Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa

The political desk with Tshidi Madia: SABC Bill withdrawal, Stilfontein illegal miners

Bongani Bingwa shares this week’s Black Sheep Thinking feature powered by Camissa Asset Management, highlighting how unconventional ideas can transform the world. For decades, high jumpers used traditional techniques like the scissors or straddle, and progress had plateaued. Then Dick Fosbury tried something radically different, jumping backwards and arching his body over the bar in what became known as the Fosbury Flop. Coaches mocked it and judges doubted it, but Fosbury proved them wrong by winning gold at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Gregory Maqoma, one of South Africa’s most celebrated choreographers, about his new production Genesis. This bold dance opera blends movement, live music, and poetry to explore themes of creation, transformation, and the cycle of existence. Premiering in Cape Town, the show comes to the Joburg Theatre from 19 to 22 March, featuring the performers of Vuyani Dance Theatre and a world-class creative team. Known for creating performances that move and challenge audiences, Gregory shares what makes Genesis a journey rather than just a show, and what theatre-goers can expect from this immersive experience.

Gregory Maqoma returns to the stage with ‘Genesis’, a fusion of dance, music and poetry

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Vicki Turner for a roundup of global stories making headlines. They discuss the backlash against Formula One’s planned 2026 car regulations, with reigning champion Max Verstappen among drivers criticising the changes, prompting a response from F1 chief Stefano Domenicali. They also look at a lighter story from the UK, where around 70 competitors took part in the annual wife-carrying race in Dorking, Surrey, a quirky Nordic-inspired contest held around International Women's Day that sees participants race while carrying their partners or teammates up and down a hill.
