Daily briefing (afternoon) — Wednesday, 27 May 2026

Talk radio on 27 May 2026 was dominated by two overlapping crises: the first repatriation flight of 300 Ghanaian nationals from OR Tambo as anti-immigration pressure mounts, and President Ramaphosa's bombshell court bid to halt his own Phala Phala impeachment inquiry. Stations also dug into the NPA's extraordinary move against the magistrate in the Joe 'Ferrari' Sibanyoni case, Eskom's new ring-fenced deal with Joburg, and built mounting excitement for Hugo Broos's Bafana World Cup squad announcement at the Union Buildings.
