Minister of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities Sindisiwe Chikunga, says that the inaugural Gender Based Violence study, has given insight into how people in different types of relationships experience gender based violence. She was reacting to the findings of a study released on Monday by the Human Sciences Research Council(HSRC)- which revealed that more than seven- million South African women, have experienced physical and emotional violence in their lifetime. One of the highlights was also that 70% of South African men would like to see the women in their lives to obey them. So we are using this hour now to find out how we should interpret this report seeing that we are in 2024, and how do we balance cultural, societal and religious norms that dictate how we man should consent.

I Wish Somebody Told Me

The National Treasury has just published a policy review on the taxation of alcoholic beverages South Africa. This review may change the minimum unit price of alcohol and this may inform how alcohol may be taxed in the upcoming budget for 2025. This review could become a key intervention that may change accessibility and prevalence of alcohol in communities.National Treasury has opened the review for public comment to get inputs on how the introduction of minimum unit pricing can help reduce alcohol abuse and find policy interventions that can reflect its commitment to harm reduction.

Our next guest argues that minimum unit price for alcoholic beverages wouldnot only lead to better health outcomes but it would address other social harms affected by high alcohol consumption such as interpersonal violence, self-harm and road accidents. Minimum Unit Pricing may also save government close to R600 million, if implemented (law enforcement, emergency and healthcare resources). To share the implications of this development and tell us why this is a potential game-changer for public health, we are joined by...

Friday Wind Down with Zoe Modiga

Last week President Cyril Ramaphosa unveiled King Shaka’s statue at KwaZulu-Natal’s King Shaka International Airport. He said that the AmaZulu King’s legacy of a statesman and unifier is still relevant for present-day South Africa. The 11 metre high statue took 14 years in the making, as the initial aim was to have a statue honouring King Shaka at the airport during the 2010 soccer World Cup. Interestingly, we received a voice note from one of our listeners asking about the true history of King Shaka and whether the Zulu nation was named by him or came after his death? Let’s take a listen….
