CityMenderSA was created by KwaZuluNatal engineering student Keyuren Maharaj to help residents report and track local infrastructure problems, an idea sparked by his experience chairing a ratepayers' association in Durban. He told BizNews that the app began as a simple tool for documenting servicedelivery failures but has since grown into a national platform covering 36 categories of issues across South Africa.Reports logged on the app are escalated directly to municipal councils, with updates and followups managed through features like WhatsApp integration to encourage faster responses. Maharaj stresses that user privacy is central: the platform collects no personal data beyond the WhatsApp phone number. With AI now built in, CityMenderSA can estimate realtime water loss from leaks and analyse patterns across municipalities. When Maharaj ran the algorithm on seven months of Johannesburg data, even the small sample of issues logged on the app revealed hundreds of thousands of litres of water lost. Bootstrapped from the start, CityMenderSA is already available in Afrikaans, Zulu and English, with more African languages on the way. Maharaj describes it as a “virtual butler for service delivery.” Once an issue is logged, he says, users know it's being tracked, increasing the chances it will eventually be fixed.

Two alleged drug dealers have been arrested after they were found in possession of 300,000 rand worth of drugs in Durban's Point area. Police in KZN say they conducted a sting operation targeting the two suspects who had been under surveillance. During the operation, the team apprehended both suspects. The 29-year-old suspect was found in possession of twenty (20) glass vials of cocaine powder, whilst the 32-year-old suspect was found in possession of 4,200 pieces of rock cocaine, 300 capsules of heroin, 46 glass vials of heroin powder, and 38 Mandrax tablets. The recovered drugs are estimated to have a street value of approximately R330 000. KZN police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Paul Magwaza explains

This episode is brought to you by the BISA Environment and Climate Politics Working Group. African Climate Futures (Oxford UP, 2025) shows how climate-changed futures are imagined in Africa and by Africans, and how these future visions shape political debates and struggles in the present. Scientific climate scenarios forecast bleak futures, with increased droughts, floods, lethal heatwaves, sea level rises, declining crop yields, and greater exposure to vector-borne diseases. Yet, African climate futures could also encompass energy transitions and socio-economic revolutions, transformed political agency and human subjectivities, and radically reparative more-than-human climate politics. At the heart of the book is an original and interdisciplinary approach. It studies official climate policy strategies and fictional texts side-by-side, as ecopolitical imaginaries that envision low-carbon, climate-changed futures, and narrate pathways from 'here' to 'there'. It discusses net zero strategies from Ethiopia, The Gambia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zimbabwe and draws on postcolonial, feminist, and queer theory, arguing that Africanfuturist climate fiction can inspire more radical, reparative, more-than-human ecopolitical imaginaries. These stories can help us to understand the debts we all owe, imagine what reparations might entail, and explore the contours of living convivially alongside more-than-human others in heterotopian, climate-changed futures. Stories can help explore how we might feel in climate-changed futures and can help us to narrate a path through them. This book uses Africanfuturist climate fiction to inspire new ways of challenging and enriching theoretical debates in global climate change politics, including how we understand the places, temporalities, ecologies, and politics of climate futures. If we want to survive to tell new stories in liveable futures then we need to urgently and radically transform carboniferous capitalism. Carl Death joined the University of Manchester in August 2013 as a Senior Lecturer in International Political Economy, after four years in the Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University, and a year in the School of Law and Government, Dublin City University. He has conducted research in South Africa, Tanzania and the USA, and has held visiting researcher positions at The MacMillan Centre for International and Area Studies and the Agrarian Studies Program at Yale University; the Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research (WISER) at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg; Stellenbosch University; and the Centre for Civil Society (CCS) at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban. Pauline Heinrichs is a Lecturer in War Studies (Climate and Energy) at King's College London. Her research focuses climate and energy security. Pauline has worked with and led international teams in conflict and post-conflict countries such as Ukraine and the Baltic States, leading on qualitative methods and strategic narrative analysis.

Last summer 2025 I made my first ever trip to South Africa, specifically Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. I went there to make connections, interview local jazz artists, elders and community leaders.  One of the very talented artists I connected with was jazz drummer, composer and scholar Tumi Mogorosi. We took a deep dive into his journey as an artist and activist. He spoke about what inspired him to play the drums and to study the rich history of this music we call jazz. He expressed the importance of knowing his history as a South African and all that it entails, including the horrors of apartheid, the 1976 Soweto uprising and the injustices that continue to exist today. We dove into his projects as a leader which include the 2014 “Project Elo”, “Sanctum Santorium” with his partner and vocalist Gabi Motuba, and his most recent album Group Theory: Black Music. We touched on his collaborations with Shabaka Hutchings' Shabaka and The Ancestors and lastly as a historian, he expressed his deep appreciation for Frantz Fanon and why his work is so relevant, even today.

Jo-Anne discusses how identity, displacement, and resilience shaped her life, her career in art history, and ultimately her path to self-discovery. Her story is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the universal quest to find where one truly belongs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Driving Down to Durban by Radio Islam

Understanding the experience of young people as they cross borders is the aim of a new project. The GRABS project, funded by the European Research Council, is documenting the lives of migrants, but instead of just talking in an interview with the youngsters, it's trying to understand their situation and hopes for the future. To do so, the team is using methods like photography exhibitions and podcasts. In Perspective, we spoke to Dr Glenda Santana de Andrade, from the GRABS team and Paris 8 University, and to one of the photographers taking part, Israel Wabikamba, as one of their exhibitions is on display in Durban, South Africa.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 3rd of February, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Hebrews 13:8: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” What a powerful scripture! Do you believe that? I do, and I am going to prove it to you in a minute. If we go to Luke 7, and I want you to read it in your own time, from verse 1 to 10, you will see the Roman officer sent some of his people to Jesus to ask Him to please come and heal his servant who was very sick. Jesus was on His way, but halfway there, the Roman centurion sent a message, “Don't come to my house. I am not worthy. Just say the word.” If we go to Matthew 8:13: “And his servant was healed that same hour.” Jesus was not even there. He said the word because that Roman officer had the faith.Now, something quite amazing happened to us here at Shalom. Last week, a man came to see me. I will call his name, William (that is not his name). He came and shared a testimony with me that encouraged my faith no-end. He said a few years back, His father was very ill. He was in the ICU, and he was basically dying. He had been there for ninety days, 3 months, and they had said to him, they can't keep him there much longer, and they had to take some of the machinery off him that was keeping him alive because other people needed it, and in desperation, he came up to the farm. We prayed for him, that God would heal him. He went back to Durban. He went straight to ICU. He walked straight to his dad's room, he knew exactly where he was, he had been visiting him daily, and the bed was empty. He called the nurses. He said, “Where is my father?”, thinking that he had passed away. They said, “He is sitting in the garden, eating an ice cream.”Oh folks, what a Saviour! He was totally healed. But listen to the miracle. He said to his dad, “When did it happen to you, dad?' He told him the exact time, let's just say, half past ten, and at half past ten, William and all of us were praying for his dad and his dad was healed. Jesus is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow - a modern day miracle, but a replica of what happened with the Roman officer and his sick servant. Totally healed!Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

This weekend saw the Sharks beat the Stormers 36–24 at Kings Park Stadium in Durban. The visiting team and eventual victors started the United Rugby Championship derby fixture strongly, already scoring in the 35th second. Unfortunately for the Sharks, the victory didn't come without some controversy. Social media was flooded with comments after Sharks wing Jaco Williams scored a try that many felt should not have been awarded. With the ball already over the try line, Stormers fullback Warrick Gelant was on his way to pick it up when Williams quickly ran towards the ball, applying pressure while it was over the try line.

It was extra spicy in Durban this weekend. from the chicken livers to the heat and humidity. the SA derbies delivered just as much fire. We unpack whether JP Pietersen should drop the “interim” tag, take a quick pulse check on all four SA sides, isolate the moments that actually shifted pressure on the log, and look ahead to the upcoming global calendar meeting that could reshape the game.

KwaZulu-Natal police say Hawks Head Major-General Lesetja Senona breached security protocols by entering the police headquarters on a weekend and failing to sign the register.

Cleaning without solutions - Why Durban's homelessness crisis keeps repeating. by Radio Islam

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã deste domingo (18): O presidente Donald Trump convidou oficialmente o presidente Lula para integrar o "Conselho da Paz", novo órgão internacional liderado por Washington para supervisionar a reconstrução e a transição política na Faixa de Gaza. Enquanto líderes como Javier Milei e Santiago Peña aceitaram prontamente, o governo brasileiro adotou uma postura cautelosa. O Itamaraty solicitou detalhes sobre a função real do Brasil no comitê, já que o órgão opera fora da estrutura da ONU e sob comando direto de Trump. Interlocutores do Planalto avaliam se a adesão daria o aval de Lula à política externa americana para a região ou se garantiria ao país uma cadeira estratégica na pacificação do Oriente Médio. A Associação Nacional dos Delegados de Polícia Federal (ADPF) divulgou uma nota pública de forte teor crítico às recentes decisões do ministro Dias Toffoli no caso do Banco Master. A entidade classifica como "perplexidade institucional" as ordens de Toffoli que estabeleceram prazos exíguos para oitivas e determinaram que materiais apreendidos fossem enviados lacrados diretamente ao STF, impedindo a perícia imediata da corporação. A economia brasileira registrou alta de 0,7% em novembro de 2024, segundo dados do IBC-Br divulgados pelo Banco Central. Em entrevista ao Jornal da Manhã, o economista Roberto Troster analisa que, embora o número supere as expectativas iniciais, o crescimento ocorre sob a pressão de juros elevados. O Ministério da Saúde iniciou neste fim de semana a vacinação-piloto com o imunizante Butantan-DV, a primeira vacina de dose única contra a dengue no mundo. A campanha começou no sábado (17) em Maranguape (CE) e Nova Lima (MG), e chega a Botucatu (SP) neste domingo (18). O público-alvo compreende pessoas de 15 a 59 anos, com o objetivo de avaliar a eficácia do imunizante 100% nacional na redução de casos graves e hospitalizações. Em um pronunciamento oficial neste sábado (17), o líder supremo do Irã, Ali Khamenei, admitiu pela primeira vez que as recentes manifestações no país deixaram "milhares de mortos". O aiatolá, no entanto, eximiu as forças de segurança de culpa e classificou as vítimas como resultado de uma "conspiração americana". Khamenei chamou o presidente Donald Trump de "criminoso" por incentivar o caos e oferecer apoio militar aos manifestantes, que chamou de "soldados a pé" dos EUA. A admissão ocorre sob forte pressão de Washington, após Trump ameaçar uma intervenção direta caso a matança de civis não fosse interrompida, mantendo o Oriente Médio em alerta máximo. A União Europeia convocou uma reunião extraordinária para discutir as novas diretrizes comerciais anunciadas pelo governo de Donald Trump. O presidente americano sinalizou a imposição de tarifas caso não haja avanços nas negociações estratégicas sobre a Groenlândia. Em Bruxelas, líderes europeus analisam o impacto económico das taxas e buscam uma posição unificada para o diálogo com Washington. O impasse ocorre num momento de redefinição de prioridades no Ártico, com os Estados Unidos a reforçarem o interesse na região por questões de segurança. O Departamento de Justiça dos Estados Unidos oficializou uma acusação grave contra a Test Flying Academy da África do Sul (TFASA) por exportação ilegal de tecnologia militar. Segundo Washington, a academia teria camuflado operações para enviar simuladores de voo de última geração e dados de guerra antissubmarino para o exército chinês. Containers com os equipamentos foram apreendidos em Durban após um alerta da inteligência americana. Essas e outras notícias você acompanha no Jornal da Manhã. Learn more about your ad choices.

Born in 1955, hailing from Durban, South Africa, Shaun Tomson won the IPS world title in 1977. He did 14 seasons on the world tour, and won 12 events, including the 1975 Pipeline Masters, in which he made giant leaps for backside tube riding. He starred in many '70s and '80s surf films, among them Free Ride, where he's seen pumping through the barrel at Backdoor and Off the Wall—an entirely new thing at the time. But Tomson's surfing was only part of the equation. He was business minded, and in the late '70s launched a clothing label, Instinct, and in 1985 a surf shop, Surfbeat, in Santa Monica. He holds a BA in Business Finance. In 1991, Australia's Surfing Life mag named him as the world's all-time best tube rider. Tomson co-produced Bustin' Down the Door, a 2008 documentary film chronicling the rise of pro surfing in the early '70s. He's the author of the best-selling Surfer's Code: 12 Simple Lessons for Riding Through Life. In this episode of Soundings, Tomson sits down with host Jamie Brisick to talk about transformative experiences in the tube, growing up in South Africa, the influence of his father, the highs and lows of his professional career, writing his book, and the passing of his son. Produced by Jonathan Shifflett. Music by PazKa (Aska Matsumiya & Paz Lenchantin).

Kelley's journey into homeopathy is deeply personal, inspired by her own healing experience, and she now brings that same hope and dedication to every client. She is passionate about supporting people from all walks of life, with a particular compassion for those navigating chronic illness and immune dysfunction, believing that homeopathy can be a powerful tool on the path to true restoration. Angela Pierce-Jones began her homeopathy journey straight out of high school at 17 and went on to complete a Master's Degree in Homeopathy in Durban, South Africa, in 2002.

Elaine Macdonald studied homeopathy at the Centre of Homeopathic Education in the UK and moved from Ireland to Perth in 2011.

L'Afrique du Sud voit émerger un type de club de lecture un peu particulier, les «Silent Book Club» (clubs de lecture silencieux, en français). Un concept ayant vu le jour il y a plus de 10 ans à Los Angeles, mais qui s'est bien exporté au sein de la nation arc-en-ciel. Le principe est simple : des passionnés se retrouvent régulièrement dans des lieux publics pour lire ensemble. RFI a rencontré quelques adeptes qui s'étaient réunis à Johannesburg. La météo capricieuse a obligé ces participants à se réfugier dans différents cafés du quartier. Seul le bruit de la machine à espresso et les conversations d'autres clients viennent perturber leur lecture, chacun dans son monde, mais tous autour d'une même table. Ce rassemblement est organisé régulièrement à l'initiative de Nabeela Mangera, qui a lancé le club de Johannesburg, il y a un an. « C'est un concept un peu étonnant, mais qui apporte beaucoup de sérénité. Je pense que de nos jours, on a du mal à se poser. On veut toujours des sources rapides d'informations, et il n'y a pas le temps de lire, ou plutôt on ne prend pas le temps. Quand j'ai entendu parler des clubs de lecture silencieux, j'ai voulu créer un de ces espaces où on peut venir et rencontrer des gens tout aussi passionnés. Mais aussi un espace où on peut s'asseoir et se concentrer sur sa lecture, sans trop de distractions », détaille-t-elle. Difficulté de lire dans un lieu public Ouvrage papier ou tablette numérique, le support importe peu. De même que le type de livre, puisque chacun est libre de choisir ce qui lui plait, sans temps imparti pour tout finir, contrairement aux clubs de lecture traditionnels. Ce qu'apprécie Adila, 34 ans : « Aujourd'hui, je change un peu mes habitudes de lecture. Le plus souvent, j'aime lire des romans policiers ou des romans à énigmes. Mais là je lis du fantastique, avec des dieux grecs et tout ça ! Ici c'est très détendu, on vient juste pour le plaisir. » Chacun reste plongé dans son livre pendant une heure, mais apprécie la compagnie silencieuse des autres lecteurs. Il s'agit de lire seul, mais ensemble, en somme. À la fin, ceux qui le souhaitent peuvent participer à une discussion et partager leur passion. Pour Austin, ce concept est particulièrement bienvenu dans une ville comme Johannesburg. « Ce n'est pas souvent qu'on se retrouve entourés d'autres lecteurs, c'est sympa d'avoir une communauté. De plus, ici, on est souvent inquiet pour sa sécurité, et ce n'est pas si simple de sortir et de commencer à lire dans un lieu public. Donc, on a créé un espace et une communauté pour que les gens puissent le faire. Et puis, c'est dur de trouver un peu de silence dans Johannesburg », plaisante-t-il. L'initiative rencontre aussi du succès dans d'autres métropoles d'Afrique du Sud comme Le Cap et Durban, ou de plus petites villes comme George, avec des lecteurs qui se retrouvent dans des parcs, à la plage, ou encore dans des bars.

Die LUR vir samewerkende regering en tradisionele sake in KwaZulu-Natal, Thulasizwe Buthelezi, sê alles moontlik word gedoen om oorlewendes na die Verulam-tempel se ineenstorting te red. Reddingspanne in Durban het 'n vyfde liggaam uit die puin herwin, ná vier liggame van mans Saterdag gevind is. Verskeie mense is volgens berigte moontlik steeds vasgekeer. Spanne gebruik hand- en elektriese gereedskap om deur dik beton te breek. Owerhede sê herwinningsoperasies sal voortduur ondanks moeilike weersomstandighede, met soek- en reddingspogings wat die primêre fokus bly.

Die eThekwini-munisipaliteit sê geen goedgekeurde bouplanne is ingedien vir die Verulam-tempelgebou wat in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, ineengestort het nie. Twee mense is dood en drie ander is steeds vasgekeer. Reaksie-eenheid Suid-Afrika sê reddingspanne boor versigtig deur puin om oorlewendes op te spoor. Die gebou het na bewering ineengestort terwyl beton deur 'n mengvragmotor gegooi is. Burgemeester Cyril Xaba sê die voldoeningsregulasies sal nou ondersoek word:

Een persoon is dood, en verskeie ander is vasgekeer nadat 'n vierverdiepingtempel wat in aanbou is in Redcliffe, noord van Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, ineengestort het. Die presiese aantal mense wat vasgekeer is, is onbekend. Die woordvoerder van die Departement van Samewerkende Regering en Tradisionele Sake, Senzelwe Mzila, sê rampbestuur en gespesialiseerde reddingspanne is op die terrein, om die beseerdes te help en persone wat onder die puin vasgekeer is, te bevry:

Tyler considers Winnie and Nelson: Portrait of a Marriage one of the best books of the last decade, and its author Jonny Steinberg one of the most underrated writers and thinkers—in North America, at least. Steinberg's particular genius lies in getting uncomfortably close to difficult truths through immersive research—spending 350 hours in police ride-alongs, years studying prison gangs and their century-old oral histories, following a Somali refugee's journey across East Africa—and then rendering what he finds with a novelist's emotional insight. Tyler and Jonny discuss why South African police only feel comfortable responding to domestic violence calls, how to fix policing, the ghettoization of crime, how prison gangs regulate behavior through century-old rituals, how apartheid led to mass incarceration and how it manifested in prisons, why Nelson Mandela never really knew his wife Winnie and the many masks they each wore, what went wrong with the ANC, why the judiciary maintained its independence but not its quality, whether Tyler should buy land in Durban, the art scene in Johannesburg, how COVID gave statism a new lease on life, why the best South African novels may still be ahead, his forthcoming biography of Cecil Rhodes, why English families weren't foolish to move to Rhodesia in the 1920s, where to take an ideal two-week trip around South Africa, and more.
