DA transitions to a new era - Who's next in line?

Mission Accomplished! That's according to current Democratic Alliance leader, John Steenhuisen. He said he will not seek re-election for a third term as DA Federal Leader at the party's upcoming Federal Congress. Steenhuisen premised this by saying he has delivered everything that he promised his party when he was first elected as Federal Leader. Going on to say that he proudly picked up the party's banner when its internal polling was down to just 16% and after the media declared the "Death of the DA." He said he, together with others, not only resurrected the party's fortunes but also carried it to new heights. Do you agree?

Should SA get more involved in the US-Venezuela tensions

A "grave time" is how the United Nations Chief António Guterres described it, in remarks to the Security Council on Venezuela. He said he is deeply concerned that rules of international law have not been respected with regard to the 3 January military action by the United States. The UN Charter enshrines the prohibition of the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. So the big question is, what precedent has Donald Trump set and who can or should police the superpower? And what assessment can be made of South Africa's diplomatic response to events in Venezuela and to threats of other invasions around the world? To unpack this we have Senior Research Fellow and Director at Afrasid, Thembisa Fakude, Lecturer of Political Science & International Relations at University of KwaZulu Natal Dr Sakhile Hadebe and SABC News Specialist Correspondent, Sophie Mokoena.
