Daily briefing (morning) — Wednesday, 27 May 2026

Talk radio yesterday was dominated by two pressure points colliding: President Ramaphosa's last-ditch court bid to kill the Palapala impeachment inquiry, and the hardening anti-immigration mood as March and March set a 30 June deadline and African embassies started repatriating citizens. Stations also gave heavy airtime to Joburg's R5.2bn Eskom debt standoff, the homecoming party for CAF champions Mamelodi Sundowns, and a remarkable feel-good story of a US skater finishing a Uganda-to-Cape Town charity ride.
