The private sector in South Africa is still lacking behind in terms of gender equality especially when it comes to the representation of vulnerable groups such as women and persons with disability in leadership positions.  

This is according to the country's Commission for Gender Equality (CGE).  

The commission says there is a need for a shift in legislation to ensure that the private sector is not only fined but some directors who are against transformation are disqualified.  

The commission is hosting a two-day conference which begun on Wednesday to evaluate the strides made and challenges which hinder the attainment of gender equality in South Africa.

Sisi Segalo has compiled the following report.

The South African Christian Ministers Council ( SACMIC) says it is high time that Africa move past the stereotype that is a conflict ridden continent. The organisation's reaction follows  post election violence which has plagued the country since the October disputed elections in that country.  The country is also facing another hurdle following the escape of over 1500 dangerous prisoners from Maximum security prison.

The issue of illegal mining, often referred to as "zama zama" activity, has resurfaced as a pressing concern in South Africa. This follows intensified efforts by authorities to address the problem by compelling illegal miners to come to the surface, amid ongoing and often tense stand-offs. The issue highlights broader challenges tied to abandoned and disused mines across the country. Adding to the controversy, the Benchmark Foundation-a South African-based global corporate responsibility watchdog-has raised serious questions about the management and allocation of the estimated R50 billion mine closure fund. This fund, intended to rehabilitate abandoned mining sites and ensure environmental and community safety, has come under scrutiny for its lack of transparency and apparent ineffectiveness. To talk about the state of disused mines and the implications for communities and the environment, Peter Ndoro spoke to researcher at the Benchmark Foundation, David van Wyk, who offers insights into this critical issue.
