POLITICAL CORNER

Over the past few months, a lot of eyes have been on Parliament as the ad hoc committee carried out its work, questioning, debating, and trying to get to the bottom of the accusations made by KZN Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. For many of us watching, it raised just as many questions about accountability, transparency, and whether these processes actually serve the public or just play out as political theatre. This conversation isn’t about giving official answers it’s about hearing from young people. How did they experience it? What did it reveal to them about power, politics, and trust in South Africa right now? We are joined by Molatelo Racheku, Founder of the African Youth Advisory Network, Political and Current Affairs Commentator, and Youth Policy Activist and Jacqui Zimba, Author of Tales of the Azanian Princess, Social commentator

HEALTH WEDNESDAY: COPING STRATEGIES: BUILDING HEALTHIER WAYS TO MANAGE STRESS AND EMOTIONS

The recent surge in two-pot retirement withdrawals has brought South Africa’s growing financial protection gap into sharper focus. While the system offers much-needed short-term relief for individuals under financial pressure, it also raises important questions about the long-term impact on retirement security. Striking the right balance between immediate financial needs and preserving future stability is becoming increasingly complex and critical. We’d like to explore this dynamic further, and your insights would add meaningful depth to the conversation. Independent Financial Consultant Natalie Lebeloane helps us explore the balance between short-term financial relief and long-term retirement security.
