Adam Gilchrist brings us the latest global headlines, starting in the Middle East where the USS Abraham Lincoln has been positioned in the Arabian Sea, roughly 700 kilometres from Iran, as Washington increases pressure on Tehran over its nuclear ambitions and internal crackdown on protesters, ahead of scheduled talks between US and Iranian officials in Switzerland.

And in Australia, police in Sydney are appealing for information after 85-year-old Chris Baghsarian was allegedly abducted from his home in what authorities believe may have been a case of mistaken identity, with investigators urging the public to assist in efforts to secure his safe return. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to political analyst Sune Payne about the shifting political landscape in South Africa, as a younger and more diverse generation begins to challenge established power structures. With growing frustration over corruption, inequality and failing service delivery, student movements, civic activism and new political formations are reshaping the national conversation around accountability and ethical leadership. They reflect on recent analysis by Daily Maverick that suggests this generational shift could redefine what leadership looks like in South Africa, and debate whether these emerging voices can meaningfully reconnect politics with ordinary citizens, particularly young people and members of the diaspora watching developments from abroad. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Khabazela takes a look at the stories trending online this morning, starting with a relatable family moment: what did you used to do when you were watching a movie with your parents and an unexpected sex scene came on — did someone scramble for the remote, did everyone suddenly become very interested in their phones, and how did your parents react? He also turns to a lighter, heartwarming topic about a dog’s love, asking how your furry friend shows you affection, from tail wags to over-the-top greetings, and what it’s like coming home to them after you’ve been out at a restaurant. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

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.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to deputy Minister of defence and Military Veterans, Bantu Holomisa about President Cyril Ramaphosa’s assertion during the State of the Nation Address that organised crime is the most immediate threat to South Africa’s democracy, society and economic development. They unpack the decision to deploy the SANDF to combat gang violence in the Western Cape and illegal mining in Gauteng, questioning whether military intervention is an effective crime-fighting tool or a dangerous blurring of lines between policing and defence, and reflecting on the legacy of Collins Khosa and the risks of potential human rights abuses. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Mamoloko Kubayi, minister of Justice and constitutional development aboyt government’s move to introduce financial assistance and stronger safeguards for whistleblowers who expose corruption inside the state and major institutions, after years of intimidation, job losses and violence with limited protection. They also examine Minister Mamoloko Kubayi’s call for lifestyle audits within the National Prosecuting Authority under new NPA head Andy Mothibi, unpacking whether these measures can meaningfully protect those who speak out, strengthen prosecutions, and restore credibility to the justice system or whether implementation gaps could once again undermine reform. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

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.

48 heures enfermé dans un tiroir réfrigéré de la morgue de Johannesburg. Déclaré mort après un accident de voiture en 1993, Sipho William Mdletshe, 24 ans, s'est réveillé dans le noir total, piégé dans un caisson métallique glacé. Ce podcast horreur basé sur des faits réels retrace l'une des histoires vraies les plus terrifiantes d'Afrique du Sud — quand la frontière entre la vie et la mort n'est qu'une erreur de diagnostic.Ses cris ont fini par alerter les employés de la morgue. Mais le cauchemar ne s'arrête pas là. Quand Sipho frappe à la porte de sa fiancée pour la retrouver, elle refuse de le laisser entrer — convaincue qu'il est devenu un zombie. Cette histoire d'horreur psychologique interroge nos peurs les plus archaïques : et si les morts ne l'étaient pas vraiment ? Et si la morgue n'était pas le dernier arrêt, mais le début d'un autre enfer ?Dans ce récit terrifiant, Chandleyr plonge dans les dossiers interdits des erreurs médicales fatales. Des cas d'enterrés vivants aux protocoles de déclaration de décès en Afrique du Sud, cette enquête criminelle explore le true crime sous un angle rarement abordé — celui des vivants qu'on a rangés parmi les morts.

A Melville woman, pushed to her limits during the Johannesburg water crisis, expressed her frustration by taking a ‘shower' in the street. Video footage circulating on social media shows the woman standing in the middle of the street washing her hair. Another protester pours water over her head, helping her with the 'street shower'.

The ANC in Gauteng has expressed its desire to maintain cooperation with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in all municipalities across the province. This comes after EFF leader Julius Malema announced earlier this month that his party would terminate its cooperation agreements with the ANC in Gauteng. Malema accused ANC Ekurhuleni chairperson Dr. Nkosidipile Xakaza of attempting to exclude the EFF from its governance responsibilities in the metro. Speaking on the sidelines of the ANC's two‑day Gauteng Lekgotla in Johannesburg, provincial coordinator Hope Papo reaffirmed the ANC's intention to continue working with the EFF. For reaction Elvis Presslin spoke to EFF Gauteng Media and Communications Officer, Dumisani Baleni

In today's episode from the Vault, we revisit Nadine Gordimer's James Lecture on the political landscape of South Africa, presented at the New York Institute for the Humanities on October 14, 1982. In 1982, resistance to South Africa's apartheid was growing increasingly militant, and the state's brutal repression heightened this tension. In her lecture, Gordimer speaks directly to this political landscape, describing the period as an “interregnum." She discusses the crisis of white identity in South Africa, the relationship between art and politics, the urgency for an alternative political left working toward what she calls a democracy without economic and military terror. This lecture was the basis of Gordimer's essay “Living in the Interregnum,” published in the New York Review of Books in January of 1983. Nadine Gordimer was a South African writer and political activist. She authored fifteen novels, including The Conversationalist, Burger's Daughter and July's People, over two hundred short stories, and several volumes of essays. She was awarded the Booker prize for the Conversationalist in 1974 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1991. She died in 2014 at the age of 90 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

What has changed since last year's State of the Nation (SONA) promises? At last year's SONA, water infrastructure was particularly framed as a national priority yet in parts of Johannesburg, the heart of South Africa's economy, and in municipalities across the country, taps still run dry. Treatment plants fail. Maintenance collapses. Phumi Mashigo, along with Dr Ferrial Adam from WaterCAN, a civic organisation focused on water accountability, look at how this all came to be and whether we can have hope that the dire situation will actually improve.
