The NHI Bill has been met with negativity especially from political parties such as DA, EFF, BOSA just to name a few.

Current Affairs: What are the pros and cons of the NHI Bill?

On “In Conversation with Dr Eve”, we talk about the trauma of fat or is fat a trauma.  Dr Eve saw an excellent thought provoking documentary on AUBREY GORDON about fat, hence her curiosity to present this discussion  on FAT to our listeners. The conversations about fat and the use of OZEMPIC are rife and very topical so we will touch on these new weight loss medicines. But the theme is to really question our own stigmas,  fat shaming, beliefs about FAT PEOPLE. Not from a health /medicalised perspective .. but from the voice and personal stories of people living in FAT bodies.
