Beyond the Headlines: Why Child Protection Systems Are Failing

South Africa is grappling with a construction crisis that has resulted in a tragic spate of deaths and injuries between 2024 and 2026, as a series of building collapses occurring across the country. With Gauteng, KwaZulu Natal, and the Western Cape bearing the brunt of these catastrophic incidents, it becomes evident that systemic failures, regulatory lapses, and deep-seated corruption are to blame. We are joined by Construction expert, Lerato Magome, to look into what could be the solutions around this issue

HOW DO CONSTRUCTION INCIDENTS EXPOSE SYSTEMIC FAILURES AND CORRUPTION IN SOUTH AFRICA

As South Africa prepares to celebrate Freedom Day and continues to remember important days such as Youth Day on June 16, it is important for young people to understand the history behind these national commemorations. These days are not only public holidays; they are moments for the nation to reflect on the struggles, sacrifices, and courage that helped shape the democratic South Africa we live in today. Through oral history listening to and recording the memories of those who experienced events such as Apartheid and the Soweto Uprising, young people can gain a deeper understanding of the country’s past. Oral history therefore plays a vital role in preserving these voices, ensuring that the lessons of South Africa’s journey to freedom are remembered and passed on to future generations.

WHY SOUTH AFRICAN ORAL HISTORY MATTERS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Across many Southern African cultures, life purpose is not always viewed as something fixed at birth or determined solely by personal choice. Instead, purpose can unfold gradually, shaped by community, spirituality, and the presence of ancestors. This conversation therefore explores the idea that purpose may not be fixed, but rather shaped through an ongoing relationship between the individual, their life experiences, and, in some traditions, the influence of their ancestors. By looking at beliefs surrounding ancestral guidance, dreams, illness, recurring patterns, and spiritual callings such as ukuthwasa, We’re joined by Spiritual coach, Khumo Magane.
