SAMPRA Royalty Case: Pfanani Lishivha ( SAMPRA CEO )

There is a reality many mothers live with but rarely talk about — going without so their children don’t have to. It’s a phenomenon known as maternal buffering, where mothers sacrifice their own
basic needs, including food and water, to ensure their children have something to eat and drink.
When there isn’t enough food on the table, a mother may tell her children she has already eaten, skip a meal or drink less water so that her children can have more. For many women, this isn’t a once-
off sacrifice; it’s a daily reality shaped by poverty, financial pressures and the responsibility of keeping a family going. But what does this kind of sacrifice do to a mother’s physical and emotional well-being? Why do so many women feel compelled to put their children’s needs ahead of their own, even when it means going hungry? And how do we begin to address a reality where mothers are forced to choose between feeding their children and feeding themselves? Tonight, we unpack maternal buffering, the hidden cost of maternal sacrifice, and what it tells us about hunger, motherhood and the
support available to women raising families.

AFTER 8 IS AFTER 8: MATERNAL BUFFERING — WHEN MOTHERS GO WITHOUT SO  THEIR CHILDREN CAN EAT

The arrest of three suspects in connection with the smartwatch belonging to murdered Kempton Park runner Elizabeth “Tsontso” Moselakgomo has brought a new development in a case that has left
a family grieving and a community demanding answers. The 38- year-old mother was last seen on 9 September when she left her home for her usual run. When she failed to return, her eight-year-old
daughter alerted relatives, and a search was launched. Her body was discovered three days later behind a hotel in Rhodesfield, Kempton Park. Now, more than a month after her death, three men have appeared in court over the alleged possession, acquisition and disposal of her Garmin smartwatch. But there is a crucial distinction: none of them has been charged with her murder. While the arrests may offer investigators important leads, the question of who killed Tsontso
remains unanswered. How does her family feel about these latest developments? Do they
see the arrests as progress, or are they still waiting for the answers and accountability they desperately need? And with several women murdered in Ekurhuleni in recent months, can the police reassure families that these investigations are moving closer to justice? We speak to the family of Elizabeth Moselakgomo about their reaction to the arrests, their expectations of investigators, and the long road ahead.

Ekurhuleni Women’s Murders: Does the Latest Arrest Bring  the Family Closer to Justice?

Teachers are entrusted with the responsibility of educating, guiding and protecting learners, particularly those who may be more vulnerable and require additional support. But what happens when the very person entrusted with that responsibility crosses the line? A Western Cape teacher has been dismissed with immediate effect after admitting to sexually harassing an 18-year-old learner at Axios School of Skills and Neurodiverse Center. According to an arbitration award by the Education Labour Relations Council, Xolile Duma repeatedly made romantic advances towards the learner, sent her WhatsApp messages and asked her to give him a chance. The learner attends a school catering for pupils with cognitive difficulties. The commissioner found the educator’s conduct improper,
disgraceful and unacceptable, ruling that he was unsuitable to work with children. The case raises serious questions about professional boundaries, the protection of learners with special needs, and the consequences when educators abuse the trust placed in them. What safeguards are in place to protect vulnerable learners, and how can schools ensure that children are safe in the very environments designed to help them thrive?
