Saskia Falken speaks to Sarah Koopman, Head of Partnerships and Advocacy at the Jakes Gerwel Fellowship, about why so many primary school teachers are leaving the profession, what support they need, and why investing in teachers is ultimately an investment in our children's future.

Lunch with Pippa Hudson is CapeTalk’s mid-afternoon show.  

This 2-hour respite from hard news encourages the audience to take the time to explore, taste, read and reflect. The show - presented by former journalist, baker and water sports enthusiast Pippa Hudson - is unashamedly lifestyle-driven. Popular features include a daily profile interview #OnTheCouch at 1:10 pm. Consumer issues are in the spotlight every Wednesday while the team also unpacks all things related to health, wealth & the environment.
