The leader of Build One South Africa (BOSA), Mmusi Maimane, recently concluded his visit to the United States, where he engaged in discussions with senators, and esteemed institutions such as MIT and Harvard, and connected with South African expatriates in Boston. In an interview with Biznews, Maimane emphasised the US's critical role as a trade partner for South Africa. He stated that his visit aimed to address the sustainability of this partnership with the US and the broader West, as the country approaches a pivotal election. Maimane conveyed the message that the views narrowly held by the ANC in terms of its position on Russia are not the view of all South Africans and certainly not the view taken by the South African Parliament. He said that South Africa's foreign policy should be taken back to what Nelson Mandela stood for. On the ANC's decision to take Israel to the International Court of Justice, the BOSA leader says it polarised the issue and is not helpful in finding a quick resolution. He accused the ANC of hypocrisy in taking on this issue while building relationships with dictators who do not care for human rights. Maimane warned that if the ANC government continues to be seen as kowtowing to dictators, it could make the flow of capital into South Africa difficult. He said that a new government and a new generation of leaders who think in the interest of South Africa will fight to protect human rights and continue its partnership with the West while creating a strong Africa. He also assured his US audience that the capability of the state can be restored in South Africa. - Linda van Tilburg

In the past week, Manipur has been plagued by reports of violence. Clashes erupted on May 3, with images of angry mobs setting properties ablaze. The army was called in on May 4 to assist law enforcement, as a curfew was imposed in eight districts. The immediate violence erupted after a 'Tribal Solidarity March' protesting a court order directing the consideration of Meiteis for Scheduled Tribe status. The state government reported that 60 people died because of the violence in the state.  Now that the violence appears to have died down, there is an uneasy calm. We need to understand not only historic origins of the violence, but what measures can be taken in the future. The recent clashes in Manipur revolve around two communities: the Meiteis, who dominate the valley region, and the Kuki tribe, who inhabit the hills. The conflict is linked to the land and demography of the region, and its complex history.  Host Sneha Richhariya speaks to Prof. Kham Khan Suan Hausing, who has closely studied the conflict in Manipur and is currently Head of the Department of Political Science at the University of Hyderabad. See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

In this episode, Neil talks with husband and wife filmmaking team Josh Appignanesi and Devorah Baum about their new work Husband, a follow-up to 2016's meta-documentary-autofiction-comedy The New Man. Josh and Devorah are co-directors and appear in the film as versions of themselves navigating marriage, parenthood, work and a New York tour for Devorah's latest book. The conversation covers their unique approach to marriage and moviemaking, comedy, collaboration and feelings. It's a fascinating discussion about a polarising piece of cinema. Polarising, because as the discussion around the interview highlights, Neil and Dario had very different responses to the film and in an in-depth chat, grapple with those responses and what it says about them as viewers and people.

(You'll have to listen to the info in podcast intro on why my memory may be a little short…) I am ‘pretty sure' the podcast included some of the below; and I know that within these topics that there's a lot of reading between the lines that needs to be done. It's explicit, so, warning, no kiddies around unless you're loose at parenting like us. How the last three years have changed us. How we show up online. Revenue streams and businesses online.

This week in theconversation.com, a thought-provoking article called "Polarising, sensational media coverage of transgender athletes should end – our research shows a way forward" was front and center, discussing how the press covers the issue inclusion, where they get it wrong and how they can do better. One of the authors of the scholarly examination is Dr. Jaimie Veale, Senior Lecturer in Psychology; Director, Transgender Health Research Lab, University of Waikato, New Zealand Dr. Veale has been outspoken in the past, especially as fellow Kiwi Laurel Hubbard was making her run to the Tokyo Olympics. In the weeks leading up to last year's Summer Olympics, Veale was beamed up to for a deep dive with our house Karleigh Webb on the Hubbard situation, and the greater of issue of how it was covered and how it affected trans communities. This week's podcast will be a rewind of that interview, provided additional context to the article she co-wrote and bringing a sharp focus into what has been a predominant discussion that has only grown alongside the regulatory and legal actions among sporting governing bodies and society.
