Love Connection: Is marriage still relevant in today’s society?

Aubrey's take on news of the day

The legacy of female activism in South Africa is deeply rooted in the struggle against apartheid, where women fought against oppression, advocating for equality, and fighting for social justice. Icons like Lilian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph, and Albertina Sisulu led powerful movements, such as the 1956 Women's March to the Union Buildings which led to a public holiday we recognise today as  Women’s day. As South Africa transitioned to democracy, the focus of female activism shifted towards addressing gender-based violence, economic inequality, free and democratic education using social media to amplify these issues. What does this say about the legacy of activism in South Africa? How is the younger, democratic generation of women continuing this legacy? To have this conversation with is Martha Evans, Senior Lecturer in Media Studies, University of Cape Town.

This evening on Legal matters we look at father’s right to get access/custody to their children and this is sparked by the recent case of Pastor Mboro’s son forcefully taking his kids from their primary school. On Monday morning, 7th August 2024, Mboro, his son and his bodyguard went to Matshediso Primary School in Ekurhuleni wielding a rifle and pangas, intimidating teachers and traumatising learners. The pastor is involved in an ongoing custody dispute, which is proving to be messy, after the mother of the children died earlier this year. It’s been reported that Mboro covered some of the funeral costs. Joining us to talk about father’s right to get access/custody to their children we’re joined by Claire Thomson, an attorney in private practice at Witz Inc Attorneys in Johannesburg. Claire is a specialist family law practitioner, a trained mediator and a notary public. She is also practices commercial law.
