The European Union has unveiled proposals to crack down on corruption in the bloc. These plans include a plan for a "blacklist" to punish non-European Union individuals accused of corruption worldwide. The European Commission proposed that individuals and entities who committed "serious acts of corruption" would see their assets frozen in the EU and be banned from the bloc. As it stands, the plans will still need to be approved by the EU's 27 member states. Who will be Jury and judge as to who is corrupt? What do these acts of corruption include? A similar plan was implemented back in 2020, was it a success, how different is this new plan? Guest:  Professor Peter Baur- University of Johannesburg Associate Economics

An A.I. Hit of Fake ‘Drake’ and ‘The Weeknd’ has shook the Music World after the track  “Heart on My Sleeve,” went viral before being taken down by streaming services this week. Some have asked whether AI could be the future of songwritting, others have called it simply ‘fraud’. Some believe that as technology continues to improve the differences will become indistinguishable. AI composes its music by regurgitating things it’s been trained to listen to in vast song databases, and that’s not so different than the way human-composed pop music is recombined from prior influences. How will this impact on the value chain in the music industry? And the livelihoods of music industry personnel? Is there a possibility for a seamless collaboration between artists and AI? This evening we aim to understand the implications AI has on the music industry. To discuss more about how AI in music might be a violation of an artist’s creativity and personhood.

US / RUSSIA RELATIONS Namibian President, Hage Geingob, has criticised countries that are not signatories to the International Criminal Court's Rome Statute, for insisting that Russian President Vladimir Putin be arrested and handed over to the ICC. President Geingob is on a state visit to South Africa. He held talks with President Cyril Ramaphosa at the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Geingob says western countries should not dictate how the African continent should conduct its affairs. The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant on March 17th  against the Russian President for alleged war crimes in Ukraine The ICC warrant against Putin stems from accusations that Russia unlawfully deported Ukrainian children. During an question and answer session, Ramaphosa said South Africa had invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the summit, but he would not be drawn on what actions the government would take on the matter. Guest: Mighty Jaime – Researcher, Analyst and political analyst Suggested Talking Points: -SA would be required to detain him on arrival, considering SA's foreign policy, particularly bearing history in mind, what are the chances that he would be detained here? -South Africa’s foreign policy under President Cyril Ramaphosa has shifted to a strong emphasis on economic diplomacy, does / would SA fair better with Russia as an ally than an enemy? How has this contributed to the SA/RUSSIA relations? -What do the principles of non-alignment, which characterise SA’s foreign policy under President Cyril Ramaphosa dictate in such a situation? -Legally what are South African government’s obligations? -Should SA decide not to do as largely expected and detain Putin, what reaction, backlash if any can be expected from the international community? -Is SA’s current neutrality on the Russia / Ukraine war helping or hurting the country? -What has been SA’s position historically on similar conflict?  E.g Israel & Palestine. What informs this position?

Guest:  Johanna Leblanc, National Security Law and Foreign Affairs Legal expert  Last year Amina Mohammed, United Nations Deputy Secretary-General  told the Security Council that Haiti is facing the worst human rights and humanitarian emergency in decades. According to her gang violence has paralysed the country, obstructed the freedom of movement of people, goods and humanitarian aid, fuelled the resurgence of cholera, increased food insecurity to unimaginable levels, displaced 155,000 people and disrupted the education of thousands of children. Earlier in the month, Haiti landed on the International Rescue Committee (IRC)’s 2023 Emergency Watchlist top 10 as political instability, gang violence, rising food insecurity and disease outbreaks escalate a humanitarian crisis. This evening we look at the worsening insecurity of Haiti - once the wealthiest colony in the Americas, but is now the Western Hemisphere's poorest country. ***The International Rescue Committee (IRC) helps people affected by humanitarian crises—including the climate crisis—to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. Founded at the call of Albert Einstein in 1933, the IRC is now at work in over 40 crisis-affected countries as well as communities throughout Europe and the Americas. We deliver lasting impact by providing health care, helping children learn, and empowering individuals and communities to become self-reliant, always seeking to address the inequalities facing women and girls. ***She also served as the Senior Foreign Policy Advisor to the Haitian government.

ELECTORAL AMENDMENT BILL President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed the Electoral Amendment Bill into law. The Bill was passed by both houses of Parliament in February this year following the historic Constitutional Court ruling that found that the Electoral Act was unconstitutional, as it did not allow independent candidates to contest provincial and national elections. The bill was passed by the National Assembly in February after a Constitutional Court order to amend the law was handed down in June 2020. *** Home Minister Minister Aaron Motsoaledi is expected to establish a Electoral Reform Consultation Panel following the signing into law of the Electoral Amendment Bill by President Cyril Ramaphosa. Motsoaledi is expected to set up the panel within four months after the gazetting of the amendments. *** The Independent Electoral Commission says it is preparing for the 2024 national elections despite possible legal challengs following the signing into law of the Electoral Amendment Bill by President Cyril Ramaphosa. *** IEC Chairperson Mosotho Moepya this afternoon said they're ready to proceed with preparations for the 2024 national elections despite some civil organisations threatening litigation over the Electoral Amendment Bill.

Guest 1 on the line:Frans Viljoen -Director and Professor of International Human Rights Law, Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria The primary human rights watchdog in Africa recently made a decision that departed from its existing practice. The African Commission of Human and Peoples’ Rights, an independent expert body within the African Union (AU) framework, used sexual or gender identity as the reason it rejected applications for observer status from three non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The commission said that “sexual orientation” was not an “expressly recognised right” in the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. It also said that protecting and promoting sexual and gender minority rights was “contrary to the virtues of African values”. The decision casts a shadow over the commission’s commitment to advancing the rights of all Africans. It also seriously erodes its independence from AU states. One of the commission’s competences is to grant observer status to NGOs. This entitles an NGO to participate in the commission’s public sessions, and make statements drawing attention to the violation of the rights of the most vulnerable, including sexual and gender minorities.

Imagine a gender equal world; world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all #EmbraceEquity. Celebrate women's achievement. Raise awareness about discrimination. Take action to drive gender parity.

6 Reasons why a deposit is important when buying property Buying a home is one of the best long-term investments most people will ever make. However, taking the first step to make a purchase can sometimes be daunting and even intimidating, more so now with the current unprecedented times we live in. FNB Home Finance Growth Head Mfundo Mabaso, says as a first-time home buyer, the most important thing to consider is whether or not clients can afford to take this big step. “While it is still possible for a bank to grant clients a 100% home loan which does not require a deposit, we strongly encourage our first-time home buyers to consider putting down a minimum deposit of at least 10% of the value of the property to ensure that their home loan repayments are reduced and more manageable.” Guest on the line: Herman Mazibuko, founder Agent Director of Amalga Real Estate Agency

Guest 1 on the line: Roy Havemann -Research Associate, Stellenbosch University The announcement by the South African finance minister, Enoch Godongwana, of debt relief for the country’s troubled power utility, Eskom, is a step forward. It will fix one problem: Eskom has too much debt. But the plan won’t end power cuts which have worsened in recent years. The international experience is that one way to end electricity shortages is to allow competitively-priced privately-funded generation at scale. This requires a reorganisation of South Africa’s electricity market along the lines announced by the Department of Public Enterprises nearly four years ago. The crux of the plan was to split Eskom into three separate units – generation, transmission and distribution, with transmission remaining state-owned. With the announced conditions, which include the requirement that Eskom prioritise capital expenditure in transmission and distribution during the debt-relief period, the finance minister has missed an opportunity to finally achieve this.

Guest 1 on the line: Rowan Terry, Legal Counsel at TPN Credit Bureau There have been numerous complaints in recent years from landlords and neighbours, that tenants are smoking cannabis in their rental property. When neighbours start to complain, landlords are often caught in the middle. Is there really anything they can do to resolve the situation? Can a landlord cancel your lease agreement if you as a tenant are smoking cannabis in your rental property? When it comes to smoking on outside balconies or in common garden areas, what are the rules around smoking cannabis there? What are the legalities around breach of agreement with tenants in this regard? Can your organisation assist landlords with putting together lease agreements that are fair?

What is a home cleansing ritual? A home cleansing ritual is a practice by which believers either banish or forbid negative energies, evil spirits or harmful entities from entering a home. These practices take many shapes and forms, which are dictated by the religious or cultural customs of the individual in question. Who performs these rituals?Home cleansing rituals are often performed by a variety of different cultures and religious groups, and only occur at the request of the homeowner. The ritual is conducted by a spiritually knowledgeable and prepared individual – usually a traditional healer, priest or shaman. Different denominations perform different rituals in accordance with their own belief guidelines and often involve the use of holy or spiritual tools.. Traditional African cultures have rituals unique to them for when someone moves into a new home, and healers may make use of herbs, bones or other natural properties. Christians may make use of holy water and/or incense. Buddhists, Muslims  and Hindi groups also have unique and individual practices that are performed.

One of the things the youth not only in South Africa but in the rest of the world yearns for is ownership. A feeling that young entrepreneur Rashid Thobega had in mind when establishing his footwear brand, Landlords. Landlord’s footwear is a symbol of a new breed and the dawn of young Africans who yearn to possess ownership and participate in decision making, growth strategies and map out the future and build legacies. “I love formal shoes that are well made. The direction was to make the best leather shoe and Theo Baloyi from Bathu made me realize that by designing formal shoes majority of people will be excluded hence I decided to go with a sneaker,” said the owner of Landlord’s footwear, Rashid Thobega.

Guest on the line: Nkosinathi Mahlangu, Portfolio Head of Youth Employment at Momentum Metropolitan Social conversations -SA's decline in unemployment - and why we shouldn't get too excited, yet A few days ago, the government announced a (very small) decrease in SA's official unemployment rate, from 32.9% in the third quarter of 2022 to 32.7% in the fourth quarter of 2022. While any drop in joblessness is good news, Nkosinathi Mahlangu, Portfolio Head of Youth Employment at Momentum Metropolitan, believes that we shouldn't get too excited yet, as there are factors at play that may point to this decrease being temporary, and not a downward trend. He is available to discuss: The current unemployment rate decrease - where were the biggest job gains, and what were the possible factors at play? The reason for the decrease between 2022: Q3 and 2022: Q4, and the impact of seasonality on the hospitality, retail and services industry for youth employment specifically Why we need to look at the upcoming 2023: Q1 & Q2 stats to see if this decline is more than just a seasonal trend The importance of a skills audit, as referenced by the Finance Minister in February's Budget Speech The role of private sector in addressing unemployment

There are more unplanned pregnancies in countries where men hold greater power in society, likely because women don’t have a say in how many children they have. A male birth control pill passed tests of safety and tolerability when healthy men used it daily for a month, and it produced hormone responses consistent with effective contraception, according to researchers at two institutions testing the drug. In a 2019 study from KwaZulu-Natal about men’s attitudes towards family planning, health workers said that including them in the conversation could help to empower women. “It [family planning] ends up being a feminine thing, yet it’s not supposed to be; it’s a family thing,” Family planning - we are speaking about male contraceptives  Suggested Questions: Male sexual health is not often talked about in comparison to female sexual health - why is this? Usually women take the lead when it comes to contraception - but now men can too - what are the options for men in this case? What would your advice be to men when it comes to their sexual health and wellbeing? What are the biggest “threats” to their sexual health? Guest on the line: Dr Nomacete Tshume from Kena Health

Eswatini is a landlocked country bordering South Africa and Mozambique in Southern Africa. Poverty levels have stagnated at high levels in the last five years, with 36.1% of the population of 1.2 million estimated to have been living under the international $2.15 poverty line in 2016 and 2017. Eswatini’s close economic ties to South Africa mean about 85% of its imports and about 60% of its exports depend on its much larger neighbor. It is a member of the Common Monetary Area (CMA), with Lesotho, Namibia, and South Africa. Under the CMA, the Eswatini lilangeni (the domestic currency) is pegged to the South African rand, which is also legal tender in the country. The economy had a strong rebound in 2021, with real GDP growth estimated at 7.9%, up from a 1.6% contraction in 2020. The easing of lockdown measures in 2021 supported export-oriented sectors, as well as the robust recovery in external demand in key destination markets. Though political unrest in June/July 2021 resulted in the destruction of physical assets, theft of inventory, and constrained operational hours, its impact on production was partly mitigated by a Reconstruction Fund, set up by the government to cushion businesses from lasting effects of the damage.

Topic- What are the issues that destroy good relationships or marriages? Guest on the line: Dr. Mashudu David Mbedzi, marriage counsellor and author of the book titled “Married but Intimately Divorced”.

Forgiveness in Families- None of us "does" family perfectly. We sometimes say and do things that offend loved ones. All of us are guilty of "sins" of commission or omission toward those we care about. Forgiveness is an essential part of strong, healthy relationships. Judeo-Christian beliefs teach that nobody is exempt from forgiveness; we should forgive all wrongs that have been done to us, regardless of their severity. The Family: A Proclamation to the World (¶ 7) singles out forgiveness as an essential feature of successful marriages and families. Once thought to be exclusively a religious doctrine, the notion of forgiveness has rapidly movedp beyond religious borders into mainstream society. One definition of forgiveness is the ability to release the mind and the heart from all past hurts and failures, all sense of guilt and loss. Forgiveness enables us to overcome anger and feelings of resentment or a desire to punish or get even with someone who has crossed us. Forgiving involves changing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in relationship to the offender. Bad feelings and judgment toward the offender are reduced, not because they don't "deserve" that treatment, but because we willingly view the offender with compassion, benevolence, and love.

Despite Premier Lesufi’s comment during his State of the Province Address on 20 February that “e-tolls have been scrapped permanently in our province”, the situation remains exactly as it has been since the Finance Minister announced in his October 2022 Medium-Term Budget Policy statement (MTBPS). The e-toll system remains intact and continues to bill motorists every day. "We have heard these comments that the decision has been made and the e-toll scheme is ‘on the verge of being scrapped’ many times over the past few years, and yet nothing has formally changed,” says Wayne Duvenage, OUTA CEO. There appears to be no ending to this debacle and, until the e-toll system is formally turned off, everything that Premier Lesufi and others have stated on this issue remains just words. There are still businesses and individuals who continue to pay their e-toll bills, because they continue to receive their invoices. Some businesses refuse to stop paying until the final decision has been announced to turn the scheme’s billing system off and, until that happens, they remain uncompetitive and subjected to unnecessary expenses. OUTA calls on the four parties (Treasury, Minister of Transport, Sanral and the Gauteng provincial government), who are all party to this never-ending imminent decision, to bring this scheme to a close once and for all. The issue of who will pay for what has gone on for too long now. For finality to be achieved, Sanral must publish a gazette to amend the initial declarations of the Gauteng freeway network as tolled roads. This shouldn’t take longer than a few days. We hope the Minister of Finance will announce the final closure dates in his Budget this week so that we can put this saga behind us once and for all. Guest on the line: Outa CEO Wayne Duvenhage

It’s estimated that load-shedding can cost South Africa over R4 Billion a day. This can be devastating for small businesses.  There are many different ways load-shedding affects small businesses. It really doesn’t matter what the business does or what industry it’s in, it will almost certainly be affected by load-shedding power outages in some way.  Knowing how load-shedding affects small businesses is important for preparing for these incredibly disruptive power cuts. I am Nandisa from a rural area called Ndlangubo. We are a company called Sanamve Foods, we had a chicken start up business but due to load shedding we shut down and worse we had plans for making it but lost 100 chickens🥹💔, now we are shut down completely and lost even the start-up investment we had put into the business.

What are the global egg production stats? China is by far the world’s largest egg producer, with 38 percent of global production, followed by the United States (7 percent) and India (7 percent). Asia is the largest egg-producing region, with more than 64 percent of global output. In South Africa: The demand for poultry which has been seen through an increasing demand for eggs and broilers over the last 30 years. Each year, South Africans “in average” they eat minimum of 140 eggs and 33.8% of chicken meat, however, the fast-growing population of South Africa will outrun the supply of eggs which will results in increase of egg import from abroard which will likely have a negative impact to local economy. According to DAFF, the per capita consumption for 2017 was 128.2 eggs or 7.65 kg, compared to 141.4 or 8.39 kg in 2016. Therefore, there has been a decline of 8.8 eggs compare to average minimum (137) egg consumption. Furthermore, in 2017, South Africa has imported 483.9 tonnes (includes chicken eggs, including shell eggs and egg products); meaning 267.4 tonnes more (+123.5%) compare to year 2016.

Struggle veteran Peter Jones, who was the last person to see Steve Biko alive when they were arrested by apartheid police, has died after suffering a stroke. Jones had been involved in the Struggle in the 1970s and part of the generation of leaders that fought against apartheid. Biko and Jones were leaders of the Black People’s Convention and were arrested in a roadblock on their way to Cape Town in 1977. That was the last time that Jones saw his comrade alive and Biko would later die in prison. The two men had been on a mission to unite liberation movements at the time.
