In today's podcast I talk about: Flying to Durban for Comrades marathon.
Buses have arrived at Durban's Sherwood Hall playground to start repatriation of thousands of displaced Malawian nationals to their country of origin. The group had sought refuge at the site after targeted threats from anti-foreigner groups forced them to flee their communities. Humanitarian groups, including Gift of the Givers, have continued to provide emergency relief while authorities co-ordinate the repatriation process. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to SABC reporter Gcinokuhle Malinga
Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Njabulo Nzuza says about 1,000 Malawian nationals camped outside Sherwood Hall in Durban have been processed and found to be in the country illegally. Congolese Solidarity Campaign President Reverend Raphael Bahebwa disputes this, saying most of the 400 refugees verified on Che Guevara Road hold valid documents. He adds those refugees were instructed this week to return to communities they fled or face transfer to Lindela Repatriation Centre. The conflicting accounts come as displaced families remain on the streets with urgent needs for food and shelter. Reverend Bahebwa joins us now for more details

Most runners dream of completing one Comrades Marathon. Donovan Shirley decided to run it twice in 24 hours. Donovan Shirley joined East Coast Breakfast to talk about his extraordinary "Get Back Up" challenge, running the Comrades route from Pietermaritzburg to Durban before turning around and joining the official race back to Pietermaritzburg. Donovan shares why the 2026 Comrades theme "Ska Fela Moya" resonates so deeply with him, and how this challenge is about much more than kilometres. Through his run, Donovan is raising awareness and funds for mental health organisations SADAG and Matthew and Me, a non-profit created in memory of Matthew Grant, a teenager who lost his battle with depression. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, men's mental health, purpose, and what it means to get back up when life knocks you down. Webpage

Die hoofinspekteur van Gautengse Verkeer, Samuel Mashaba, is voor die Madlanga-kommissie uitgevra oor sy hantering van 'n voorval met 'n vragmotor wat 715-kilogram kokaïen van 'n geraamde 300-miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand vervoer het.

Die Valke het Saterdag in die Durban-hawe in KwaZulu-Natal beslag gelê op ongeveer 90 kilogram vermoedelike kokaïen met 'n geraamde straatwaarde van 36 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand. Die Valke se woordvoerder, Katlego Mogale, sê hulle het inligting ontvang oor die dwelms wat versteek was in 'n graafmasjien wat per skip, die Neptune Ace Tokyo, uit Santos in Brasilië by die Q- en R-motorterminaal aangekom het.

‘I think Durban has a bad PR problem more than a bad reality; the minute the beach is closed, it's all over social media and they call it ‘Dirt-ban' and other things, but the water quality is better than Cape Town's – and it's certainly warmer,' says Marcel Von Aulock, CEO of the JSE-listed hotel giant.

La photo du jeune Nhlamulo Sambo, 18 ans, est partout dans la presse sud-africaine : c'est l'une des trois victimes des violences du week-end dernier dans un bidonville de Mossel Bay, ville côtière dans la province du Cap-Occidental. Les deux autres victimes sont des ressortissants mozambicains. Le jeune homme, de nationalité sud-africaine, aurait été pris pour un étranger… « Les manifestations contre la présence d'étrangers illégaux avaient débuté dans le bidonville d'Asla Park vendredi dernier, explique le Mossel Bay Advertiser, et dès le lendemain, la situation s'était envenimée, entraînant l'incendie de plusieurs maisons et laissant des centaines de personnes sans abri. » Le bilan est donc de trois morts et « plus de 400 Mozambicains ont été évacués de Mossel Bay et une centaine de ressortissants étrangers reçoivent encore de l'aide », pointe le Cape Times. Le Cape Times qui précise que ces « troubles de Mossel Bay font suite à des incidents similaires survenus dans tout le pays. (…) À l'origine de plusieurs de ces manifestations contre les étrangers sans papiers : le groupe anti-immigration March and March, relève le quotidien sud-africain, un groupe qui brandit la menace d'une grève générale le 30 juin si le gouvernement ne répond pas à ses revendications. Des informations font état de groupes d'autodéfense [au sein de ce groupe] contrôlant les papiers d'identité des étrangers et contraignant les petits commerces tenus par des non-Sud-Africains à fermer leurs portes. » Le groupe extrémiste March and march… En fait, relève Le Monde Afrique, « l'Afrique du Sud connait des tensions xénophobes allant jusqu'à la violence depuis près de vingt ans. Les populations immigrées prises pour cibles sont notamment d'origine africaine et asiatique. » Et « depuis plusieurs mois, le pays est le théâtre de manifestations portées par des groupes qui se revendiquent anti-immigration illégale. Parmi les mouvements impliqués, on retrouve (donc) ce groupuscule extrémiste March and March. Leurs rassemblements virent souvent à la chasse à l'homme, de quoi terrifier les personnes immigrées et pousser leurs gouvernements d'origine à organiser leur rapatriement. » Ce groupe, « créé l'année dernière, précise Le Point Afrique, se présente comme une organisation civile de lutte contre l'immigration illégale, qu'il juge responsable du chômage et de la criminalité, qui est très élevée. March and March affirme ne dénoncer que l'immigration illégale, ce que les victimes de leurs actions contestent. À Durban, l'épicentre des récentes manifestations, environ 500 étrangers se sont réfugiés près d'une station de police, affirmant avoir été victimes d'intimidation ou d'expulsion de leur domicile. Les autorités, qui les ont ensuite transportés dans un centre de réfugiés, ont indiqué que seules deux personnes étaient en situation irrégulière. Malgré les efforts du gouvernement de Pretoria pour désamorcer la situation – il a notamment convié les représentants de March and March à des discussions au sujet de l'immigration illégale –, le groupe reste intransigeant, relève encore Le Point Afrique : il exige le départ ou la déportation de tous les immigrés illégaux avant le 30 juin, date à laquelle il menace d'organiser un blocage national. » Évacuations massives… Conséquence de ces manifestations xénophobes et de ces menaces, pointe le Daily Maverick : « Des centaines de ressortissants étrangers sont évacués d'Afrique du Sud par leurs gouvernements respectifs. Le Nigeria prévoit de rapatrier par avion entre 2 000 et 4 000 de ses ressortissants. Le Mozambique a déjà évacué par bus 545 personnes et se tient prêt à en rapatrier davantage. Le gouvernement malawite a annoncé cette semaine qu'il aiderait également ses ressortissants à quitter l'Afrique du Sud. Et la semaine dernière, le Ghana a affrété un vol pour rapatrier 297 Ghanéens. » Mieux réguler l'immigration… Enfin, The Star, autre quotidien sud-africain, met en avant cette contradiction : « L'Afrique du Sud veut s'ouvrir aux marchés africains tout en refoulant les migrants africains. (…) Des secteurs entiers de l'économie informelle dépendent du travail transfrontalier, tout en feignant publiquement d'ignorer cette dépendance : agriculture, construction, travail domestique, hôtellerie. Ces secteurs ne pourraient fonctionner à leur échelle actuelle sans travailleurs étrangers. » Et le Star de hausser le ton : « Un État incapable de gérer les entrées et les sorties du territoire n'exerce pas sa souveraineté. L'Afrique du Sud a besoin d'une administration de l'immigration fonctionnelle, d'une application crédible de la loi et d'une réglementation du marché du travail efficace. » À lire aussiEn Afrique du Sud, des centaines de Ghanéens fuient le pays face aux tensions xénophobes

ANEW Hotels and Resorts sê die herstel van Suid-Afrika se toerisme gaan oor meer as slegs besoekersgetalle. Die groep het gedurende die Afrika-toerisme-indaba in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, gesê die sektor het herstel tot meer as 95-persent van die vlakke vóór die pandemie, maar meen die fokus moet nou op wyer ekonomiese voordele wees. Corne Visser van die maatskappy sê toerisme in Suid-Afrika moet wyer as die groot bestemmings groei sodat meer provinsies en gemeenskappe daarby kan baat:
The hill of Doves — in isiZulu amaJuba means the place of many doves or pigeons. It became a place of violence and blood, and yet the catastrophic defeat of the British at Majuba was indeed to lead to peace. The doves would fly again albeit fleetingly. As you heard last episode, British commander General George Colley had been one of the casualties of the battle — Sir Evelyn Wood was now in charge of the empire's army in the Transvaal. Or to be more accurate, in Natal attempting to enter the Transvaal. Colley was buried at Mount Prospect — the British base below Laings Nek in sight of Majuba — letters of condolence were sent to his wife Lady Colley by the Town councils of Pietermaritzburg and Durban .. and also by the Transvaal Boer Leaders. Colley had asked that his body should be allowed to remain where he fell on the battlefield, and so it was. His wife would have to travel to the Transvaal border to see where he lay. A state of war existed, the Boers continued to besiege all British garrisons in the Transvaal in early 1881. More about that in a moment. The Summer rains were falling, drenching the landscape like the blood of Majuba, and both sides sought peace. Boer emissaries had met with the Swazi king, but he was loathe to join the attack on the empires forces. On the 2nd March 1881 Evelyn Wood relayed a letter to the Boer leadership, the triumpherate as they were known from his base at Newcastle. “to President Brand, Bloemfontein, P Joubert (he means Commandant Piet Joubert, Boer commander in the Transvaal) requests me to send you the following telegram…” The British commander as postman — relaying one Boer message to another. Brand's message back was reconciliatory in tone. “…We are willing to accept every offer made by your Honour …” and by your honour Joubert meant Wood … “that peace may be, as far as it is not in direct opposition to our liberty…” That was the minimum demand — the Boers demanded their liberty. ON the 5th, Wood and his staff met Piet Joubert and Boer leaders half way between Mount Prospect and Laing's Nek in a hastily erected tent. The British hardliners were horrified - how could Wood, an English General who had now built up a force of 10 000 soldiers in Natal concede to an interview with the leaders of the enemy for the sake of gaining time to negotiate peace? Some said it was too absurd to be credited, others in the English camp were astonished. But he was also a general who represented an army that had been beaten four times in an open fight — Bronkhorspruit, Laings Nek, Schoonspruit, Majuba. Why continue the war? It was time to resolve things. While the English nationalists bayed for Boer blood, were calling for this upstart Transvaal Republic to be crushed as a warning to other rebels across the empire, cooler heads prevailed. Joining Wood were Major Frazer, Captain Maude and Mr Cropper the translator. On the Boer side, Piet Joubert, DC Uys, CJ Joubert and CHJ Fouchees, with AJ Foster interpreting. A tight group. The fewer involved the better. Wood opened with meeting with an explanation — he was there to call for an armistice so that Kruger and the Volksraad could reply to General Colley's communication of the 21st February re: peace. The entire meeting was to last an astonishing 90 minutes. Joubert presented the Transvaal position most concisely, Complete amnesty for all leaders, freedom of the Transvaal from British government although they'd accept suzerainty, no interference in Transvaal's internal affairs — they meant on matters pertaining to race and land. It was the word suzerainty that was the problem child here. To the British government, particularly officials in London, suzerainty implied that the restored Boer republic in the Transvaal would enjoy internal self-government but would remain subordinate to the British Crown in matters such as foreign relations as well as overall imperial authority. The Boer negotiators understood the term far more loosely.
Are Art and Upheaval totally incompatible or unavoidably connected?We're rebroadcasting this episode from 2022, in part, because the ground beneath it hasn't settled—it's shifted, cracked, and in some places, caught fire again. The headlines keep reminding us: conflict, repression, dislocation, the slow erosion—and sometimes the sudden collapse—of trust in our institutions and in each other.And right there, in the middle of it, the same quiet, stubborn truth this episode points to: if you scratch the surface of upheaval, you will find artists. Not on the sidelines—on the frontlines. Bearing witness. Making meaning. Holding the line while other systems falose thier grip.Three things to listen for as you step in:First, the insistence that art is not ornamental in times of crisis—it's operational. It does real work in real conditions.Second, the pattern: loss, rupture, and then—again and again—creative acts that stitch something back together. Not perfectly. But enough to move forward.And third, the wager at the heart of it all: that imagination isn't an escape from reality—it's a tool for reshaping it.Some people still think you can't beat the devil with a song.Listen closely.Then decide for yourself.Notable MentionsFor this episode of Change the Story Change the World we are going to revisit some of those Art and Upheaval stories along with the song of the same name to make a point. Yea, some people think you can't beat the devil with a song, but they don't know!Art & Upheaval (song) From the CD Songlines by Cleveland Plainsong:Art & Upheaval: Artists at Work on the World's Frontlines, New Village PressChange the Story Change the WorldSouth African Bill of Rights: The Bill of Rights is arguably the part of the Constitution that has had the greatest impact on life in this country. As the first words of this chapter say: "This Bill of Rights is a cornerstone of democracy in South Africa. It enshrines the rights of all people in our country and affirms the democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom."It has also been the source of the majority of the groundbreaking rulings the Constitutional Court has handed down. To read more about selected rights and the way the Constitutional Court has interpreted them, see children's rights, women's rights, gay and lesbian rights, workers' rights and access to information.Art for Humanity: engages with multidisciplinary arts practice and a wide variety of creative practice within the context of the pressing need for the centering of social justice in our contemporary moment. Based primarily in Durban, the organization aims to support, host, document, create space for, catalyze, and help stimulate this intersection between the arts and questions of history, social transformation and social justice. Bishop Desmond Tutu: was a South African Anglican bishop and theologian, known for his work as an anti-apartheid and human rights activist. He was Bishop of Johannesburg from 1985 to 1986 and then Archbishop of Cape Town from 1986 to 1996, in both cases being the first black African to hold the position. Theologically, he sought to fuse ideas from black theology with African theology.Khmer Rouge: The Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK), otherwise known as the Khmer Rouge, took control of Cambodia on April 17, 1975. The CPK created the state of Democratic Kampuchea in 1976 and ruled the country until January 1979. The party's existence was kept secret until 1977, and no one outside the CPK knew who its leaders were (the leaders called themselves “Angkar Padevat”).While the Khmer Rouge was in power, they set up policies that disregarded human life and produced repression and massacres on a massive scale. They turned the country into a huge detention center, which later became a graveyard for nearly two million people, including their own members and even some senior leaders.Reyum Institute of Arts and Culture: Reyum was a non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to Cambodian arts and culture. Reyum was founded by Ly Daravuth and Ingrid Muan (1964 - 2005) in December 1998 in order to provide a forum for research, preservation, and promotion of traditional and contemporary Cambodian arts and culture.Watts Writers Workshop: was a creative writing group initiated by screenwriter Budd Schulberg in the wake of the devastating August 1965 Watts Riots in South Central Los Angeles (now South Los Angeles). Schulberg later said: "In a small way, I wanted to help.... The only thing I knew was writing, so I decided to start a writers' workshop."[1] The group, which functioned from 1965 to 1973, was composed primarily of young African Americans in Watts and the surrounding neighborhoods. Early on, the Workshop included a theatrical component and one of the founders was the actor Yaphet Kotto. The group expanded its facilities and activities over the next several years with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. Government files later revealed that the Workshop had been the target of covert operations by the FBI. Writers involved in the Workshop include Quincy Troupe, Samuel Harris Jr better known as Leumas Sirrah, Johnie Scott, Eric Priestley, Ojenke, Herbert Simmons, and Wanda Coleman, as well as the poetry group Watts Prophets.Amde Hamilton: Father Amde is widely recognized for being one of the original poets in the world famous Watts Writers Workshop during the 1960's, where he and two other poets formed the legendary rap group, the Watts Prophets. Amid racism, poverty, and police brutality that ultimately sparked the Watts Riots, the Watts Writers Workshop tapped into the young, Black voices of Los Angeles that needed to be heard.Watts Prophets: The Watts Prophets are a group of musicians and poets from Watts,
