The South African political landscape this year has been fraught with internal fights in parties, some grappling to get their houses in order and perceived racism. ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa seems to be facing a rebellion, led by legally and politically embattled Secretary-General Ace Magashule, while the DA under the leadership of John Steenhuisen failed to perform in recent by-elections and saw membership numbers drop. The EFF appeared to keep a low profile but embarked on a few anti-racism drives.
Samkele Maseko takes a look at the highs and lows of the ANC, DA and EFF in the political year that was.

Ramaphosa Sends South African Diplomats to US to Mend Ties | Firstpost Africa
South Africa sent a delegation of senior diplomats to Washington to clarify 'misconceptions' from the Trump administration that have soured bilateral ties. The delegation was led by South Africa’s G-20 Sherpa, Zane Dangor, who met with the U.S. National Security Council’s Africa Director, the Acting Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, and Treasury Department representatives. This meeting comes after the U.S. expelled veteran South African Ambassador, Ebrahim Rasool, last month over his controversial remarks against U.S. President Donald Trump. This followed US aid cuts over Trump’s claims about land confiscation in South Africa under its land reforms. Trump also offered white South Africans refugee status in the US. Watch for more details.

The majority of growth of the human brain happens after birth.While unrelenting stress can damage developing structures of the limbic system, calibrated challenge can positively stimulate brain growth. Teachers have an important role in assuring students of their safety when taking on new challenges.This video is supported by yes. every kid., an initiative that aims to rethink education from the ground up by connecting innovators in a shared mission to conquer "one size fits all" education reform.

TRANSCRIPT:
PAMELA CANTOR: We're mammals. And as mammals, the majority of the growth of our brains happens after we're born. So this is a very, very crucial thing to understand. The majority of the growth of the human brain happens after birth. And we know that it takes a long time for the human brain to develop. There are critical periods like zero to five, and there are new critical periods of great sensitivity that are being discovered. The newest of them is actually adolescence. But a human baby has what's called "experience dependent growth." Their brains are astonishingly malleable, and they grow in response to the experiences and relationships that we expose them to. So one of the first principles of human development and brain development is this astonishing feature of the human brain because it's made up of tissue that is the most susceptible to change from experience of any tissue in the human body.
There are three things to remember about brain development. One is astonishing malleability, experience dependent growth and the role of context. But I still haven't told you how context actually gets under the skin and into the brain. And in order to do that I need to tell you about the limbic system. The limbic system is the part of the brain that responds to things like emotion, attention, concentration, memory and it consists of three structures. There's the prefrontal cortex, which involves focus and attention. There's the hippocampus, which has many functions in memory. And then there's the amygdala which is the emotion center of the human brain. These three structures develop together. They're intimately connected and cross wired. The limbic system is the learning center of the brain. But to talk about how context gets inside, I want to give you two examples. And the two examples are the systems that govern stress and the systems that govern love and trust.
The first is our stress response system, and this system is mediated by the hormone cortisol. So when we experience stress, we get that fight-flight-freeze feeling where our heart starts to pound and the hair goes up on the back of our neck. And that stress response is actually a good thing. It's adaptive. It helps us focus. It helps us prepare for something like a recital or a performance.
When this system is triggered over and over again by unrelenting stress it can get locked in the on position. And when that happens to children because of overwhelming stress, stress that is not buffered by the presence of an adult this kind of stress can produce damage and consequence to the developing structures of the limbic system. In fact, what can happen is the amygdala, the emotion center of the brain can grow disproportionately to the development of the other two structures.
And those other two structures, the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus are vital for learning. So adversity doesn't just happen to children, it happens inside their brains and bodies through the biologic mechanism of stress. So that's an example of how context can get inside our bodies and our brains. But fortunately, there's an upside to this story in the hormone system that's mediated by the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin is known as our love-trust hormone. And interestingly that hormone has the same target in the brain as cortisol, the structures of the limbic system. Because the limbic system is covered with receptors for these two hormonal systems. So when a person has the experience of a human relationship that can buffer stress what...

The United States is set to receive its first cohort of South Africans who will be in the country on refugee status next week.
This is after President Donald Trump afforded them asylum after issuing an executive order earlier this year.
It also comes in a week when the Pan Africanist Congress facilitated a meeting between the ANC and the Afrikaner Leadership Network to thrash out issues of contention and national importance.
Meanwhile, the DA is continuing to challenge our country’s transformation laws, this time the Employment Equity Amendment Act.

The ongoing debate surrounding White South African refugees has sparked significant controversy both domestically and internationally. While the South African government dismisses claims of persecution as misinformation, the United States has recognized these concerns as legitimate, citing state policies that disproportionately affect White South Africans. Statements from U.S. officials, including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, highlight issues such as Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) policies, land expropriation, and racially charged rhetoric from political leaders.
Despite efforts by the South African government to downplay the refugee crisis, the international community increasingly views these policies as race-based discrimination. The departure of White South Africans due to government actions poses a serious challenge to South Africa’s global reputation, particularly among investors. Meanwhile, supporters of the African National Congress (ANC) and its allies often deny the existence of targeted violence, such as farm murders, further exacerbating the issue.
This discussion explores the political, economic, and social factors contributing to the refugee crisis, examining how government policies and public sentiment have shaped the current situation.
South African Defense Forces SANDF Lieutenant-General Ntshavheni Maphaha talks about the borders and the useless politicians destroying our country. Ofcourse the anc's cadres come out to whimper and shout insults. in comes Dakota Legoete
All this after South african soldiers died in the drc democratic republic of congo and 2 soldiers came back pregnant. The South African government is not equipping and funding our millitary. Our solideris are not ready.

The BBC’s Jewel Kiriungi takes a closer look at how events unfolded.
