The High Court in Pretoria has granted an interdict halting the burial of Zambia's former President Edgar Lungu. The Zambian government had approached the court, seeking to stop the burial which was scheduled to take place yesterday in South Africa. The government argues that disputes over Lungu's final resting place need to be resolved before any burial can take place. Elvis Presslin spoke to Advocate Simba Chitando, a human rights lawyer, to analyze this interdict

Just hours before the expected burial of former Zambian President, Edgar Lungu. The Attorney General of Zambia Mulilo D. Kabesha SC has headed to the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria seeking an order to halt the burial of the late former President. Lungu died in Johannesburg, South Africa.

In conversation with Takudzwa Mharadze   In this episode of Africa Right Talk, the conversation unfolds against the backdrop of the upcoming international conference themed “Advancing Justice through Reparations: Reparations, Restoration, and Renaissance,” that was held from 2–3 June 2025 in Pretoria, South Africa. This landmark event was co-organised by the University of Pretoria, the University of Goma, the University of The Bahamas, and the Bahamas National Reparations Committee, in collaboration with key African Union human rights bodies and CARICOM. The conference brought together academics, policymakers, activists, and experts to explore strategies for reparative justice, with papers to be published in the 2025 African Human Rights Yearbook. Central to this episode is a compelling discussion with Takudzwa Mharadze, who emphasises the need for unified Africa-Caribbean action to demand reparations, restore dignity, and challenge the lingering impacts of colonialism and slavery. Drawing on the African Union's recent designation of 2025 as the year of reparations, the speaker highlights the importance of learning from the Caribbean's efforts, particularly CARICOM's ten-point reparations plan. He critiques narrow, financial-only views of reparations and instead champions a broader, holistic agenda that includes debt cancellation, cultural restitution, education reform, and decolonization of knowledge. The episode underscores the necessity of building a robust, inclusive continental reparations framework, one that unites Africa and the diaspora through shared history and common purpose. The University of Pretoria and its partners are commended for their role in convening diverse voices and fostering a platform for sustained collaboration and policy influence through research, advocacy, and regional solidarity.   Takudzwa Mharadze is a PhD candidate in Development Studies at the University of Johannesburg, where he is undertaking research on Food and Nutrition Security, Adaptation and Resilience in the Context of Climate Variability in Zimbabwe: The Case of Gokwe-South District. His study critically explores the intersections of climate change, food systems, and rural livelihoods, with a focus on enhancing community resilience in vulnerable regions. Takudzwa brings over a decade of experience in development research, monitoring and evaluation, and academic and policy analysis. Throughout his career, he has engaged with diverse development themes including climate justice, disaster risk reduction, sustainable agriculture, and social protection. His practical experience spans both governmental and non-governmental sectors, where he has contributed to policy formulation, programme design, capacity building, and impact assessments. Currently serving as a part-time lecturer at the Zimbabwe Open University. T. Mharadze is an early career researcher with a strong interest in academic publishing. He is committed to contributing scholarly knowledge that bridges research, policy, and practice to address pressing socio-economic and environmental challenges in sub-Saharan Africa     This was recorded on 2 June 2025.             Youtube: https://youtu.be/MpQFogU6lns Music and news extracts: Inner Peace by Mike Chino https://soundcloud.com/mike-chinoCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music promoted by Audio Libraryhttps://youtu.be/0nI6qJeqFcc Limitless https://stock.adobe.com/za/search/audio?k=45259238

Le 29 mars 1988, Dulcie September est assassinée au 28 rue des Petites Ecuries dans le Xe arrondissement de Paris. C'est à cette adresse qu'elle militait contre l'apartheid qui sévissait dans son pays d'origine, l'Afrique du Sud. Depuis son arrivée en France, elle enquêtait aussi sur les liens entre les deux pays, en plein embargo militaire décrété par les Nations Unies contre le régime de Pretoria. Dulcie September savait que son travail dérangeait. Elle se sentait surveillée, menacée. L'enquête ouverte pour assassinat est rapidement classée. Et encore aujourd'hui, son crime n'a jamais été élucidé. Au grand dam de ses proches et de sa famille. La voix du crime de ce premier épisode sur l'assassinat de Dulcie September, c'est Jacqueline Dérens, amie et collaboratrice de la militante anti-apartheid dans les années 80. Elle raconte au micro de Marie Zafimehy "le choc terrible" qu'a été la mort de Dulcie September, et les débuts de la première enquête ouverte par la justice française.Distribué par Audiomeans.

On 12 May, 59 Afrikaners arrived in Washington to receive “refugee” status. At a press conference, President Trump said he had acted because Afrikaners - the white minority community that ruled South Africa during apartheid - face an existential threat. His words echoed the views of his South African born former adviser, Elon Musk, who has repeatedly used his X platform to amplify false claims of a “white genocide”. Many South Africans, including several Afrikaners that we have spoken to, dismiss the idea that they are under attack as wild misinformation. So where does the idea that white South Africans are being uniquely targeted come from? And what impact is it having on the diplomatic relationship between the White House and Pretoria? This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from BBC Trending in-depth reporting on the world of social media.

In conversation with Phakamile Madonsela and Belinda Matore In this episode of Africa Rights Talk, Belinda Matore sits down with Phakamile Madonsela, from Media Monitoring Africa. The episode explores the pressing issue of online harms faced by children in South Africa and the continent more broadly. Drawing from her work at Media Monitoring Africa, Madonsela outlines the dual nature of the digital world—highlighting both its potential for connectivity, education, and self-expression, and its darker side, including cyberbullying, child sexual abuse material, and online stalking. She stresses the importance of equipping young people with digital literacy and the tools to become responsible digital citizens while also emphasizing the need for inclusive, rights-based digital participation frameworks.   Phakamile highlights the interplay between personal responsibility, institutional duty, and systemic influence also speaks to the important role of the state and digital platforms in safeguarding children's rights online. While much responsibility has traditionally been placed on parents, often without sufficient regard to their digital literacy or social context, the state remains the primary duty bearer in upholding children's rights. Through enforceable legislation, such as South Africa's POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act), the state is empowered to set the rules by which tech companies must operate. Yet, the interview highlighted how inconsistencies in enforcement allow global platforms like Instagram and TikTok to offer less protection to children in South Africa than in Europe. This disparity reflects a need for stronger state-led regulation and enforcement to ensure equal digital protection.    Phakamile Madonsela is a dedicated advocate for the protection and promotion of children's rights in the media, specializing in children's rights, media, and digital advocacy.  At MMA,she leads critical projects that advance child participation and digital rights within the African context, with a particular emphasis on creating safe, inclusive digital spaces for young people. Her expertise centers on the intersection of human rights, internet governance, and children's digital rights, with a passion for child participation in democratic processes. Notably, she was listed in the Mail & Guardian 200 Young South Africans in 2019 and selected for the DGMT Innovation Fellowship in 2024, and is currently  pursuing a Masters degree in Multidisciplinary Human Rights to further advance her work in child participation and digital rights within the African context.   Belinda Matore is a passionate advocate for children's rights in the digital age, with a special focus on online child protection, digital rights and legal technology. As a Doctor of Laws (LLD) candidate at the University of Pretoria, her research explores legal technology, regulatory compliance, and digital governance, all through the lens of safeguarding children in digital spaces. In her role as Project Officer at the Expression, Information, and Digital Rights (EIDR) Unit, Belinda leads work that strengthens freedom of expression, access to information, digital rights and child safety frameworks within the African context. Her work is driven by a commitment to shaping policies that uphold children's rights online and empower their participation in digital society. She was recently featured in Legal Africa Magazine for her contributions to the field of digital law and child protection.   This conversation was recorded on 4 June 2025.   Youtube: https://youtu.be/MpQFogU6lns Music and news extracts: Inner Peace by Mike Chino https://soundcloud.com/mike-chinoCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music promoted by Audio Libraryhttps://youtu.be/0nI6qJeqFcc Limitless https://stock.adobe.com/za/search/audio?k=452592386

In conversation with Dr. Dennis Wamalwa In this episode of the Africa Rights Talk Podcast, Dr. Dennis Wamalwa joins the conversation during a NANHRI training held in Pretoria from April 10 to 11, 2025. The training focused on strengthening the capacity of African National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) in the protection and promotion of the rights of intersex persons. Dr. Wamalwa, a leading human rights advocate and academic, shares key reflections on the role of NHRIs in addressing the systemic invisibility, stigma, and discrimination faced by intersex persons across the continent. He discusses the necessity of aligning institutional practices with human rights standards and the importance of integrating intersex issues into broader national human rights agendas. Drawing on insights from the training, Dr. Wamalwa emphasizes the need for capacity building that goes beyond technical knowledge to include empathy, cultural sensitivity, and legal reform. He highlights how African Commission Resolution 552 serves as a critical framework for guiding NHRIs in their mandate to protect intersex persons, who are often marginalised due to deeply rooted social and medical norms. The conversation underscores the urgency of institutional accountability, inclusive policy development, and sustained advocacy to ensure intersex persons are not left behind in the human rights discourse. The episode serves as a compelling call for action, urging NHRIs and civil society actors to work collaboratively in transforming awareness into tangible protections for intersex individuals in Africa.   Dr. Dennis Wamalwa is a Kenyan human rights leader and the first openly intersex person to be appointed as a Commissioner of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) in February 2022. He holds a PhD in Peace and Conflict Studies and is a university lecturer.  Dr. Wamalwa has become a powerful advocate against discrimination toward intersex persons. He delivered candid testimony before Kenya's Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, outlining his experiences of rights violations based on his identity. As Commissioner, he champions legal reforms such as Kenya's inclusion of intersex status in the 2019 census and 2022 Children's Act, and continues to push for stronger protection frameworks, public awareness, and policy implementation to ensure recognition, dignity, and equal rights for intersex individuals across Kenya and Africa.   This conversation was recorded on 11 April 2025.   Youtube: https://youtu.be/MpQFogU6lns Music and news extracts: Inner Peace by Mike Chino https://soundcloud.com/mike-chinoCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music promoted by Audio Libraryhttps://youtu.be/0nI6qJeqFcc Limitless https://stock.adobe.com/za/search/audio?k=452592386

Arudi shares insights from the recent NHRI training held in Pretoria in April 2025, which focused on building the capacity of national human rights institutions to implement African Commission Resolutions 275 and 552. These resolutions address the protection of LGBTQ+ individuals and intersex persons from violence and discrimination. Drawing on her experience as an HRDA alumna and her sociological background, Arudi reflects on the challenges of working in politically and culturally sensitive contexts and underscores the importance of equipping NHRIs with the tools to navigate these complexities. The episode highlights a call to action for broader stakeholder engagement, emphasising collaboration, contextual strategies, and peer learning as vital for sustainable human rights advocacy in Africa. Laurah Arudi Cori is a Kenyan interdisciplinary human rights advocate currently serving as Programmes Officer for Human Rights Defenders and SOGIESC (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression, and Sex Characteristics) at the Network of African National Human Rights Institutions (NANHRI). In this role, she leads efforts to strengthen the capacity of national human rights institutions across Africa, with a focus on implementing key African Commission resolutions, including Resolution 275 on the protection of LGBTQ+ persons and Resolution 552 on the rights of intersex individuals.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 1st of June, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Matthew 12:50:”For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.” I want to speak today about family. The first family that ever existed was the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Yes, we're talking about the Holy Trinity. That is why family is so very important to our Lord Jesus Christ and that is why the devil is hell-bent on destroying families. What do they say? You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family. The hardest place to be a Christian is in the family because they really know you. There are no masks on. It's the real deal, but seriously, the first family on earth was Adam and Eve and they had two boys. One's name was Cain and the other was Abel and what happened? Yes, they fought but they didn't just fight. In fact, Cain killed his brother. Families are not easy places to get on with one another.Early this morning, I was in a prayer meeting and as I walked into the little chapel where we meet as a family, a men's prayer meeting, and we've become very close to each other over many, many years. One of my brothers was there, a senior man, and I said, ”How are things with the family?” He said, ”My wife has gone up to Pretoria to spend time with my daughter because she has had a little baby and she is helping her with the baby.” I said, ”Are you missing her?” And he looked at me and he smiled. He said, ”Yes.” He said, ”I'm missing the arguing.” He had his tongue in his cheek.Family is very important. The family that prays together, stays together. We really need to get into the habit of praying as a family. Even this morning after we had met together, there's over twenty men, we started to sing, we sing before we pray. I want to sing a song for you and I want you to join me because we sang it this morning and it just brings a bonding and a family love.Be still and know that I am GodBe still and know that I am GodBe still and know that I am GodI am the Lord that healeth theeI am the Lord that healeth theeI am the Lord that healeth theeGod bless you today and stand strong together as a family,God bless you and goodbye.

Send us a textWhat happens when the dream your mother sacrificed everything for becomes your personal nightmare? Johannesburg-based filmmaker Karabo Lediga joins us to explore this haunting question through her debut feature film "Sabbatical" – a raw, honest portrayal of mother-daughter relationships in post-apartheid South Africa. A 30-something year old woman called Lesego, is the compelling main character of this story. She is forced to return to her childhood home in the township in Pretoria after a professional downfall. While living in her mother's house, she has to reckon with having become alien to her own mother, how her Model C school experience has facilitated the fragility of that relationship, and the psychological cost of having being thrown in all-white spaces in order to achieve the success or dreams that parents desperately want for their children. Our conversation ventures beyond the film into Karabo's amazing film and television career. Her credits include  Netflix's "Queen Sono" and the touching short film "What Did You Dream?" that was inspired by her own grandmother's story.  Karabo shares invaluable insights about sustaining a creative career in South Africa's evolving film landscape. Bonus: she shares the different funding mechanisms available to South African filmmakers—a system that is relatively unique to the country—and her commitment to authentic storytelling despite industry pressures.Sabbatical is a much needed voice from South Africa's so-called born free generation. It's entertaining, it offers deep cultural insights and serves as an amazing showcase of Karabo's unique voice.  Whether you're a film enthusiast, a creative professional, or someone navigating complex family dynamics, Karabo's perspectives will resonate long after the credits roll.LINKS AND MENTIONS Model C - Formerly whites-only public schools that were desegregated after Apartheid. Matwetwe - seminal film of the film production house Diprente, who collaborated with Karabo on Sabbatical. Support the showNEWSLETTER, stay in the loop and subscribe to our newsletterSUPPORT this work so that we can keep it free.

A delegation from South Africa's Patriotic Alliance is visiting Israel this week on a trip organized by South African Friends of Israel (SAFI). The visit comes despite the tension between the two countries and the hostile stance of Pretoria's ruling ANC towards Israel. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Bafana Modise from SAFI.

South African Deputy President Paul Mashatile, in an interview with FRANCE 24's Georja Calvin-Smith, denied President Donald Trump's claims of a “white genocide” in South Africa. Responding to Trump's scheme to welcome white South Africans to the US as refugees, Mashatile said, “If they want to be refugees, it's their business. But they can't bad-mouth the country.” Pretoria is also looking to expand its diplomatic ties with Paris. Mashatile said that while relations with the US are positive and valued, Africa's powerhouse isn't putting all its eggs in one basket. 

It's a White House visit preceded by some heavy-handed sales tactics. South Africa's president Cyril Ramaphosa in the lion's den of the Oval Office after Donald Trump advisor Elon Musk accused Pretoria of discrimination over a stalled commercial deal to buy his Starlink low orbit satellite system. Ramaphosa reportedly now offering a workaround of post-Apartheid local Black ownership laws, laws to address historical inequality in a nation where whites make up 7-percent of the population but still own 70 percent of the land.Adding pressure on Donald Trump's visitor, a lie that's even appeared unsollicited on Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot. Grok talking up a supposed genocide against whites in South Africa – a country that's got way too high a homicide rate for sure, but where in reality one percent of the victims are whites. Trump himself talking up the trope and offering refugee status to whites.So how should the nation that currently hosts the rotating chair of the G20 handle its relations with the United States? How should it handle the South African-born Musk who enjoys outsized leverage it seems? And more broadly, what path for a South Africa that needs foreign investment to fulfill its potential?Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Jimena Morales-Velasco, Alessandro Xenos.

Le président américain Donald Trump a réitéré mercredi devant son homologue sud-africain Cyril Ramaphosa, reçu à la Maison blanche, des accusations de persécution et de massacres de Blancs en Afrique du Sud, l'un des principaux points de contentieux entre leurs deux pays. Pretoria rejette les accusations selon lesquelles les Blancs sont spécifiquement visés de manière disproportionnée par des crimes. Le taux d'homicide reste élevé en Afrique du Sud, la grande majorité des victimes sont noires.

Trump-Ramaphosa : un tête-à-tête sous tensionAux États-Unis pour une visite de quatre jours, le président Cyril Ramaphosa doit s'entretenir avec son homologue Donald Trump. Le face-à-face entre les deux hommes s'annonce tendu tant les relations entre Washington et Pretoria se sont dégradées ces derniers mois. Que faut-il attendre de cette rencontre ? Avec Valentin Hugues, correspondant de RFI à Johannesburg.  France : le scandale des eaux minérales naturelles Révélée il y a un an et demi, l'affaire des traitements illégaux des eaux minérales par la multinationale Nestlé a été délibérément dissimulée par l'État français, selon une commission d'enquête sénatoriale. Pourquoi l'État a-t-il choisi de garder le silence ?

À part leur passion commune pour le golf, il n'y a pas beaucoup d'atomes crochus entre l'États-Unien Donald Trump et le Sud-Africain Cyril Ramaphosa. Surtout depuis que le président américain a accusé l'Afrique du Sud de commettre un « génocide » contre les fermiers blancs afrikaners. Mais ce mercredi, les deux chefs d'Etat vont se rencontrer à la Maison Blanche. Donald Trump et Cyril Ramaphosa vont-ils être capables de trouver un terrain d'entente sur Gaza et sur les tarifs douaniers ? La chercheuse de l'International Crisis Group, par ailleurs Sud-Africaine, Liesl Louw,  est notre invitée. RFI : Quelle est la vraie raison du raidissement des Américains contre l'Afrique du Sud ? Est-ce que c'est le sort des fermiers blancs afrikaners ou est-ce que c'est la plainte pour génocide que Pretoria a déposé contre Israël devant la Cour internationale de Justice ?Liesl Louw : Ce qui est sûr, c'est que la plainte contre Israël a beaucoup contribué à cette dégradation. Et puis aussi, depuis le début de 2022, le fait que l'Afrique du Sud ne voulait pas ouvertement condamner la Russie pour l'invasion de l'Ukraine et son insistance depuis aussi de vouloir être neutre dans ce conflit, l'Afrique du Sud étant membre des BRICS, etc. Donc il y a le conflit en Ukraine et puis sa ferme opposition à ce que fait Israël à Gaza.Et alors, sur cette question palestinienne que l'Afrique du Sud défend depuis la fin de l'apartheid, est-ce que vous pensez que Cyril Ramaphosa va lever le pied dans les prochaines semaines pour essayer de calmer le jeu avec Donald Trump?Moi, je pense que, politiquement, il ne va pas lever le pied. Il y a un large consensus en Afrique du Sud, même au sein de cette coalition du gouvernement d'unité nationale, pour condamner Israël. D'accord, il y a des nuances. L'Alliance démocratique, donc le parti de l'opposition qui fait partie du gouvernement aujourd'hui, n'a pas soutenu le procès à La Haye. Mais l'opposition de l'Afrique du Sud contre Israël a une popularité assez large. Je ne pense pas que c'est quelque chose que Cyril Ramaphosa va ouvertement changer dans cette position pro-palestinienne.À lire aussiAfrique du Sud: des diplomates aux États-Unis pour apaiser les tensions entre les deux paysDepuis le début de l'invasion de l'Ukraine il y a trois ans, l'Afrique du Sud a renforcé ses liens avec la Russie, notamment via les BRICS. Elle s'est aussi rapprochée de la Chine et de l'Iran. Est-ce que Cyril Ramaphosa n'a pas intérêt à rééquilibrer sa politique internationale s'il veut voir Donald Trump lors du sommet du G20 en novembre prochain en Afrique du Sud ?Oui, et je pense que ça, c'est vraiment l'enjeu diplomatique de cette rencontre. Parce que Ramaphosa, il faut se souvenir, à la fin du mois d'avril, il a invité Zelensky à Pretoria. Même si c'est très complexe, parce que l'Afrique du Sud, quand même, est un membre des BRICS. La Chine étant son plus grand partenaire économique. Et il y a encore très récemment des ministres du Congrès national africain (ANC) qui sont allés en Russie rencontrer Vladimir Poutine à Moscou. Donc, ce n'est pas facile de jouer les non-alignés.Sur le plan économique, les Américains sont le deuxième partenaire commercial de l'Afrique du Sud à qui ils achètent beaucoup de voitures et beaucoup de produits agricoles. Si demain Donald Trump augmente les taxes douanières de 30 %, comme il en a agité la menace le mois dernier, est-ce que cela ne risque pas de ruiner beaucoup d'agriculteurs et beaucoup d'ouvriers agricoles ?Oui, absolument. Ça, c'est vraiment la vraie raison pour cette visite et pour l'Afrique du Sud qui a un taux de chômage de 32 %. Et si encore, dans certaines zones où il y a des grandes fabriques d'automobiles, ces usines venaient à fermer, des dizaines de milliers de gens pourraient perdre leur travail et cela aggraverait le taux de chômage. Donc l'agriculture, le secteur automobile sont absolument clé pour l'Afrique du Sud.À lire aussiAfrique du Sud: les premiers «réfugiés» blancs afrikaners partis pour les États-UnisLe porte-parole de la présidence sud-africaine a évoqué il y a quelques jours un éventuel accord avec les États-Unis dans le domaine des terres rares et des métaux stratégiques comme le manganèse. Est-ce que ce serait une façon d'amadouer le président américain par un deal à la façon Volodymyr Zelensky ?Oui, absolument. Et depuis quelque temps, nous regardons de près où sont les terres rares. L'Afrique du Sud est un grand pays minier, bien sûr, et l'Afrique du Sud a des ressources stratégiques : manganèse, platine, chrome. Mais en ce qui concerne les terres rares, l'Afrique du Sud n'est pas un grand producteur de terres rares. Donc, depuis quelque temps, des économistes, des diplomates, tout le monde réfléchit, même dans les médias. Il y a énormément de débats autour de ce que l'Afrique du Sud peut offrir. Comment réparer cette relation qui est extrêmement importante, même s'il y a des choses où l'Afrique du Sud et les États-Unis ne sont pas d'accord ? La question d'Israël, par exemple. Mais pour réparer cette relation très importante, l'Afrique du Sud souhaite mettre sur la table ses atouts économiques.

Episode 367: In the early hours of Valentine's Day 2013, the world awoke to the shocking news that South African Olympic and Paralympic hero Oscar Pistorius had shot and killed his girlfriend, a 29-year-old paralegal and model Reeva Steenkamp, inside his Pretoria home. Pistorius, celebrated for overcoming the loss of his legs to become a global sporting icon, now stood accused of a crime that would grip and divide a nation. The ensuing investigation and trial, marked by intense media scrutiny, conflicting testimonies, and a dramatic courtroom battle, would raise questions about celebrity, violence, and the quality of justice in South Africa.

Dr. Lindiwe Majele Sibanda, chair of global food security research network CGIAR, on adapting agriculture for climate and food security. --- Global agriculture changed dramatically during the 20th century as small, traditional farms were replaced by large-scale, monoculture farming in many parts of the world. This shift led to a dramatic increase in food production, helping to feed a global population that today exceeds 8 billion. Yet the revolution in agriculture has created a new set of challenges. Modern farming is more resource-intensive than ever, requiring substantial investments in machinery and a heavy reliance on chemical inputs like synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. These shifts have introduced new economic risks for farmers, who can struggle to keep up with rising input costs and volatile markets. Meanwhile, the widespread cultivation of bulk cash crops has often come at the expense of soil health, crop diversity, and the nutritional quality of the food we grow and consume. On the podcast, Dr. Lindiwe Majele Sibanda—professor of agriculture at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, cattle farmer in Zimbabwe, and board chair of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR)—discusses current efforts to make agriculture more resilient and sustainable. These include the revival of traditional crops, regenerative soil management techniques, and innovations aimed at reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Sibanda also examines how such practices can support environmental and climate goals while improving farmer livelihoods and strengthening long-term food security. Lindiwe Majele Sibanda is board chair of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR).
