		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1735547</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1735547</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[As South Africa prepares for the 2026 Local Government Elections on 4 November, the focus is on encouraging young people to take an active role in shaping the future of their communities. Local government plays a direct role in people's everyday lives, from the provision of basic services such as water, electricity and sanitation to the maintenance of roads and the development of local infrastructure. However, despite being among the most important stakeholders in the country's future, young people can become disengaged from the electoral process, particularly when frustration over unemployment, service delivery and political leadership influences their confidence in voting. <br />
Deputy Minister in the Presidency Nonceba Mhlauli has called on young South Africans to turn out and vote, stressing that choosing not to participate means allowing others to make decisions on their behalf. This conversation will explore why young people should not underestimate the power of their vote, how local government decisions affect their daily lives, and what responsibility elected leaders have in addressing the concerns of younger generations. It will also examine how young voters can move beyond election day and remain actively involved in holding their local representatives accountable. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the 2026 academic year approaches its final examination period, university students are facing one of the most demanding times of the year. Between preparing for examinations, completing outstanding assignments, meeting academic deadlines and managing the expectations placed on them, many students find themselves physically and emotionally exhausted. For some, the pressure to perform academically is accompanied by financial difficulties, family responsibilities and the uncertainty of what life after graduation will look like.<br />
Academic stress is often considered a normal part of university life, but there is a growing concern about how easily students have become accustomed to functioning under constant pressure. Long study hours, inadequate sleep, anxiety about results and the fear of academic failure can affect students' ability to concentrate, retain information and perform effectively. This raises an important question: when does the pressure associated with studying move beyond ordinary academic stress and become burnout? <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Varsity Vibe is a student-focused platform that connects students with discounts and deals from businesses across various sectors, including restaurants, retail, entertainment and lifestyle. By giving students access to more affordable products and experiences, the platform addresses the financial pressures many young people face while studying. However, beyond helping students save money, Varsity Vibe presents an interesting business model built around connecting a specific consumer market with businesses looking to attract new customers.<br />
At the centre of this conversation is how Varsity Vibe generates revenue while offering students discounts. When businesses agree to provide reduced prices, they are effectively investing in the opportunity to reach a student audience and encourage spending. This raises important questions about how the platform secures business partnerships, demonstrates value to participating businesses, and turns its growing student base into a commercially valuable market. Understanding student spending habits and consumer behaviour may also create opportunities for businesses to tailor their products and marketing strategies to younger customers.<br />
For young entrepreneurs, Varsity Vibe offers an opportunity to explore how a business can solve a real problem while remaining financially sustainable. From attracting and retaining users to managing partnerships, growing revenue and ensuring that discounts remain commercially viable, the platform highlights the balance between customer value and profitability. The conversation will unpack what it takes to build and scale a student-focused business, while exploring the lessons aspiring entrepreneurs can learn about identifying a market need, developing a sustainable business model and turning an idea into a profitable venture. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[South Africa’s trade relationship with the United States has come under renewed pressure following the reported decision by US President Donald Trump to terminate South Africa’s participation in the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). The programme provides eligible African countries with preferential access to the American market, allowing qualifying products to enter the US under reduced or zero tariffs. For South African businesses, this access has helped create export opportunities and maintain commercial relationships with American buyers.<br />
The termination raises concerns about the potential economic consequences for South African industries that depend on exports to the United States. Sectors such as agriculture, automotive manufacturing and other export-oriented industries could face increased costs or lose some of their competitive advantage if their products become subject to higher tariffs. The impact, however, will depend on the products affected, the alternative trade arrangements available and whether businesses can find new markets for their goods.<br />
For South Africa, the issue extends beyond trade figures to questions about jobs, investment and economic growth. Businesses facing higher export costs may reconsider expansion plans, while workers in affected industries could face uncertainty if companies experience declining demand. The decision also raises broader questions about South Africa’s trade and diplomatic relationship with the United States, the country's dependence on major international markets, and the steps government and businesses can take to protect the economy. For ordinary South Africans, the key question is whether these developments could eventually affect employment opportunities, household incomes and the cost of living <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

		<title>In Conversation with Kabelo “Bouga Luv” Mabalane</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Kabelo Mabalane: The OG Who Turned the Trenches Into a Testimony From chart history with TKZee to a decade-defining reinvention, South Africa's original pantsula icon returns with an album eleven years in the making — for King, for country, and for everyone still finding their way out of the trenches. JOHANNESBURG — There is a version of this story where Kabelo Mabalane doesn't make it to fifty. <br />
Where the same hunger that turned a schoolboy from Johannesburg into one half of the fastest-selling single in South African history swallows him whole instead. That version exists somewhere, in the years he now speaks about only in passing — the ones he calls, simply, "the trenches." This is not that story. This is the one where he got out, stayed out, and turned everything he survived into a discipline nobody saw coming. <br />
Born and bred in Johannesburg on 15 December 1976, Mabalane , affectionately known as Bouga Luv/ Bouga 2 shoes / Pastor Kabelo came of age at the exact moment kwaito was finding its voice — a new sound for a new country, made by kids like him. At St Stithian's College in Sandton, he fell in with two schoolmates, Zwai Bala and Tokollo "Magesh" Tshabalala, and in 1996 the three of them became TKZee. Two years later, "Shibobo" — timed perfectly to South Africa's 1998 World Cup fever — became the fastest-<br />
Selling single the country had ever seen, and the group's Halloween album rode it to 300,000 copies sold. By 1999, TKZee had swept five SAMAs in a single year. Kabelo Mabalane was not yet twenty-three, and he was already a household name. The solo career that followed only deepened that legacy. “Everybody Watching” went platinum within weeks of release. “Rebel With a Cause” and And “The Beat Goes On” followed it into multi-platinum territory, carrying him to a Kora Award for Best Southern African Male Artist and, across two decades, a trophy case holding ten SAMAs alongside Kora, Metro FM and Channel O honours. He has shared stages with Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Soul II Soul and Rihanna. In 2025, TKZee were honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award — official recognition of a catalogue that has never really left the airwaves. <br />
But the achievement Mabalane speaks of with the most weight isn't a chart position. It's the version of himself he built after nearly losing everything — the one who, through timely counsel, sheer stubbornness, and the discipline of re-channelling every old instinct into road running instead, found his way to solid ground. He has since finished the Comrades Ultra Marathon fourteen times, appeared on the cover of Runner's World, and served as a SASCOC Olympic Ambassador — proof, he says, that the same intensity that once nearly cost him everything could just as easily be pointed somewhere worth going. <br />
That recovery became something bigger than a personal turnaround. It became, in his own words, his DNA: the catalyst behind 13 libraries built in under-resourced communities, and the co-raising of R2.3 million that funded Early Childhood Nutrition Intervention for vulnerable families during the hardest months of the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic. Mabalane calls the philosophy behind all of it <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

Securing practical experience, navigating graduate recruitment and understanding what employers expect can present additional challenges for young people preparing to enter the workplace.<br />
In South Africa, becoming a practicing legal professional involves more than academic achievement. The Legal Practice Act and the requirements administered by the Legal Practice Council set out the qualifications, practical vocational training and competency assessments required for admission to the profession. The Law Society of South Africa explains that prospective legal practitioners must meet the relevant academic and training requirements before they can be admitted and enrolled to practice. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thabisang Primary School in Soweto is set to benefit from improved access to electricity as Jozi My Jozi and its partners mark an important milestone in plans to establish a library and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Centre at the school.<br />
A solar panel handover event taking place at the school this morning marks the first tangible step towards a broader educational development project initiated by Jozi My Jozi in collaboration with Veld Architects for Nelson Mandela Day in July 2026.<br />
The initiative aims to develop a sustainable, future-focused learning hub using repurposed shipping containers. The proposed facility will include a library, a computer laboratory and flexible spaces to support group learning and other educational activities.<br />
Reliable electricity is a key requirement for the project, particularly as schools increasingly depend on digital tools for teaching, communication and administration.<br />
According to Jozi My Jozi, power interruptions can disrupt computer-based lessons, internet access, printing, administrative work, lighting and security systems. A properly designed solar and battery backup system could help maintain essential school operations during electricity outages.<br />
The solar panels were donated by Nadeem from World of Power and Solar and installed by Lucas from CLS Electrical. The installation is intended to address the school’s immediate electricity challenges while laying the groundwork for the digital infrastructure required by the proposed library and CAD Centre.<br />
The project also highlights the role of partnerships in addressing infrastructure challenges at schools, with the solar installation serving as an initial intervention while the broader learning facility remains part of the longer-term vision.<br />
Itumeleng Maboko, a Candidate Architect at Veld Architects, will discuss the project and its development during an interview on Jozi My Jozi this morning at 10:15.<br />
The discussion will explore how the solar installation fits into the wider vision for Thabisang Primary School and what the proposed learning centre could mean for learners’ access to reading resources, technology and new learning opportunities. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) presented its submission on Government’s Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS) to Parliament’s Standing and Select Committees on Finance. <br />
Whilst appreciating the many competing demands facing the state, we remain deeply disappointed that once again Treasury and government collectively missed the opportunity to table a bold package of interventions that would tackle the fundamental crises of a staggeringly high 43.8% unemployment rate, weak economic growth averaging 1% for over a decade, entrenched levels of poverty and inequality, high rates of crime and corruption, embattled public and municipal services. <br />
Whilst it is important to place the budget’s debt and deficit on a sustainable trajectory, this cannot be at the expense of stimulating the very economic growth and job creation essential to South Africa’s long-term recovery. An unhealthy obsession with neo-liberal austerity budget cuts or in the case of the MTBPS, prioritising early retirement packages, is not a sustainable path to unlocking economic growth and slashing unemployment. The fact that the MTBPS forecasts only reaching the 3% economic growth needed to see unemployment fall in 2034 is beyond depressing. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The trial of Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, daughter of former president Jacob Zuma and a former uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party MP, resumed at the Durban High Court on Monday, 26 October 2026. She faces one count of incitement to commit terrorism and two counts of incitement to commit public violence, linked to social media posts she allegedly published during the deadly July 2021 unrest. The unrest followed her father's imprisonment for contempt of court and resulted in widespread looting, destruction of property and the deaths of more than 300 people. Zuma-Sambudla has pleaded not guilty and disputes the allegations against her. <br />
<br />
The latest proceedings have placed the meaning and interpretation of social media messages under scrutiny. A retired isiZulu language practitioner, Dr Elli Khumalo-Simelane, testified for the State about posts that included the phrase “Mooiplaza, we see you..Amandla!! #Free Jacob Zuma”. The State is seeking to establish how the posts should be understood in the context of the unrest, while defence advocate Dali Mpofu has challenged the need for the witness's testimony and questioned whether translating words can establish the author's intention. The dispute highlights the difficulty of distinguishing between the literal meaning of a message, its cultural context and the meaning audiences may attach to it. <br />
<br />
Beyond the language dispute, the case raises broader questions about political communication, accountability and the limits of freedom of expression in South Africa. The prosecution must establish the charges against Zuma-Sambudla, while the defence is entitled to challenge the evidence and the conclusions drawn from it. The proceedings also come amid questions about the investigation itself: reporting on the latest court appearance indicates that investigators found no conclusive evidence linking her bank records or cellphone communications to the financing or coordination of groups involved in the unrest. The central question for political observers is how the court will assess the social media evidence alongside the wider investigation, without confusing political controversy or public suspicion with proof of criminal responsibility. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For thousands of South African students, securing funding through schemes such as NSFAS can mean the difference between accessing higher education and being excluded from it. However, while student funding has helped improve access to universities and TVET colleges, concerns remain about whether financial aid adequately covers the real costs of studying in today's economic environment. Students continue to face increasing expenses related to accommodation, food, transport, learning materials, connectivity, and other daily necessities.<br />
South Africa's rising cost of living has placed additional pressure on students and their families. Inflation, increasing food prices, rising transport costs, and escalating rental costs have significantly affected student budgets. Many students report that their allowances are exhausted long before month-end, forcing them to skip meals, borrow money, seek part-time work, or rely on family members who may already be facing financial hardship. Rising fuel prices have also contributed to higher transport and food costs, placing further strain on student finances. <br />
Against this backdrop, student organisations have increasingly raised concerns about the gap between available funding and the actual cost of living and studying. Questions are being asked about whether funding models are keeping pace with economic realities, how students are coping with financial pressures, and what interventions may be needed to ensure that access to higher education translates into a realistic opportunity for academic success. As the voice of students across South Africa, the South African Union of Students (SAUS) is well positioned to provide insight into these challenges and the lived experiences of students nationwide. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[For thousands of South African students, securing funding through schemes such as NSFAS can mean the difference between accessing higher education and being excluded from it. However, while student funding has helped improve access to universities and TVET colleges, concerns remain about whether financial aid adequately covers the real costs of studying in today's economic environment. Students continue to face increasing expenses related to accommodation, food, transport, learning materials, connectivity, and other daily necessities.
South Africa's rising cost of living has placed additional pressure on students and their families. Inflation, increasing food prices, rising transport costs, and escalating rental costs have significantly affected student budgets. Many students report that their allowances are exhausted long before month-end, forcing them to skip meals, borrow money, seek part-time work, or rely on family members who may already be facing financial hardship. Rising fuel prices have also contributed to higher transport and food costs, placing further strain on student finances. 
Against this backdrop, student organisations have increasingly raised concerns about the gap between available funding and the actual cost of living and studying. Questions are being asked about whether funding models are keeping pace with economic realities, how students are coping with financial pressures, and what interventions may be needed to ensure that access to higher education translates into a realistic opportunity for academic success. As the voice of students across South Africa, the South African Union of Students (SAUS) is well positioned to provide insight into these challenges and the lived experiences of students nationwide.]]></itunes:summary>

		<description><![CDATA[South Africans continue to face increasing economic pressure as rising fuel prices affect almost every sector of the economy. Because fuel is a critical input in transportation, agriculture, manufacturing and logistics, increases at the petrol pump do not only affect motorists but also contribute to higher prices for goods and services across the country. South Africa's economy relies heavily on road transport, with more than 80% of freight moved by trucks, making fuel costs a significant factor in the price of everyday products. <br />
The impact of higher fuel prices is particularly evident in food costs. Diesel powers farming equipment, irrigation systems, food processing operations and transport vehicles that deliver products to retailers. As these costs rise, businesses often pass them on to consumers through higher prices. Economists and industry experts have warned that sustained fuel price increases could place further upward pressure on food inflation and the overall cost of living, especially for lower-income households that already spend a large portion of their income on basic necessities. <br />
For ordinary South Africans, the consequences are felt daily through more expensive transport fares, rising grocery bills and shrinking disposable income. Many households are being forced to adjust their spending habits, while businesses face higher operating costs that could slow investment and economic growth. Fuel prices are influenced by global oil markets and the strength of the rand against the US dollar, meaning international events can have a direct effect on household finances in South Africa. As concerns about affordability continue to grow, questions remain about the long-term implications for economic growth, inflation and the financial well-being of citizens. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

So says Merle O'Ryan, who sings in the Symphony Choir of Cape Town, reflecting on the extraordinary atmosphere at World Singing Day Cape Town 2026, held at the historic Groote Kerk on Saturday, 17 October.<br />
The Ubuntu and nation-building gees that swept through the church during the event have prompted heartfelt responses from participants, many of whom described an experience that reached far beyond music.<br />
Nearly 1,400 voices came together in an evening that brought people of different ages, cultures, races, backgrounds and musical abilities into one shared experience. Experienced choristers, professional musicians and members of the public sang side by side, transforming the audience into one enormous choir. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

		<title>In Conversation with Dr Better, a psychologist, author and mental-health advocate</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1732110</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1732110</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Newly published book, Reflections of a Grieving Therapist.<br />
The book explores grief from a deeply personal and professional perspective. As a psychologist who has spent years helping people navigate emotional pain and loss, I also found myself having to confront the realities of grief personally. The book reflects on what happens when the person who is accustomed to helping others must also find ways to navigate their own pain.<br />
I believe this could make for a meaningful and relatable conversation with your listeners, particularly because grief is something that touches virtually every family and community, yet many people still struggle to understand or openly discuss it.<br />
A conversation around the book could explore topics such as:<br />
•	What grief really looks like beyond the traditional stages of grief<br />
•	Why grief does not have a fixed timeline<br />
•	The difference between grieving and “moving on”<br />
•	How people can support someone who is grieving<br />
•	The impact of unresolved grief on mental health and relationships<br />
•	The unique experience of a therapist dealing with personal loss<br />
•	Why men and other groups may struggle to openly express grief<br />
•	How we can create healthier conversations around death, loss and emotional healing <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Francis Soal is the digital alter ego of Benjy de Kock, a keyboard player, songwriter, vocalist, and producer based in Cape Town, South Africa. His debut album, Hindsight 2020, was released in 2024, and received the award for ‘Best Alternative Album’ at the 31st South African Music Awards in December 2025. <br />
Hindsight 2020 features an intricate blend of genres, from prog-rock and reggae to blues and jazz, and contemplates the inner and outer contradictions of modern life. Balancing his roles as both musician and producer, the album experiments with analogue production techniques to create a rich sonic landscape that invites listeners to engage deeply with the music and lyrics. Hindsight 2020 is meant to be experienced as a complete work, with each track seamlessly flowing into the next, creating a cohesive and immersive listening experience.<br />
In addition to his performing work, Benjy is also the co-founder of Concept Records, an independent recording studio and creative community based in Sybrand Park. Since its inception in 2019, Concept Records has recorded over 70 albums and EPs with local artists including Internet Athi, Kitso Seti, Asher Gamedze, Nobuhle Ashanti, and Kujenga. Concept Records is also the home of Big Little Concepts, a YouTube series which features live performance of original music by local artists, inspired by NPR’s TinyDesk series. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

Hindsight 2020 features an intricate blend of genres, from prog-rock and reggae to blues and jazz, and contemplates the inner and outer contradictions of modern life. Balancing his roles as both musician and producer, the album experiments with analogue production techniques to create a rich sonic landscape that invites listeners to engage deeply with the music and lyrics. Hindsight 2020 is meant to be experienced as a complete work, with each track seamlessly flowing into the next, creating a cohesive and immersive listening experience.
In addition to his performing work, Benjy is also the co-founder of Concept Records, an independent recording studio and creative community based in Sybrand Park. Since its inception in 2019, Concept Records has recorded over 70 albums and EPs with local artists including Internet Athi, Kitso Seti, Asher Gamedze, Nobuhle Ashanti, and Kujenga. Concept Records is also the home of Big Little Concepts, a YouTube series which features live performance of original music by local artists, inspired by NPR’s TinyDesk series.]]></itunes:summary>

		<description><![CDATA[20 October 2026, Johannesburg, - Blind SA, represented by SECTION27, instituted litigation in the Gauteng Division of the High Court, Pretoria challenging the decision of Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition’s (DTIC), Mpho Parks Tau, to put South Africa’s ratification of the Marrakesh Visually Impaired Persons (VIP) Treaty on hold pending the enactment of the Copyright Amendment Bill (CAB). The Minister’s decision leaves access to international digital libraries in limbo, despite a Constitutional Court order providing for key copyright exceptions. Blind SA argues that the Minister’s decision is based on a misinterpretation of the law and has severe consequences for blind and visually impaired people. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

The campaign marks the close of Transport Month and responds to the daily reality faced by thousands of commuters who pass through the inner city's busiest ranks: litter, illegal dumping, blocked drains and poor lighting that make the start and end of each journey harder than it should be.<br />
Working alongside the South African Police Service (SAPS), the Johannesburg Central Community Police Forum (CPF), JMPD, Gauteng Social Development, the Ward 59 Councillor and City of Johannesburg partners, the Taxi Forum will mobilise drivers, marshals, owners, informal traders, commuters and volunteers to clean and restore the area.<br />
"Every day, thousands of people start and end their journeys at this rank. They deserve a place that is clean, safe and treats them with dignity," said Mr R N Mbatha, Chairman of the G.J.P.T.F. "As the taxi industry, we are not waiting for someone else to fix it. We are rolling up our sleeves, with SAPS, JMPD, the CPF and our partners, to bring back hope to our commuters." <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

For some, even completing a university degree or a college qualification does not guarantee employment, while others face additional barriers because they lack access to career guidance, professional networks and training opportunities. In response to these challenges, the government introduced the Presidential Youth Employment Intervention, which aims to help young people move from learning to earning by connecting them to employment opportunities, skills development, workplace experience and other income-generating activities. Through initiatives such as SA Youth.mobi and partnerships with different organisations, the intervention seeks to create pathways that help young people participate in the economy. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I_Talk_Youth is a dynamic, youth-driven political talk show that unpacks the issues shaping young people’s lives in South Africa and across the continent. The show creates a platform where politics, governance, activism, entrepreneurship, education, culture, and social justice intersect through the voice of young people.<br />
With this programme we aim to bridge the gap between young citizens and decision makers by making politics relatable, engaging, and solution oriented. Through interviews, debates, vox pops, social media engagement, and expert analysis, the show empowers youth to understand policy, challenge leadership, and actively participate in democracy. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was established in the aftermath of apartheid to investigate gross human rights violations, give victims an opportunity to tell their stories, and promote national healing. While the commission helped uncover the truth about many atrocities, numerous apartheid-era crimes remain unresolved, leaving victims’ families without the justice and accountability they have sought for decades.<br />
<br />
The inquiry involving former President Thabo Mbeki’s testimony brings renewed attention to the handling of cases arising from the TRC process and the state’s responsibility to ensure that serious crimes committed during apartheid are properly investigated. The central issue is whether the institutions responsible for pursuing these cases did enough to advance investigations and prosecutions, and what obstacles may have contributed to prolonged delays. Mbeki’s testimony is significant because of his former position as head of state and the questions it raises about political leadership, institutional accountability and the pursuit of justice.<br />
<br />
For victims and their families, the issue extends beyond historical records and public hearings: it concerns whether the democratic state has fulfilled its responsibility to pursue the truth and hold those responsible accountable. The interview should examine what the inquiry is seeking to establish, what the evidence reveals about the handling of these cases, and whether there are credible plans to move unresolved matters forward. It should also establish what accountability mechanisms exist today and what victims can realistically expect from the process. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Monday, 19 October 2026, a service-delivery protest in Lenasia forced the closure of the N12 freeway in both directions between Abu Baker Asvat Drive and K43, also known as Klipspruit Valley Road. According to a Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) traffic advisory issued at 08:50, the protest was linked to residents’ demands for water and electricity. The JMPD and South African Police Service (SAPS) Public Order Policing subsequently conducted a joint operation to disperse a crowd of approximately 300 people, some of whom were reportedly throwing stones at passing vehicles. Traffic flow was restored in both directions following the operation.<br />
<br />
Although the freeway reopened, authorities warned that the situation remained tense, with smaller groups of protesters continuing to resurface in the surrounding area. Officers remained deployed to secure the road, remove debris and protect motorists, while drivers travelling through Lenasia, Eldorado Park and Anchorville were advised to remain vigilant. The closure had disrupted commuters travelling between these areas and Soweto, highlighting how service-delivery protests can affect not only the communities directly involved but also thousands of people who depend on major roads to get to work, school and other essential destinations.<br />
<br />
Beyond the immediate traffic disruption, the protest raises questions about residents’ access to basic services and the effectiveness of communication between communities and local government. While the reopening of the N12 restored traffic movement, it does not necessarily mean that the underlying water and electricity concerns have been resolved. The discussion should establish exactly what residents are demanding, what the City of Johannesburg and relevant service providers are doing to address those concerns, and whether clear timelines exist for resolving them. It should also examine how authorities can prevent service-delivery frustrations from escalating into dangerous confrontations that put residents, motorists and law-enforcement officers at risk. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[South Africa’s gig economy has created new income opportunities through e-hailing, digital services and content creation, but questions remain about how much of the money generated by these platforms reaches the people doing the work. Drivers face operating expenses such as fuel, vehicle maintenance and insurance, while digital creators must navigate an increasingly competitive market to turn their audiences into sustainable income. This raises a broader question: can locally developed digital platforms create more equitable opportunities for the people whose labour and content drive their businesses?<br />
OMN1 is entering the South African market with a model that, according to the company’s proposal, promises drivers an 85% payout on every completed Move trip, without tiered structures or performance conditions. <br />
<br />
The company is also introducing a creator monetisation programme that aims to allow South African creators to qualify with as few as 3,000 followers. OMN1 has further set a target of helping 1,000 local creators earn at least R20,000 per month through its platform. These are significant claims, but their practical impact will depend on how the payout structure works, the costs users incur, the availability of customers and the number of drivers and creators who can realistically generate consistent earnings.<br />
<br />
The conversation with OMN1 CEO Livhuwani Mutavhatatsindi should explore whether this model can compete with established platforms, support sustainable livelihoods and contribute to South Africa’s digital economy. It should also examine the difference between a company’s income targets and verified earnings, the protections available to drivers and creators, and the challenges of expanding nationally. For young South Africans seeking alternative income streams, the central question is whether OMN1 offers a genuinely sustainable opportunity or simply another platform whose promises must be tested against the realities of earning a living. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a>]]></description>

		<title>IN CONVERSATION WITH DR NCEDIWE MDLULWA</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming part of university life, helping students research topics, summarise academic material, improve their writing and prepare for assessments. However, its growing role raises important questions about the difference between using AI to support learning and relying on it to complete the learning process on a student’s behalf. As highlighted in UNESCO’s guidance on generative AI in education and research, institutions need to consider how these tools can be used ethically while protecting students’ ability to think independently, exercise judgement and develop their own understanding. <br />
Dr Ncediwe Mdlulwa, a lecturer in the Academic Staff Development cluster at the University of Cape Town’s Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching, brings relevant expertise to this conversation. Her work focuses on integrating artificial intelligence and innovative teaching approaches into higher education, particularly within South African and broader Global South contexts. She also co-convenes UCT’s Designing with AI short course. In a 2026 publication co-authored with Petronella Elize Saal, Krish Chetty and Nondumiso Masuku, titled Effective AI Integration in Postgraduate Supervision Practices: Policy Implications for South Africa, Dr Mdlulwa contributes to research examining AI’s use in academic writing, literature reviews and feedback, while emphasising the importance of AI literacy, institutional policies, training and equitable access. <br />
This discussion will explore whether the convenience of AI is changing students’ motivation, academic discipline, critical thinking and confidence in their own abilities. It will also examine whether universities need to rethink traditional assessments, establish clearer guidelines for responsible AI use and help students distinguish genuine understanding from work generated with technological assistance. The central question is not simply whether students should use AI, but how they can benefit from it without sacrificing the curiosity, independent thinking and problem-solving skills that higher education is meant to develop.

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming part of university life, helping students research topics, summarise academic material, improve their writing and prepare for assessments. However, its growing role raises important questions about the difference between using AI to support learning and relying on it to complete the learning process on a student’s behalf. As highlighted in UNESCO’s guidance on generative AI in education and research, institutions need to consider how these tools can be used ethically while protecting students’ ability to think independently, exercise judgement and develop their own understanding. 
Dr Ncediwe Mdlulwa, a lecturer in the Academic Staff Development cluster at the University of Cape Town’s Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching, brings relevant expertise to this conversation. Her work focuses on integrating artificial intelligence and innovative teaching approaches into higher education, particularly within South African and broader Global South contexts. She also co-convenes UCT’s Designing with AI short course. In a 2026 publication co-authored with Petronella Elize Saal, Krish Chetty and Nondumiso Masuku, titled Effective AI Integration in Postgraduate Supervision Practices: Policy Implications for South Africa, Dr Mdlulwa contributes to research examining AI’s use in academic writing, literature reviews and feedback, while emphasising the importance of AI literacy, institutional policies, training and equitable access. 
This discussion will explore whether the convenience of AI is changing students’ motivation, academic discipline, critical thinking and confidence in their own abilities. It will also examine whether universities need to rethink traditional assessments, establish clearer guidelines for responsible AI use and help students distinguish genuine understanding from work generated with technological assistance. The central question is not simply whether students should use AI, but how they can benefit from it without sacrificing the curiosity, independent thinking and problem-solving skills that higher education is meant to develop. Ultimately, the conversation aims to equip students with practical ways to use AI as a learning tool rather than allowing it to become a substitute for learning.]]></itunes:summary>

Her entrepreneurial journey has been shaped by firsthand experience building income through different hustles and seeing the challenges small business owners face when it comes to keeping proper records. Now, she's building a practical tool to help entrepreneurs understand their businesses better and make more informed decisions. So, this morning, we're looking at multiple income streams, the reality of managing different hustles, and how you know when one of those hustles has the potential to become your main source of income. Because the goal isn't simply to have more money coming in. It's to understand what you're building and whether it's sustainable. ]]></description>

		<title>IN CONVERSATION with (Boxer) Steve Cele</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1728434</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1728434</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Born and raised on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal, Steve Cele’s journey has brought him to Johannesburg, where he continues to pursue his passion for fitness and boxing. What began as a love for fitness developed into a deep interest in boxing over eight years ago, inspiring him to dedicate himself to consistent training, discipline and continuous self-improvement. Although he has yet to compete in a major fight, Steve remains committed to sharpening his skills, building his strength and improving his technique. His training focuses on developing strong footwork, speed, agility, defensive movement, precision punching and effective combinations, while building endurance, power and mental toughness. For Steve, boxing is more than just a sport; it is a lifestyle that demands dedication, resilience and the determination to become better with every session. With over eight years of training behind him, he remains focused on growing as a boxer and preparing himself for future opportunities in the ring. <a href="https://twitter.com/vowfm">Twitter</a> &middot; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vowfm/?next=%2F">Instagram</a>]]></description>

What began as a love for fitness developed into a deep interest in boxing over eight years ago, inspiring him to dedicate himself to consistent training, discipline and continuous self-improvement. Although he has yet to compete in a major fight, Steve remains committed to sharpening his skills, building his strength and improving his technique. His training focuses on developing strong footwork, speed, agility, defensive movement, precision punching and effective combinations, while building endurance, power and mental toughness. For Steve, boxing is more than just a sport; it is a lifestyle that demands dedication, resilience and the determination to become better with every session. With over eight years of training behind him, he remains focused on growing as a boxer and preparing himself for future opportunities in the ring.]]></itunes:summary>
