The Burning Platform

Justice Malala gives his thoughts about the Omar al-Bashir incident.  He also calls out Donald Trump and claims he’s a hypocrite after announcing he will run for president.  

Justice can’t ignore SANRAL and the eTolls, the latest trade union changes, and social grants are going to take their toll on our economy. Justice also focuses on the AU Summit. And Justice examines the dismissed corruption charges against President Zuma.  

Justice Malala looks at the Fifa bribery allegations. Let’s just admit it: we paid a bribe. NPA head Mxolisi Nxasana got a R17.3-million golden handshake. Jacob Zuma seems to make rubbish appointments and then makes us pay for them. SARS threw out the Julius Malema sequestration case. Why?  

President Zuma talks about The Poverty of Politics, but Justice Malala talks about The Poverty of Empathy. The EFF has brought real quality debate to parliament. How long will it take President Zuma to address the Marikana Report? The petrol situation in Nigeria makes FIFA look clean. And Burundi’s President just doesn’t want to step […]

Justice Malala makes a sobering point on e-Tolls. What will Danny Jordaan do for Port Elizabeth? Rob Davies’s BEE plans were a really bad idea. The public sector gets a 7% pay increase, and this is becoming problematic… can we afford this?  

What’s the way forward for the DA with their new leader, Mmusi Maimane? Justice Malala doesn’t agree with Alastair Spark’s Verwoerd comment. And what’s happening with the NPA?  

What’s the point of a referendum on the death penalty? The DA sex scandal hasn’t gone away. Mmusi Maimane has his work cut out for him, if as assumed he takes over from Helen Zille. And looks like the SA Revenue Services has become a bit politically toxic.  

The build-up to next year’s election is hotting up already. Justice Malala carefully dissects the xenophobic violence. Why did we not really notice that Helen Zille resigned as the DA leader? We still can’t fathom the stupidity of the Wits SRC President. And what’s the deal with the Hawks?  

The ‘Real State Of The Nation Address’ is delivered by Justice Malala. This SONA covers issues like the latest utterances by President Zuma, the votes of ‘no confidence’ in Zuma, and the Cecil John Rhodes saga.
