World View with Vicki Turner : US suspends Afghan immigration following White House shooting
Bongani Bingwa speaks to Vicki Turner as she takes us through two major global stories making headlines today. First, the United States has suspended all Afghan immigration requests after an Afghan man, who arrived in 2021, was identified as the suspect in the shooting of two National Guard soldiers near the White House, prompting a full review of security and vetting protocols. President Donald Trump has condemned the attack as an “act of terror” and vowed tougher action against foreigners “who do not belong here.” In Europe, mystery fills the skies once again as a strange red halo has reappeared over the Italian town of Possagno; the UFO-like glowing ring, photographed by Valter Binotto on November 17, marks the second unexplained event of its kind in three years, leaving scientists puzzled as they study the surreal atmospheric phenomenon. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Gauteng Report : Tshwane Mayor Launches Hard-Hitting Crackdown on Brothels and Illegal Inner-City Operations
Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Nasiphi Moyo, Mayor of Tshwane, about the sweeping clean-up operation currently underway in Pretoria’s inner city. Over the past week, several buildings posing as bars, clubs, and “gentlemen’s spots” have been shut down after authorities uncovered that they were operating as fronts for brothels, human trafficking networks, and a range of illicit activities. City enforcement teams have been combing through the CBD, closing unsafe establishments, arresting suspects, and enforcing by-laws that have long gone ignored. The raids have also revealed undocumented workers, drug dens, and troubling signs of collusion between certain city officials and criminal operators. As frustration grows among residents demanding safer streets and a revitalised capital, Mayor Moyo says this is only the first phase of a broader effort to reclaim the city. She joins us this morning to unpack what’s happening on the ground and outline what comes next in Tshwane’s aggressive clean-up campaign. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.
