Africa Day is often filled with celebration, colour and pride, but beneath the spirit of unity, there’s a growing tension that continues to threaten the African dream. Afrophobia and xenophobia have become painful reminders of how quickly fear, frustration and economic hardship can turn neighbour against neighbour. We are in conversation with African Political Campaigns Expert,  Elvis Mugari as we unpack how afrophobia and xenophobia continue to divide communities, damage social cohesion and weaken the vision of a united Africa. We also explore what fuels these attitudes and how they affect ordinary lives.

AFRICA DAY: How Afrophobia and Xenophobia threatens unity in Africa.

World Blood Cancer Day, observed every year on 28 May, is a global initiative to raise awareness for blood cancers like leukaemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and blood disorders such as aplastic anaemia and sickle cell disease. In South Africa, someone is diagnosed every hour, and for many, a stem cell transplant is their only chance of survival. Unfortunately, around 70% of patients don’t have a matching donor in their family, relying on strangers to step forward.  We are in conversation with the Head of Community Engagement and Communication, at DKMS Africa,  Palesa Mokomele about the warning signs people should never ignore, the emotional and financial impact of blood cancer, and why awareness and community support remain critical in improving survival and giving hope to thousands of patients across South Africa and the world.

Music has long been more than entertainment. In many communities, it becomes a lifeline especially for young people who are often surrounded by poverty, violence and limited opportunities, creative spaces can become powerful tools for hope and transformation. For our feel good corner, we are hanging out with some of the students from the Morris Isaacson Centre for Music. The centre, which teaches more than 340 learners between the ages of four and 18, is not only nurturing musical talent, but also building community, providing psychosocial support while creating safe spaces for young people to dream beyond their circumstances. We speak to Mduduzi Mahlase who is the Centre Administrator at the Morris Isaacson Centre for Music.
