It's episode 216 and we are lurching back to the north east, to Zululand. The heat is building up, and the conflicted relationship between King Mpande kaSenzanghakhona and his son, Cetshwayo kaMpande, is growing more complex by the minute. But this being Zululand, that wasn't the only competition in town. There was an older son of Mpande, called Hamu, who was his first-born son by Nozibhuku, who in turn was the daughter of the much respected chief Sothondose of the Nxumalo people. If we turn our thoughts to the succession process of the AmaZulu which has always been a tricky trail, this episode will serve to illuminate the razor-sharp line royal heirs must walk. Sothondose you see was Mbuyazi's brother. And if you recall, Mbuyazi was the man who had been killed along with seven of his brothers and half brothers at the Battle of Nondokasuka by Cetshwayo. King Mpande had publicly referred to Mbuyazi as his heir apparent, and Cetshwayo thought he was a better candidate. The plot thickens. It more than thickens, it congeals like thick red blood, spattered many times this episode. There is a Shakespearian correlation between his epic tales and those of the AmaZulu, where both are interlaced with human truths. This week's tale is a mist-mash of Macbeth, Richard the third, Henry the Sixth Part three. Perhaps you could include others, but let's leave it at that for now. IN Zululand, Mpande was king and he was apt to change his mind about his heir apparent. Cetshwayo had worked himself into the position by dint of killing Mbuyazi, and had begun to refer to Mpande as ixegwana, little-old man. Or Oomie which is why calling some middle-aged men Oomie can get you into trouble. Hamu kaMpande was an insidious man, a persevering leader who wriggled about, an indulgent man according to oral tradition as well as the written descriptions we have of him. Flabby, with the immense thighs of the house of Senzangakhona. Hamu led the Ngenetsheni clan, and had supported Cetshwayo during the recent Civil War, where Mbuyazi had been defeated. That was the case even though his grandfather, Sothondose, was Mbuyazi's brother. In other words Hamu fought against his Great Uncle. Blood, it seems, isn't thicker than water—unless it's pooling in a cauldron of treachery and Macbethian dread. Hamu also resented his bad luck, descended from Nzibe who ranked behind Mpande's other sons. He liked to show off his bling so to speak, and gathered a massive isigodlo of women, 300 in all, and bragged about being quasi-independent of Mpande. Cetshwayo kept a beady eye on these two, and there were confrontations with them, one took place in 1857. But nothing was resolved. Initially, Mbuyazi's remaining brothers turned out to be more of a threat than Hamu and Maphitha, and this is where the Shakespearian blood letting began in earnest. Cetshwayo wanted to kill Mbuyazi's thirteen year old brother Mkhungo. Someone tipped off the teen that the death squad was on its way and he fled to safety in Natal across the Thukela River. Other members of his direct family were already seeling refuge there, his mom Monase and Sikhotha his half-brother. shake

In this episode, Ayelén Amigo joins us to explore coloniality of age, a concept that she created during her studies and shares practical tools for decolonisation projects with children. Applying her extensive academic training and years of participatory work with children and adolescents in Argentina and Mexico, Ayelén shares how adult-centrism and patriarchy shape childhood experiences. Focusing on the integration of feminist perspectives and on the use of the "pedagogy of tenderness", Ayelén offers valuable insights into creating more inclusive and equitable approaches to youth work. The transcript is here.Sources: Linde, R., The globalization of childhood: The international diffusion of norms and law against the child death penalty. Nxumalo, F., & Cedillo, S.,  Decolonizing place in early childhood studies: Thinking with Indigenous onto-epistemologies and Black feminist geographies. Elizabeth A.

Sho, Genge! Welcome back to ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U. One of the most beautiful things about love is knowing when you're being loved, in full capacity. It is this very feeling, that is a part of the best things you could ever experience, in life. To know, that someone loves you and chooses you with everything they have? Magical. You could even call it poetic, if you want to liken it to that level. But, what happens when you're in a situation or relationship where you can feel that the love just is not enough? Is it fair to stay, in the name of struggle love, to hopefully get what you deserve? Or, maybe it's just a situation where you're banking on potential? All of these are situations we all have been through. You can feel your person of interest having a liking towards you, but it's not enough to build on. You don't feel your person giving their all, into what you two are hoping to achieve. And, this is what this episode is about! Join Solami and I, as we speak about this phenomenon of navigating situations or relationships where you're not getting enough of what you deserve and how to deal with that. We have some lovely pointers, in which we hope, you keep as you're finding your special person!

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa has move to defend the statement made by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his State of the Nation Address (SoNA) on Thursday night that "the end of loadshedding is finally within reach". This, despite South Africa rapidly descending into Stage 6 loadshedding only hours after the conclusion of the speech and the prospect of ongoing high levels of power disruptions until at least Wednesday. Speaking as a hastily convened briefing - moved to Sunday instead of the Monday morning initially scheduled for the Minister's regular update on the implementation of the Energy Action Plan - Ramokgopa refused to accept that the President's statement had caused any embarrassment. Instead, he argued that the SoNA statement was in line with both his repeated assertions that the "corner had been turned", as well as a fact-based analysis of loadshedding trends, which he even went as far as to suggest pointed to Eskom "outperforming" against its summer plan that warned of ongoing loadshedding at Stage 4. "So, I really don't understand what is meant by [the SoNA statement being] embarrassing," he remarked in response to a question posed by Engineering News. He then highlighted that Eskom and government had regularly noted the "inherent risk" of periods of intense loadshedding given the commitment that "no corners would be cut" on planned maintenance or safety, notwithstanding the propensity for unplanned outages across the poorly maintained and aged coal fleet. Claims of sabotage made by ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula were downplayed, but not entirely dismissed, with Ramokgopa indicating that Eskom continued to investigate any suspicious incident with the help of the law-enforcement agencies. But he also expressed confidence in the Eskom leadership, management and workers and their commitment to ending loadshedding. Eskom head of generation Bheki Nxumalo indicated that the rapid deterioration that led to a series of changes to the intensity of loadshedding after the President's address - initially from Stage 2 to Stage 3 at 22:00, then to Stage 4 at 2:00 and then later to Stage 6 - had been triggered by the failure of two 800 MW-apiece units at Medupi and high levels of boiler tube leaks across nine power stations, which collectively reduce supply by 4 400 MW. One of the Medupi units was removed from service as Ramaphosa was wrapping up his address, because of a chain used to help remove ash from the boiler had failed. A second Medupi unit tripped soon afterwards, resulting in unplanned outages spiking to above 17 600 MW and the declaration of Stage 6. Planned outages stood at above 6 700 MW at the time of the declaration, while partial load losses were above 6 200 MW. Ramokgopa indicated that the intensity of loadshedding should reduce materially by Wednesday and immediately following the Sunday briefing, Eskom announced Stage 5 loadshedding, despite unplanned breakdowns of above 17 500 MW and planned maintenance of more than 6 800 MW. Eskom said the modest de-escalation in loadshedding was facilitated by Eskom having "successfully replenished its pumped storage dam levels", as well as the return of some other generation units. Nxumalo insisted the generation business remained focused on achieving an energy availability factor of 65% by the end of its financial year on March 31, and denied that the target had been to achieve an average EAF of 65% for the entire 2023/24 period. The EAF has been on a declining trend for several years and dropped to a dismal 54% last year, well below even the disputed EAF recovery targets set by the Eskom board. The net result was South Africa's worst-ever year for loadshedding.

Eskom generation head Bheki Nxumalo has indicated that an extended outage at Koeberg Unit 2, which begins on December 11, is currently expected to continue until September 2024, increasing the prospect of both Koeberg units being out of service simultaneously from late July next year. Nxumalo provided an update on the outage schedule during a briefing on the implementation of the Energy Action Plan, at which it was confirmed that Unit 1 had been ramped up to 924 MW by December 10. This, following the unit's much-delayed outage, during which its three steam generators were replaced. Unit 2's steam generators will be replaced during the outage starting on December 11. The replacement forms a key part of Eskom's application to the National Nuclear Regulator (NNR) for authorisation to operate Koeberg's two pressurised water reactors for a further 20 years, after their 40-year licence expires. As things stand, the licences for both units will expire on July 21, 2024; the same date on which Eskom currently intends removing Unit 1 for another 200-day-plus outage to conduct compulsory works in line with a ten-year maintenance cycle, including crucial containment building leak tests. However, Eskom has indicated to Engineering News in response to an enquiry that, for operational reasons, it would "definitely like to shift the start of the next outage on Unit 1". Such a move would be dependent, however, on a "positive Long-Term Operation (LTO) decision by the NNR". The NNR is currently conducting a public participation process on the LTO Safety Case, which was submitted by Eskom in June 2022, and will host three sets of public hearings in February ahead of a final decision in July. Eskom has also applied to the NNR to have the unit 1 and 2 licences separated to reflect the fact that Unit 2 entered into commercial operation on November 9, 1985; more than a year after Unit 1, on July 21, 1984. The NNR has completed a review of the decoupling, including an assessment of some components shared by both units, such as the seismic bearings and cables, and its board will make a decision before the end of January. Should the decoupling approval be followed by an LTO approval, Eskom might be able to shift the 200-day-plus maintenance out, presumably until after Unit 2 resumes production with its three new steam generators. Should the decoupling and LTO be refused, both units will be out of service from July 21. Nxumalo expressed confidence in the case Eskom had made for the separation of the licences and indicated that a positive decision could provide it with some operational flexibility should the LTO also be approved. He added that, by July 21, Unit 1 would have been in operation for just over seven months, meaning that there would be scope for it to continue operating should an NNR LTO authorisation be in hand. "But we don't want to preempt issues at this stage. "The first thing that we must work on is to get that approval for the life-extension of Koeberg," Nxumalo said. Eskom told Engineering News separately that, based on the reviews performed and international experience, it "remains optimistic that the NNR will issue the licence for LTO". "As long as this is received prior to the date specified in the current licence then it is unlikely that both units will be out of service at the same time." Nevertheless, both units will still have to undergo the mandatory 10-year maintenance tests in the coming two years, with the tests on Unit 1 having been carried out previously in 2015 and on Unit 2 in 2016. Therefore, even if Eskom can avoid having both units out simultaneously from July 21, 2024, there will still be long periods, from now until 2026, when only one unit will be producing at any given point. This has been the case for the whole of 2023, which has been South Africa's most disrupted year for loadshedding, both with regards to the number of days affected and the level of intensity, with Stage 6 having been declared on several occas...

Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa attributed the "unwelcome" ramp up in the intensity of loadshedding to Stage 6 to a need for Eskom to rebuild its emergency reserves that had been depleted by the failure of large coal units during the week and a 1 500 MW spike in demand, which was attributed to the heat-wave conditions affecting parts of the country. Eskom implemented Stage 6 loadshedding at midday on November 24, a period that coincided with the yearly Black Friday retail event, during which shoppers flock to malls to take advantage of price specials. The utility also indicated that it intended sustaining the same level of loadshedding intensity until 5:00 on Monday morning. During Stage 6, power is interrupted in some areas for between 8 and 12 hours in a day. Speaking at a briefing organised hastily after the declaration, Ramokgopa said that although unplanned breakdowns and partial load losses were elevated at 15 600 MW and planned outages stood at 5 800 MW, Eskom would not typically have needed to resort to Stage 6 loadshedding over a low-demand weekend period to offset such losses. However, demand on Friday had risen to 1 500 MW above that experienced on Thursday, which Eskom Generation executive Bheki Nxumalo attributed to a higher use of air-conditioners. This, coupled with a requirement to to replenish dam levels at the pumped storage schemes and rebuild diesel stocks, particularly at the Ankerlig open-cycle gas turbine, had led to the decision to implement Stage 6. The emergency generators had been used extensively during the week, when large units failed at power station such as Medupi, Lethabo, Duvha and Majuba. Nxumalo insisted that Ankerlig's diesel stocks were not being directly affected by the congestion at the Port of Cape Town and said the rate of replenishment was instead limited by the usual road-logistics constraints associated with the restocking of the facility. Ramokgopa also insisted that there had been no reversal in the recovery trend across the coal fleet and forecast that there would be "significantly lower levels of loadshedding" in December, even predicting that there would be some days when no loadshedding would be implemented. He acknowledged, though, that the loadshedding threat could only be eliminated with the introduction of new generation capacity, and said actions were being taken to unlock private capacity and resume public procurement. However, no firm date was provided for the resumption of public renewables procurement, which was initially scheduled to resume in the middle of 2023, but which has been delayed because of ongoing uncertainty over grid allocations. A further system briefing would be held on Sunday.

By the 1810s, Zwide had built a powerful centralized kingdom and reinforced this power using his extensive family. He also formed feared amabutho such as the amaPhela, the abaHlakabezi, and isiKwitshi and the amaNkaiya. Most of these were around before Shaka became king of the Zulus, and the Ndwandwe were so large that they split into semi-autonomous sections such as the Nxumalo, the Manqele and the Phiseni. At first, Zwide concentrated has raids to the north, around modern day Iswatini. The Ndwande attacked Sobhuza of the Dlamini-Swazi north of the Phongolo River many times, but the 1815 attack was characterized by extreme violence. Sobhuza was forced to flee along with his umuzi and his people were almost destroyed. The description of the ill will makes little sense because Zwide had married off one of his daughters to Sobhuza. The Dlamini were already facing raids from the east, from closer to Delagoa Bay. The Ndwandwe were regarded as bandits and destabilized that part of southern Africa, then turned their attention further South. Zwide attacked the Khumalo people living between the Mkhuze and White Mfolozi rivers and eventually, Donda of the Khumalo was killed by Zwide. The year 1815 is seen as highly significant because it was then that Matiwane of the Ngwane was driven out of what he'd thought was a well-defended area between the Bivane River and Upper Mfolozi. Matiwane relaxed after some years of building his power base, including concluding an alliance with the Hlubi and then the Mthethwa. Out of the blue, Zwide dispatched his men and they fell upon the amaNgwane, driving them out of their homes. This moment is regarded as the first of many destabilizing events between the Thukela and the Ponghola that led to a movement of people across the country – the sub-continent, and migration epic oral storytelling. It's called the Mfecane.

Against a backdrop of poor global market performance this week, Portfolio Manager, Siboniso  Nxumalo, unpacks how continuing Covid-19 challenges are concerning markets, as infections keep rising despite vaccine rollouts.  

In this episode, I'm joined by Manqoba Nxumalo, an activist from eSwatini (formerly Swaziland) currently based in Norway. He is a master's degree candidate in Environment, Development, and Cultural Change at Oslo University (Norway). Manqoba is the publisher of an online weekend newspaper called The Bridge and a chairperson of the eSwatini Institute of Alternative Ideas (SIAI). SIAI is an independent platform for a healthy exchange of ideas about the developmental, political, social, and economic challenges facing eSwatini. The organization aims to promote alternative ideas on the transformation of eSwatini from an absolute monarchy to a democratic country. Highlights of the conversation: There has always been a form of social censor, but now it happens through online social platforms. Cancel culture began on online social networks as an act of social shaming for an act considered cringeworthy. It has also taken another dimension where wielders of materials and power exert some control over a given social milieu. Cancel culture is really marginalizing voices to an extent that they have no opportunity to be part of a discussion. Cancel Culture is a dress rehearsal for mass murder or extermination. The ultimate of cancel culture is the cancellation of human life – murdering those with differing views. Cancel culture in Swaziland – The government has occasionally shut down the internet (violating the right to freedom of expression) to silence calls for democracy and suppress evidence of killings of unarmed civilians by the army and police. Courts deny protestors their right to bail and others are given long custodial sentences for minor crimes/felonies of looting or theft during protests.

Siboniso Nxumalo from Old Mutual Investments chose Reunert and Graeme Körner from Körner Perspective suggested investing in holding companies that are trading at excessive discounts to NAV like e.g. African Rainbow Capital, Ethos Capital and Remgro. Nxumalo said: "My pick is an industrial company in SA called Ruenert. We like the management, it's a very stable company and we think that it's not earning at its peak earnings. They have a solid balance sheet and I think the price is very attractive and it pays a fantastic dividend."​ Körner said: "What we've been talking about is the theme that the recovery is is probably under way, so if you believe in the in the hypothesis that the markets will get better SA will return, these underlying portfolio holdings will recover the NAVs will swell and over time we believe that those NAV discounts will narrow to more sensible levels."

Siboniso Nxumalo shares insights on the lacklustre market performance yesterday – other than surprisingly strong rand hedge stocks despite a strong rand environment – and discusses the listing of AngloAmerican's coal business, Thungela Resources.

Siboniso Nxumalo takes a look at the pressure both local and global markets have been under recently, as he shares his views on the opportunities to be found among JSE-listed companies currently. 

Siboniso Nxumalo from Old Mutual Investments chose BAT as his stock pick of the day and Mia Kruger from Kruger International chose Unilever. Nxumalo said: "If you look at British American Tobacco the issue there in terms of why the price has collapsed or underperformed is largely because of raw cigarette volumes which have been trending downwards. With the new generation products pickup that slack. We look at it and we say well, this is largely relevant if you look at what's in the price and the price you're getting at 8% dividend yield you're buying it at an 8% earnings multiple and you're getting about 8% earnings growth and so therefore you are likely to get 15% return without doing too much." Kruger said: "The one that I want to the single out is Unilever. If you consider that Unilever has a very very strong personal care and goods company in the world. They've got over 400 brands, they operate in over 190 countries around the world, they've got some of the strongest brands that are the biggest producer of soap in the world and more than two and a half billion people use their products daily."

A month ago Stacey and J Sbu did a content piece on things you wish you could take back that were said in an argument with a loved one. J Sbu's regret was and still is an altercation that he had with his now late younger brother, Siphamandla. Siphamandla passed away on the first of January 2011, the very same day that J Sbu shared with Stacey and the rest of KZN that he had, had a fight with him. In the Nxumalo family, the first of January symbolized new beginnings, as a tradition- the family would always go to the beach for some quality family time and cleansing of their spirits. In 2011 the day had began with a rift between the two Nxumalo boys, who not only exchanged harsh words in a heated argument but that escalated to something physical. J Sbu admits that he is still deeply scarred from that incident because that last interaction would be their last conversation ever. Siphamandla would later pass away on that day after drowning in the ocean. J Sbu opens up about the real reason he is terrified of the ocean in tribute to his late brother
