Today we explore a deeply inspiring theme, “The Sacred Power of Womanhood.” Womanhood carries within it a unique spiritual strength — qualities such as compassion, intuition, resilience, gentleness, emotional wisdom, and the ability to nurture and uplift. These qualities are not only powerful; they are sacred. They shape families, communities, and the emotional fabric of society. Joining us today is [NAME] from the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University. She will share profound insights on how feminine qualities influence our emotional wellbeing, our relationships,
and our inner world — and how embracing these qualities can help us live more peaceful, balanced, and meaningful lives. And we’d love for you, our listeners, to be part of this conversation. Send us your questions, reflections, or personal experiences as we explore the sacred power of womanhood together. You can WhatsApp us — text or voice note — on [INSERT NUMBER] and share your
thoughts with us. The Brahma Kumaris is a worldwide spiritual organization founded in 1937.
With centers in more than 110 countries, it focuses on meditation, self-transformation, and promoting peace.

The family as we once knew it is changing — and perhaps changing faster than we are prepared to acknowledge. More relationships are ending, more children are growing up between two households, single-parent families are becoming increasingly common, and blended families are creating new
and sometimes complicated dynamics. We have parents trying to co-parent with former partners, step-parents trying to find their place, grandparents stepping in to raise grandchildren, and children often caught in the middle of adult conflict. But rather than simply asking what went wrong with the family,
today we want to ask a more difficult and perhaps more important question: Can we rebuild the family? What does a healthy family look like in 2026? And how do we create family structures where children feel loved, supported and secure, even when relationships between adults have broken down? Today, we’re calling a Big Family Meeting — an honest conversation about what is happening to the modern family and, more importantly, what we can do to change the trajectory.

AFTER 8 IS AFTER 8: THE BIG FAMILY MEETING: CAN WE REBUILD THE FAMILY?

The Phala Phala saga is back in the spotlight — this time with questions being raised about the police officers tasked with investigating the controversial farm burglary. ActionSA is taking on the South African Police Service, challenging what it describes as a flawed disciplinary process that cleared Major General Wally Rhoode and Brigadier Hennie Rekhoto of wrongdoing linked to their handling of the investigation. The party says the SAPS findings contradict conclusions previously reached by independent oversight bodies, including IPID and the Public Protector. ActionSA says it has obtained records of the disciplinary process and believes there are serious unanswered questions about how
evidence was considered — including why some allegations raised by oversight bodies were not properly addressed. So, what exactly happened inside this disciplinary process? Was due process followed, or does this raise fresh questions about accountability within the police service? Tonight, we unpack ActionSA’s legal challenge, the allegations surrounding the SAPS findings, and what this could mean for the long-running Phala Phala saga.

Aviation is an industry built around precision, discipline and some of the most highly trained professionals in the world. But behind the polished uniforms, aircraft, airports and flight decks is an industry that has historically been dominated by men. Today, more women are entering aviation as pilots, engineers, air-traffic controllers, executives, mechanics and other professionals. But getting through the door is only one part of the journey. For some women, the bigger challenge is navigating an environment where they may still be one of very few women in the room. And that raises difficult questions about the culture of the industry. What happens when women challenge the old ways of doing things? Are women given the same opportunities to rise through the ranks? What role does sexism, sexual harassment, discrimination and the abuse of power play? And when women do speak out, are they genuinely protected — or do they risk damaging their careers in an industry where networks and reputations matter? Recent controversies and scandals have once again brought
questions about conduct, accountability and workplace culture in aviation into the spotlight.
So tonight, we&#39;re looking beyond the cockpit and asking a much bigger question: What does it really take for a woman not just to enter aviation, but to survive, succeed and reach the top in an
industry where men have traditionally held most of the power?
