HEALTH WEDNESDAY: UNDERSTANDING BIPOLAR DISORDER

In countries torn by conflict, political deadlock, or deep divisions, one idea keeps coming up again and again: the National Dialogue. It sounds simple bring everyone to the table, talk honestly, and find common ground. But as history shows, it can be anything from a lifeline that saves a nation… to a process that raises hopes only to dash them. Today we’re asking the big questions: What makes a national dialogue succeed where so many others fail? Can inclusive conversations really heal fractured societies? And what can nations in crisis today including our own learn from both the triumphs and the disappointments? We are joined by Makhethe Makamase.

We’re diving into a relationship habit that many of us don’t even realize we’re doing — something called “dry begging.” It’s that moment when you hint, sigh, or make a passing comment, hoping your partner will pick up on what you need… without you actually saying it. Why do we do this? Is it harmless, or can it quietly damage communication and trust over time? To help us unpack it, we’re joined by relationship expert Xolani Gule, who’s here to break down what dry begging really is, why it happens, and how we can build healthier, more honest communication in our relationships.
