South Africa: Why It Matters – The Crisis You're Not Hearing About
In Episode 19 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, journalist Lara Logan sits down with South African billionaire and outspoken entrepreneur Rob Hersov for a powerful and urgent discussion on the unfolding crisis in South Africa.
Hersov delivers a blunt indictment of the African National Congress (ANC), blaming the ruling party for skyrocketing crime, corruption, and targeted violence, including the well-documented murders of white farmers across the country. He warns of a country in freefall — where lawlessness, state-led land expropriation, and deep-seated political dysfunction threaten to collapse one of the continent's most important democracies.
Logan and Hersov discuss the international community's silence, the political betrayal of South Africans, and how former President Donald Trump's remarks briefly cast a necessary spotlight on the escalating farm attacks. Despite the grim realities, Hersov emphasizes that there is still opportunity to turn the country around — if bold leadership and global pressure align.

All eyes on Germany's Merz ahead of White House meeting with Trump
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is scheduled to meet US President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday in his first visit to the US capital since becoming chancellor a month ago - in what is likely to be the toughest test of his young tenure yet. Trump is scheduled to receive the German leader at 11:30 am (1530 GMT), followed by a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office and a working lunch. Previous visits to the Oval Office by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa were marked by controversies, and the way Merz handles the situation is likely to set the tone for future German-US relations. The meeting is expected to focus on efforts to end the war in Ukraine, NATO's response to growing external threats, and the trade dispute between the United States and the European Union. Merz has already made it clear that he is not travelling to the US capital begging for support but as a confident representative of European positions. The chancellor has only briefly met Trump once before, many years ago in New York. However, since taking office four weeks ago, he has spoken with Trump several times about Russia's war against Ukraine - both individually and in larger groups with other European leaders. The two now address each other by first names and are in regular contact via text messages. Merz spent the night at Blair House - the president's guest house - after arriving in Washington. He is due to spend only about 17 hours in the US capital and also plans to visit the Capitol, the seat of the two chambers of Congress. In keeping with tradition, Merz left a book at Blair House - a collection of letters from German immigrants published by Walter Kamphoefner in 1988 titled "News from the Land of Freedom. German Immigrants write home." At the encounter in the Oval Office, which is open to the press, Trump's closest advisors are likely to be present as well. However, Vice President JD Vance is expected to be absent after playing a leading role in the dressing-down of Zelensky in front of rolling cameras in February Vance, as well as US Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio - whose participation has been confirmed - have attacked Germany and other European allies over what they say are restrictions on free speech and the marginalization of far-right parties including the Alternative for Germany (AfD). Merz, whose conservatives came out first in February's elections ahead of the AfD, has repeatedly made it clear that he rejects the US meddling in Germany's domestic politics. In June, Merz and Trump are scheduled to meet twice more: at the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Canada in mid-June and at the NATO summit later that month in The Hague.

Germany's Merz enters Trump's Oval Office ring
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Thursday will enter President Trump 's televised Oval Office stage, where world leaders before him have been ambushed, scolded and sent home without lunch. The big picture: Under Trump 2.0, the Oval Office has become a danger zone for world leaders, who at the very least are subject to a series of on-camera spectacles — and at the worst, a full-blown attack. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa 's Washington visit took a dark turn when Trump told an aide to dim the lights before presenting a compilation of clips to back the false allegations of a "white genocide" in South Africa. Much of what Trump said and showed was inaccurate or debunked, Axios' Russell Contreras reported. Driving the news: Merz, whose Christian Democratic Union bested the Elon Musk-endorsed far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, will come face-to-face with the president Thursday. In a Wednesday statement posted to X, Merz described the U.S. as "an indispensable friend and partner of Germany," per a translation. But in February, Merz struck a different tone, saying strengthening Europe was his "absolute priority" in order to "really achieve independence" from the U.S. In a Feb. 23 X post, he wrote that his "impression over the last few days is that Russia and America are finding common ground — over the heads of Ukraine, and consequently over those of Europe." Those comments followed Vice President JD Vance's stunning Munich Security Conference speech in which he lambasted European allies over so-called censorship and decried the dangers of mass immigration. Yes, but: Some leaders have walked away from the White House relatively unscathed. Canada's Mark Carney experienced some friction — telling Trump Canada is "is not for sale" — but avoiding the public flogging Ramaphosa and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky received. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele leaned into the show, Axios' Dave Lawler reported, and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer came ready with a gift — an embossed letter from King Charles III. Merz's conservative immigration approach and business background could help him find common ground with Trump. Zoom in: A White House official told Axios one likely topic for the meeting with be what the administration perceives as Democratic backsliding, notably over free speech rights. Other likely discussion points include defense spending, trade and talks to end the war in Ukraine, the official said. What we're watching: MAGA world's sympathies toward the anti-immigration AfD party could be one tense undercurrent to the meeting. Secretary of State Marco Rubio last month condemned a since-suspended decision from German intelligence to classify AfD as a right-wing extremist organization. "What is truly extremist is not the popular AfD—which took second in the recent election—but rather the establishment's deadly open border immigration policies that the AfD opposes," Rubio, who is set to be present at Thursday's meeting, wrote.

Oscar Pistorius competes in triathlon 12 years after murdering girlfriend
By Sfundo Parakozov and Alessandro Parodi JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -South African former Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius was spotted competing in a triathlon last weekend in the coastal city of Durban, 12 years after murdering his girlfriend and a year after his release on parole. Afrikaans-language news website Netwerk24 on Wednesday reported Pistorius' participation in the Ironman 70.3 competition. Netwerk24 cited an unnamed source as saying that Pistorius had permission from his parole officer to compete. Conrad Dormehl, an attorney for Pistorius, confirmed to Reuters that Pistorius had participated in the Durban race. Singabakho Nxumalo, spokesperson of South Africa's Department of Correctional Services, said he did not know whether Pistorius had received permission to compete, but would find out and respond to questions sent by Reuters. He said his parole officer would have needed to approve him travelling from where he lives to another district. Pistorius - dubbed "Blade Runner" for his carbon-fibre prosthetic legs - shot dead 29-year-old model Reeva Steenkamp through a locked bathroom door on Valentine's Day in 2013, in a crime that drew worldwide attention and shocked a nation inured to violence against women. He repeatedly said he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder and launched multiple appeals against his conviction on that basis. Pistorius, now 38, was freed from jail in January 2024 after completing more than half his sentence and is on parole until his sentence expires in 2029. Netwerk24 published a photograph of Pistorius riding a bicycle with the race number 105. Pistorius' distinctive tattoo and prosthetic legs were visible in the photograph. Reuters contacted the photographer who gave the news agency permission to publish images similar to the one Netwerk24 used. Results published online by sports-timing company SportSplits show an athlete called Oscar Leonard Carl Pistorius competed in the triathlon under race number 105, coming 555th among all participants and third in the "physically challenged" category. The race involved a 2-km swim, a 90-km bike ride and a 21-km run - a total distance of 70.3 miles. Pistorius was once the darling of the sports world, and a pioneering voice for disabled athletes, for whom he campaigned to be allowed to compete with able-bodied participants at major sports events. He won six gold medals over three Paralympic Games in Athens, Beijing and London, and competed in able-bodied races at the London 2012 Olympics.
