The DA’s BEE gamble
10/27/2025
John Maytham speaks to Carol Paton, journalist at News24, to unpack the DA’s BEE election gamble — is it a principled stand for efficiency and fairness, or a political miscalculation that could alienate the very voters it needs to win over?
Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists.
A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.
