The National Union of Mineworkers and South African Communist Party (SACP) are set to lead a protest outside the Western Cape provincial legislature today, demanding action against violent crime and corruption. The protest, led by SACP General-Secretary Solly Mapaila and NUM President Phillip Vilakazi, comes as gang violence continues to plague the Cape Flats, with multiple people dying in mass shootings every week. Elvis Presslin spoke to NUM Western Cape Regional Secretary, Mlondolozi Limaphi

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 6th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.We go to 1 John 4:16: “And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love (please remember that - God is love), and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.”God is love. People need love desperately, all people, in every walk of life! I am doing this programme particularly today to say thank you to every single person who has been praying for the event that we had in the Cape Flats in Cape Town, South Africa. I would like to thank you all over the world. We love you very, very much. Words cannot express how we appreciated your prayer cover when we went down to that very dangerous place, where very few people want to go, and we saw and experienced something that I have never experienced before in over 40 years of preaching the Gospel. I experienced the love of God like never before!When we arrived in the Athlone Stadium, the first thing I asked for was to meet the intercessors, because as an evangelist I know that if there is no prayer there is no power. They took me into a room that was full of approximately 50 women who were interceding. They weren't just interceding, they were travailing. Now if you don't know what that word means - a woman who is having a child, in labour, she is travailing, and that is what they were doing - travailing for their people, for their families, their children, their husbands. I was so touched, I was overwhelmed, and I prayed for them and they prayed for me, and they loved me and they hugged me and kissed me, then they took me out to the stadium.There was such desperation from the men. We were talking to men, it was a Mighty Men event, but I want to tell you, they were hanging on every word. These men are hungry for the love of God. Before I left home, my wife Jill said to me, “Just tell them, Angus, that God loves them.” And that's all these men wanted to know. Young boys, 12, 13 years old, to older men, they were there in the thousands, and we thank God.The Lord laid on my heart to commission them, like you commission someone into the army, and we called them into the front, we prayed the prayer of repentance, and then we prayed over them andcommissioned them. I said, “The Government can't help you,” I said, “the army can't help you,” I said, “the police can't help you. The only people that can help you are yourselves and the power of the Holy Spirit.”As we left, a young man ran up to me. I said, “Bring him.” I said, ‘What can I do for you, young man?” He said, “I just want a hug from you. I lost my dad, he died, I lost my grandfather a few days ago. You remind me of my grandfather.” And with that he said, “I just want a hug.” That's all he wanted. I took him in my arms, we hugged each other, he wept, I wept and God did the rest.I am believing for revival in the Cape Flats. Thank you for your love and your prayers.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

El Phoenix is a Cape Town-based Afrikaans rapper whose raw delivery, lived experience and unapologetic lyricism capture the heartbeat of the Cape Flats. He carries the torch of storytellers before him while carving out a lane rooted in honesty, community and cultural pride. His music reminds us that Afrikaans rap is not just sound—it's identity, survival and testimony. Short history of Afrikaans rap: Afrikaans rap emerged in the late 1980s and 1990s with crews like Prophets of Da City (POC) pioneering socially conscious hip hop that spoke directly to the realities of apartheid and township life. In the early 2000s, groups like Brasse Vannie Kaap (BVK) brought Kaaps slang, street humour and local flavor to the mainstream, setting the foundation for a unique Cape Hip Hop identity. Since then, Afrikaans rap has evolved into a diverse landscape where artists from different regions express pride, resistance, storytelling and celebration through their own dialects and rhythms.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 1st of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in 1 Samuel 17:45”Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you.” What a powerful scripture! Then we go straight to 2 Corinthians 10:4-5: “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,” What an incredible scripture!Today, we are on our way to war. Yes, we are. We are going down to Cape Town, the southernmost city in our beloved country of South Africa. A most beautiful place, but there is a war going on in the Cape Flats as I speak to you. We are going to assist. We are going to support. We are going into the fight, and we are going to take satan's head off, just like David took the head of Goliath off, and we are not going with firearms. No, we are going with the word of God. Even as the young boy David said to the giant, ”You come against me with spears and swords. I come against you with the name of the Lord God of Israel.” It is going to be a most wonderful day of victory. I cannot wait. In fact, the victory is already there. We are just going to join up with God's men in the Athlone Stadium in the Cape Flats. Please, gentlemen, if you are not planning to come, come along, because you will see something you will never, ever forget as long as you live, and one day you will sit with your grandchild on your lap and that child will ask you, ”Were you there, grandad?” I hope you will be able to say, ”Yes indeed, I was there, the day that the Lord Jesus Christ came down in fire and authority and defeated the devil once and for all!”Please pray for us. God bless you and goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 30th of October, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. Matthew 17:21. Jesus says:”However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”Now remember the story, the disciples could not cure the young man who was demonised. They failed. Jesus came in, prayed over him, cast out the demon immediately. They came to the Lord, they said. ”Lord, how come we could not do that?” And He said, ”This kind only comes out except by prayer and fasting.” He said, ”If you've got faith the size of a mustard seed, you can tell that mountain to move from here to there, and nothing will be impossible.”We need to fast today. I have asked very humbly that you will join me. In a couple of days time we are going to the Cape Flats in Cape Town, South Africa and we are believing for a full stadium of young men. It is a Mighty Men Conference and we are going to trust God for a complete encounter with the Holy Spirit, and we want to purify ourselves, even today. Now you might ask, well, I can't fast because medically the doctors have said I've got to keep eating. That's fine, it's no problem. Maybe you can spend a little less time watching television and read your Bible and pray a little more. Maybe today, you can go without something that is very special to you. Maybe you like eating chocolate, what about giving it a break?You say, ”Come on. Angus, fasting is a bit more important than that.” No, it's not. It's a time when we will remember the Lord. Maybe you need to just drink water today and nothing else. Maybe you need to have an extra quiet time in the middle of the day and pray for the situation that we are going to face on Saturday. Young people are getting murdered daily. Young children are getting caught up in the cross fire. Old people are getting murdered in their homes through the gang wars. It's got to stop, and we are asking you to please fast and pray with us so that the Lord can completely take over in that stadium.Never before in my life have I been so excited about what God is going to do on the 1st of November at two o'clock in the afternoon in the Cape Flats in South Africa, when we face up to this terrible slaughter that is taking place, and in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, we will cast it out. Please fast today with us.God bless you and have a special day today.Goodbye.

Carmen Stevens, the first non-white winemaker in South Africa, has created something remarkable beyond her acclaimed wines. Through her foundation, she's now feeding over 29,000 children across 124 schools in Cape Town's underserved communities—all for just R3.50 per child per day. The Carmen Stevens Foundation began modestly in 2011 with just 300 children receiving meals. What started as a small soup kitchen has transformed into a lifeline for schools throughout the Cape Flats. Carmen's mission is beautifully simple yet profoundly effective: provide nutritious meals during school hours so children can focus, learn, and most importantly, have a reason to attend school at all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode overview: Prince Nwadeyi spent years providing market research that unlocked South Africa's R600 billion (~USD 34.4 billion) informal economy for blue-chip clients. The likes of Swiss Re, Liberty, NASPERS all wanted the insights. Few wanted the execution risk. In conversation with Andile Masuku, Nwadeyi explains why his holding company SAG Ventures stopped selling insights and started building businesses. From Mustard Finance Group (formerly Setana Capital) providing working capital to township spaza shops (micro convenience stores), to Purchase Pal embedding funeral cover into everyday groceries, Nwadeyi's ventures share a common thread: aligning incentives across entire value chains whilst playing a longer game than quarterly-focused corporates can stomach. His journey from UCT postgrad researcher to operator deploying millions in credit with a claimed 99.9% repayment rate offers a masterclass in strategic patience and the power of granular consumer understanding. Key insights: - On why insights alone don't create impact: "We realised that some of the executives were not willing to take the risk, not for any risk of their own, but really just how the incentive structure set up within corporate." Nwadeyi discovered that knowing differently doesn't translate to acting differently when bonuses hang in the balance. The solution? Stop asking permission and build the innovation yourself. - On aligning incentives to unlock impossible markets: Working capital finance to informal retailers seemed impossible until Nwadeyi mapped the ecosystem. Wholesalers wanted more sales but couldn't offer credit. They did have transaction data. "Can we build a technology solution that interprets that data at scale to enable unique insight that traditional finance institutions don't have access to?" The result: finance the stock purchase to the wholesaler, the SME repays over 14 days, everyone wins. One of their spaza shop clients recently scaled from one store to three and bought her first house for R1 million (~USD 57,400) cash. - On thinking in decades whilst executing in months: "You don't have to think in days. You have to think in decades." Purchase Pal (what Nwadeyi claims to be "the world's first FMCG-embedded funeral insurance") represents one piece of a five-year strategy spanning multiple financial services verticals. The long game enables patient execution whilst maintaining corporate relevance. "What's my exit point? What's my entry point? Am I wanting to build this alongside?" - On why research beats assumptions every time: A tearful interview during his MPhil research - a woman describing the humiliation of borrowing money to bury her mother whilst neighbours gossiped about her poverty - sparked the Purchase Pal concept. "What if we could unlock quote unquote, what I call, no cost insurance?" Years of ethnographic research revealed the margin structure in FMCG goods, the cost burden of traditional insurance intermediation, and the customer stickiness problem facing consumer goods manufacturers. Research made the impossible obvious. Notable moment: The pivot from consultant to operator: Walking through a Cape Flats township, Nwadeyi's co-founder encountered a spaza shop owner struggling for financing. "All I ever wanted to do is to feed myself, feed my family or feed my business." That human story, repeated across thousands of township retailers, shifted SAG from insight provider to solution builder. Traditional finance wouldn't touch these operators. Nwadeyi's team reportedly deployed over R100 million (~USD 5.7 million) and achieved 99.9% repayment rates. Image credit: SAG Ventures

In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, Ian Cameron, the Chair of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, slams former Police Minister Senzo Mchunu for setting the Hawks on a satirist. “..it's just absolutely ridiculous, ludicrous to say the least - and that they would fly down a team from Johannesburg to come and waste time when there's actual real crime to fight. So proper North Korean-style operation…” Cameron calls 40 gunmen taking control of a municipal council in Northwest a “municipal coup d'etat". He says it begs the question whether we could expect “more on a provincial and even a national level” and says “this is exactly one of the reasons we should fight against the disarming of lawfully armed citizens”. Commenting on delays in the launch of the Ad Hoc committee that has to hear the Mkhwanazi allegations of Police Capture, Cameron says it is “extremely frustrating process…we continued to see the delays move forward. We just kept on hearing more excuses for things not happening. And now we're already more than a month in since when we could have started work in the beginning of August, and we still haven't finalised the programme”. Meanwhile, he laments the “bloodbath” on the Cape Flats. “…in the top 30 stations in the Western Cape, over the last month of August, we saw over 300 people being murdered. The impression is given that the police are doing what they can, but to be honest with you, they're not. They don't have the capacity even if they wanted to.”

Cape Flats Parole Crisis: 36% Re-Offend, DA Demands Urgent Reform by Radio Islam

Nadia Lubowski, the director of the Anton Lubowski Educational Trust (ALET), faced the trauma of her father being assassinated in front of their home in Namibia when she was just nine years old. Having to deal with this trauma, she has adopted a leading art-based, trauma-informed approach to early childhood education in Philippi on the Cape Flats, where she teaches pre-school children. In an interview with Biznews, Lubowski highlighted the stark disparities in educational experiences between children in affluent suburbs and those in townships like Philippi, an area marked by violence. She recounts the harrowing story of a child in her programme who witnessed a classmate being shot. It is children like this that Lubowski wants to help, using art therapy to express their emotions and cope with trauma. Having identified a suitable piece of land, she is currently planning an art centre that would provide a safe space for parents, mothers, and young children to gather. ALET is in the process of raising R27 million for the project, and Lubowski emphasises that while forming a partnership with a corporate entity would be beneficial, it is essential that the initiative remains rooted in collaboration with the community to truly make a difference in the lives of Philippi's children.

In this wide-ranging interview with BizNews, Ian Cameron, the Chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, takes viewers behind the scenes in the fight for a better police force. He covers the latest crime statistics; upcoming skills audits; the “carnage and chaos” and “dirty political fight” at Crime Intelligence; the “pushback” Police Minister Senzo Mchunu has been getting internally after “questioning certain things”; the significant challenge of working with certain senior managers in SAPS; the dangers of taking actions that directly impact on “especially the financial well-being of certain criminal figures”; and the horrific working conditions at the Anti-Gang Unit where he was shocked - on an unannounced oversight visit - to run into the very captain in whose vehicle a known Cape Flats hitman posed with a big smile a few years ago. Cameron also shares the successful outcomes of a number of the committee's ground-level visits and departmental hearings. “I hope that these kinds of cases will set a bit of an example to potential wrongdoers in the South African Police Service….Something…that's encouraging to me is the fact that from all the different parties or entities sides there are questions. So it makes it very difficult for anyone to hide because everyone has different contact points and different persons that they speak to. So I think it's becoming a very uncomfortable environment to be in.”

In the hero's journey, the hero or heroine is called to adventure. Often in the form of a quest, a challenge, or an adversity,And often in unexpected ways.One of the things that's interesting about the hero's journey is that shortly after the call a helper enters the picture.A mentor, sage, guide, or a coach of some sort.They help the hero:Navigate the adventureStrengthen themselvesAnd ultimately transform in ways that allow them to meet their life from a wiser, more skillful, and more responsive place. As we looked at starting a new series featuring everyday heroes, the role of the helper was striking.And we couldn't help but think this new series would be incomplete if we didn't include episodes featuring helpers.So here we are.Launching our next episode in this new adventure.Conversations featuring inspiring stories from everyday heroes and the helpers who walk beside them.Today I am honored and excited to share another beautiful helpers conversation, with Hayley Philander.Hayley is a Lawyer who cofounded an organization called IseeU.On the organization's website they share:Every morning young women from the Cape Flats face an overwhelming challenge – they wake to a community with some of the highest rates of gangsterism and drug addiction in South Africa.

The City of Cape Town's Water and Sanitation Directorate will undertake a 72-hour operation which will begin on Monday, 24 June, until Wednesday, 26 June to do essential maintenance to its water supply network on the Cape Flats. This will result in several areas having no water during this period. The work that needs to be done will ensure that the City's pipe infrastructure is in the best possible condition for years to come. To give us mor details about this temporary water shutdown, we're joined by Melikhaya Zagagana, our EWN Reporter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kaaps is a language widely spoken in the bleak townships of Cape Town, South Africa. It's often denigrated as a lesser form of Afrikaans – the language that was used as a tool of white supremacy during the apartheid era. Spoken predominately by working class people on the Cape Flats, Kaaps is associated with negative stereotypes – its speakers denigrated as uneducated, "ghetto" layabouts involved in gang culture. But a new, burgeoning movement led by hip-hop artists, academics, writers and film makers is actively changing that perception. They want to reclaim Afrikaaps to restore the linguistic, cultural and racial dignity of a formerly disenfranchised people. The writer Lindsay Johns travels to Cape Town to meet the activists determined to assert the worth and pride of the people who speak Afrikaaps.
