They started as a diabetes medication. Now they're being called a revolution in weight loss, and they're changing the conversation around obesity, willpower, and how we understand hunger itself. GLP-1 injections, drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, have gone from niche medical treatment to global
phenomenon, and South Africans are taking notice. But are they a breakthrough or a shortcut? And who really needs them? Joining us today is wellness expert Ronald Abvajee, here to cut through the
noise.

A woman trips on a broken paving brick in Camps Bay. She suffers a serious knee injury. She takes the City of Cape Town to court. And she loses. The Western Cape High Court judgment in Schaefer versus the City of Cape Town has just redefined what it takes to hold a municipality legally accountable. And the implications go far beyond one pavement in Camps Bay. Potholes. Collapsed buildings. Uninspected tuck shops. Understaffed clinics. Who is responsible when municipalities fail, and what does the law actually say? Legal expert Thabo Masombuka is here to break it down.

1. DR Congo – Ituri Province
• Ituri Province remains the centre of the Ebola outbreak, with the
Bundibugyo strain having no approved vaccine or treatment. Traditional
healers claim they can cure the disease. Could indigenous medicine play
a role in fighting outbreaks, or should treatment rely solely on modern
science?

2. Namibia – Windhoek
• A new international dance festival, Movement, is set to bring dancers
from Namibia, South Africa, Botswana and Reunion Island together in
Windhoek. Can cultural festivals like this help grow creative industries
and create opportunities for young artists across Africa?
3. Did You Know? Namibia Edition
• Namibia enjoys around 300 days of sunshine a year and is home to the
San, the world's oldest surviving hunter-gatherer community.

Best-selling cars and bakkies- When we talk about the best-selling cars and bakkies for
May, what story does that tell us about South African drivers right now?
Follow-Up Questions:
It seems like bakkies are still dominating, but SUVs are also right up there—why do you
think those two segments are still leading the pack?”
And is it fair to say people are now buying vehicles that can do two jobs—school run
during the week, gravel roads on the weekend?

New launch spotlight – Toyota RAV4
One of the big talking points this month is the new Toyota RAV4—what’s new about it
that buyers should actually care about?
Follow-up: Toyota keeps pushing this idea of reliability and now hybrid tech—do you
think that’s what’s keeping it ahead in the SUV space? And honestly, how does it
compare to some of the newer competitors coming into the market?”

Fix My Kasi – real road realities
When we talk about ‘Fix My Kasi’, it really brings us back to road conditions in many
communities—which area are you focussing on today?

South Africa is bursting with entrepreneurial talent but talent alone doesn't pay the bills. Billions are pledged, programs are launched, yet the funding gap refuses to close. Today we're getting real about why.
