades, so maturely and willingly transitioned to a Government of National Unity - which in reality is a coalition. We saw the outcome of the elections being accepted by opposition parties even though they didn’t like it or necessarily agree with it. We can never take the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to another for granted. What a privilege to witness this day unfold and help to write the first draft of history for this beautiful country. The road ahead will be turbulent and rocky. But for now, let’s celebrate what we have achieved today South Africa 🇿🇦.

Plea deals are in vogue again! In the last two weeks, the National Prosecuting Authority has either struck deals or been in negotiations to strike agreements in several high-profile cases. The key to convincing the public of the merits of this route will be consistency. It has to be reinforced that all are equal before the law, regardless of class, status or influence. In order for the rule of law to be respected and for the NPA to be taken seriously, it cannot compromise on this principle. ewn.co.za/2026/03/19/man…

There are incredible South Africans working every day to make things better in this great country of ours. I am so lucky that while I get to see the very worst of it, I also get to see the very best of it too. Yesterday I was fortunate to take a tour of the @NSRI's Emergency Operations Centre at their headquarters in Cape Town. The EOC is a control centre with streams from cameras at beaches across the Western Cape. There are operators watching kids swimming and surfers catching waves. They’re constantly monitoring to see if anyone is in distress and needs urgent help. The way they’ve embraced technology is just brilliant.

Sad to hear of the passing of Terror Lekota. Spent a great deal of time interviewing him during his term as Defence Minister and then in the early days of Cope. He was passionate, a patriot and always so affable and respectful to us in the media.
