Amy MacIver is joined by EWN Parliamentary Correspondent Lindsay Dentlinger to unpack Water and Sanitation Minister Pemmy Majodina’s recent claim that South Africa is not facing a bulk water crisis — but rather a supply and governance problem. Lindsay explains what came out of the Minister’s first appearance before Parliament’s SCOPA, including shocking stats on municipal underperformance, ballooning water board debt, and the limits of national intervention. Together, they explore whether this signals real reform — or more rhetoric. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist.

In this week’s Parliament: Week in Review with Tara Roos, she and Lester Kiewit unpack the big stories shaping the legislative agenda. Topping headlines is the Finance Minister’s unexpected withdrawal of the proposed VAT increase – a decision that offers temporary relief to consumers but raises pressing questions about timing, process, and the R75 billion hole now left in the fiscus. As Parliament scrambles to pass new legislation to lock in the VAT rate and revise government spending, all eyes are on whether the law will catch up to the politics in time. Meanwhile, SCOPA turns up the heat on the State Information Technology Agency, exposing deep governance failures and operational breakdowns that threaten national security and basic service delivery. And in a surprise twist from the floor, a provocative question from the EFF challenges the President on asylum policy and historical justice, asking whether South Africa should offer refugee status to African American farmers – a query met with legal restraint and political silence. Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit is a podcast of the CapeTalk breakfast show. This programme is your authentic Cape Town wake-up call.

Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA) plays a critical role in parliament by overseeing the financial management of all departments and state institutions which have been riddled by corruption and lack of accountability. As we conclude the water month ,we reflect on the Oversight work of SCOPA in the Eastern Cape relating to water Infrastructure and supply to the communities.

It has often been argued that tackling corruption could have a positive effect on South Africa's economy and the country's ability to deliver basic and essential services to citizens. If the state could tackle some of the current costs of corruption, this could have substantial positive effects not only for citizens' socioeconomic rights but will also relieve the endless pressure on Treasury to seek alternative sources of revenue as with the current budget's controversial proposal of a 1 % VAT increase over two years. What makes this proposal unpalatable for some in the blatant corruption so often reported like the recent arrest of three SASSA officials allegedly linked to fraud of more than 260 million rands through ghost SASSA cards. This came hot in the heels of the arrest of six individuals were arrested for their involvement in a fraudulent procurement scheme at Kusile Power Station. An investigation revealed that in 2018, a pump was unlawfully procured for R857,977,00, despite an identical pump with the same serial number having been purchased in 2015 for only R18,835,00 leading to a direct financial loss for Eskom. These two recent cases are just a microcosm of the endemic corruption that has permeated our society leading to an erosion of the country's ability to deliver services. In our Sunday Morning Discussion we are looking at the cost of corruption on service delivery and Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Kaizer Kganyago, Spokesperson of the Special Investigating Unit - SIU -, an organisation tasked with investigating serious allegations of corruption, malpractice, and maladministration related to state institutions, assets, and public money, with the goal of recovering financial losses and ensuring accountability and Songezo Zibi, the chairperson of Parliament's Standing Committee On Public Accounts - SCOPA - which oversees the financial statements of all government departments and state institutions

Lester Kiewit speaks to Songezo Zibi, leader of Rise Mzansi and chair of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts about we should not be distracted by fears of a VAT increase and lose sight of other critical aspects of the Budget to be presented on Wednesday by the Finance Minister.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rise Mzansi leader and SCOPA chairperson in parliament, Songezo Zibi tells Peter Bruce in this first edition of the Podcasts from the Edge of 2025 that with the turn of Donald Trump to the White House and the removal of constraints from social media platforms like X (Twitter) and, now Facebook, he fears for where South Africans might go to look for the truth. Right now, he says, the truth can be whatever you're able to make other people believe. A young democracy like South Africa, he warns, is vulnerable. "We need to make the truth more interesting,” he says. “We need to get the truth into the ring. What does bloodlust on behalf of the truth look like?"

The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has told the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA) about massive corruption and maladministration at the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa.

Ray White speaks to newly appointed Scopa Chairperson and Leader of Rise Mzansi, Songezo Zibi on being elected chair of parliament's watchdog Standing Committee on Public Accounts, tackling corruption and not getting support from other political parties in him being in his new role.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wayne Duvenage | CEO at the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse Rise Mzansi leader Songezo Zibi has been elected chair of parliament's watchdog Standing Committee on Public Accounts, continuing the tradition of giving the post to an opposition politician. It was previously held by the Inkatha Freedom Party's Mkhuleko Hlengwa, who now serves as deputy minister of transport in the government of national unity. Rise Mzansi did not get any positions in the executive in return for joining the broad coalition and it was widely expected that the party, which won two seats in the National Assembly, would instead get to lead a key committee in the legislature. In a statement, Rise Mzansi said Scopa “can best be described as a super oversight committee” since it interrogates how taxpayers' money is spent. “Scopa now has a new leader who will work with and for the people of South Africa to ensure that money is spent and accounted for in the pursuit of building a safe, prosperous, equal and united South Africa,” it added. The Democratic Alliance will chair five of parliament's 30 portfolio committees.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bobbie Scopa has had quite a long and storied fire career—she recently retired after 45 years working in both wildland and municipal fire, during which she worked her way into the Chief position and into numerous leadership positions over her career with the Forest Service. Notably, she was present on the Dude Fire in 1990, where six firefighters were tragically killed, and even served at Ground Zero after 9/11.But Bobbie's story doesn't start and end with firefighting. She's also a trans woman, and has experienced the fire world as both a man and woman, having transitioned to female between fire seasons in the late 1980s. This gives Bobbie an exceedingly rare perspective on gender dynamics on the fireline—perspectives that she now shares widely through her podcast, Bobbie on Fire, as well as her new book, Both Sides of the Fireline, which is available for pre-order and will be released this fall. Through it all, Bobbie maintains an incredible ability to tell stories that serve not only as valuable lessons learned, but often as funny and relatable anecdotes for anyone who has worked in fire—and especially for those who are underrepresented in the fire space. To hear more of Bobbie's stories, check out her podcast and website. To pre-order Bobbie's book, find it on Barnes and Noble  or through our host's favorite local bookstore, Village Books in Fairhaven, WA. For more information on our newest sponsor, #ForestProud, check out their website. To support Life with Fire, check out our Patreon. 

Plan and simple she is a bad ass!! Best known for her roles on such Food Network hits as Guy's Grocery Games, Tournament of Champions and Cutthroat Kitchen, as well as Bravo's Top Chef and Top Chef All-Stars, Antonia Lofaso is one of America's most beloved chefs. She is currently the Executive Chef and Owner of Black Market Liquor Bar (Studio City, California) and Scopa Italian Roots (Venice, California) and DAMA (Downtown Los Angeles, California).Lofaso apprenticed under culinary legends and absorbed their sophisticated techniques, but she was not afraid to take extraordinary risks to honor her instincts. She rose quickly through the ranks at Wolfgang Puck's Spago, and went on to transform several high-profile kitchens of Los Angeles.In 2011, Lofaso partnered with Sal Aurora and Mario Guddemi to debut Black Market Liquor Bar in Studio City. In Black Market and the business partnerships she formed, Lofaso found a home. This collaboration would foster the creative freedom Lofaso longed for. Black Market is not constrained by one definitive direction and that is the intention. A course might begin with dill potato chips and shishito peppers, followed by a lobster roll, Korean wings, and a succession of meatballs. What anchors this bold array of flavors, is Antonia.Inspired by her Italian-American heritage, Lofaso opened Scopa – Italian Roots in 2013 to rave reviews. Lofaso's interpretation of “old-school Italian” is hailed as one of the most compelling restaurants for Italian cooking in Los Angeles. Patrons describe Scopa as an essential neighborhood staple where Lofaso consistently serves food that is inviting, authentic, and undeniably satiating.Lofaso opened DAMA in July 2018 – a Latin inspired restaurant and cocktail bar with her interpretation of dishes she's explored during her travels throughout many Latin-American cities. Through her diverse menu, she has allowed guests to escape on vacation for a few hours through her whipped beans topped with crispy pork, corn drenched with cilantro aioli and crema, whole snapper with vibrant escabeche vegetables and her Pacific Banana Co. Sundae, an homage to the building's history.Lofaso insists that the drive behind all her accomplishments comes from the heart of the kitchen, and it is through this vein that she continues to have a firm finger on the pulse. She is revolutionizing her industry's aesthetic by creating concepts that she sees opportunity to improve and positively change including Antonia Lofaso Catering and Chefletics where she is redesigning classic chef wear into active wear for chefs that include style, fit and function, including her patent pending technology, ChefDry™.
