Feature: The Practice

The barrier to entry in podcasting has never been lower. You can have a
microphone, a laptop and an idea, and technically, you can be
publishing by tomorrow. But accessibility has also created a crowded
space where having something to say is no longer enough.

We are looking at what happens before you the hit record button, how to
develop a concept that has a clear purpose, understand who you are
speaking to, choose the right format, build a sustainable production
process and, importantly, create something people will want to return to.
Because launching a podcast may be easy. Building one that lasts is the
real work.

What does it really take to move from having an idea to building a
podcast with a clear identity, a loyal audience and the potential to grow?

Mmatsheko Mosito unpacks with Samora Mangesi, Radio and TV broadcaster, host of The Best Of Me podcast.

South Africa has one of the world’s most progressive constitutional frameworks for gender equality. Yet decades after women marched to the Union Buildings to challenge laws designed to control their freedom, a difficult question remains: what does equality actually look like in the everyday lives of South African women?

As we continue observing Women’s Month, this edition of The Discourse looks beyond the protections on paper to examine where gender equality is still falling short in practice.

We speak to Professor Linda Meyer, Managing Director at Rosebank International and Visiting Professor at Nelson Mandela University, about the realities women face in the workplace and beyond — from pay and promotion decisions to representation in boardrooms, access to employment opportunities, and the unequal burden of unpaid work at home.

South Africa and Namibia are marking a significant milestone in the pursuit of restorative justice, historical redress and the restoration of cultural heritage.

The Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, together with Iziko Museums of South Africa, Robben Island Museum, the South African Heritage Resources Agency and their Namibian counterparts, are overseeing the repatriation of the remains of Namibian freedom fighters, ancestral human remains, grave goods and body casts removed during the colonial and apartheid eras.

The repatriation represents more than the return of human remains and cultural artefacts. It is part of a broader effort to restore dignity to individuals and communities whose humanity was violated through colonial exploitation and apartheid oppression.

It also provides an opportunity for South Africa and Namibia to confront painful chapters of their shared history while strengthening bilateral relations and advancing the process of historical redress.

Mpho Sithole speaks to Phumzile Zonke, Director: Advancement and Acting Director: Core Functions at the Iziko Museums of South Africa, about the significance of the repatriation, the importance of preserving historical memory and what this milestone means for affected communities.

Watch the full interview for more on this important step towards restorative justice and cultural repatriation.

South African authorities are intensifying the fight against counterfeit, substandard and illicit goods.

The National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS), together with the South African Police Service (SAPS), the National Consumer Commission (NCC) and other stakeholders, has launched a series of high-impact enforcement operations in Johannesburg.

The surprise raids are targeting businesses suspected of selling products that fail to meet South Africa’s safety and quality standards, as authorities step up efforts to protect consumers and hold non-compliant traders accountable.

Mpho Sithole speaks to Duncan Mutengwe, General Manager of the NRCS, about the enforcement operations, the risks posed by non-compliant products and what consumers and businesses need to know about South Africa’s safety and quality regulations.

Watch the full interview for more on the crackdown and the ongoing efforts to protect South African consumers.

Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema’s re-election for a second five-year term, with around 60% of the vote, has been welcomed by investors as a sign of policy continuity and economic stability.

Since taking office, Hichilema’s administration has pursued market-friendly economic reforms, helped secure a landmark restructuring of Zambia’s debt following the country’s 2020 sovereign default, and renewed efforts to revive the country’s vital copper mining sector.

But while Zambia’s macroeconomic outlook has improved, many ordinary citizens continue to face a high cost of living, unemployment and concerns over whether economic growth is translating into meaningful improvements in their daily lives.

Zambian economist Yusuf Dodia joins Mpho Sithole on #AfricaWorldHour to unpack what Hichilema’s continued leadership means for Zambia’s economy, international investors and the wider African region.

Watch the full discussion for insights into Zambia’s economic outlook, investment prospects and the challenges facing households.

A Comissão Eleitoral da Zâmbia confirmou a reeleição de Hakainde Hichilema para um segundo mandato presidencial.

O chefe de Estado obteve cerca de 61% dos votos, contra 38% do seu principal adversário, Brian Mundubile.

Apesar da vitória expressiva, o processo eleitoral foi marcado por tensão, com detenções de figuras da oposição e uma suspensão temporária da contagem dos votos devido a relatos de violência e furto de boletins.

Para analisar os resultados e os desafios que se colocam ao novo mandato de Hichilema, conversamos com Faustino Henrique, academico e analista politico angolano.

Civil rights organisation AfriForum and the March and March Movement have established a joint working group to address grassroots community challenges, promote peaceful coexistence, strengthen community self-reliance and hold government accountable.

However, the General Industries Workers' Union of South Africa (GIWUSA) has criticised the initiative, describing it as an assault on the black poor.

GIWUSA accuses AfriForum of seeking to preserve the economic privileges of apartheid-era capital, while alleging that March and March aims to reinforce racialised marginalisation and a labour reserve by targeting vulnerable communities.

For more on this, Lulu Gaboo is joined on the line by Mametlwe Sebei, president of the General Industries Workers Union of South Africa.

Campaigning for Nigeria's upcoming 2027 presidential and legislative elections has kicked off, ahead of the nationwide ballots scheduled for January 2027.

Incumbent President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is seeking a second term, with 18 opposition candidates cleared to contest the elections.

The main challengers argue that the APC's nearly 12 years in power have left Africa's most populous country poorer, more indebted and no safer than it was when the party came to power in 2015 under former President Muhammadu Buhari.

For more on this, we are joined on the line by Austin Aigbe, Advocacy Officer at the West Africa Democracy Solidarity Network.

Feature: The Health Brief

From the spread of climate-sensitive diseases to the pressure that extreme weather places on healthcare services, a changing climate is also changing the public health challenges South Africa has to prepare for.

The question is no longer whether climate change will affect our health systems, but whether those systems are resilient enough to respond.

A recent publication by the Public Health Bulletin South Africa puts this issue into sharp focus, describing climate change as a growing public health emergency and highlighting the need for stronger surveillance, preparedness and coordination across the health sector.

We look at the growing intersection between climate and public health, and explore what South Africa can do to build a health system that is better prepared for the realities of a changing climate.
