We seldom stop to consider the transformative power of the arts and the vital role they play in breaking down social barriers and bridging divides. Art has the unique ability to inspire people to imagine new possibilities, challenge entrenched perspectives, and shape a more inclusive future. We're in conversation with Dr. Paul Bayliss about the exhibitions and artworks to look out for that explore South Africa's history, identity and collective memory. We'll discuss how art helps us confront the past, process shared trauma, and spark meaningful conversations that continue to shape our future.

Exploring South Africa'sHistory Through ART Exhibitions

As South Africa prepares for another local government election cycle, an unsettling pattern often emerges: reports of political intimidation, violent clashes and, in some cases, the assassination of political candidates or public representatives.

We are in conversation with political Analyst,Sandile Swana as we unpack the why? What makes local elections particularly vulnerable to political violence? Is it driven by ideology, or is it more about power, access to resources and control over municipalities?

More than 50% of adult South Africans are overweight or obese, with approximately 68% of women and 31% of men classified as obese. Obesity is linked to a range of serious health conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea and Type 2 diabetes. While weight-loss medications such as GLP-1s have dominated health conversations in recent years, they may not be suitable or effective for everyone, particularly those living with severe obesity. For some individuals, bariatric surgery becomes an option when lifestyle changes and medical interventions have not delivered the desired results. But what factors lead someone to consider this major medical procedure? Who qualifies for it, and what does life look like after surgery? To help us unpack these questions, we are joined by bariatric and laparoscopic surgeon, Dr Nkosikhona Mlimi.
