South Africa has enough savings to finance much of the infrastructure development it requires, according to Makole Mupita, co-founder and fund principal at Mahlako Financial Services.

In an article, Mupita highlights the growing debate around how the retirement savings industry can play a bigger role in financing economic growth. She notes that South Africa has one of Africa’s deepest pools of institutional capital, with pension funds managing approximately R5.8-trillion in assets, equivalent to around 64% of GDP.

Makole Mupita joins Thami Ngubeni on the line to share her thoughts on the role retirement savings could play in supporting infrastructure development and economic growth in South Africa.

Standard Bank Group and UnionPay International (UPI) are expanding UnionPay e-commerce acceptance across nine African markets, enabling participating merchants to accept secure online payments from UnionPay cardholders.

The expanded capability gives businesses broader access to cross-border consumer demand while strengthening digital commerce across Africa. It also helps merchants offer more payment choice, reduce checkout friction and serve international travellers, cross-border shoppers and businesses transacting across multiple markets.

Norman Nyawo, Head of Merchant Solutions for Business and Commercial Banking at Standard Bank South Africa, joins Thami Ngubeni on the line to discuss what this development means for businesses and digital commerce across the continent.

Un nouvel accord prévoit la formation, la collecte du renseignement et le soutien aérien de l’armée tchadienne depuis le mois d’avril, mais sans bases françaises permanents.

Après le départ de la France, le Tchad s’était tournée vers la Russie, la Turquie et les Émirats arabes unis (EAU) pour obtenir une assistance. Comment donc interprêter ce come-back, alors que la situation sécuritaire dans le pays continue à faire l’objet de plusieurs préoccupations.

Pour en parler, nous sommes en ligne avec Abdelkerim Koundougoumi, président du Mouvement politique “Le Pacte des Bâtisseurs”.

South Africa's opposition party ActionSA has filed papers in the North Gauteng High Court, against the South African Police Service, accusing it of a politically driven attempt to shield members of the Presidential Protection Service (PPS) involved in the Phala Phala cover-up.

The party is seeking the records of disciplinary hearings that cleared PPS members General Wally Rhoode and Constable Rekhoto of wrongdoing, despite adverse findings by the Public Protector and IPID - Independent Police Investigative Directorate.

ActionSA says it will continue to pursue the matter to ensure accountability for the Phala Phala scandal.

For more on this, we are joined on the line by the National Chairperson of ActionSA, Michael Beaumont.

Feature: The African Child

For teenagers and students, anger can sometimes be the emotion
everyone sees, while the real struggle underneath it goes unnoticed.

Academic pressure, conflict with friends, bullying, family difficulties,
social media and the challenges of adolescence can all affect how
young people respond when they feel overwhelmed.

But there is an important difference between experiencing anger and
being unable to manage it. When anger begins affecting relationships,

schoolwork, behaviour or a young person’s sense of control, it becomes
important to understand what is driving it and how they can learn
healthier ways of responding.

We look at how we can help young people understand their anger
without simply labelling them as difficult or disrespectful? And what
parents, teachers and students themselves can do to manage anger
before it escalates.

The Kamba Pan African Theatre Festival returns to Johannesburg’s Market Theatre, bringing together theatre, music, film, workshops and thought-provoking conversations around this year’s theme: “Memory Against Forgetting.”

Now in its third year, the festival explores how African societies remember their histories, preserve cultural identity and pass stories from one generation to the next.

We speak to Bobby Rodwell, Curator of the Kamba Pan African Theatre Festival, about the power of the arts to preserve memories, challenge forgetting and keep African stories alive.

From the stage to the screen and the classroom, discover why cultural memory matters—and why these conversations remain so important across Africa today.
