In conversation with Phakamile Madonsela and Belinda Matore In this episode of Africa Rights Talk, Belinda Matore sits down with Phakamile Madonsela, from Media Monitoring Africa. The episode explores the pressing issue of online harms faced by children in South Africa and the continent more broadly. Drawing from her work at Media Monitoring Africa, Madonsela outlines the dual nature of the digital world—highlighting both its potential for connectivity, education, and self-expression, and its darker side, including cyberbullying, child sexual abuse material, and online stalking. She stresses the importance of equipping young people with digital literacy and the tools to become responsible digital citizens while also emphasizing the need for inclusive, rights-based digital participation frameworks.   Phakamile highlights the interplay between personal responsibility, institutional duty, and systemic influence also speaks to the important role of the state and digital platforms in safeguarding children's rights online. While much responsibility has traditionally been placed on parents, often without sufficient regard to their digital literacy or social context, the state remains the primary duty bearer in upholding children's rights. Through enforceable legislation, such as South Africa's POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act), the state is empowered to set the rules by which tech companies must operate. Yet, the interview highlighted how inconsistencies in enforcement allow global platforms like Instagram and TikTok to offer less protection to children in South Africa than in Europe. This disparity reflects a need for stronger state-led regulation and enforcement to ensure equal digital protection.    Phakamile Madonsela is a dedicated advocate for the protection and promotion of children's rights in the media, specializing in children's rights, media, and digital advocacy.  At MMA,she leads critical projects that advance child participation and digital rights within the African context, with a particular emphasis on creating safe, inclusive digital spaces for young people. Her expertise centers on the intersection of human rights, internet governance, and children's digital rights, with a passion for child participation in democratic processes. Notably, she was listed in the Mail & Guardian 200 Young South Africans in 2019 and selected for the DGMT Innovation Fellowship in 2024, and is currently  pursuing a Masters degree in Multidisciplinary Human Rights to further advance her work in child participation and digital rights within the African context.   Belinda Matore is a passionate advocate for children's rights in the digital age, with a special focus on online child protection, digital rights and legal technology. As a Doctor of Laws (LLD) candidate at the University of Pretoria, her research explores legal technology, regulatory compliance, and digital governance, all through the lens of safeguarding children in digital spaces. In her role as Project Officer at the Expression, Information, and Digital Rights (EIDR) Unit, Belinda leads work that strengthens freedom of expression, access to information, digital rights and child safety frameworks within the African context. Her work is driven by a commitment to shaping policies that uphold children's rights online and empower their participation in digital society. She was recently featured in Legal Africa Magazine for her contributions to the field of digital law and child protection.   This conversation was recorded on 4 June 2025.   Youtube: https://youtu.be/MpQFogU6lns Music and news extracts: Inner Peace by Mike Chino https://soundcloud.com/mike-chinoCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music promoted by Audio Libraryhttps://youtu.be/0nI6qJeqFcc Limitless https://stock.adobe.com/za/search/audio?k=452592386

A recent report by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and UNICEF reveals that 138 million children worldwide were engaged in child labour in 2024, with 54 million in hazardous work that jeopardizes their health and safety. This marks a drop of over 20 million since 2020 and a nearly 50% decrease since 2000. However, UNICEF says the global target to end child labour by 2025 is unlikely to be achieved.

In back-to-back interviews, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson and Congresswoman Nancy Mace lay the groundwork for a potential clash in the 2026 governor's race. Mace accuses Wilson of failing to prosecute child predators and engaging in corruption, while Wilson fires back, defending his office's record and calling Mace's claims politically motivated and factually inaccurate. The two also diverge on immigration enforcement strategies, with Wilson expressing support for expanding federal-state cooperation. Both interviews provide a revealing look at the tensions and stakes surrounding South Carolina's next major election.

Bongani Bingwa speaks with Annette, the mother of an 11-year-old girl about the difficult situation facing their family. It was a sudden change in Naledi’s behavior that first raised concern—she became withdrawn, stopped socializing, and spent most of her time in her room. Her mother then noticed physical changes, including a rounder stomach and the development of breasts, which led to the heartbreaking discovery that Naledi was pregnant. Now, as the pregnancy progresses, the family is seeking justice and fighting to ensure that the responsible party is held accountable. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In this episode, we're discussing the disturbing and suspicious death of Virginia Giuffre — the brave Epstein survivor who was hit by a bus and then somehow "committed suicide" just before the long-awaited Epstein files are allegedly set to be released (if they even still will actually be released). We'll talk about the uncomfortable reality that the powerful pedophiles running our world will silence anyone who speaks too much truth. Especially someone like Virginia, who recently made it very clear that she was not, in any way, shape, or form suicidal. It's just as sketchy as the narrative they tried to sell us about Jeffrey Epstein "killing himself." We're calling out Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, reminding everyone that we need to keep the pressure on and demand the release of the Epstein list. No more delays. No more coverups. Justice must happen. People are hurting and dying. More victims are being created as we speak.

In France, 400,000 children and young adults depend on the child protection system, known as the Aide Sociale à l'Enfance, or ASE. As FRANCE 24's Natacha Vesnitch and Claire Paccalin report, this institution is supposed to protect them, but its failures sometimes put them in danger. Lack of placements, separation of siblings, unsuitable structures, absence of psychological support, mistreatment – the list of shortcomings within the system is long. A parliamentary commission of inquiry presented its conclusions on April 8, after months of work investigating a system undermined by dysfunction and neglect. Maëva is 23 years old. She was 16 when she was placed in the ASE, France's child protection system. Mistreated by her mother, she asked to be placed in care. Originally from the Lille region, she was sent several hundred kilometres away to the department of La Creuse. She didn't know it then, but she was among 60 children who were placed in a network of unlicensed foster families. The two men running the network were sentenced in December 2024 during a trial in Châteauroux to several years in prison for multiple acts of violence and undeclared work. Seven years after her ordeal, Maëva has strong memories of arriving in the foster family. "Due to lack of space, I was told to stay in the caravan," she recounts. "It was filthy inside, and I had to relieve myself behind the caravan because at night, they locked the house." 'ASE was the biggest problem of my life'During this placement, Maëva was not enrolled in school. She heard little from her ASE caseworker, and weeks passed until the day the teenager decided to run away. "Bruno came to have a go at me in the caravan because I was talking too much and he wanted to take away my phone. He hit me hard and I fell. Then I locked myself in the caravan. I waited a few hours, packed some belongings and ran away."This time, Maëva had no intention of turning to the ASE system. She decided to manage on her own. It was the start of a downward spiral. "I destroyed myself," Maëva recounts. "Luckily, I woke up after four years, because many girls who do that end up badly."Today, Maëva believes that her time with the ASE left indelible marks. "ASE was the biggest problem of my life," the young woman concludes.Court-ordered placements not carried outSince 1983, child protection services have been managed by departments that are supposed to immediately implement protection measures ordered by judges. But in 2023, according to the Magistrates' Union, at least 3,300 court-ordered placements were not executed by the ASE.In Nantes, the Family Court Judge Marie Le Verre estimates that about 30 of her orders remain unenforced at any given time. This situation can have serious consequences, according to her. "The risk", she explains, "is that these children no longer respect the society that did not protect them."'Child protection in France is abusive. It can even be deadly'Lack of placements, separation of siblings, unsuitable structures, absence of psychological support, mistreatment, lack of oversight of placement locations – the list of failures within French child protection is long.Olivier Treneul is a social worker in the Nord department. He campaigns daily within the SUD trade union for the department to invest more resources in child protection. "Child protection is abusive, and that's why our colleagues are suffering," explains the union spokesman. "Child protection can even be deadly: we have examples all over France of young people who died in ASE care. There are stories in hotels, like young Lily who committed suicide in January 2024. The child protection system is not just failing, it's at breaking point, not because we don't know how to do our jobs – we do know. It's because the system was not prioritised."One in four homeless people born in France were in care as a childThis view is shared by many child protection professionals. Hamza Bensatem is a former foster child. He himself was a victim of abuse in the homes where he was placed. Today, he is director of Adepape 13, an association that helps young people leaving the child protection system. He regularly organises meetings with young adults who are worried about their future. And for good reason: since 2022, the law provides support for young adults formerly placed in ASE care, but in reality, many end up on the street. One in four homeless people born in France were in care as a child.

John Maytham is joined by (a representative to be supplied) from SECTION27 to discuss a hard-won legal victory that holds an educator financially accountable after sexually assaulting a learner. The Nkomazi Magistrates Court ordered the educator to pay R38,000 in maintenance, following a case that involved repeated abuse, HIV transmission, and denial of paternity. SECTION27 reflects on the broader fight to protect learners from sexual violence in schools, the urgent need for accountability, and the organisation’s ongoing efforts to empower students through education on sexual and reproductive health rights.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this true crime story of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, I tell you about the tragic case of Baby Peter Connelly (Baby P,) the 17-month-old toddler whose life was cut short by horrific abuse in North London, England.On October 3, 2007, a 911 call from his mother, Tracy Connelly, revealed a horrific scene that would expose systemic failures in child protective services. As paramedics arrived, they found Peter unresponsive, covered in bruises, and with a myriad of injuries that shocked and sickened everyone.Listen now as I go over the timeline of Peter's life, from his birth to the series of missed opportunities by social services and medical professionals that ultimately led to his death. I recount the horrific details of his abuse, the failed interventions, and the subsequent trial that left many questioning the accountability of those responsible for his care.This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by children and the critical need for effective protective measures. I reflect on the outrage that followed Peter's death and the reforms that were demanded in the wake of such a preventable tragedy. As I navigate this heartbreaking story, I emphasize the importance of vigilance and action in the face of suspected child abuse, urging listeners to report their concerns and advocate for vulnerable children everywhere.Bonus episode of Baby P/ Ky Rants: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-ky-rants-114211020?Chapters:(02:04) This case was previously done into Patreon, where you will hear all of my rage(02:45) Peter Connolly died of following alleged child abuse(11:45) The aftermath of Peter's death triggered a series of inquiries and reviews(20:10) The Baby P case caused national outrage and calls for child protection reformThis episode is not just a recount of a tragic story; it is a call to action.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrop for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 6a, attempted infanticide is the featured crime.

Many states have laws allowing for the safe and legal surrender of infants, something that was enacted to combat the abandonment of babies. Founded in 2015 by Monica Kelsey of the small city of Woodburn, Indiana, Safe Haven Baby Boxes are constructed boxes that hold a baby similar to a bassinette. These are installed in secure locations, including fire stations, with alarming to indicate to those inside that a child has been placed inside. The babies are attended to within minutes and ultimately entrusted to the local Child Protection.https://www.shbb.org/

Pam Bondi said she had it. Then she said it was coming out at 8 AM. Then… nothing. Now, she's in hiding, refusing to address why the long-awaited Epstein list is still being kept from the public. But she's not the only one responsible for this sham. The new FBI Director, Kash Patel, and even Donald Trump are complicit in this failure to deliver the truth.And let's talk about those so-called “Conservative” influencers who turned the Bondi binders into a circus act. Handing out redacted files full of nothing but black ink wasn't a win—it was a total disgrace. They gamified children's trauma, treating the horrific abuse of minors as a political spectacle instead of demanding real justice. Rather than doubling down on their wrongness, they need to admit they got played.So, WHERE OH WHERE  is the Epstein list? Why are we STILL waiting? And who's actually protecting the predators? We're getting into all of it—no spin, no excuses, just Uncommon Sense.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/
