The Best of Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa

The highlights from each day's breakfast show with Bongani Bingwa.

Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa

Unpacking the DRC conflict

Bongani Bingwa is joined by Vicki Turner to unpack major global stories making headlines. The discussion begins with the aftermath of one of the most intense days of US strikes on Iran, with Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth saying the United States is “winning” its campaign, while decisions about the conflict’s duration rest with President Donald Trump. The conversation also looks at reports that more members of the Iran women's national football team have been granted asylum in Australia after refusing to sing their national anthem before a match against South Korea women's national football team during the Asia Cup. Finally, the team reflects on Italy’s decision to spend €30 million to acquire a rare portrait by Baroque master Caravaggio, depicting Maffeo Barberini, as part of efforts to protect the country’s cultural heritage.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Buhlebendalo, the acclaimed South African singer and songwriter, about her upcoming performance at The Untitled Basement as part of the HER live music series. Known for her rich contralto voice and deeply spiritual sound, Buhlebendalo’s music blends storytelling, healing, and reflections on African identity and ancestry. Through albums like Chosi and Hele, she has explored themes of feminism, culture, and restoration. The HER series celebrates women as band leaders, collaborators, and creative forces across jazz, soul, and contemporary music, and Buhlebendalo joins us in studio to share what audiences can expect from this powerful live performance.
