In light of this, a group of civil society organizations and academics have urged President Cyril Ramaphosa to immediately release three large, well-located and vacant military sites in Cape Town for the development of low-income housing.

In his address to the nation on 20 April, President Cyril Ramaphosa in fact said: “There can be no greater injustice than a society where some live in comfort and plenty, while others struggle at the margins to survive with little or nothing at all.”

Nowhere is this injustice clearer than in access to land and housing. So why is the state not using well-located urban land which it owns to house people in this time of crisis? Is this feasible…if not, why not?

That’s our Burning Issue tonight.

In a historic show of unity, the two biggest labour federations in the country - the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) and the South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) - who collectively represent close to three million workers, will be embarking on a national strike against corruption and unemployment.

While Cosatu’s protest action and stay-away would take place tomorrow only, Saftu leaders unveiled a programme of mass action that would last until the end of November.

At a time when 2,2 million jobs were lost during the second quarter of this year, largely due to the covid19 pandemic, what impact will this strike have? And is it too little to late?

Lieutenant Colonel was brutally gunned down outside his home in Bishop Lavis in what appears to have been a well-orchestrated hit. He had been investigating several cases linked to known underworld figures, and despite this, had no police protection.

In the wake of this tragic murder, questions are being asked about the extent of police corruption and the criminal underworld’s tentacles in the police force. Is a shift needed in the police service? Why should SAPS further strengthen anti-corruption and integrity structures and measures? And how does this corruption affect communities dealing with the daily trauma of crime and violence?

That's what we hope to unpack in Burning Issue this evening:

The South African Police Service says Nathaniel was killed during a confrontation between police officers and gang members. But eyewitness have a different account and say the boy had gone to a shop to buy food and that there was no gang shooting or violent activity at the time he was shot.

A male and female police officer appeared in court yesterday and now face charges of premeditated murder, defeating the ends of justice, discharging a firearm in a public space and unlawful possession of ammunition. Whether they will be brought to book, we will have to wait and see.

But Nathaniel's senseless death has again placed police brutality in the national spotlight.

A few months ago, South Africans were shocked by the brutal murder of Collins Khosa, who was beaten to death in his Alexandra home by SANDF members, during the Covid-19 lockdown.

Last month, a rubber bullet killed nine-year-old Leo Williams from St Helena bay. Leo was sitting inside his uncle's house watching TV when he was hit in the head as police clashed with protesters outside.

Just recently, eight-year-old Clarence Solomons lost his life during a protest over a house demolition, after being hit by a stray bullet law enforcement.

At the weekend, we saw a gender-based violence protest in the Cape Town CBD descend into chaos when police used excessive force on protestors.

Why are we seeing a rise in police brutality? Have communities lost their trust in the police? Why is achieving justice for victims of police violence difficult? And what is the interlinkage between racial injustice and police brutality towards people of colour?
Those are some of the burning questions we ask in Burning Issue tonight. ]]> News Tue, 01 Sep 2020 19:00:00 +0200 0 0 Police brutality in SA: Why we need accountability? 0 0 Yazeed Kamaladien full 1:15:03 Burning Issue https://iono.fm/e/914099 https://iono.fm/e/914099
Last year, this became a contentious issue after a complaint was levelled to the City of Cape Town over the athaan at Zeenatul Islam masjid in District Six.

Just recently, a resident from Isipingo Beach launched an application in the Durban High Court in which he scathingly criticised Islam and asked the court to stop the Adhan nationally and to shut down a local madressa which he says has infringed upon his right to dignity.

Why are these complaints emerging and what is at stake?

These headlines point to the increased risk women in these relationships face under lockdown conditions. The fear is that they are trapped inside with their abusers, unable to leave, escape or reach out for help.

We are also confronted with the scourge of sexual violence in our society. In the most recent release of the crime statistics before Parliament, the South African Police Service revealed that during the reporting period April 2019 to March 2020, there were 53,293 sexual offences. These included rapes, sexual assaults and other crimes.

Has the COVID-19 lockdown exacerbated the abuse of women? Why is gender -based violence a pandemic on its own? That’s our burning issue tonight:

Recently, our news has been dominated by reports of lady land occupation attempts in Cape Town, which have descended into violence and chaos.

The City of Cape Town says it has dealt with 260 incidents of alleged illegal land occupation between April and July's lockdown. The Western Cape government says these are "highly coordinated and sophisticated" incidents.

Attempts to illegally occupy land, City projects or community facilities include several orchestrated attempts in Kraafontein, Mfuleni, Khayelitsha, Delft, Dunoon, Firgrove (Macassar), Milnerton and Nyanga among others.

In various incidents this past week, shacks were erected on open pieces of land, but law enforcement authorities dismantled these dwellings – which resulted in clashes.

What is at the root of these land invasions? How should the government respond? And what does the law say about the invasion of land?

Those are the questions we ask in tonight’s show

Due to lockdown restrictions, such as the closure of borders, South African Muslims who were planning on embarking on hajj, will no longer be able to do so.

George Floyd’s death is just another senseless murder of black citizens, who are victims of systemic racism and police brutality. For this reason, the Black Lives Matter movement galvanized together for solidarity protests around the world – even in South Africa- highlighting the global fight against anti-black racism, discrimination and oppression.

But if we look closer to home, we had a similar case right here on our doorstep. Collins Khosa, a 40-year-old resident of Alexandra township, was killed by the SANDF at the start of the lockdown.

Why was there was no real outrage? Do black lives not matter in South Africa? And what is the role of the Muslim community in all of this? Is it time we confront anti-black racism from within the Muslim community?

As we know, the phased reopening of schools is set to start with the return of Grade 7 and 12 learners on Monday 1st of June, while school management teams (SMTs) returned yesterday. Already, several trade unions are up in arms over the Department of Basic Education’s decision – with the Educators Union of South Africa (Eusa) taking the government to court. Eusa says Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga and her department misled the public about supplying personal protective equipment and guaranteeing the safety of pupils and teachers.

Former DA Leader Mmusi Maimane joined thousands of parents who are against their kids returning to school by launching a petition and within hours, thousands of parents showed their support. He has now called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to react after the petition gathered over 150 000 signatures.

Over the past three weeks there have been distressing images of people clamouring for food parcels at distribution centres and of community protests against food shortages. Recently, we saw the looting of stores and trucks, which reflects how severe the food shortage has become.

Many non-governmental organisations did, very early in the lock-down, warn about the impact of the lock-down on already fragile food security amongst vulnerable communities.

Interestingly, In his weekly letter to the nation yesterday, President Ramaphosa offered a frank assessment of the current situation nearly a month into the lock-down.

He said government chose to “err on the side of caution” when implementing state of disaster measures that critics have said have inflicted more damage than necessary to the economy. His letter strongly hinted at the possibility that many people will be allowed to return to various jobs at the end of April when the extension of the lock-down ends.

The president admitted that the inequalities and hunger being highlighted by the covid19 outbreak are not just because of the apartheid past but because of a “fundamental failing in our post-apartheid society”.

He promised that he would shortly provide more clarity on the direct measures that will be taken to ensure that the most vulnerable South Africans don’t have to worry about where their next meal may be coming from.

So this is exactly what we want to unpack this evening. We are asking the question “why South Africa is facing a food crisis?” ]]> News Tue, 21 Apr 2020 19:00:00 +0200 0 0 Why South Africa is facing a food crisis? 0 0 Yazeed Kamaladien full 1:04:08 Burning Issue https://iono.fm/e/840044 https://iono.fm/e/840044
But while the majority of South Africans have heeded the call to stay at home, there are certain communities, or perhaps pockets of people in certain areas, who are not adhering to the national regulations. The president even mentioned this in his speech last night, saying “we are concerned about those who have not yet appreciated the seriousness of this disease.”

In Cape Town, authorities have found it difficult managing the lockdown on the cape flats and township areas. Why is the lockdown not being adhered to in our townships? And how should authorities respond?

One of the most frequently asked questions this past week following government’s announcement of the Disaster Management regulations is how Muslim janazahs will be carried out. At first, we were told funerals must have less than 100 people, in accordance with the president’s advisory on social distancing. But of course, that rule will change under the lockdown conditions.

Besides the actual numbers, there is also the matter of dealing with the mayet.

Can a person who has died of COVID-19 infect others? The answer to this is a resounding yes, according to the experts. So this is why tonight’s topic is vitally important.

Thus far, very little clarity has been given by authorities on this very matter, and that is something we hope to uncover in Burning Issue this evening.

The kingdom, which hosts the two holiest sites of Islam in Mecca and Medina, welcomes millions of Muslim visitors throughout the year with a peak for the hajj pilgrimage. It introduced a new tourism visa last October for 49 countries.

The ministry of foreign affairs said in a statement last week that the suspensions were temporary but provided no timeframe for its expiry. It was unclear if the hajj pilgrimage, which is scheduled to begin in late July, would be impacted.

Entry is also suspended for visits to the Prophet's Mosque in Medina. ]]> News Tue, 03 Mar 2020 19:00:00 +0200 0 0 Umrah Suspension 0 0 Yazeed Kamaladien full 1:04:46 Burning Issue https://iono.fm/e/822321 https://iono.fm/e/822321
The suspect, a 54 year old man named Moehydien Pangaker, evaded police for 10 days before he was arrested in Cradock. He is a known sex offender who had been released on parole for a similar crime and a host of other crimes dating back to the early 1980’s.

As the collective anger mounts in the wake of Tazne’s murder, there is a bigger question to ask around the criminal justice system and parolees. How is it that a known sexual offender was released on parole and not closely monitored? Why are communities not informed when criminals are given parole? And of what use is the correctional system, when criminals recommit crimes?

During the festive season, when umrah travel picks up in South Africa, serious issues with umrah operators often surfaces. Recently on air, our news team has been covering the story of New Heights travel, an umrah operator which owes more then R4 million to many mu’tamireen, most of whom were meant to travel in September this year. Their trips were cancelled by the operator Fazila Malek due to new changes in the visa system. These pilgrims are now taking legal action.

Tonight, on Burning Issue we ask the question, who holds defaulting travel umrah operators accountable? And what is needed to seriously tighten the industry?


In-studio, we have Sedick Steenkamp, chairperson of the SA Travel Haj Operators Association (Sathoa) and a little bit later on, we’ll chat to Shaheen Essop from the South African Haj and Umrah Council (SAHUC).

But their challenges didn’t stop there. It took two decades for restitution to be completed and in a classic David versus Goliath story, the Solomon family trust faced numerous objections in the establishment of its first commercial venture on the land, the Constantia Emporium

Community Safety MEC Albert Fritz said two weeks ago that 1 600 bodies of murder victims had been counted at mortuaries between January and June, with many of them being victims of gang violence.

Talk-shop after talk-shop, and countless meetings by police minister Bheki Cele with communities, and yet the crisis continues.

But local activists say the police needs to get their house in order, as the Anti-Gang Unit has not been effective. We’ve heard numerous reports of infighting, budgeting and capacity constraints and even minister Bheki Cele admitted last month that the unit did not have enough officers. The Mitchells Plain CPF Cluster wants Cele to place the Western Cape under administration.

From videos gone viral to news reports, onlookers at crime scenes are becoming younger as adults often drag children along.

In Cape Town, violence in the classroom has become the norm. Teachers have to deal with learner on learner violence, drug abuse, gangsterism but also aggression from rebellious learners who refuse to cooperate. In most cases, educators are not equipped to deal with anti-social behavior.

The San Souci video has certainly opened up a much bigger conversation about discipline in schools and what educators have to deal with in the South African classroom.

Are teachers losing authority in the classroom? Should they reclaim their place in the classroom?

Authorities have had their hands full as the turf war unfolds in different areas. Tonight we want to understand what are the shifts or formations in gang territories that is resulting in this upsurge in shootings.

At the same time, we have political parties such as the DA entering the fray, urging government to deploy the SA defence force to the gang hotspots. DA leader Mmusi Maimane led a march to the Nyanga police station on Thursday, telling the crowd of demonstrators that failure to do so was "continuously putting the lives of residents at risk".
You will remember that at the height of gang violence last year, former police minister Fikile Mbalula promised that the army would be deployed to protect communities. This week, police minister Bheki Cele briefed the media and said the army will not be a viable option, as its not trained for that purpose.
So tonight, we unpack this issue with several guests instudio

The suspect was quickly evacuated by police.
Tempers flared in Eastridge again last night as a group of residents again gathered outside the home, and this time, they destroyed the wendy house, where Stacey had lived. Some of the residents that VOC News spoke to, made it very clear that they wanted to avenge Staceys death and they want their own form of justice against the alleged perpetrator.
Remember that this is not the first time we see this type of community reaction to child violence.

The suspect was quickly evacuated by police.
Tempers flared in Eastridge again last night as a group of residents again gathered outside the home, and this time, they destroyed the wendy house, where Stacey had lived. Some of the residents that VOC News spoke to, made it very clear that they wanted to avenge Staceys death and they want their own form of justice against the alleged perpetrator.

A proposed 55.16% increase in water tariffs had residents in an uproar earlier this year. But after consideration and assessment of the City’s draft budget for 2018/19 – the tariff was reduced to 10.10%.
But some believe it’s time for these tariffs to be scrapped, as there is no longer Day Zero. Tonight we unpack the issue with some water activists and also get a response from the City of Cape Town’s deputy mayor Ian Nielsen

More than 55,000 soldiers were recruited by Saudi Arabia in all military, civil, medical and voluntary sectors to work on the success of the pilgrimage season this year.
The Ministry of Hajj through its new minister, who makes deft use of modern technology and modern administrative measures, improved its performance and facilitated the functions of arrival and the movement of pilgrims.
The Ministry of Interior developed the performance of the departments of passports and traffic and civil defense so that the rates of facilitation procedures were very remarkable and distinctive.
But this Haj season was a rather challenging year as we saw temperatures rise to well over 45 degrees, which affected many pilgrims including seasoned Hajis during the days of Haj.

What we know is that fishermen are demanding the immediate suspension of the West Coast rock Lobster fishing rights allocation process.
They want the West Coast rock lobster offshore allocations shifted from big companies to near shore and small scale fishers. We are aware that fishing rights organisations have met with the department of fisheries to address the challenges faced by poor fishing communities.

Metropolitan municipalities of Tshwane and Ekurhuleni brought an application at the Constitutional Court to appeal the Pretoria High Court ruling.

Metrorail is also operating with 60% of its fleet with punctuality dropping by more than 20% and cancellations soaring. This is having a devastating effect on its ability to render a reliable commuter service.

Now according to a new survey conducted by the Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Metrorail is at an all-time low in the opinion of local businesses, with many saying the poor rail service is a threat to their viability. Ninety-two percent of Cape Town businesses believe the Metrorail commuter service is worse today than it was a year ago.

For this segment of the show, we invited Metrorail to come on air and respond to the survey, however, they said they have not reviewed its findings just yet. We plan to get Metrorail’s Rianna Scott on air a little bit later to speak generally about the rail commuters challenges.
