Ramaphosa picks ‘steady hand’ Ngobani Johnstone Makhubu as new SARS boss

Makhubu, who has been deputy commissioner in charge of taxpayer engagement and operations since 2023, is seen as a steady hand well-placed to continue Edward Kieswetter’s drive to turn the revenue service around after it was reduced to a husk of its former self during the period of State Capture under disgraced former president Jacob Zuma.

Washington’s Middle East gamble may deepen its own decline while reinforcing Beijing’s rise

The escalating Middle East conflict is rapidly becoming a defining front in the global power struggle, with US intervention risking strategic overreach while China benefits from structural advantages in energy, supply chains and finance. Rather than weakening its rival, Washington’s approach may accelerate the very shift in global power it is trying to contain.
