Robbie is joined by South African outfitter and Helix Program member Ruan of Inkulu Adventures to discuss his 21 years in the hunting industry and the meaning behind building his own safari operation from the conservation standpoint, to the community impact, and beyond. Ruan breaks down the significant costs involved in managing rhinos (security, insurance, fencing, feed, and anti-poaching measures) and explains why regulated rhino hunting provides critical revenue that incentivizes private landowners to maintain and protect rhino populations.

Nearly three decades after corporal punishment was banned in South African schools, many educators say they are still searching for effective alternatives to maintain discipline and create productive learning environments. Speaking to John Maytham, University of Cape Town lecturer Lynn Chambers and student teacher Ndikhokele "DK" Mgcineni discussed their recent Daily Maverick opinion piece, arguing that while corporal punishment was rightly abolished, insufficient attention has been paid to equipping teachers with the practical tools, training and support needed to replace it.

We're up to the early 1880s where world events are intersecting in various ways with southern African events. The mere ratification of the Pretoria Convention in 1881 failed to bring peace and prosperity to South Africa. The frenzied speculation in diamond shares reached it's height in 1881, and war expenditure had swelled the tide of fictitious prosperity which had flowed from Table Bay to Lydenburg. Now the troops and the glory departed, Natal after the pomp and ceremony of the Wolseley period, drifted into a political backwater — and yet clamoured for responsible government and an augmented imperial garrison. In the Cape, the overcapitalised diamond companies began to topple, and banks shortened credit and in 1882, the crash came. John Scanlen the Cape Prime Minister succumbed to what some called retrenchment mania and laid off judges amongst other members of the bureaucracy. Times were bad, and growing worse, with Phylloxera visiting the Western Cape vineyards, drought had smote the land and red-water fever the cattle. It was old testament level pestilence and suffering, at least if you read the journals of the time. Did I mention the outbreak of smallpox as well? How remiss. It scoured Cape Town first, this pestilence, from whence it followed the railway and wagon route to the diamond fields of Kimberley, and from there into the Orange Free State and Basotholand. Plagues of locusts chewed through what was left. For anyone who would return to an earlier epoch in South African history, believing these were golden years, perhaps the reality I've just outlined would make you recalibrate your Time Machine. SJ Du Toit launched his pro-Afrikaans campaign by the early 1880s, railing against die Engelse and the elites in the Cape who were determined to keep speaking high Dutch instead of this new form which was disparagingly called Kitchen Dutch. Emerging at this messy moment to influence South Africa forever was a lawyer who eventually became known as Lord De Villiers. It's difficult to understand this these days — in the 1880s South Africa was still a mishmash of rebels, settlers, African chiefdoms, Khoesan raiders, dirt tracker miners and trekboers, wild Baltic and Nordic merchants, American and Australian frontiersmen. Every geographical locale was represented by a different language so folks like De Villiers who obsessed over federal ideas were outliers. Self-government meant they leaned towards the Union Jack, the English, for defence, but not the Union Jack as a cloak for interference in the internal affairs of the Cape. The quarrels divided the Anglican community particularly in Natal into adherents of the Church of England, and the Church of the Province of South Africa. The two main questions were these: Must Anglican Bishops in South Africa be appointed by Letters consecrated by the Archbishop of Centebury, and secondly, was the Church in South Africa bound by acts of an Imperial Parliament in England far far away or mainly independent? De Villiers was going to decide both questions — and in doing so — would set the scene for a future South African Republic while also setting in stone, some of our concepts in South Africa of the right to practice the religion we prefer.
In today's edition of the NdB Sunday Show with Chris Steyn and Lauren Evanthia, the founder of the Organic Humanity Movement, the hot topic is President Cyril Ramaposa's urgent court bid to try and stop Parliament from conducting his impeachment inquiry. “And now the president is obviously scrambling. He knows what this means. If anything, this is almost an admission of guilt on his part…(and) how is it gonna hurt the ANC during the elections? I think that is probably at the forefront of his mind…if they want to hold on to that 45.6%, they cannot afford to have this massive scandal with the president.” Evanthia also dissects the testimony of Witness I before the Madlanga Commission. “The whole South African government for me appears to be an entire criminal enterprise.” She further looks at the biggest lack of service delivery horror stories, and gives her take on the defection journey of Neville Delport from the African National Congress (ANC) to the Democratic Alliance (DA) and on to the Patriotic Alliance (PA). Lastly, she examines the likely consequences for South Africa should Nigeria carry out its threat of retaliation over South Africa's handling of the migrant crisis.
South Africa cannot discuss illegal employment, economic reform, and social stability without confronting the uncomfortable truth at the centre of it all: millions of young South Africans still have no credible pathway into work. This, according to Thembi Chagonda, Joint CEO of Global Business Solutions and a commissioner on the Employment Equity Commission representing business. She further adds that every June, South Africa honours the courage and contribution of young people. But for a young person sitting at home without work, training, income, or a realistic next step, commemoration is not enough. The Human Sciences Research Council also hosted a youth dialogue this week to examine past and present struggles. It says that although the challenges may differ, today’s youth still face systemic barriers. To unpack this and more, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Thembi Chagonda, Joint CEO of Global Business Solutions and commissioner on the Employment Equity Commission representing business, and Nompendulo Mkhatshwa, Fees Must Fall activist.
This morning we unpack or examine the crisis in South African municipalities. The latest Auditor General report found that there were no clear improvement in audit outcomes, financial management, service delivery performance, accountability, transparency or institutional integrity. Only 151 government entities received unqualified audits out of 417. Professor Joseph Sekhampu, Chief Director of the North West University Business School says hundreds of local councils operate as if the Constitution demanded their existence but not their viability. He says South African municipal landscape is not collapsing in a single moment of crisis. It is eroding in slow motion and that the Auditor General's warnings that only a small fraction of municipalities remain functionally stable no longer sound like outliers, they describe the system. Meanwhile, in April this year President Cyril Ramaphosa called for urgent reforms to unlock local economies, warning that poor governance at municipal level is undermining service delivery and stifling economic growth. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Professor Joseph Sekhampu, chief director of the North West University Business School

Ebola is a frightening and deadly disease, killing on average one half of people infected and spreading rapidly without containment measures. So how do BBC journalists report from the centre of an epidemic? BBC West Africa journalist Emery Makumeno has been reporting from Kinshasa in DR Congo on the Ebola outbreak; Musa Sangarie, Country Director for Sierra Leone for BBC Media Action, led public information campaigns in Sierra Leone in the 2014-16 Ebola epidemic; Camilla Mota, journalist with BBC News Brasil, has reported on the fall-out from the country's Zika virus outbreak in 2015 and 2016; and Mattias Zibell Garcia, producer at BBC Mundo, reported on the recent Hantavirus outbreak in Ushuaia, Argentina. The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services. We're here to help you make sense of the stories making headlines around the world; to excite your curiosity and to get to grips with the facts. Recent episodes have investigated Russia's youth armies and how they make soldiers of Ukrainian children; featured the BBC team who were the first journalists to the site of the Nigerian school kidnappings and reflected the effects of internet blackouts in Iran, Uganda and India. If you want to know more about Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, and the legacy of Hugo Chavez; or how Vladimir Putin's network of deep cover spies operates; or why Donald Trump signed an executive order granting white South Africans asylum in the US, we have all those stories and more.Presented by Faranak Amidi.

In this fascinating episode of Angus Underground, David Brown and Jim McWilliam welcome internationally respected cattle evaluator, consultant, and global livestock ambassador PJ Budler. Originally from South Africa and now based in Texas, PJ shares stories from a career that has taken him to more than 120 countries and judging assignments in over 50 nations. From evaluating cattle on icy parking lots in Kazakhstan to consulting operations across multiple continents, PJ offers a unique perspective on what makes cattle profitable, functional, and adaptable regardless of geography. The conversation quickly moves beyond travel stories and into a thoughtful discussion on cattle breeding philosophy. PJ argues that profitability begins with the cow on the ranch—not at the feedlot, packing plant, or retail counter. He challenges the industry's obsession with chasing maximum growth and extreme EPDs, advocating instead for balance, fertility, functional efficiency, environmental adaptability, and cattle that work within their production environment. Throughout the discussion, David, Jim, and PJ explore the differences between breeding for optimization versus maximization and why consistent, honest breeding programs ultimately build the strongest customer base. The episode concludes with an in-depth conversation about visual appraisal, functional efficiency, tropical adaptation, the influence of the late Jan Bonsma, and the dangers of overcomplicating cattle breeding. PJ emphasizes that successful breeders combine observation, curiosity, and repetition to understand cattle, while warning against treating genomics or any single tool as the only answer. His message is clear: great cattle breeding is still rooted in common sense, balance, and a relentless focus on profitability and function. Key Discussion Points PJ Budler's journey from a South African farm to becoming a globally recognized cattle judge and consultant Judging cattle in more than 50 countries and visiting over 120 countries worldwide The creation of the "Champion of the World" livestock competition Why profitable cow-calf operations start with efficient cows rather than terminal traits Functional efficiency versus chasing extreme genetic measurements The importance of fertility, body condition, and hormonal balance in cattle selection How environmental adaptability should influence breeding decisions Angus cattle and the challenges of heat, humidity, and parasite pressure The role of Bos indicus influence in tropical environments Why consistency and honesty are powerful marketing tools for seedstock producers Lessons from Jan Bonsma and observation-based cattle breeding The dangers of treating genomics as the "only game in town" Sponsor & Ad Mentions Creek Insurance -for more information or quotes visit InsureMyBull.com
C'était le premier match de la Coupe du monde et le premier match d'un pays africain, en l'occurrence l'Afrique du Sud, battue 2 à 0 par le Mexique. À Johannesburg, The Star constate les dégâts : « Le stade Azteca, temple du football, a été un véritable enfer pour les Bafana Bafana ». Et encore… « Le Mexique aurait pu l'emporter avec une marge plus importante, remarque le quotidien sud-africain. Par moment, le pays hôte a manqué d'efficacité, épargnant ainsi aux Bafana Bafana, une entrée en matière plus brutale, dans cette Coupe du monde, après 16 ans d'absence ». Un autre journal sud-africain, The South African, se montre réaliste : « Au niveau de la Coupe du monde, les erreurs élémentaires sont souvent sanctionnées, et les Bafana Bafana en ont commis beaucoup trop. Si le Mexique méritait la victoire, ajoute The South African, les Bafana Bafana seront déçus par la manière dont ils ont subi la défaite. Un jeu trop défensif, des erreurs coûteuses dans la conservation du ballon et un manque d'intention offensive, ont facilité la tâche des Mexicains ». Afrikfoot, de son côté, désigne Yaya Sithole « premier héros malheureux de la Coupe du monde 2026 », car « il a précipité la chute de l'Afrique du Sud dans ce match d'ouverture ». En première mi-temps, il est à l'origine du 1er but mexicain, laissant échapper le ballon près du but, et en 2ème mi-temps, raconte Afrikfoot, « il reçoit un carton rouge pour avoir empêché une occasion manifeste de but ». La déception des supporters ivoiriens La Coupe du monde, c'est du football bien sûr, mais pas seulement. Pour certains supporters africains, la fête est d'ores et déjà gâchée, car l'entrée sur le sol américain représente un véritable défi… Défi qu'il n'est pas toujours possible de relever. Ainsi, en Côte d'Ivoire, l'Infodrome nous apprend « que le Comité National de Soutien aux Eléphants, annonce qu'il ne pourra pas envoyer son contingent de supporters aux États-Unis. Raison invoquée, précise le site d'information ivoirien, l'impossibilité pour de nombreux supporters d'obtenir un visa d'entrée (…) Une situation qui suscite incompréhension et déception au sein du comité ». « Un véritable coup dur pour les supporters, ajoute l'Infodrome, mais aussi pour l'équipe nationale qui devra évoluer sans une partie importante de son soutien habituel dans les tribunes ». Le président du Comité National de Soutien aux Eléphants, Julien Kouadio Adonis, est amer : « L'État américain ne veut pas voir sur son sol les supporters de certains pays, dont la Côte d'Ivoire. Les États-Unis ont été clairs avec nous ». L'Infodrome, lui, espère, que la diaspora ivoirienne au Canada et aux États-Unis « prendra le relais, pour faire entendre la voix des Eléphants, et maintenir l'ambiance qui accompagne traditionnellement la sélection ivoirienne sur les grandes scènes du football mondial ». Solidarité de l'UEFA Lui, avait bien un visa, mais il n'a pas pu entrer sur le territoire américain. C'est l'arbitre somalien Omar Artan. « Agé de 34 ans, il figurait pourtant parmi les arbitres sélectionnés par la Fifa, précise Afrik.com. Son absence fait suite à une décision des autorités américaines, qui lui ont refusé l'entrée sur le territoire à son arrivée à Miami (…) les autorités n'ont pas détaillé les motifs précis de cette décision, mais on sait que la Somalie figure parmi les pays concernés par les restrictions migratoires renforcées ». Il n'empêche, la décision américaine a suscité une vague de protestations. Sur le continent africain, mais pas seulement. Ainsi, pour marquer son soutien à Omar Artan, l'UEFA, l'Union des Associations Européennes de Football, a désigné l'arbitre somalien « pour diriger la Supercoupe d'Europe qui opposera le Paris Saint germain à Aston Villa, le 12 août prochain à Salzbourg, en Autriche » nous explique le Soleil, à Dakar. Le quotidien sénégalais estime « que cette nomination constitue une marque de reconnaissance pour l'officiel somalien, considéré comme l'un des meilleurs arbitres africains de sa génération ».

EPISODE SNAPSHOT Welcome to The Bryan Air Podcast. Career intelligence for pilots. We break down executive moves, economic forces, and the technology reshaping how pilots are trained, assessed, and employed. Boardroom decisions land on your flight deck. We translate them first. No corporate spin. Just the intelligence pilots actually need. SAA just made a move that should put every South African pilot on alert. The airline has applied to have pilots, cabin crew, and key operational staff declared an essential service, and if it lands, your constitutional right to strike goes with it. Because the Labour Relations Act regulates the function and not the company, a ruling in SAA's favour would not stop at SAA. It would reach across the whole industry and bind every airline whose crews do the same job. We break down whether the bid actually has legs, why the legal threshold is narrower than SAA hopes, and what it really signals about the pressure building behind the scenes. In this episode of The Bryan Air Podcast, Bryan Roseveare and Ryan Parrock break down SAA's essential services bid and what it means for pilot strike rights, the launch of Riyadh Air, Qatar and Emirates strategy in a disrupted Middle East, a fake Air Canada captain, and the latest South African Airways aviation news.

Jeannette McGill is a seasoned mountaineer and executive leader who, at 52, became the oldest South African woman to summit Everest in May 2025. With more than 30 years of global climbing experience—including leading expeditions across four continents—she knows deeply that the summit is never just about standing on top. Jeannette's journey is a testament to patience, resilience, and the quiet power of backing yourself, no matter how many setbacks you face. Beyond her personal achievements, she is passionate about demystifying the modern-day myths of Everest and advocates instead for the very real challenges mountain terrains face through climate change globally. Having been there herself, she brings an informed, honest perspective on what is truly happening above 8,000m. Today, Jeannette combines her love for high-altitude adventure with leadership on Boards and helping others explore their own limits. She also supports future generations through leading snow camps in the Victorian Alps and mountaineering scholarships, believing that mountains are powerful teachers of courage and humility. Her story is not just about conquering peaks but about becoming the kind of person who dares to try.

Abel Selaocoe has been redefining the sound of the cello. The South African cellist and singer was in Canada recently, playing with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. He joined Tom Power in the Q studio to talk about blending African and classical sounds, and why he thinks music has the ability to destroy the idea of time.
For more than 80 years, no-one knew what happened to a Soviet prisoner of war who escaped from the Nazis on the Channel Island of Jersey and spent the rest of World War Two hiding from the German occupiers with a local family, the Le Bretons. Known only by his first name, Bokejon, or simply Tom, he was one of about 2,000 Soviet prisoners and forced labourers brought to the island of Jersey to build Nazi fortifications. After liberation, Tom and the other surviving PoWs were sent back to the USSR and the Le Breton family, particularly their daughter Dulcie, always wondered what became of him. That was until BBC teams tracked down his descendants. BBC Russian's Olga Ivshina was one of the journalists who tracked him down. Political violence has been a problem in Kenya for decades now. It is often carried out by gangs of young people, known as 'goons', who are sponsored by politicians to threaten, disrupt and attack rivals. After the general election in 2007 over 1500 people were killed and with another election planned for 2027, there are fears violence could erupt again. Wycliffe Muia of BBC Africa has been looking into these politically sponsored violent gangs and what can be done to stop them. Traditional fortune telling culture, known as Saju, is popular in South Korea and has ancient roots. It uses data such as a person's birth year, month, day and hour to determine their future and in South Korea people still sometimes consult it before important life decisions like marriage, or seeking a new job. Now, the practice of Saju is beginning to be combined with AI technology and it's finding a wide audience both online and as a walk-in, more immersive experience. BBC Korean's Yujin Choi went to try it out.
