National Planning Commission (NPC) calls for the declaration of an 'energy emergency'

Thabiso Tema, POWER BREAKFAST host, speaks to Senator Douglas Mwonzora – President of the Movement for Democratic Change, about how Human Rights Watch reported that Zimbabwean authorities are deploying violence and intimidation against those opposing constitutional amendments intended to extend the president’s time in office. The proposed changes, which received Cabinet approval last month, could allow 83-year-old President Emmerson Mnangagwa to remain in power until at least 2030, effectively extending his leadership beyond the current legal term limit.

Thabiso Tema, POWER BREAKFAST host, speaks to Dr Wycliffe Nduga Ouma – Financial Economist and Researcher at the Centre on African Philanthropy and Social Investment at Wits, about how South Africa may be overlooking the important role played by non-profit organisations in helping young people find work, largely because there is limited reliable data on how many jobs the sector actually creates.
