Bongani Bingwa speaks to Professor Rajen Naidoo, head of Occupational and Environmental Health at UKZN, about a shocking new report from Greenpeace Africa and CREA revealing that air pollution killed 42,000 South Africans in 2023 including over 1,300 children. The economic cost? R960 billion, over 14% of the country’s GDP. Most of the pollution comes from coal-fired power stations in Mpumalanga and Gauteng, yet the government continues to let major polluters off the hook.

Die minister van Wetenskap, Tegnologie en Innovering, Blade Nzimande, sê Suid-Afrika se binnelandse en kusgemeenskappe moet meer bewus raak van die land se oseaan-erfenis. Hy het die hoofrede gelewer op ʼn slypskool met die titel, Verbind binnelandse gemeenskappe met die oseaan, in Mbombela, Mpumalanga. Dis deel van Suid-Afrika se groter #Ocean20-pogings onder sy G20-presidentskap om volhoubare gebruik van oseaanhulpbronne te verseker. Nzimande het aan die SABC gesê groter opvoedingspogings is nodig om oseaangesondheid met nasionale volhoubaarheids-doelwitte te verbind:

Eva Mazza sits down with Lindsay Norman to discuss her latest novel, Khaki Fever. This lively conversation delves into the inspiration behind the book, Norman's writing process, and the unique South African setting that brings the story to life. Khaki Fever is ‘Chick-lit in khaki' that offers pure escapism with the perfect combination of romance and drama spiced with laugh-out-loud moments. Game guide Alexandra Carnell-Ellis is principled, doesn't suffer fools, and is generally not too fond of ordinary people either. When she's fired from The Plains, a commercial ‘Ferrari Safari'-type game reserve in the Karoo for being rude to guests, she's determined to make a fresh start. She lands a dream job at an exclusive game reserve in Mpumalanga, but Alex's new beginning appears to be doomed from the start as she arrives at the lodge with attitude, a few facts about her that aren't strictly true, and a stolen dog in tow. For one, she had pretended to be a man in her application, because she is convinced that khaki fever gives male guides an advantage. Alex struggles to control her unruly tongue and almost immediately makes enemies with the camp manager and the owner's terrifyingly scary girlfriend, who can't wait to expose Alex's deepest darkest secrets. She finds love in the form of the level-headed and attractive head guide, but it's not long before everything goes wrong. After impulsively abandoning her vehicle and guests to rescue an abandoned baby baboon, a storm breaks over her head and she flees the reserve. Will she ever be able to find her way back? Tune in to hear Lindsay Norman share behind-the-scenes insights and what makes Khaki Fever a must-read for 2025! #KhakiFever #LindsayNorman #SouthAfricanFiction #PagecastPodcast #BookChat #WomenWriters #AdventureReads #BookRecommendation #MustRead2025 #PodcastInterview #BookPodcast

For the very first time this podcast has a special mix from a very deep young dj/producer that has caught my attention once again,he goes by the name Stereomusiq aka Ofuren. Here's a short Q&A I had with him to accompany the mix. **Nqalastyle**: My man thanks for droppin' this very deep mix for my podcast,for those who don't know you who is Ofuren aka Stereomusiq in short? **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: Its a pleasure & thank you for having me. Well, Stereomuziq Ngwenya aka Ofuren is a young Deep House producer & poet from Mpumalanga, I also foundered a new underground label that I'll be launching soon with my partner Sibusiso Ncongwane. **Nqalastyle**: That's interesting,any hints on who will be the first artist to release on the label,and what kinda sound should we expect? **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: Our first release will comprise with productions from myself, Fred Buddah & Soul Arab. You can expect a rich & dark mixture of pure 'African Deep House'. The sort of sound the label will be all about. **Nqalastyle**: That's nice,I notice you got guys we haven't really heard of,I'm looking forward to that. Why deep house when thers many other genres out there? **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: Oh yeah, ROOTS GO DEEP MUSIC is all about new & underground talent..keepin it deep in every turn and to answer your question about "why deep house", its simple, to me deep house is spirituality, an the sonic expression of the human soul through beats, breaks & bass, that's why I was so drawn to it. I wouldn't even classify it as music because when I listen to it, it doesn't feel like music..feels like a journey..a journey through yourself..almost like meditation **Nqalastyle**: Yea I feel you man,what's your vision for your new label,who would u wanna work with, who influences you in terms of your production? **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: The vision I've had since day one is to expose the deep underground scene of South Africa, which is very underrated. That's why I'm always searching for South African deep house producers that have real talent and have a real appreciation for this art and it feels as though its my job to convey their passion to the world. I wouldn't say I have influences, rather I have inspirations, people who have inspired me to seek & music, two people infact, Radio Slave & Lars Behrenroth..although I've never met them, they've both imparted wisdom to me. Radio Slave really inspired me to be different in my music, I do not sound like him nor do I want to but his sound really inspires to create my own individual, cause that's what art is, its individuality. Lars on the other hand really inspired me to seek the music, to find the diamond on the dust that evrybody else has missed. **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: To seek and make music* **Nqalastyle**: Interesting stuff,I can feel your passion for this sound..now back to the mix, it is definetly not for persons under the age of real deep underground house..what inspired this mix? **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: Lol your show inspired this mix, I'm really a fan of the other mixes before mine and they really set the tone for this one although I do like to mix it up abit **Nqalastyle**: Thanks man..do you have any favorite djs/producers local and international,or any artists that we should look out for in 2012? **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: My favourite local producers are D'nel, Drumshift Phenyo, Luka, Soul Arab, Fred Buddah, Ted Jood. My favourite international producers are Lars Behrenroth, Pulshar, P.Laoss, Radio Slave and you can look forward to my new EP that will be dropping in May under FOMP UK **Nqalastyle**: Ok thanks again man,how do people contact you for remixing,bookings or any other related stuff? **Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©**: They can contact me on facebook at www.facebook.com/ofuren or they can email me at ofuren@gmail.com and if they got a demo they can send it to info.rootsgodeep.gmail.com or upload it in our drop box at www.soundcloud.com/rootsgodeep Nqalastyle: Thanks for making time and for the mix Siyabonga | Roots Go Deep Music 2012©: It is my utmost pleasure brother

This comes after it the NSPCA culled over 200-thousand chickens at poultry farm operated by Daybreak Foods near Delmas, Mpumalanga.

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die begrotingsdooiepunt wat nou opgelos is, is nie 'n rede vir die verwydering van minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana nie. Daar was verskeie oproepe dat die minister afgedank moet word oor die dooiepunt wat hom nou noop om die begroting vir die derde keer op 21 Mei ter tafel te lê. Dit is 'n ongekende stap sedert 1994. Ramaphosa het gister by Cosatu se Werkersdag-herdenking in Mpumalanga gesê die silwer randjie van die dooiepunt is 'n meer deursigtige begrotingsproses:

President Cyril Ramaphosa says that he will announce the names of the people who will lead the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the delays encountered in investigating and prosecuting TRC cases. This follows his announcement yesterday, that a commission of inquiry will be established.

All manner of things are going on — thanks to those folks out there who've been sending me notes and support, much appreciated. Episode 220 deals with the start of the Transvaal Civil War, and quite a bit about Paul Kruger's early life. The American civil war was raging in 1862, and there's nothing like a war to trigger innovation — if you excuse the pun. Richard Jordan Gatling patented his terrifying Gatling gun featuring multiple rotating barrels driven by a hand crank, allowing operators to unleash a relentless hailstorm of bullets—up to several hundred rounds per minute. Its distinctive mechanical whirr echoed across battlefields, marking a chilling shift toward modern, industrialized warfare. While undoubtedly efficient, the Gatling gun also embodied a grim reality: the age when technology would reshape combat forever had arrived. Just in time to cause more chaos in the already bloody American Civil War. What is less known these days is that there was another Civil War involving descendants of Europeans, and this was going on in South Africa. The AmaZulu had just wrapped up their own recent Civil War as you've heard. All manner of brutal and uncivil conduct marked this period in South African history, as neighbour turned against neighbour and the bonds of society frayed. The Boer Republics had been riven by conflict since the days of the Voortrekkers, but in 1862 perhaps inspired in part by the American civil War, the Boer Republics went from squabbling to skirmishing. There's no proof that the carnage of the United States directly influenced South Africa, but there is proof that the Boers knew about it. Later, during the apartheid period of National Party Rule, this Transvaal Civil War was deposited in historical file 13, almost expunged, because it contradicted the prevailing political ideology where it was all the whites against all the blacks. Anything that detracted from this nationalist agenda was taboo. The modern architects of African nationalism, too, often reshape the past to suit their narratives, discarding inconvenient histories into their own version of "file 13."Compared to the carnage in America, where an estimated 750 000 people died, the South African version was far less bloody. A few dozen dead and wounded. A handful of skirmishes was the real effect, which took place in what is now Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and the North West Province - but at the same time as the American Civil War which ran from 1861 to 1865. The Transvaal Civil War started in 1862 and ended in 1864. While less gory, it was emblematic of the frontier streak embedded in the first generation descendants of the Voortrekkers. According to the constitution of the Republic, the Hervormde Church was the state church. Its members alone were entitled to exercise any influence in public affairs. Whoever was not a member of the Hervormde Church was not a fully-qualified burgher. Paul Kruger belonged to the Christelljk-Gereformeerde Kerk founded recently, in 1859, by Dr. Postma, at Rustenburg. This church became known in South Africa as the Dopper, or partly Canting Church. The derivation of the word Dopper is not completely clear, but it was believed to have come from the word dop, a damper or extinguisher for putting out Candles.

TODAY South Africa commemorates Freedom Day, under the theme, "United in Resilience for The Defence of Our Freedom and Democracy." President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to address the main celebration at the AJ Swanepoel Stadium in Ermelo, Mpumalanga. This year's celebration coincides with the 70th anniversary of the adoption of the Freedom Charter, a foundation on which our Constitution was drafted. 2025 also marks 29 years anniversary of the enactment of the Constitution as the supreme law of the Republic. The 27th of April 1994 was a watershed moment for many South Africans that carried promises of a better life. Despite efforts to implement policies and programmes that advance equality and human dignity in areas like economic empowerment, education, health care, social support and the provision of basic services, many challenges still persist. Unemployment, crime, corruption, and deteriorating service delivery top the list and South Africa also remains a highly unequal society. In our Sunday Morning Discussion want to explore whether this freedom we are celebrating TODAY, freedom that we all cherish, is shaping a shared future for all South Africans. To discuss this Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Prof. Somadoda Fikeni, Chairperson of the Public Service Commission and board member of The Indlulamithi Scenarios which examine different visions of how South Africa's 2030 future might unfold. Also joining us is Neeshan Balton, Executive Director at the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation.....

Die organisasie Suid-Afrikaanse Suikerrietkwekers waarsku enige verhoging in Amerikaanse tariewe op suikerinvoere kan kwekers en landelike gemeenskappe ernstig benadeel. Die organisasie vra die regering om voort te gaan met sy onderhandelings met Amerika om verdere uitvoerbelasting te voorkom.

Die polisie in KwaZulu-Natal het 'n 41-jarige Mosambiekse burger in hegtenis geneem wat gekoppel word aan verskeie voorvalle van voertuigdiefstalle en kapings in Emanguzi. Die verdagte is voorheen in Gauteng en Mpumalanga skuldig bevind en is Maandag met 'n gesteelde vragmotor en sleepwaens betrap. Owerhede kon die voertuig met 'n onlangse kaping verbind. Polisiewoordvoerder Amanda van Wyk sê hy was uit op borgtog vir soortgelyke misdade:

Die Streekhof in Skukuza, Mpumalanga, het 'n 38-jarige Mosambiekse burger, Silas Mathebula, tot 30-jaar tronkstraf gevonnis vir misdade wat verband hou met renoster-stropery. Mathebula is skuldig bevind aan betreding, die doodmaak van drie renosters en vuurwapenmisdrywe. Hy is in 2019 aangekeer en het borgtog gekry, waarop hy weer in KwaZulu-Natal in hegtenis geneem is vir 'n soortgelyke oortreding. 'n Woordvoerder van die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag, Monica Nyuswa, het die vonnis verwelkom:

ActionSA veroordeel die groeiende teenwoordigheid van onwettige buitelandse burgers wat Mpumalanga se mynbousektor uitbuit. Dit volg op 'n onlangse voorval waarin 16 onwettige buitelanders naby Waterval Boven met gouddraende materiaal en myntoerusting in hegtenis geneem is. Intussen is ses ander ook in Barberton in hegtenis geneem met plofstof wat deur misdaadsindikate gebruik word. ActionSA-woordvoerder Thoko Mashiane vra vir onmiddellike deportasies en sterker grenssekerheid.

When the people of Phoswa Village in Mpumalanga suddenly found themselves the targets of an armed serial predator in 1997, no one was sure who they could trust. Almost a year after the murders began, a task team was formed to hunt down the Saloon Killer, but the path to justice was littered with investigative challenges and the perpetrator took full advantage.

AfriForum versoek die omgewingspraktisyn Kimopax, wat die mynbou-aansoek naby die Krugerwildtuin in Mpumalanga hanteer, om teen Maandag alle gesprekke met belanghebbende partye bekend te maak. Die burgerregte-organisasie is as 'n belanghebbende en geraakte party geregistreer en beweer hulle is uitgesluit van sleutelkommunikasie rakende die omgewings-uitwerkingstudie. AfriForum se woordvoerder, Lambert de Klerk, waarsku oor meer omvattende regstappe om die mynbou-aansoek teen te staan indien daar nie aan die versoek voldoen word nie.

Die Nasionale Raad van DBV's ondersoek die voorval waartydens 'n bobbejaanmannetjie, bekend as "Raygun" wreed doodgemaak is. Die dier is gejaag, geslaan en aan die brand gesteek by die Botleng Secondary School in Delmas in Mpumalanga. Die woordvoerder, Jacques Peacock sê die raad bied 'n beloning van 20 000 Suid-Afrikaanse rand aan vir inligting wat sal lei tot die suksesvolle vervolging van mense wat by die voorval betrokke was. Hy versoek mense wat die aanval verfilm het om na vore te kom.

Die African Transformation Movement eis 'n deeglike ondersoek en die vinnige arres van die oortreders wat verantwoordelik was vir die skietery in 'n taverne in Pienaar, Mpumalanga. Agt mense is Saterdag in die vroeë oggendure doodgeskiet en vyf gewond. Die beweging se woordvoerder, Zama Ntshona, sê huidige polisiestatistiek toon 'n kommerwekkende situasie in die provinsie, met meer as 300 moorde wat in die eerste kwartaal van die 2024/2025-boekjaar aangemeld is.

Die Grensbestuursowerheid in Suid-Afrika het bevestig die bedryf van die Lebombo-grenspos in Mpumalanga is terug na normaal. Dit volg nadat Mosambiek se opposisieleier, Venancio Mondlane, aangekondig het betogings teen die verkiesingsuitslae word vir vyf dae opgeskort. Die owerheid se adjunk-kommissaris, Mmemme Mogotsi, sê daar is nie meer toue vragmotors nie en die normale verwerking van reisigers is hervat. Sy sê hulle bly op hoë gereedheidsgrondslag vir moontlike ontwrigting ondanks die tydelike opskorting van verset-optrede:

Die Grensbestuurowerheid het bevestig dat die aantal vragmotors wat op die Lebombo-grenspos in Mpumalanga verwerk word, afgeneem het. Die kommissaris van die owerheid, Mike Masiapato, sê baie vragmotorbestuurders vrees moontlike opstande nadat Mosambiek se grondwetlike raad Frelimo verklaar het tot wenner van Oktober se verkiesing. Masiapato het aan SABC News gesê alternatiewe roetes word beoordeel om die bedreiging teen te werk van betogings wat vrag teiken.

Ministers van Suid-Afrika en Mosambiek het onderneem om dringend op te tree teen voedsel- en energieonsekerheid, weens ontwrigtings by die Lebombo-grens in Mpumalanga. Die minister van Internasionale Betrekkinge en Samewerking, Ronald Lamola en die Mosambiekse minister van Binnelandse Sake, Pascoal Ronda, het tydens 'n gesamentlike vergadering die negatiewe uitwerking op handel en beweging van goedere erken. Ronda het deur middel van 'n tolk gepraat en gesê die doel is om gladde handel te verseker en die ekonomieë van beide lande te beskerm:

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I can honestly say that one of the things I am most grateful for is being a hunter and the incredible community that comes with it. As hunters we all share a connection and love for the outdoors and an appreciation for one another, we enjoy swapping stories, meeting new hunters, seeing trophy photos and sitting round a fire talking absolute rubbish with a few cold ones. When Alan contacted me to say he was enjoying the Podcast and that his hunting lease was just down the road from the ranch I work on, I asked him if he wanted to record an episode to share his experience of hunting in South Africa, and he said, "Sure!" That's why I am thankful for being a hunter.   Remember to Rate & Review the episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
