The Phala Phala saga refuses to die and now the political stakes are higher than ever. What started with a burglary at President Cyril Ramaphosa’s farm has become a battle over presidential accountability, Parliament’s power and the credibility of South Africa’s institutions. Is this about uncovering the truth and holding the President to account, or has Phala Phala become a political weapon to weaken Ramaphosa and ultimately bring him down? this morning Kefentse Mkhari is in conversation with Political Scientist, Tshepang Magabe to look into whether the president being head hunted to has to be held accountable.

POLITICAL ZONE: IS PHALA PHALA ABOUT HOLDING THE PRESIDENT ACCOUNTABLE OR BRINGING HIM DOWN

September is Suicide Prevention Month, a time to have the conversations that are often uncomfortable, painful, and sometimes avoided altogether. When someone dies by suicide, the loss doesn’t end with the person who has passed. Families and loved ones are left behind carrying grief, confusion, anger, unanswered questions and, often, a painful sense of guilt asking themselves, “Could I have done something differently”. But grief after suicide is complicated, and there is no single way to process it. This morning, we want to create space for that conversation. We’ll look at what happens to the people left behind, how families can support one another, how they can work through guilt and blame, and why seeking professional help can be an important part of healing.

HEALTH ZONE: WHEN GRIEF COMES WITH GUILT - HEALING AFTER A LOVED ONE DIES BY SUICIDE

Leadership is often seen as something you earn through experience, confidence, influence or simply
being given a position of authority. But what if leadership is more than a skill? What if, for some people, it is a spiritual gift, something they are called and equipped by God to carry? And if leadership is a gift, does that automatically make every person in a position of power a leader? This morning, we’re exploring the difference between being appointed and being called, between having authority and having influence, and what true spiritual leadership should look like. Kefentse Mkhari is in conversation with Spiritual Coach, Bongani Maposa

SPIRITUAL ZONE: IS LEADERSHIP A SPIRITUAL CALLING

Schools are supposed to be places where children learn, grow and feel protected, but what happens
when the people responsible for teaching them no longer feel safe themselves? From violence and bullying to weapons, drugs and increasingly difficult classroom behaviour, South Africa’s teachers are facing challenges that go far beyond education. So, if we are serious about creating safe schools, shouldn’t protecting teachers be just as important as protecting learners? Kefentse Mkhari is in conversation with Education Activist and Journalist, Galalestang Lelaka to look into what would it take to make South African schools truly safe for everyone?
