Haniff Hoosen made the trip from Durban to BizNews's Hermanus studio with a blunt message: the ANC is finished in eThekwini, and what replaces it could be worse. The DA's mayoral candidate walked through how a metro that once out-drew Cape Town for tourists now loses 65% of its water to 13,000 active leaks, why he believes MK is running a placeholder candidate to make way for a scandal-tainted former mayor, and why he isn't arguing with The Economist's description of South Africa drifting into a "mafia state." He also put a number on his own chances in November: five out of ten, a coin flip between the DA and a party he says is already broke.

President Xi Jinping will attend the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi from Saturday to Sunday at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced on Thursday.The meeting is widely expected to inject fresh momentum into BRICS cooperation, help BRICS countries and the wider Global South expand the pie of win-win cooperation, and reaffirm their commitment to multilateralism, experts said.India has adopted "Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability" as the theme of its 2026 BRICS presidency, with a stated emphasis on a people-centric approach and stronger cooperation among countries of the Global South.Initially comprising Brazil, Russia, India and China, the grouping later welcomed South Africa and has since expanded further to 11 members. According to figures published on India's official BRICS presidency website, the 11 members account for about 49.5 percent of the world's population, 40 percent of global GDP and 26 percent of global trade."Xi's attendance once again demonstrates the importance that China consistently attaches to BRICS cooperation, the development of the mechanism and the common development of Global South countries," said Su Xiao hui, an associate research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies.China's role in advancing BRICS cooperation will again be highlighted at the summit, she said.Cooperation with other BRICS countries has long been a priority of China's foreign policy. Xi's first appearance at a major international multilateral meeting after becoming Chinese president was at the fifth BRICS Summit, held in Durban, South Africa, in March 2013.Wang You ming, a researcher on developing countries at the China Institute of International Studies, said the upcoming summit holds particular significance, as it coincides with the 20th anniversary of the launch of BRICS cooperation."One of the biggest highlights will be Xi's trip to India after seven years," Wang said. "China and India are not only close neighbors, but also founding members and major participants in BRICS. The state of their relationship has a direct bearing on the development of the mechanism."China and India have expressed mutual support for each other in hosting BRICS events, with India holding the rotating presidency this year and China set to assume the presidency next year."Multilateral platforms can create opportunities for bilateral engagement, while improving bilateral relations can in turn facilitate coordination within multilateral mechanisms," Wang said.At a time when unilateral trade measures and disruptions to global industrial and supply chains are placing mounting pressure on developing economies, the summit is expected to amplify the voice of the Global South and strengthen coordination in upholding an open world economy and the multilateral trading system, he added.Wang said BRICS cooperation had gradually moved beyond broad policy declarations toward concrete programs involving small and medium-sized enterprises, cities, young people and people-to-people exchanges.According to Wang, emerging sectors such as the digital economy, green development and artificial intelligence are also likely to provide new areas of growth for BRICS cooperation.Emmanuel Frimpong Sarpong, who holds a PhD from the University of Nottingham Ningbo China and is the lead author of a study on China's role in BRICS, said China has played an instrumental role in the development of the BRICS mechanism.He described the New Development Bank as one of the grouping's most significant achievements. By the end of 2025, the bank had approved $42.9 billion in financing for 139 projects covering clean energy, transportation, water and sanitation, environmental protection, and social and digital infrastructure, according to the bank.

Residents in Durban’s Berea say weekend nightlife has become a serious problem, with excessive noise, traffic, overcrowding, litter and partygoers spilling into the surrounding residential streets. One resident, who has lived in the area for more than 15 years, says the disruption has become so bad that she is now considering selling her home and leaving the area. Ward 33 councillor Fran Kristopher is also demanding answers over what residents describe as a lack of Metro Police enforcement and response when they report problems. But it raises a bigger question: If you live in an area that becomes a popular nightlife hotspot, how much disruption should you be expected to tolerate? Would you put up with the noise because you love your neighbourhood or would you eventually pack up and leave? Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

Cape Town created 418,000 jobs in five years while the rest of the country's economy shrank last quarter. Its new DA leader, Geordin Hill-Lewis, thinks that number is the party's best argument for why voters should hand it six or seven of South Africa's major metros on 4 November, from Johannesburg to Durban. He talks to Alec Hogg about the jobs data, the ANC's Gwede Mantashe getting caught on camera implying a voter's grandchild's grant comes from the ANC, a pet permit bylaw row he calls misinformation, and a Bloemfontein court fight that could keep the ANC off the ballot in Mangaung altogether. Fifty four days out, he says nobody else is even campaigning yet.

At BNC#9 in the Drakensberg, Public Works Minister Dean Macpherson sat down for a wide-ranging Q&A on why R100 billion in municipal infrastructure grants gets sent back to Treasury every year, unspent, and what he's doing to stop it. He unpacks the layered structure of the construction mafia, explains why his department is about to auction off nearly a thousand state properties, and lifts the lid on a R6 billion-a-year office leasing bill that once let a fraudulent tender through the back door. Along the way, he makes a case for why the 4 November local elections could reshape South African politics from the ward up, not the top down. Watch for his read on Cape Town's infrastructure model, the uMngeni turnaround, and why he thinks a Durban by-election result is a preview of what's coming.

This episode sees Mark in conversation with jazz musician Darius Brubeck and documentary filmmaker Michiel ten Kleij to discuss their documentary Playing the Changes: Tracking Darius Brubeck, which traces how jazz became a quiet force for political change in apartheid-era South Africa. Ten Kleij explains how a planned film about the 1958 Brubeck Quartet tour behind the Iron Curtain evolved, once a rival BBC documentary was announced, into a broader, independently-financed story spanning Poland and Durban. Darius Brubeck reflects candidly on growing up in his father's shadow, the 'dynastic' continuity jazz offered black South African audiences under apartheid, and the guidance of his wife Catherine in shaping how he used his own talents for purpose rather than pure virtuosity.This episode was recorded at the Provence Arts Festival du Film, an annual festival founded by Lucy Darwin, dedicated to documentary cinema and the arts held in the hilltop village of Ménerbes, which this year focused on music documentaries.This episode was produced by Hedda Lornie Archbold and recorded and edited by Richard Gay.With thanks to Lucy Darwin and the Provence Arts Festival du Film, and to Darius Brubeck and Michiel ten Kleij.Kermode on Film is an HLA Agency production© HLA Agency Hosted on Acast.

25 years ago, the World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance took place in Durban, South Africa. It was August 31-September 7, 2001, extended by a day to the 8th. Israel's ambassador to South Africa at the time was Tova Herzl. She speaks to KAN's David Ze'ev about the conference and her tumultuous time in South Africa which led to her early retirement from the foreign service.

A Durban mother is living every parent's worst nightmare. Linda Govender's 33-year-old daughter, Terricia, is among four South Africans missing after devastating flash floods struck near the Nepal-Tibet border. Terricia had travelled alone from South Africa to take part in a spiritual pilgrimage to Mount Kailash. Now, her family is desperately waiting for any news that she is safe. Speaking to Darren, Linda shared the heartbreaking moment she realised her daughter was missing, saying: “We never expected this… but not for this, Darren, not for this.” As the search continues, Linda and her family are holding onto hope, prayer and the possibility that Terricia and the others will be found safe.

With South Africa's premier universities oversubscribed and the cost of popular overseas destinations like the UK, US, Australia, and Canada soaring, families could pivot to highly competitive, cost-effective global alternatives. Sable International's Brent Morris told BizNews in an interview that Mauritius, the UAE, and Malaysia now offer highly attractive degrees, rivalling the total costs of studying at some local South African institutions, such as Stellenbosch. This option is particularly attractive for students pursuing highly sought-after, niche courses such as medicine, psychology, and engineering. Morris said some of these emerging educational hubs hosted fully accredited branch campuses of world-class British and Australian universities, allowing students to earn identical international degrees closer to home. High school leavers and parents seeking more information can attend Sable's upcoming Study Abroad Expo. The expo, featuring representatives from 30 international universities, will be held on 7 September in Johannesburg, 8 September in Durban, and 9 September in Stellenbosch. - Linda van Tilburg

Five metros are up for grabs, the ANC has slipped to third place in its own heartland, and Geordin Hill-Lewis says the party's decline can no longer be reversed. In this Q&A with Alec Hogg and the BNC#9 floor, the DA federal leader and Cape Town mayor lays out exactly how close the race in Johannesburg and Durban really is, why he will not go near an MK coalition, what the Madlanga Commission has confirmed about state capture, and how long it will actually take to fix crime, Home Affairs and the rest of a broken state. He also fields the hard questions from the floor, on cabinet size, meritocracy, failing rural municipalities and whether young South Africans should even bother staying.

From a young age he was one of the most exciting surfers in the world, and in 1977 he became the IPS World Surfing Champion — one of the most celebrated titles in the history of the sport. He competed on the professional tour for 16 years, winning 19 major pro events, and was named one of the ten greatest surfers of the century by Surfer Magazine. He also revolutionised surfboard design and tube riding, leaving a mark on the sport that is still felt today.But Shaun's story doesn't stop at world titles. After retiring from competition he built successful surf apparel brands, became a passionate environmental advocate through his work with the Surfrider Foundation, and produced the award-winning documentary Bustin' Down the Door — the story of how his generation put professional surfing on the map.And then, in 2006, his teenage son Mathew died during a schoolboy prank gone wrong. By his own words, Shaun was totally lost in grief. What followed was one of the most remarkable acts of transformation I have ever heard — channelling unimaginable loss into a powerful message about resilience, purpose and living with intention. His books, including the bestselling Surfer's Code and The Code, and his keynote speaking work have since inspired everyone from Fortune 500 executives to students across the world.This conversation covers all of it.

In August 2001, Jewish delegates arrived at the UN World Conference Against Racism in Durban expecting to fight bigotry. Instead they walked into what Tom Lantos called the most sickening display of hatred for Jews since the Nazi period. Noam traces how Durban revived "Zionism is racism," seeded the modern BDS movement, and still shapes how the world sees Jews and Israel today, closing with Rabbi Jonathan Sacks and his question of whether the Jewish people are alone or simply apart.

La SADC peut-elle encore peser sur les crises qui secouent l'Afrique australe ? Cette organisation régionale, qui réunit seize pays du sud du continent, tient son sommet des chefs d'État ce lundi 17 août à Durban, en Afrique du Sud. Alors que le conflit dans l'est de la République démocratique du Congo a profondément mis à l'épreuve sa capacité à agir militairement et diplomatiquement, quel rôle peut-elle encore jouer face aux crises de la région ? Al Kitenge, expert en stratégie économique et en innovation, répond aux questions de Clothilde Hazard. RFI : Ce lundi se réunissent les chefs d'État de la SADC, l'Organisation régionale d'Afrique australe. Ces dernières années, la région a été secouée par de nombreuses crises importantes. La plus importante dans l'est de la RDC. Mais la SADC semble peiner à apporter des réponses efficaces à ces crises. Est-ce qu'elle est devenue impuissante ? Al Kitenge : Effectivement, la SADC est devenue quasi impuissante parce qu'elle n'a pas été en mesure de régler le problème géopolitique. Et cela a un impact complet sur tout le reste. Et les questions économiques et les questions de politique générale. Pour ce qui est de la crise à l'est de la RDC, comment vous expliquez l'échec de la SADC ? L'échec de la SADC est de n'avoir pas été en mesure de régler de manière frontale les questions qui opposaient ses propres membres. Donc, il est inacceptable que des questions d'instabilité se soient fait remarquer dans la région et que la SADC n'ait pas été en mesure de prendre des dispositions correctes. L'Angola a essayé, mais c'était des échecs successifs. Et le cas de la RDC est un cas non isolé. Quels sont les autres cas ? Le cas du Burundi avec le Rwanda, les grandes difficultés que l'on a aujourd'hui en Afrique du Sud avec les questions d'immigration. Comment vous expliquez que la SADC, justement sur le plan géopolitique, n'arrive pas à trouver des solutions ? La SADC n'est pas organisée pour régler ces situations. À la première épreuve, on s'est rendu compte qu'elle est extrêmement faible. Et ça, on le remarque également quand vous regardez les échanges commerciaux. Il n'y a aucune préférence d'échanges commerciaux entre les pays de la SADC et aujourd'hui, c'est la plus grosse faiblesse. On a les faiblesses géopolitiques, on a des faiblesses économiques. Ces pays n'ont pas les mêmes intérêts financiers. Lorsque vous regardez les pays anglophones, ils sont tournés vers le Royaume-Uni et les pays francophones sont tournés vers la France et la Belgique. Et cette dissension, justement, fait que dans les échanges commerciaux, les intérêts ne sont pas les mêmes. Regardez la question énergétique qui aurait pu être une question qui pouvait être réglée de manière claire. La SADC n'a pas de politique intégrée qui puisse être en mesure de résoudre les choses. Comment faire pour que les intérêts soient convergents justement ? Faire un petit peu ce qu'a échoué l'Union africaine, s'assurer que, du point de vue de l'intégration économique, les pays soient plus proches. En ayant une intégration économique, on peut avoir l'intégration politique et géopolitique. Il faudrait avoir une mutualisation d'un certain nombre d'éléments, en l'occurrence les infrastructures, les transports et l'énergie. Mais il y a quelque chose de très simple qu'il faudrait être en mesure de regarder. Aujourd'hui, nous avons le grand choc lié au détroit d'Ormuz. Et on se rend bien compte que, comme des gens sans intelligence collective, nous avons tous perdu. Et ce qu'il faut regarder aujourd'hui, c'est que, nous devrions avoir la possibilité de développer des solutions locales - quand je dis locales, ça veut dire régionales. Et cette question de Covid qui nous a pratiquement bousculé, la guerre entre l'Ukraine et la Russie, même chose, mais nous sommes en troisième choc frontal exogène qui aurait bien pu nous questionner. Mais si les gens ne se questionnent pas, ce sera très difficile qu'ils aient des résultats conjoints. Concrètement, est-ce qu'on parle de corridors ? Est-ce qu'on parle de politiques communes ? Quelles sont les marges de manœuvre de la SADC ? Les seules marges de manœuvre sont financières et économiques. Je donne un exemple très simple : l'Union africaine a échoué, en tout cas dans les dix dernières années, à mettre en place le centre d'échange financier. Rien qu'à cause de ça, nous sommes toujours sur le swift, qui est un élément qui ne permet pas des échanges locaux. C'est ce genre de choses qui auraient pu être des soudures entre les pays. Et tant que nous n'en sommes pas encore là, tant que nous n'avons pas les mêmes intérêts économiques et financiers, il est très difficile que le déséquilibre politique ou géopolitique d'un pays intéresse les autres. Est-ce que vous pensez que la SADC aujourd'hui s'attelle justement à régler ce problème d'intérêts différents ? Les citoyens de ces pays sont en train de regarder. Ce qui se passe en Afrique du Sud est une honte générale. Et si on n'arrive pas à résoudre toutes ces questions en même temps, la SADC aura perdu son crédit. Oui, le sommet a lieu à Durban, en Afrique du Sud. Les tensions anti-migrants dans le pays touchent directement plusieurs pays de la SADC, puisque beaucoup des migrants concernés viennent des pays voisins. Est-ce que c'est justement un dossier sur lequel l'organisation pourrait davantage intervenir et sur lequel elle pourrait discuter à l'occasion de ce sommet ? Déjà, pour qu'ils aient la capacité de se regarder droit dans les yeux, il faudrait qu'ils règlent et qu'ils parlent de manière frontale de la question et qu'elle soit traitée. Parce que le vivre ensemble des populations engendre les échanges commerciaux et les échanges des biens des personnes. Vous vous rendez bien compte, par exemple, pour le Congo : une grande part de Sud-Africains travaille dans le secteur minier. Imaginez que du jour au lendemain, on commence à chasser ces personnes. Ce sera la catastrophe la plus générale. Est-ce qu'aujourd'hui on a quand même des exemples de corridors de ces infrastructures partagées ? Si on prend des exemples concrets ? Le corridor de Lobito est en train d'en devenir un. Il part de Johannesburg, il passe par la Zambie, il va jusqu'en Angola. C'est une première opportunité. Et la deuxième opportunité, c'est le développement des nouvelles infrastructures. En RDC, par exemple, tout ce qui est Moanda et la RN1. Le corridor de Lobito sert des intérêts connus qui sont les intérêts des États-Unis, qui ont investi à la fois dans les infrastructures en Zambie, en Angola, même en termes de production d'énergie, mais également en termes de rail. Et cela voudrait justement aider la Zambie et la RDC à augmenter leur capacité de production en métaux stratégiques pour être en mesure d'alimenter le marché international. Ça touche la Zambie, ça touche la RDC et ça touche l'Angola, qui sont trois pays de la SADC. Et la capacité à résoudre des problèmes conjoints peut permettre justement que nous soyons en mesure de pouvoir consolider à la fois les relations pour que les uns et les autres soient interconnectés. La seule chose qui peut mettre les pays ensemble, ce sont leurs intérêts.

Moçambique: ANAMOLA deve exigir responsabilização e processar a polícia na província da Zambézia, defende jornalista. Angola: Como vai o acesso ao emprego e a formação profissional? Manifestantes anti-imigração marcharam hoje em Durban, à margem da cimeira da SADC, a exigir que os países dos líderes presentes "recebam de volta os seus cidadãos".

Die adjunkminister van Internasionale Betrekkinge en Samewerking, Thandi Moraka, het die media gevra om ʼn meer ingeligte begrip van migrasie en streeksverhoudings te help bevorder. Sy het mense wat Suid-Afrika binnekom aangemoedig om immigrasiewette en -regulasies na te kom voor vandag se 46ste algemene vergadering van die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap in Durban. Moraka sê migrasie is ʼn wêreldwye verskynsel, want mense beweeg oor grense weens onder meer ekonomiese geleenthede en akademiese ontwikkeling:

Suid-Afrikaanse president Cyril Ramaphosa sê die versterking van landbou-waardekettings en die bou van klimaat-veerkragtige voedselstelsels moet voorkeur geniet om voedselsekerheid te verbeter en volhoubare ekonomiese groei te ondersteun. Hy het tydens die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskaps-beraad in Durban gevra vir verhoogde landbouproduksie, sterker streeks-voedselreserwes en groter ondersteuning vir klein- en opkomende boere. Ramaphosa het lande ook aangemoedig om ten volle die geleenthede te benut wat die Afrika-vryhandelsgebied bied:

Die Nasionale Gesamentlike Operasionele en Intelligensiestruktuur sê drie mense wat probeer het om ongemagtigde toegang tot die 46ste beraad van die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap in Durban te verkry, is in hegtenis geneem. Twee Kongolese burgers is Saterdag in hegtenis geneem nadat hulle probeer het om toegang tot die lokaal te verkry met akkreditasie wat nie aan hulle uitgereik is nie. Verlede week is 'n Zimbabwiese burger ook in hegtenis geneem nadat hy na bewering probeer het om akkreditasie te bekom onder die dekmantel van 'n uitvoerende kunstenaar. Nasionale polisiewoordvoerder, Athlenda Mathe, sê ontwrigting sal nie geduld word nie:

17 Augustus 2026: Staatshoofde kom in Durban aan vir die 46ste beraad van die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkeling-gemeenskap. Die SAKP maak sy verkiesingsmanifes onafhanklik bekend. Die Amerikaanse senaat verleng AGOA vir 'n verdere twee jaar - ons praat oor die implikasies vir Suid-Afrika.

Die minister van internasionale betrekkinge en samewerking, Ronald Lamola, het die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap gevra om die stryd teen honger te versterk. Die minister het in sy afsluitingsrede tydens die vergadering van die SAOG-ministersraad in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, die vordering geloof wat Tanzanië, Zambië, Zimbabwe en Namibië gemaak het in hul pogings om honger te bekamp. Lamola sê 58 miljoen mense in die streek leef egter steeds met die onsekerheid of daar kos op die tafel gaan wees:

We are fast approaching the 25th anniversary of a "travesty," as NGO Monitor's Prof. Gerald Steinberg calls it – the UN's Durban conference on racism. The corruption behind that event set the tone for the systemic corruption of non-governmental organizations ever since, especially in the campaign to isolate and destroy Israel. Prof. Steinberg and I walk through how the UN set up the conference to boost Islamists and leftist regimes, how NGOs have served that agenda since, and especially how that led directly to the NYT's infamous "rape dogs" story this year.

The Greatest Rivalry Tour is officially underway, and naturally that means it's time for everyone to start drawing enormous conclusions from a handful of rugby games that probably don't deserve enormous conclusions.First up, the All Blacks took on the Stormers in Cape Town and, for a good chunk of the game, it was a seriously butt-puckering affair. The All Blacks stuttered, spluttered and at times played more like poo than an international rugby side, while an under-strength Stormers team — missing their Springboks — gave them absolute hell. The ageless Deon Fourie was somehow still out there causing problems, before the All Blacks eventually located their rugby brains, pulled away late and finished with a 38–21 win.Then it was the Springboks' turn, heading to Argentina with plenty of big names left back in South Africa but still carrying some serious quality. Against an under-strength Pumas side, however, they made life look considerably harder than anyone expected.Cue several days of South African fans and pundits performing Olympic-level mental gymnastics explaining why the Bok performance was actually encouraging while the All Blacks' was apparently evidence that New Zealand rugby had entered its final death spiral.The more boring answer? There probably wasn't that much to read into either game.Then came Durban.On a sodden track, the All Blacks faced the Sharks in game two of the Greatest Rivalry series — and suddenly Ma'a Nonu appeared in a Sharks jersey. Because apparently 2026 has completely stopped obeying the normal laws of rugby.Before kick-off, Nonu produced one of the most surreal and memorable moments of the tour so far, standing alone and returning Kapa o Pango with a one-man haka.Unfortunately for the Sharks, that was about as competitive as the evening got.The All Blacks absolutely pumped a young Sharks side 54–0 in what eventually became more training run than test of character. Nonu arrived around the 60-minute mark, produced a couple of nice touches, and reminded everyone that he remains approximately 400 years old and still capable of playing professional rugby.Elsewhere, Australia edged Japan in a relatively tight affair, we attempt to decide whether anything we've seen so far actually matters, and begin the inevitable overanalysis as the real meat of the Greatest Rivalry Tour creeps closer.Sorry this one's a little late.Massive thanks to Sports4cast.com for the beers.Grab a beer and Enjoy

We are two games into the RGR Tour (Phil has exhausted our free tokens for the full name) and the All Blacks have as many questions as they do answers. Cape Town was treated to a spectacle on and off the field against a second string side, while Durban was a damp downer against a more formidable lineup. The Boks out-gritted the Argentinians away but at the cost of their captain, while the All Blacks have also been losing men early. How will the two teams cope over the coming weeks? Who will be first choice come the Ellis Park opener on both sides? We try to channel our inner Rassie and we're probably way off, but please have a listen anyway. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.

The All Blacks have blitzed the Sharks 54-nil at a soaked Durban to go two wins from two matches on their rugby tour of South Africa. New Zealand ran in eight tries, six of which came in the second half. Former All Black Sir John Kirwan believes the side is making progress in preparing for how to shut down the Springboks in the first test on Sunday week. He told Mike Hosking they're breaking down how the South Africans play and the counters are starting to take shape – a better kicking game, kicking behind them, and trying to break down the closing of the gate defence. Kirwan says they're building in the right direction. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chosen by Dylan, Once Were Warriors was adapted from Alan Duff's bestselling 1990 novel by screenwriter Riwia Brown. Made for approximately NZ$2 million and filmed over a demanding six-week shoot, it marked the feature-directing debut of Lee Tamahori. Much of the production took place around Ōtara in South Auckland, grounding the film's urban Māori setting in real locations rather than a carefully polished studio version of New Zealand. Rena Owen and Temuera Morrison lead the cast as Beth and Jake Heke, supported by Julian Arahanga, Mamaengaroa Kerr-Bell, Taungaroa Emile and Cliff Curtis.The film became a major domestic success, earning approximately NZ$6.7 million and setting a new record at the New Zealand box office. It swept nine categories at the 1994 New Zealand Film Awards and collected further honours at festivals including Montreal, Durban, Venice and Rotterdam. Its international acclaim launched Tamahori towards Hollywood and helped raise the global profiles of Owen, Morrison and Curtis. More than three decades later, it remains one of New Zealand cinema's most influential, confronting and difficult-to-forget films. Definitely not one to throw on when the family asks for “something light.”TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISIn the streets of South Auckland… one family is fighting a war that nobody outside their home can see.Beth Heke dreams of holding her family together. But her husband Jake is a man of charm, pride and explosive rage—and when the drinking starts, their home becomes a battleground.As their children search for belonging in gangs, institutions and the traditions of their ancestors, Beth must rediscover the strength of the people she came from. This time… being a warrior means knowing what is worth fighting for.FUN FACTSOnce Were Warriors opened in only four New Zealand cinemas, yet still earned a record-breaking NZ$114,000 during its opening run.The house used as the Heke family home was a real state house on O'Connor Street in Ōtara.Local residents reportedly complained about the noise generated while the production filmed the Hekes' late-night parties.Producer Robin Scholes had previously worked mainly in television; this became the first feature released by Communicado Productions.Stuart Dryburgh's cinematography helped him build an international career that later included The Piano, The Painted Veil and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.Temuera Morrison later became internationally recognised as Jango Fett and the clone troopers in the Star Wars franchise.Rena Owen also joined the Star Wars universe, appearing in Attack of the Clones and providing additional voices for the film.Cliff Curtis has portrayed characters from numerous ethnic backgrounds throughout his career, but Once Were Warriors gave him one of his earliest major New Zealand film roles.A sequel, What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?, arrived in 1999, with Morrison and several other cast members returning.A twentieth-anniversary documentary, Once Were the Cast of Warriors, reunited members of the cast in 2014 to examine the film's impact and what happened after its release.SUPPORT THE SHOW If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

Empezamos con un refrán de pueblo —el cántaro vacío es el que más ruido hace— para recordar que los idiotas gritan mucho pero nunca fueron mayoría, y de ahí saltamos al cielo de Irán: un piloto de F-15 derribado (por segunda vez en semanas, ojo, la primera por fuego amigo) que asegura haber visto una "medusa" de drones interconectados flotando sobre él, un relato tan raro que ha abierto un debate sin cerrar dentro de la inteligencia estadounidense. Después, una Iotopía dedicada a tres nombres imprescindibles de lo insólito: Charles Fort, el hombre que fichó 25.000 hechos malditos; Charles Richet, premio Nobel entregado a la metapsíquica; y J. B. Rhine, el padre estadístico de la parapsicología. Viajamos también al año 365 para contar cómo el jefe de la oficina de secretos del Imperio Romano, Procopio, estuvo a punto de quedarse con media Roma con una túnica prestada y un trapito púrpura en la mano. Y dos casos ovni de primera división: Falcon Lake, el expediente canadiense de 1967 en el que Stefan Michalak acabó con el pecho quemado en cuadrícula y una investigación oficial incapaz de refutar su historia; y la carta privada de Barbara Graves, escrita en 1953 desde Durban y aparecida hace nada en una caja de un mercadillo inglés, que casualmente coincide en día y ciudad con el avistamiento de dos oficiales de la Fuerza Aérea sudafricana.
