Early Days in RacingCraig Peters, the iconic voice of South African horse racing, began his illustrious commentary career at just 17 years old. His debut took place in the mid-1970s at Gosforth Park, Germiston, a racetrack that has since faded into history. Young Peters was filled with anxiety, fearing mistakes and misidentifications. To hone his skills, he spent months practicing by himself, recording race commentaries at various tracks like Vaal and Turffontein.Learning the RopesPeters' training involved intense scrutiny from seasoned commentators who provided feedback and praise. This apprenticeship, lasting between three to six months, prepared him for his first real race call. By the time he left Mayfair High and Western High, Peters was deeply immersed in the world of horse racing, often attending races with his father.First Race CallPeters recalls his debut race fondly. "Big Swinger won by eight lengths," he says, describing it as a soft landing into the world of race commentary. This initial success paved the way for a career that would see him become the voice of the Durban July and a fixture in South African horse racing.Preparation and RoutineAhead of his 38th Durban July, Peters emphasizes the importance of preparation. He avoids late nights to ensure sharpness and arrives at Greyville early to get into the rhythm of the day. Peters, sometimes accompanied by his son Sheldon, commentates on all 12 races, whether for SuperSport or the Greyville public address system.The Art of CommentaryKnowing the owners' colors and differentiating horses by their jockeys' helmets are crucial skills. Peters' booth, with its red "do not disturb" light, becomes his sanctuary on race days. He relies on his vast experience and meticulous preparation to deliver flawless commentary. His first Durban July in 1984, won by Devon Air, marked the beginning of his long association with the race, cementing his status as a national treasure.Technological EvolutionThe 1984 Durban July was also the first to be televised, simplifying commentary duties for Peters. Watching the race on a monitor allowed him to seamlessly cover the previously challenging 200-meter section obscured by the Drill Hall. This innovation marked a turning point in his career.Memorable RacesAmong the many races he has called, Peters highlights the 2008 Durban July as particularly thrilling. Dancer's Daughter and Pocket Power's neck-and-neck finish, resulting in a rare dead heat, exemplified the excitement and unpredictability of horse racing. Peters' commitment to accuracy and his refusal to prematurely call winners have earned him the nickname "Eagle Eye."Legacy and ReflectionPeters' passion for horse racing remains undiminished after approximately 25,000 race calls. He continues to adapt, learning isiZulu to keep up with the evolving landscape of South African racing. His dedication and love for the sport make him an irreplaceable part of horse racing history, a cultural historian whose commentary brings races to life and preserves memories for generations to come.Donate to The Luke Alfred Show on Patreon.Get my book: Vuvuzela Dawn: 25 Sporting Stories that Shaped a New Nation.Get full written episodes of the show a day early on Substack.Check out The Luke Alfred Show on YouTube and Facebook.

Campaigning for his party, President Cyril Ramaphosa said only 100,000 people died of Covid-19 in SA compared to other countries. He asked the potential voters to clap hands because his party-led government that provided the R350 SD grant. He was in the North West making efforts to lure voters for next week when South Africans head to the polls. “Remember Covid times?” asked Ramaphosa in isiZulu, “you seem to have forgotten it. We had to shut down everything, it was a tough decision. Two-million people lost jobs.”

Hallie Ayres talks to artist Nolan Oswald Dennis. This episode is part of a series produced in conjunction with the 14th Shanghai Biennale at the Power Station of Art (November 2023–March 2024), curated by Anton Vidokle, Zairong Xiang, Hallie Ayres, Lukas Brasiskis, and Ben Eastham. In his para-disciplinary artistic practice, Nolan Oswald Dennis explores “a Black consciousness of space”—the material and metaphysical conditions of decolonization—questioning spacetime histories through system-specific interventions, sculptures, and drawings. Black Liberation Zodiac: Khunuseti focuses on a group of stars known in isiZulu as isiLimela (in English, the Pleiades) whose appearance over the southern hemisphere horizon in June signals the beginning of the season of planting, rites of adulthood, and other cyclical transitions. As these stars appear in the southern hemisphere they simultaneously disappear in the northern hemisphere. Their path across the equator reveals a condition of common difference which echoes planetary geopolitical relations. This work is part of the “Black Liberation Zodiac” (2017 - ∞ ) series which remaps the night sky across the ecliptic plane as a set of star charts based on the IAU celestial-coordinate system. This series replaces the hegemonic constellation system derived from Eurasian mythological history with imagery drawn from the archive of black liberation iconography. Taking cues from circumpolar and seasonal constellations which are visible exclusively in either the northern or southern hemisphere, Dennis works on the premise that there are always, at a minimum, two night skies. This series explores the poetics of a multi-celestial world through iterative installations referencing planetarium displays, science museums, and southern Afri-indigenous cosmologies.

With the crucial May elections looming, video hosting service TikTok has entered into partnerships with the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) and civil society organisations, to prevent misinformation and provide users with reliable information to ensure a well-informed electorate. TikTok announced an in-app Election Centre, no paid political ads and investment in media literacy as its broader strategy to maintain a creative, secure and respectful environment during the electoral period. TikTok public policy and government relations director Fortune Mgwili-Sibanda said that the in-app Election Centre represented a pivotal step towards safeguarding the integrity of the electoral process. The in-app centre will be available in local languages such as isiZulu, Afrikaans, Sesotho, Setswana and English, and users will gain access to a wealth of authoritative information from reliable sources about the South African elections. "In order to maximise the visibility and accessibility of our in-app centre, we have implemented labels on content associated with the 2024 general elections. These labels also serve as direct links to the centre, enabling viewers to access comprehensive information about the elections with a simple click," he said. He added that TikTok would facilitate access to popular election hashtags, ensuring that users searching for related content could effortlessly find and engage with relevant information. "Protecting the integrity of our platform, particularly around elections, is a responsibility we take seriously. We're proud to be a place that brings people together, and we work hard to keep harmful misinformation off our platform," he highlighted. IEC CEO Sy Mamabolo has welcomed the steps TikTok has taken to create a page for useful authenticated educational information about the upcoming elections. Mamabolo noted that factual information and positive information were key to defending citizens from disinformation, misinformation and malformation. He applauded TikTok for its efforts in educating users and combating the potential spread of harmful misinformation. "The burgeoning use of digital media in recent years has seen a corresponding surge in digital disinformation, particularly on social media platforms. Electoral processes have not been spared. Left unchecked, this phenomenon stands to undermine the conduct of credible elections," he said. Meanwhile, TikTok also has a long-standing policy of not allowing paid political advertising, and accounts belonging to politicians or political parties are not able to advertise or make money on TikTok. To further strengthen its mission, TikTok has joined forces with fact-checking organisation Africa Check on a media literacy campaign in the lead-up to and during the South African elections. Notably, this collaboration introduces a groundbreaking first for the platform - the inclusion of sign language.

Just as his party is able to use its governance of the Western Cape as a ‘prospectus' for voters, uMngeni executive mayor Christopher Pappas (32) can point to his own record since taking office in November 2021. And the fluent isiZulu speaker believes it's a message resonating in a province where there is a growing realisation what you do at the ballot box can make a difference. With support for the ANC collapsing in KZN after the emergence of Jacob Zuma's MK party, Pappas offers thoughts on the issues which will determine how votes are cast on May 29 - and shares his own message of hope for those in the embattled province. He spoke to Alec Hogg of BizNews. Sign up for your early morning brew of the BizNews Insider to keep you up to speed with the content that matters.

Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize & Dr. Daniel Cunnama. A powerful, naturally occurring “space laser”, called a megamaser, has been discovered with South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope in a galaxy nearly five billion light-years away. This is the most distant such megamaser found so far, and was probably forged in the collision of two galaxies. The megamaser has been nicknamed “Nkalakatha,” meaning “big boss” in isiZulu.   A maser is just like a laser but in radio waves instead of visible light. When galaxies (like our own Milky Way) collide, this can create extremely bright masers, called megamasers. The maser light comes from hydroxyl molecules inside extremely dense clouds of interstellar gas.   We are joined by Associate Professor Sarah Blyth from the University of Cape Town who is one of the principal investigators for the LADUMA survey. The Looking at the Distant Universe with the Meerkat Array (LADUMA) team leads one of the big MeerKAT science experiments, which is looking for neutral hydrogen gas in galaxies in one area of the sky, and looking for it very deeply.   We also speak with the lead researcher Dr. Marcin Glowacki, previously a researcher at the Inter-University Institute for Data-Intensive Astronomy (IDIA) and University of the Western Cape, and now based at the Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR).   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Former police minister Nathi Nhleko has insisted that the justification for the irregular spending of public funds on a swimming pool at former president Jacob Zuma's Nkandla homestead as a security feature stands, despite African National Congress (ANC) secretary-general Fikile Mbalula admitting to it being a lie. In a voicenote circulated on Tuesday, Nhleko said his 2014 claim that the R4-million pool was a "fire pool" aimed at securing the home of the then president was backed up by facts. This despite Mbalula telling supporters in Mpumalanga on Sunday that Nhleko had lied to Parliament in defence of Zuma. "If I was lying about this [fire pool], he would have to mention who from the then leadership of the ANC - including the then deputy president, who is currently the president [Cyril Ramaphosa] whom I was reporting to regularly on these issues in the context of the political committee, for example - gave me an instruction to lie on behalf of the ANC," Nhleko said in the circulated voicenote. "If he can't issue the name of that person, then he is in trouble. Where does he get what he is talking about? You will discover there is no such person," he said. In the 2014 report titled Secure in Comfort, former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela found that Zuma had unduly benefitted from state-funded upgrades to his private home. But Nhleko, who was police minister at the time, insisted that the swimming pool, amphitheatre and kraal, among other features, were all constructed for the sake of securing Zuma. Mbalula told ANC die-hards that the party had defended Zuma despite a 2016 damning judgment by the Constitutional Court against him. "We went to Parliament and opened an ad hoc committee and said a swimming pool is a fire pool. The [then] police minister [Nathi Nhleko] was sweating, seeing that this was a lie, because it is difficult to explain lies. People have lost their careers because of that thing," he said. In response, Nhleko said his investigative report on Nkandla was backed up by scientific work, including experts in the fields of engineering, security, culture, and construction. "If he says I was lying, you need to counter me with something that says, 'here is proof that whatever you said was not true'. Up until this point, nobody can do that because nobody has the facts at hand," he said in the five-minute-long recording. Zuma's efforts to campaign against the ANC and in support of the newly-formed MK Party have overshadowed the ruling party's political campaigning. In the leaked recording, Nhleko appears to be responding to a person whom he only refers to as "Mgenge", and others he referred to as "comrades", whom sources identified as the leaders of the ANC in the Musa Dladla region of KwaZulu-Natal. Seemingly referring to how the ANC handles matters, Nhleko said there was no "mature approach" in dealing with issues. In the voicenote, he appears to refer to the current state of affairs in the ANC's political leadership, and talks about a "situation" that cannot be wished away, "no matter how much muti you have, never!". Alternating between English and isiZulu, Nhleko lambasted Mbalula. "I'm convinced now, and I don't like to talk about these things... but all I can say is in the ANC, if we still have a secretary-general like this one, the worst of its kind ever in the 112-year-old liberation movement, we're never going anywhere because you can't speak before you think. It just can't happen that way. In fact, it's a typical behaviour of a beetle moving cow dung around the kraal," he said. Mbalula said he would not comment on the matter.

Ingen jul uden jule-afsnit. I år er der tale om en vaskeægte Zulu-historie. Vi skal tilbage til 1880'erne, hvor spejderbevægelsens grundlægger render rundt nede i Britisk Sydafrika. Vi har nemlig gravet os ned i et dybt kaninhul. For hvad foretog han sig helt præcist dernede, og hvad var det, han havde med hjem dernedefra? Det er der nemlig en masse konspirationsteorier om... Baden-Powell grundlægger spejderbevægelsen i 1908. I 1919 skal han finde på et mærke til svære ledertræning: Gilwell-kurset. Valget falder dengang på en træ-perle fra en afrikansk perlekæde... I dag er de perler en af de vigtigste symboler i spejderverdenen. Men hvor kommer de træ-perler egentlig fra? I afsnittet skræller vi alle lagene af og forsøger at komme helt til bunds i de fantastiske og mystiske historier om de vægtige Gilwell-perler.Rigtig glædelig jul!PS. Vi forudsiger at nogen kommer til at gå op i om det hedder Dinizulu eller Dinuzulu? Ifølge vores research er der ikke enighed om navnet, og derfor siger Steen konsekvent Dinuzulu, mens Kim siger Dinizulu.

Shaka met Henry Francis Fynn and Lieutenant Francis George Farewell in August 1824 and the traders were seeking his permission to live and work at Port Natal. Cape Governor Lord Charles Somerset had rejected Farewell's request he annex the region, so that was the only option left for the traders. In episode 92 I explained how the amazulu reacted to Fynn and Farewell, how their horses in particular were a shock. The dress code was also a surprise, although their skin colour seemed less of a surprise. These Englishmen by now had been burnt brown by months in the African sun, so there was not much made of their skin colour by the oral history tellers, they were more interested in what the Europeans were wearing. And as you heard, Shaka was able to talk to these traders because of the amaXhosa convict Jacot Msimbithi who was translating. The only problem was, he was not very good at his job. Hlambamanzi as he was known to the Zulu, Swim the Seas, mangled English meaning. However Shaka immediately grasped a few important facts from Msimbithi as they conversed in isiZulu – which is similar to isiXhosa. Firstly, he knew that the traders carried guns and these weapons would be useful. The visitors were also part of a much broader trading powerhouse, Shaka understood that too. He had heard of the power of the British and wanted to approach the empire, he was not into going to war against them although from his comments, we know he believed his warriors would defeat British soldiers anyway. And yet, Shaka quickly realized that using the settlers guns, he could overcome some of the chiefdoms that were still refusing to Khonza him. He welcomed the traders, conferring on them the title of abakwethu, or people of our house, kinsmen, trusted and close confidents. Then someone tried to stab Shaka to death with a spear. He survived the assassination attempt. Farewell rushed to Shaka's side upon hearing of the incident, along with the master of his sloop the Julia, a man by the name of WH Davis. Somehow, at this point, Farewell managed to convince the Zulu king to grant him a sale of land, which he wrote as “in full possession and perpetuity” for the sole use of Farewell and his heirs. It was signed by Shaka in a huge scrawl, dated both 7th and 8th of August 1824 – pre-dated in other words and witnessed by Hlambamanzi Msimbithi the translator advisor, Shaka's uncle Mbikwana and two other high ranking members of his counsel. But did the document grant Farewell ownership or guardianship?

And as you heard, Shaka was able to talk to these traders because of the amaXhosa convict Jacot Msimbithi who was translating. The only problem was, he was not very good at his job. Hlambamanzi as he was known to the Zulu, Swim the Seas, mangled English meaning. However Shaka immediately grasped a few important facts from Msimbithi as they conversed in isiZulu – which is similar to isiXhosa. Firstly, he knew that the traders carried guns and these weapons would be useful. The visitors were also part of a much broader trading powerhouse, Shaka understood that too. He had heard of the power of the British and wanted to approach the empire, he was not into going to war against them although from his comments, we know he believed his warriors would defeat British soldiers anyway. And yet, Shaka quickly realized that using the settlers guns, he could overcome some of the chiefdoms that were still refusing to Khonza him. He welcomed the traders, conferring on them the title of abakwethu, or people of our house, kinsmen, trusted and close confidents. Then someone tried to stab Shaka to death with a spear. He survived the assassination attempt. Farewell rushed to Shaka's side upon hearing of the incident, along with the master of his sloop the Julia, a man by the name of WH Davis. Somehow, at this point, Farewell managed to convince the Zulu king to grant him a sale of land, which he wrote as “in full possession and perpetuity” for the sole use of Farewell and his heirs. It was signed by Shaka in a huge scrawl, dated both 7th and 8th of August 1824 – pre-dated in other words and witnessed by Hlambamanzi Msimbithi the translator advisor, Shaka's uncle Mbikwana and two other high ranking members of his counsel. But did the document grant Farewell ownership or guardianship?

The term Zama Zama is a slang word in isiZulu, one of South Africa's official languages and loosely translates to ‘someone who is trying' or a ‘hustler'. They are young miners, largely illegal, who take advantage of the lucrative mining industry in South Africa. They are back in the news after a gang rape of eight women near Johannesburg. The women had been shooting a music video at an abandoned mine, when they were attacked by a group of men, both locals and police say are the Zama Zamas. So who are these people who are striking fear in many communities in South Africa? Africa Daily's Mpho Lakaje has been speaking to Frans Baleni, a former Secretary General of the National Union of Mineworkers with extensive knowledge on the Zama Zamas. He also heard a personal account from a victim and local councillor, Kenny Moeng on how communities are coping.

The final instalment of Sky Tshabalala's 'Khuluma Nathi' teaches you the perfect response to introductions. As it seems to be wedding season with bridal pictures flooding the different social media platforms, when your daughter or son introduces their partner this weekend at dinner YOU should know exactly how to respond with this one. Get your isiZulu on check by listening to more of Sky Tshabalala's 'Khuluma Nathi' podcasts

After uThisha Sky Tshabalala taught the class how to pronounce isiZulu place names, the students wanted more. Apparently, people have been struggling with some isiZulu surnames as well. Seeing as someone's name is quite an important part of their identity and self, we wouldn't want to insult anyone by getting it wrong. And asking the person might make things a bit awkward, so Sky is here to help!

Sky Tshabalala is taking matters into his own hands because he is fed up with people mispronouncing the place names in KZN. If you live here you should be able to pronounce them the proper way so instead of leaving you to figure it out yourself, uThisha Sky is here to help! Learn the correct pronunciation of places like Unhlaanga, Umhloti and more.

It's time fo another informative and educational lesson brought to you by the best isiZulu teacher there is, Sky Tshabalala. Have you ever answered your phone and did not recognise the voice on the other end of the line? Was there a language barrier that prevented you from telling this person that they, unfortunately, had dialed the wrong number? Well, now, thanks to Sky, you can learn how to say: "Sorry, I think you have the wrong number." Take a listen and join in as Darren and Keri use their newly learnt phrase and call each other on-air.

Since we're celebrating 'More Music March', uThisha Sky Tshabalala thought it was time to learn some of the most iconic isiZulu lyrics. And you don't get more iconic than SA's unofficial anthem - Nkalakatha! "People have been singing this intro wrong for too long. I am here to teach the people the proper words!" And the results are HILARIOUS!

When the boss is away, uThisha Sky Tshabalala is taking the reigns and running the show! Today he is back with another isiZulu proverb for Darren and Keri. But were they successful in their attempts? And how did the rest of KZN do? Take a listen to find out!

Another day and we have another great isiZulu class coming your way! Grocery shopping is something everyone has to do and having this phrase up your sleeve can only be helpful. uThisha Sky Tshabalala is always here to help and this sentence will definitely be one that will come in handy.

While lockdown is still very much part of our reality, you can still (safely) go out and enjoy a lovely meal at a local restaurant! Need some help making a reservation? uThisha Sky Tshabalala has got you with his latest isiZulu lesson.

Seeing as lockdown restrictions are relaxing just the tiniest bit, we can now go to a few more public places than before. uThisha Sky Tshabalala is here to teach you a very important phrase that you will probably be using quite a lot!

With the nippy and rainy weather in Durban every second day, umbrellas are a must. Remind your friends and colleagues to have their umbrellas with them with the help of uThisha Sky Tshabalala.

In Khuluma Nathi this Tuesday, uThisha Sky Tshabalala tells his class that sometimes, the good thing about language is that some words are related - even they why they sound. This is why you will find this isiZulu phrase/question fairly easy to pronounce.

It's month-end so khuluma nathi: how much do you need?

Mornings are for coffee and Keri has a habit of making coffee for the show producer. So after months of making him coffee, the producer has changed the way he takes his coffee. This prompted uThisha Sky Tshabalala to teach the team and listeners how to ask the question "How do you drink/like your coffee?" in isiZulu. He also asked the listeners to give it a try.

It is the very first Khuluma Nathi lesson from our favourite isiZulu teacher, Sky Tshabalala, and he decided to start us off with a double dose. Sometimes we get the spelling of people's names wrong when we meet, so this sentence will definitely come in handy when we save phone numbers.

Following President Ramaphosa's recent COVID-19 address that the country is officially in the second wave of the pandemic, uThisha Sky Tshabalala wanted to use a phrase that many of us will be using this festive season. There will be no fun in the sun ( well, a least on the beach) and this sentence is so easy in isiZulu - just three words - and you can start with whichever word, the sentence will still make sense.

We are experiencing very hot days, as is the case every festive season, so you have to make sure you stay hydrated. This Khuluma Nathi sentence is very easy and will come in handy

This time of the year, many South Africans flock to the beach. And when the sun is hot, with your sunscreen on, sun hat on your head and swimwear, only one thing is missing... some ice cream. Learn how to express your love for ice-cream in isiZulu. This one is simple, even Darren got it on his first try.

UThisha Sky Tshabalala has been giving you small doses of his isiZulu lessons all year and with the summer season already in full swing, summer phrases are what he has been focusing on. It always advisable to keep yourself hydrated on very hot days, so here's how you ask for a very cold drink in isiZulu.

If there is one thing about the festive season, South Africans party so much and for long periods of time (even throughout December) that they 'forget' to tell their loved ones where they are. So the question "where are you?" is going to feature a lot in many conversations and fights between lovers this festive season.

It's officially summer and uThisha Sky Tshabalala's students are excited - not only for his holiday-themed lessons but also for the actual holiday. With many things to do this summer (mostly outdoors) it is important to stay protected - so don't forget your hat.

A question uThisha Sky Tshabalala gets asked a lot is this one and in today's lesson, he teaches his students how to ask this in isiZulu. It is actually only three words and very simple. Our listeners have trie it and sent their voice notes, listen to them and try it too.

In Today's Khuluma Nathi, uThisha Sky Tshabalala chose a question that will have you answering "11:11" all day. And he is a proud teacher because his students, Darren Maule and Keri Miller are passing with flying colours. The listeners also did very well. How good are you? Give it a try.

You know sometimes when you want to say something in a particular language, but you don't even know how to ask in that language? Well, uThisha Sky Tshabalala has an easy phrase that you will surely get right with practice.

Uthisha Sky Tshabalala brings you bitesize Khuluma Nathi phrase that you can use in everyday life, and with restaurants fully open for about two months now, this phrase will come in handy.
