Daily briefing (morning) — Tuesday, 26 May 2026

Africa Day fell on a day when the continent felt anything but united on South Africa's airwaves. Stations were dominated by the security cluster's emergency meeting on anti-immigration protests and the looming 30 June deadline set by March and March, while Brown Mkhwanazi's bail saga and the naming of the Section 89 impeachment committee against President Ramaphosa kept the political temperature high. Sport offered the country's rare unifying moment, with Mamelodi Sundowns lifting a second CAF Champions League and Orlando Pirates ending a 14-year league drought.
