The Workers and Socialist Party, (WASP) has condemned the killing of Abahlali baseMjondolo leader Zweli "Khabazela" Mkhize, who was shot on Thursday evening in eNkanini, Ellandale, Gauteng. Police say two hitmen arrived in a Renault and gunned him down at a friend's home. WASP says Mkhize's death is part of a pattern of violence against Abahlali baseMjondolo leaders and holds the state responsible for creating conditions that enable such attacks. The party has called for a police investigation and urged working-class communities to organise for self-defence and political representation. Elvis Presslin spoke to WASP NEC Member, Mametlwe Sebei

The Constitutional Court has confirmed that Section 26(1)(a) to (c) of the Births and Deaths Registration Act is unconstitutional insofar as it unfairly discriminates on the basis of gender, by failing to afford men the right to assume the surname of women after marriage. This after the applicants, Jana Jordaan and Henry Van Der Merwe as well as Jess Donnelly-Bornman and Andreas Nicolas Bornman turned to the apex court in March this year for a confirmation of invalidity against the said section.

Sho, Genge!Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U!I am joined by my friend and fellow podcaster, Zama Mkhize!Today's episode is one that is very near and dear to our hearts. It explores the experience of girlhood in an African household.Join us, as we get candid about our experiences in our individual childhood journeys. It is a needed conversation amongst us as women, as our future and who we are (as people) are all determined by the values and rules instilled in us, by our parents and households that we grew up in.Zama and I unpack the different rules and methods of parenting that we experienced and what we've appreciated about those teachings and the thing we would change. In this, we also find common ground in the conversations around how we would've preferred some methods of parenting to be done and reflecting on certain key moments with a lot of laughter and gems to keep from our experiences!

ENTREPRENEURS Topic: The mushroom maker: Warren Mkhize's journey from job seeker to sustainable agripreneur
With 24% of young university graduates unemployed in South Africa, Warren Mkhize found himself struggling to secure work in 2020. Then, during a thunderstorm, he spotted mushrooms growing from the ground, which spark an idea. Researching South Africa's mushroom industry, he discovered its high success rate and lack of barriers to entry. Seizing the opportunity, he founded MycoPro, cultivating organic oyster mushrooms in upcycled agricultural waste. From an initial 10kg yield, his team now supplies 300–400kg monthly to the SuperSpar Group and Asian markets. Mkhize is also promoting mushrooms as a nutritious meat alternative, educating people via social media. He aims to expand MycoPro into other provinces and is researching African psychedelic mushrooms for therapeutic use. “If regulations evolve like they did for cannabis,” he says, “we will explore it fully.”

The Portfolio Committee on Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs has raised concerns after learning that, of five provinces that requested disaster funding from the National Treasury, only the Western Cape received assistance.

It is not possible to speak Wellness, Well-being and Black women and not talk about African spirituality. Today, my guest and sangoma Nokulinda Mkhize Horwood discusses her profession, her own practice, her observations of changing attitudes towards sangomas over the past 13 year's since her initiation and some of the challenges she still faces in her work. Nokulinda is known as @noksangoma on social media and she's also well-known for her often sold-out talks, Gogo Speaks. Judging by the popularity of these talks, not only is she providing a much needed service, but she is part of the zeitgeist of the de-colonial movement of young South Africans. Her presence and visibility are both liberating and deeply necessary for her peers. Our discussion covers everything, from the role of family in spiritual well-being, alienation and anxiety in the city, capitalism-induced spiritual crises in South African urbanites, Covid-19, Nokulinda's own well-being and how it's changed her approach to life in general and her practice as a sangoma. It might all sound serious, but it's a fun conversation and we do get super silly at the end of the conversation. You will love it! You can find Nokulinda's book, Ancestory here.GLOSSARY OF TERMSIndumba - A sangoma's healing room, traditionally a hut. It is nonetheless a sacred space. Amatwasa - Initiates training to become sangomas Ukufemba - a healing process designed to trap and remove negative energies and/or evil spirits uMgidi - celebratory ceremonyAmasiko - cultural ustomsUbuntu - I am because we are Ubungoma - a spiritual calling

On Sunday Times Politics Weekly, Zweli Mkhize chats about what he will do if he is elected ANC president at the party's elective conference this weekend, Digital Vibes corruption allegations and the growing support he has received since being nominated. The former health minister received 916 nominations for the position, while his rival, President Cyril Ramaphosa, received 2,037. However, Mkhize says after engagements with ANC branches, all indications are that he has “huge support”. He also touches on where the ANC's focus should be, state capture, nationalisation of the Reserve Bank, the formation of a state bank and the energy crisis.

Public enterprises deputy minister Phumulo Masualle, chatting to Sunday Times Politics Weekly, says some candidates for the ANC top six don't deserve support. He motivates why President Cyril Ramaphosa's time in office has expired and rallies behind former health minister Zweli Mkhize. Ramaphosa and Mkhize are the only candidates running for presidency next month when the party elects new leadership. Masualle has received most support for his bid to be the next ANC secretary-general from KwaZulu-Natal, while most of his home province, the Eastern Cape, supports former KZN secretary Mdumiseni Ntuli. He prides himself on his “absolute” integrity and says he does not have sleepless nights over “shady dealings” during his tenure as Eastern Cape premier. Masualle alleges people tried to tarnish his name by depositing funds meant for former president Nelson Mandela's funeral into his personal bank account. Reports suggest the amount deposited was R250,000. He reflects on his leadership legacy in the Eastern Cape. Podcast hosted by Mawande AmaShabalala, production by Bulelani Nonyukela.

At the ANC elective conference in December, President Cyril Ramaphosa and Zweli Mkhize will square off for the top position of party leader. Ramaphosa is well ahead after receiving 2,037 nominations from branches, while Mkhize only received 916. The ANC made public the top six candidates for the role of deputy president, including Paul Mashatile, Ronald Lamola, and Oscar Mabuyane. However, according to Kgalema Motlanthe, ANC's head of the electoral committee, the process is still open for objections and appeals, which might lead to a different outcome. He said this is the culmination of nominations received from branches, but delegates at the conference can also nominate from the floor. Radio Islam International discussed with political analyst Dr Fikile Vilikazi, who has accused the governing party of compromising the gender parity rule stipulated in the ANC constitution.

This is episode 88 it's the period of 1821/1822 heading into a decade of disaster, drought, despondence and disorder. As we heard last episode, the 1820 Settlers were suffering the effect of a crops losses and pestilence. These years would also be characterised by an expanding Zulu empire, and trekboers leaving the Cape once the English emancipation laws took effect, and a general mass movement of people across the sub-continent. There are many theories about all of this. I'm going to stick to the facts as we know them rather than speculate on any main reason for what became known as the Difakane or Mfecane. There's a propensity for historians to finger point about this decade, so I'll explain each supposition as we go. But enough about esoterics, let's get on with this episode. Something had arrived in the Cape as part of the 1820 Settlers fleet that had put the fear of God into Lord Charles Somerset, and he'd immediately banned the object in question. This of course was a printing press. Nothing strikes fear in a bureaucrat more than the public's power to spread their own messages. Ask Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin if they are more afraid of Twitter than an F16 fighter jet and the answer will be She Dah and Dah respectively. Yes in other words. Just as an aside, isn't it interesting that Dah is part of the word yes in both Russian and Mandarin? Makes it easier to agree with each other when they vote on the Security council I suppose. By 1821 Shaka had subjugated the major group the Qwabe and the Mkhize, and had just sent the Ndwandwe packing – Zwide had fled to the area of modern day Mpumalanga, at the headwaters of the Komati River. Back in Zululand, or more specifically, the area around the Umhlatuze to the black Mfolozi, and down to the Thugela, Shaka was now the major force in the region. It's time to focus more specifically on what was going on socially behind this new power. Shaka had followed the ritual of a new king, and what an amazing process it was. We need to dig deep into this process to fully understood in its complexity to appreciate the fact that it is carried out to this day. And we hear about the crucial inkatha yezwe yakwa Zulu – a venerated object, a circular grass coil and the most important ritualised object in Zulu tradition.

This is episode 81 and we're following the story of the AmaZulu, the Qwabe, the Mkhize, the Ndwandwe and the Mthethwa circa 1819. By this time, the Mkhize and the Qwabe along with many other smaller groups and clans had been pushed southwards by the aggression of the Ndwandwe, and troubles in the Swaziland area. Zihlando was already the Mkhize chieftan when Shaka took control of the Zulu and their relationship would continue until Shaka was assassinated in 1828 – and Shaka referred to Zihlando as his younger brother his mnawe wami. Zihlando khonza'd Shaka, then was directed to fight Mtsholoza of the Nxamalala people, a small clan of folks who'd splintered and headed south. But the big fish awaited, Zwide's Ndwandwe and Shaka knew that to take on such a powerful foe, he'd needed to build his forces carefully. I've mentioned that Dingiswayo's death led to the severe instability across northern Zululand and its now time to get down amongst the weeds, to probe this era more comprehensively. Each month and each moment from now on has a bearing on the two centuries afterwards, as bizarre as this sounds. We live with the ramifications to this day in southern Africa and I'm going to explain why.

Last episode we heard how the Xhosa wardoctor had failed in his attempt at chasing the colonials out of his territory – the Albany region, and now return to significant events in the north east – Zululand. By 1819 Shaka and Dingiswayo were holding sway in an area from the Thukela to the Black Mfolozi in Zululand, but Zwide of the Ndwandwe still controlled the land between the Mfolozi and the Phongola Rivers. The landscape had changed radically over the past three hundred years as farmers cut and burned their way across the rolling hills and mountains. Vast tracts of forest and thornveld had been converted to grassland, altering the land to what it looks like today, although there was more bush around, particularly along the river valleys. But the point is human activity on the landscape had already mutated the veld, and yet there were still elephants around and other wild animals. The region from Phongola to the Thukela was criss-crossed and patched with human influences, scarred and thinned out from the axe-blade, the hoof, and the farm yard. This was a century before colonials arrived to farm the area. But the people of this land lived with and through nature in a manner that changed with the coming of commercial farming and the heavy use of firearms. Everything depended on the leaders' capacity to feed and feed off cattle, wildlife and crops. The vegetation and terrain were paramount to everyone's lives, the ideology and military system and marriage rituals were all shackled to the most important thing – the ability to generate enough food. We also hear about Sambela of the Mkhize who is described as an albino, and was quite small but made up for what were seen as deficiencies by his compatriots by being particularly wild and was feared as a fighter. There seems to have been something unhinged about Sambela, when he had his first teenage emission which indicates a boy has turned into a man, we would call this a wet dream I guess, he headed off with a gang of Mkhize youths and killed and ate 20 goats. Stories abound of this man breaking things, throwing around the pottery, and was called Uhlanya – ungovernable.

On Legal Matters, we talk to Chief Ombud, Adv Boyce Mkhize from the Community Scheme Ombud Services and this follows a discussion we had on “Your rights in a complex and how to interact with your body corporate", with Caleb Mckellar, Attorney, and partner at Bater Mckellar Attorneys. So, Adv. Mkhize will be elaborating on the Community Scheme Ombud Services mandate and services and how they've been dealing with a lot of complaints from people living in community schemes that their electricity was cut yet they have been paying levies and rates.
