ACROSS AFRICA:  ZIMBABWEANS GATHER FOR CRUCIAL PUBLIC HEARINGS ON CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BILL

The East London Magistrates’ Court has granted Julius Malema leave to appeal his prison sentence, but dismissed his application to appeal the conviction itself, affirming that he did break the law. Malema was sentenced to five years’ direct imprisonment after being found guilty of violating firearm laws, following viral footage of him discharging a rifle in public at an Economic Freedom Fighters rally in 2018. He has since been released on warning pending the outcome of his appeal.

JULIUS MALEMA SENTENCED  TO FIVE YEARS IMPRISONMENT IN FIREARMS CASE & GRANTED LEAVE TO APPEAL HIS SENTENCE

Thirty-two years after Madiba walked out of prison and citizens stood in those long queues for freedom. We got the vote, we got the Constitution, we got the rainbow flag waving high, but why are so many of us still economically chained in the land of our birth? Political freedom? We got it. Economic freedom? Still fighting for it! This morning, we’re going straight for the throat. Is democracy enough when unemployment is killing dreams, when the land debate is on fire, and when young people feel they have freedom to speak but no freedom to eat? We are joined by Noluthando Sithole - Advocate for active citizery, public policy champion Nkosithethile Bonga - SACP Gauteng Provincial Spokesperson and Nkululeko Nkosi - Prudential and Foreign Tax Lead

YOUTH PARLY: POLITICAL FREEDOM VS ECONOMIC FREEDOM – THE UNFINISHED STRUGGLE

As we move deeper into the colder months, clinics and hospitals are reporting a steady rise in cases of Influenza and it’s raising an important question: are we doing enough to protect ourselves? On this Health Wednesday, we’re unpacking why flu vaccinations are not just a routine recommendation, but a critical line of defence this season. Many people still underestimate the flu, brushing it off as a mild illness, yet it can lead to serious complications especially for children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
