Kefentse Mhkari spoke to Dr. Makoma Grace Makhurupetje - Speaker of the Limpopo Provincial Legislature.

Before the 2024 General Election, a Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) survey revealed a concerning trend: 47% of young South Africans believed their vote would not make a difference. As the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) gears up for its final voter registration round on 1 and 2 August 2026, we must actively counter this disillusionment. We need to amplify messaging that reassures young people that participating in the democratic process will not break the country. Ultimately, it is far better to cast a vote and risk making a mistake than to abstain completely. Colleen Makhubele spoke to Noxolo Gwala - International Programme Officer at Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in Africa, Goodenough Mashego – Independent Political Analyst and Lulu White - Election Management Consulting Agency of Africa.

This winter in KwaZulu-Natal, sugar cane sits uncut in the fields because there is no one to harvest it—a baffling sight in a country where 8.1 million South Africans are searching for work and coming up empty. In one of the most unemployed societies on Earth, essential work is going undone due to what appears on the surface to be a severe labor shortage. At first glance, this dynamic looks like a classic economic paradox. In reality, it signals something far more fundamental: a labor market that has ceased to function as a market altogether. Colleen Makhubele spoke to Dominique Martin – Food and Allied Workers Union, Bennie van Zyl – The Fortress for the Commercial Farmers South Africa and Ntsako Shivambu Political Analystand Halalisani Ndlovu ActionSA Provincial Campaign Manager.
