		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1675206</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1675206</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[President Cyril Ramaphosa is facing renewed pressure as ActionSA prepares to lay criminal charges linked to the controversial Phala Phala farm saga. The party claims the amount stolen during the 2020 burglary may have been as high as R15 million, far more than previously reported and says this raises serious questions about alleged misrepresentation and non-disclosure. The move follows last week’s Constitutional Court ruling that revived the possibility of a parliamentary impeachment inquiry, thrusting the scandal back into the national spotlight. ActionSA leaders are expected to open the case in Bela Bela on Wednesday, accusing the president of fraud, perjury and violations of anti-corruption laws. Phemelo speaks to Matakanye Matakanye. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kayafm</a>]]></description>

		<title>R80bn spent, but where are the commuters? SA’s struggling BRT systems spark outrage</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1675205</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1675205</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[South Africans are demanding answers after revelations that nearly R80 billion has been spent on Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems over the past two decades, despite relatively low commuter uptake. The controversy gained momentum following concerns over near-empty Rea Vaya stations in Johannesburg, with critics questioning whether taxpayers are getting value for money. Figures discussed on 702 reveal that only around 152,000 passengers use BRT services nationwide, compared to the almost eight million South Africans who rely on taxis every day. Rea Vaya officials insist the project remains part of a long-term integrated transport plan, but with billions already spent and operating costs running into tens of millions monthly, frustration over government spending and failed infrastructure projects continues to grow. Phemelo speaks to OUTA CEO Wayne Duvenage. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kayafm</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A dramatic decline in teenage pregnancies across South Africa has left researchers both encouraged and searching for answers. A new study published in the South African Medical Journal found births among girls aged 10 to 19 dropped by 16% between 2021 and 2025, with pregnancies among girls aged 10 to 14 falling by nearly 40%. Researchers say the shift reverses years of rising numbers seen across every province. But while the decline appears to be positive news, experts warn the data raises major questions about public health, education planning and gender-based violence trends. Phemelo speaks to Wits University public health researcher Dr Peter Barron about the findings and what could be driving the unexpected turnaround. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kayafm</a>]]></description>

She’s asked Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana to bring in National Treasury to probe alleged procurement irregularities, after reports a little-known publisher, registered just days before the bid, secured a major slice of the contract. With learning materials for 13.7 million pupils at stake, Gwarube warns the integrity of the system and learners’ constitutional right to education could be on the line.

		<title>Cape Town clinic fraud probe over stolen patient files</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1668405</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1668405</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[A fraud investigation is underway in Cape Town after allegations that clinic staff are selling patient folders to help people illegally access social grants. Patients say missing files have blocked them from receiving legitimate support, with some claiming they were told their records had been sold. The claims have raised concerns about a possible syndicate operating within public health facilities, prompting a SASSA probe.

This comes after he was sentenced to five years’ direct imprisonment after being found guilty last year on five firearm-related charges linked to a 2018 rally, including unlawful discharge of a firearm in a public area. Malema, who is appealing the sentence, also accused the magistrate of bias and claimed external forces were influencing the case.

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1665559</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1665559</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[As South Africa marks 30 years since the first Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings and prepares to commemorate Freedom Day - questions around justice, redress and unfinished business remain. This month, President Cyril Ramaphosa launched the TRC Housing Assistance Reparations Initiative in Ndwedwe, aimed at providing housing support to victims of apartheid identified through the TRC process. It’s a move framed as long-overdue implementation of the commission’s recommendations, but it also raises broader questions about how far the country has come in delivering meaningful freedom, particularly for those still living in poverty. Phemelo is in conversation with Senior International Law Fellow at MADRE, Wendy Isaack to unpack whether this initiative goes far enough in addressing historical injustices. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kayafm</a>]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1665558</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[More than a decade after the deaths of at least 141 psychiatric patients, there may finally be accountability in the Life Esidimeni tragedy. The National Prosecuting Authority has confirmed it will pursue charges, including culpable homicide, following a 2024 inquest that found former Gauteng health MEC Qedani Mahlangu and mental health director Makgabo Manamela liable for some of the deaths. The patients died between 2015 and 2016 after being moved from Life Esidimeni facilities to unlicensed NGOs as part of a cost-cutting exercise, many left without adequate care, food or medication. Phemelo speaks to SECTION27’s Tendai Mafuma and Life Esidimeni Family Committee spokesperson Christine Nxumalo about what this long-awaited step toward justice means for families. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kayafm</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Democratic Alliance is betting on youth to reshape its political future. At its 2026 Federal Congress on Sunday, the party unveiled one of the youngest leadership teams in the country - signalling a clear generational shift. With leaders largely in their thirties, the DA says it’s building momentum to dominate metros in the next local elections and ultimately position itself as the country’s largest party by 2029. Geordin Hill-Lewis takes over as Federal Leader, alongside Solly Msimanga as Federal Chairperson.

		<description><![CDATA[South Africa’s apex court is edging closer to a highly anticipated ruling on the controversial Phala Phala matter involving President Cyril Ramaphosa. The Constitutional Court of South Africa has confirmed that judgment is at an advanced stage and is expected within the next month. The case centres on whether Parliament acted unlawfully in its handling of the scandal. At the heart of the matter is the Economic Freedom Fighters’s bid to have Parliament’s decision, not to adopt the Section 89 panel report or pursue impeachment proceedings - declared irrational and unlawful.

		<description><![CDATA[The Democratic Alliance says the deployment of SANDF troops in Cape Town’s gang hotspots is already failing- just a week after it began. This comes after eight people, including three children, were shot in Mitchells Plain on Tuesday. The DA says 36 people have been killed since the army’s arrival, raising concerns about a lack of strategy and too few boots on the ground. Phemelo speaks to Portfolio Committee on Police Chairperson, Ian Cameron. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kayafm</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nine classrooms at Riverlea Secondary School in Gauteng have been destroyed in an overnight fire, affecting more than 300 learners. Education MEC Lebogang Maile has condemned the incident as criminal and “unjustifiable” following a walkabout at the school. While Grades 10 to 12 continue with lessons, Grades 8 and 9 learners have been moved to the school hall as temporary plans are put in place. Maile says there can be no excuse for targeting a school, warning that such acts must be strongly condemned. Phemelo speaks to Gauteng Education MEC spokesperson Onwabile Lubhelwana. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kayafm</a>]]></description>
