   Ramaphosa takes ANC campaign to Khayelitsha amid political killings

   Stations including Cape Talk, 702, SAfm and Power FM followed Ramaphosa on the trail in Khayelitsha. He promised police would bring to book those behind recent political killings, including two ANC volunteers shot while canvassing in KwaZulu-Natal and four ANC Youth League members gunned down in Ekurhuleni. He said the outcome should not affect the government of national unity. Fikile Mbalula said he was back at work after appearing unwell following the ANC's Constitutional Court win over 181 excluded candidates. In Johannesburg, Helen Zille urged DA voters towards an outright majority.

   AfriForum seeks to cross-examine Mbeki at Khampepe Commission

   Bulletins on 702, Cape Talk, Kaya 959 and Power FM carried AfriForum's request that its legal team be allowed to cross-examine former president Thabo Mbeki over alleged political interference in apartheid-era murder prosecutions. The cases include a 1985 landmine attack that killed a woman and her two children, aged 8 and 2. AfriForum's CEO said Mbeki acknowledged in an affidavit that ANC leaders took decisions that could result in gross human rights violations. Mbeki, who earlier sought Justice Khampepe's recusal, was expected to begin testifying on Monday morning.

   Cape Town housing affordability squeezes the middle class

   A breakfast conversation heard on Cape Talk and 702 examined why living near work in Cape Town is slipping out of reach. A guest said the city's reported pipeline of more than 14,000 affordable units is at various stages of land release and packaging, not homes people are moving into. Delivery depends on national, provincial and local government working together. Middle-income earners who fall outside affordable housing schemes face unrealistic deposits and bond repayments. Many residents are left facing commutes of more than two hours, with semigration cited as one contributing factor.
