You can see this is obviously the hub of South African politics right now.

Global markets, particularly the U.S. markets, up quite strongly because of what looks like seismic changes in the U.S. Donald Trump's Republicans losing control over both the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.

Joining us from Daily Maverick, check out their coverage today on the Daily Maverick site of that agreement reached and it would seem signed between the South African Municipal Workers Union and the people who currently run the city of Johannesburg.
JamesHOST
But I just want to shout out certain resources for the election.
JamesHOST
One, Daily Maverick with Rebecca Davis released a really great 10-minute video, which we will link below, about what you're going to do tomorrow practically, like how to vote.
JamesHOST
Then the Escom to Push people released Elections to Push, which is an interactive map where you can follow each race as the results come in.
JamesHOST
And thirdly, Go Vote.
John MaythamHOST
widely expected, but it has happened.
John MaythamHOST
As of January, South Africa loses the trade benefits it is conferred under the African Growth and Opportunities Act, which the agricultural economist Wandi Lesihlobu points out in a column in Daily Maverick, means that American consumers buying South African produce will pay 3.4% more.
John MaythamHOST
So it's not as if the stuff is being banned.
John MaythamHOST
You can still export to America and somebody will still import it, but you're just not getting tariff relief.
Lester KiewitHOST
Would Trump being a lame duck president affect trade? South Africa at all.
Lester KiewitHOST
Brooke Spector, former U.S. diplomat, political analyst, founding associate editor at the Daily Maverick.
Lester KiewitHOST
Just under threat, let's start there.
Lester KiewitHOST
Just how under threat, how politically vulnerable is Trump? We're looking at states like Texas, usually a solid red Republican state.
Brooks SpectorGUEST
And if you have a Democratic congressman, That's going to make the Trump administration's task a whole lot more complex.
Lester KiewitHOST
Brooks Spector, really appreciate your time.
Lester KiewitHOST
Political analyst, founding associate editor at the Daily Maverick.
JamesHOST
Yeah, I mean, there's no clear example for me of polls need to be taken with a pinch of salt, like, you know, all your qualifiers and whatever.
JamesHOST
And I think the most effective description I've heard from it is that I think Feral Hafidji from the Daily Maverick referred to it as a snapshot in time.
JamesHOST
which is why you get such, it may not seem like drastic changes, but a couple of percentage points is massive when you think about July versus September.
JamesHOST
And yeah, the ANC point for me, particularly at the national level, is interesting because the one layer to it is that it's local government.

Dan CorderHOST
This prompted an investigation into how Khan was able to submit the warning statement prior to the NPA receiving the docket.
Dan CorderHOST
In other words, how did he get his hands on that? Investigations into the matter revealed that Johnson, without the permission of the NDPP, National Director of Public Prosecutions, allegedly disclosed information to Khan and they both acted in common purpose to hinder prosecution against Khan.
Dan CorderHOST
Johnson at the time was not the head of IDAC, as Vincent Kravachan from the Daily Maverick notes in their reporting.
Dan CorderHOST
She was just based at the NDPP's offices.
