We turn our attention to growing concerns around the state of education in Gauteng, following recent reports highlighting how rising learner enrolment is placing immense pressure on already strained school infrastructure. According to Lebogang Maile, the province’s education system is battling overcrowded classrooms, a shortage of thousands of classrooms, and ageing or inadequate facilities. To unpack these issues and what they mean for communities on the ground, we are joined by Mpho Sesedinyane from South African National Civic Organisation.

This is your health feature, where we break down the issues that affect your body, your mind, and your lifestyle in real time. Today we’re tackling a topic that has become increasingly common, especially among young people, vaping. Many people see it as “safer” than smoking, but is that really true? We’re asking the important questions this morning: What actually happens inside the body when someone vapes? What chemicals are involved? And how does vaping compare to traditional cigarette smoking when it comes to long-term health risks and addiction?
