South Africa's street food is more than a quick bite—it's a celebration of the country's diverse cultures and rich culinary heritage.

From bunny chow and kota to vetkoek, boerewors rolls and Gatsbys, these iconic favourites are enjoyed across the country.

As local cuisine gains global recognition, efforts are growing to preserve these traditions while nurturing the next generation of chefs.

Tshepo Pitjeng, founder and director of 411 Culinary School, joins us to discuss celebrating South Africa's street food culture and developing future culinary talent.

Poppy Ntshongwana & Ntsako Mhlanga unpack with Chef Tshepo Pitjeng, founder and director of 411 Culinary School.

The Western Cape High Court in South Africa is set to hear President Cyril Ramaphosa's urgent application seeking to stop Parliament's Section 89 impeachment process from proceeding.

Ramaphosa is asking the court to suspend the proceedings pending the outcome of his legal challenge to the report by the Section 89 Independent Panel, which found that he had a prima facie case to answer in connection with the Phala Phala farm matter.

The panel was established after the Constitutional Court ruled that Parliament's previous rules for initiating impeachment proceedings were unconstitutional and that a process under Section 89 of the Constitution should be followed.

For more on this, Unathi Batyashe is joined on the line by SABC News reporter, Zalene Merrington.

The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, is on a four-day tour of the Confederation of Sahel States, aimed at strengthening ties between the African Union and the alliance's member states.

The visit began in Mali, where he met Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation Minister Abdoulaye Diop and Minister for Malians Living Abroad and African Integration Mossa Ag Attaher.

Mali's Foreign Ministry says the visit marks a new phase in relations between Bamako and the African Union. Youssouf is in Burkina Faso today for talks focused on deepening co-operation between the AU and Burkina Faso.

For more on this, Unathi Batyashe is joined on the line by Austin Aigbe, Advocacy Officer at the West Africa Democracy Solidarity Network (West Africa Democracy Solidarity Network)

The European Union (EU) has banned the purchase, import and transfer of gold from Sudan, saying the trade has become a major source of funding for the country's civil war, which erupted in April 2023.

In a statement, the EU says the measures are aimed at cutting off financial support for the conflict and increasing pressure on those fuelling the war.

The move comes amid growing international calls for external backers of the conflict to withdraw, as humanitarian agencies estimate that more than 28 million people across Sudan are facing acute hunger as a result of the conflict.

For more on this, Unathi Batyashe is joined on the line by Kenneth Kgwadi, a political scientist research fellow at the Middle East Africa Research Institute.

South Africa's ageing water infrastructure is under growing pressure. Leaking pipes, deteriorating systems, rising demand and financially constrained municipalities are threatening the reliable delivery of one of the country's most essential services.

At the same time, recent policy reforms are creating new opportunities for private sector participation, with public-private partnerships (PPPs) emerging as a potential solution to help finance, upgrade and maintain critical water infrastructure.

In this interview, we speak with Devan Naidoo, Senior Investment Professional at Old Mutual Alternative Investments, about the investment landscape and what it could mean for South Africa's water future.
