For decades, motorists traveling near the town of Uniondale have reported picking up a young woman standing alone beside the highway—only to discover she has vanished from their vehicle without explanation. Behind the famous ghost story lies the tragedy of a real woman whose final journey may still be repeating itself along a lonely stretch of road. Generations of South African children have warned one another never to enter a school bathroom alone, because something called Pinky Pinky may be waiting inside. No one agrees on exactly what the creature looks like—but they all agree it's terrifying. Two families experience a variety of spooky moments in a cabin in the mountains only to have their suspicions confirmed. Two fan tales are connected, kind of. A story that was sent in before is told again because another fan who does not know the original story teller, has answers. Or so it may seem.

On this week's More To The Story, host Al Letson talks with Slobodian about how the world's richest person has reimagined the relationship between business and government, his unique brand of futurism, and how Musk's early life in apartheid South Africa ultimately shaped his worldview.Producers: Joni Binder and Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonRead: Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed (Harper)Read: Elon Musk's Reward for Calling for a Race War?

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Jenna Free is a counselor who specializes in ADHD, and she doesn't teach it from a textbook, she lives it, having been diagnosed herself at 32. Her work zeroes in on the piece she says the field keeps missing: dysregulation. Through her ADHD regulation groups and her training for mental health professionals, she teaches a method built around regulating the nervous system, thoughts, and behaviors, and she's put it all into her bestselling book The Simple Guide to ADHD Regulation, a Toronto Star and Globe and Mail bestseller. The core idea here reframes almost everything men think they know about ADHD. Jenna argues that most of what gets labeled ADHD is actually an ADHD brain stuck in chronic fight or flight, and that it's fixable. She and Larry get into what's happening in the brain during dysregulation, the four survival responses, why potential keeps you stuck, and how simply refusing to fight with reality can change your whole day. If you or your kids have ever felt like putting on socks is a full body assignment, this one explains why. Timeline Summary [1:58] – Getting diagnosed at 32 and finally making sense to herself [3:28] – Four careers by 35, from marketing to modeling in South Africa to teaching [9:14] – Two kids under a year and a half apart and max fight or flight [9:57] – Your mess becomes your message [10:16] – The full bio: the ADHD regulation method and a bestselling book [13:16] – What's actually happening in an ADHD brain stuck in fight or flight [14:43] – Why the fight or flight symptom list looks almost identical to the ADHD one [15:49] – The socks story and how different life feels once you're regulated [18:58] – Fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, and how each one shows up [20:39] – Why your body can't tell a to-do list from a bear [22:01] – Which survival response dominates, and whether gender or age matters [24:41] – Why this work is hard for kids and lands better with bought-in adults [25:28] – Hyperactive, inattentive, and combination types across the lifespan [26:28] – Where regulation actually starts, and why buy-in comes first [27:43] – Putting on your dysregulation goggles to see symptoms differently [29:26] – Giving yourself permission to regulate when survival mode resists it [32:44] – Physical regulation first: slowing down to signal safety to the body [35:14] – Potential versus reality and the shoulds that pull you back into panic [36:50] – The spilled box of gems and dropping the fight with reality in five seconds [38:27] – Larry's disputed parking charge and staying calm while everyone else panicked [43:12] – Do people with ADHD have less energy, or is it pouring onto the floor? [45:13] – Why Jenna's calming tone regulates her own body in real time [48:14] – How fawning and people pleasing trace back to the amygdala 5 Key Takeaways It's Often Fight or Flight, Not Just ADHD — Many of the symptoms people write off as permanent ADHD traits, the overwhelm, paralysis, and procrastination, are actually a nervous system stuck in survival mode. That part is treatable. Your Body Can't Tell a To-Do List From a Bear — Under chronic stress, blood flow leaves the prefrontal cortex so you can fight or run, which is exactly why you can't think clearly when you sit down to work. Buy-In Comes Before Any Technique — Regulation work is uncomfortable because your system thinks its old patterns are keeping you alive. You have to genuinely want the change to push through the resistance. Start by Physically Slowing Down — Walking instead of rushing, dropping your shoulders, and typing at a reasonable pace all signal safety to the body. Small shifts over time retrain the nervous system far better than fast, intense change. Stop Fighting With Reality — Shoulds, what-ifs, and "this shshouldn't have happened" throw you straight back into panic. Naming what is real and asking "now what" is one of the fastest ways to calm the system down.

If Jenna's reframing of dysregulation gave you a new way to understand your own brain or your kid's, put one piece of it to work. Catch yourself the next time you're rushing and physically slow down, and notice how quickly your body follows. If the show keeps delivering, follow, rate, and leave a review so more fathers can find these conversations. This episode discusses ADHD, disordered eating, and mental health. If any of it resonates personally, consider reaching out to a licensed professional who can offer support tailored to you.
Ron'el Barak has had quite the journey from South Africa to the southern Hevron Hills. The landmark Cafe Ron'el has never been just about the incredible food and now she's taking those experiences even further. She tell Eve Harow that we often believe that healing will come when the world around us changes—when the war ends, when people understand us, when circumstances become kinder. But the Nafshi method teaches something different. Healing begins when something within us changes. The outer world may remain uncertain, yet the inner world can become a place of peace, clarity, and freedom."

Protests against undocumented migrants have been going on for months in South Africa. We've talked about them on the podcast before - people are protesting against illegal immigrants, and some of the marches have turned violent and deadly. Houses have been burned down, shops looted, and countries like Ghana and Nigeria have even evacuated some of their citizens from the country. But these protests aren't just affecting politics and South Africa's relationships with other countries on the continent. They're also impacting sports and pop culture.Now, Tyla, the South African pop star, has taken Nigeria off her world tour dates. She hasn't given a reason, but thousands of Nigerians had signed a petition urging her to stay away.So that's what we're getting into today with Makuochi Okafor, our West Africa Reporter.

If you've opened X, switched on the TV or listened to the news over the past few weeks, chances are you've heard about the Madlanga Commission. Today we are giving you a 101 update for those of you who know ZERO about it...The commission was established by President Cyril Ramaphosa after explosive allegations by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, who claimed there had been political interference, corruption and criminal infiltration within South Africa's police, intelligence and justice systems. The inquiry, chaired by retired Constitutional Court Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, is now tasked with getting to the bottom of those claims. Let's start with One of the biggest questions that's come up is: Why was the Political Killings Task Team shut down? One of Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi's biggest claims is that the Political Killings Task Team was shut down because it was getting too close to exposing powerful criminal syndicates and the people allegedly protecting them. He told the commission the unit was delivering results not failing and believes its disestablishment was meant to derail sensitive investigations. That's now one of the key issues the commission is trying to determine. Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

Two prosecution bosses down, and counting. The Madlanga Commission has just claimed its second casualty, and a leaked recording shows exactly how bad it got. Meanwhile fresh polling suggests the ANC is about to lose over 500 council seats, Interpol has crowned South Africa the ransomware capital of the continent, and the FSCA has landed a R2.8 billion fine on the company behind those Elon Musk deepfake ads, the same scam BizNews first exposed. On the markets side, Nedbank, Telkom and Stor-Age all moved today, Lewis Group looks like a Buffett-style bargain hiding in plain sight, and Amazon just delivered one of the biggest single day gains in its history. Andy Jassy explains, in his own words, exactly why.
Today's BizNews Daybreak examines Japan's US-coordinated currency intervention, OPEC+ production increases, and energy lobby opposition to US biofuels legislation. South Africa's corruption commission delivers unprecedented accountability, while Donald Trump pauses planned Iran strikes pending rapid talks. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 opens at 7,489 and SpaceX prepares for a high-stakes earnings call this Wednesday. Finally, FIFA President Gianni Infantino faces severe UEFA backlash following a collapsed World Cup investment deal.
Welcome back to the history of South Africa podcast with me your host, Des Latham. This is episode 286 - Johannesburg is proclaimed but the flow of water and cash provs challenging. We'll start however, with the Orange Free State. Its president Johannes Brand was certainly carved from an original chunk of Boer marble — even the British empire recognized his magnificence, at least, Queen Victoria, who was knighted him. Brand was one of the main movers behind the first attempt at uniting the Boer Republics of the Transvaal and Orange Free State but the open hostility by Paul Kruger and the Burghers of the Transvaal scuttled his plans. President Brand had been voted into office in 1872 and for the next 20 years, the Free State was characterised by relative tranquility and modest prosperity. After Britain formally annexed Basutoland and Griqualand West, the Free State experienced a few ructions, but there was little friction between the Afrikaaners and their English compatriots. Brand was steadfast in his belief that the Republics should remain neutral when it came to Great Britain, while Paul Kruger's Transvaal was openly hostile to London. The Free State leader was a warded the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George by Queen Victoria in 1882, turning Brand into Sir Johannes Brand. That rankled the still more. Kruger wanted utter independence, whereas Brand was willing to negotiate based on what was best for the Free State. A deeply religious man, Johannes Brand was extremely popular with the burghers of the Orange Free State, and his expression "alles zal recht komen als elkeen zijn plicht doet" (all will be well if everyone does his duty) is one of the most recognisable sayings of his presidency. Nor were there serious difficulties with black Free Staters, mainly because in the Free State, blacks had no rights and couldn't own land and avoided the territory. It wasn't like the Cape, where jobs abounded. In 1885, there were about an equal number of blacks and whites living in the Free State, with the independent Basutoland on the eastern border and territory around Thaba ‘Nchu prosperous under Basutho chief, Moroka the second. The Total population of the Free State in 1885 was 140 000 — smaller than most counties in England, which is amazing because the Free State was almost exactly the same size as the whole of England. Free State is 129 825 square kilometers, England is 130 279 square kilos. The Free State also lay directly between the Cape, which England controlled, and the Transvaal, which it thought of as a suzereignty. The reason for all this preamble is that railways were coming to South Africa, albeit slowly. In 1885, there were only 1 318 miles of track in operation and 1 213 of those were in the Cape, 115 miles in Natal. By contrast, 5 133 miles of track had been laid in Australia, and even New Zealand had longer lines - 1 486 miles. The new gold fields of the Witwatersrand were going to need railway lines urgently. By the end of July 1886 a crowd of 600 diggers had rushed to the district and had camped on two main farms, Turftontein and Doornfontein. Unlike the early rush to Kimberley, in this case there were no black diggers because of the discriminatory legislation prohibiting blacks from owning claims in the Transvaal. The South African Republic had passed a law in 1885 explicitly excluding blacks from buying or working their own claims or even dealing in precious stones and metals. They were practicing their race-based legislating for a much more refined version which would pop up in the 20th Century. But there was another reason which haunts Johannesburg to this day — there was very little water particularly during winter. Millions of litres were required to wash the ore and sieve the gold, no water, no mining. Providing water was going to cost a fortune, something beyond the cash flow of small operators.
Soldiers and Bushmen: The Australian Army in South Africa, 1899–1902 (Cambridge UP, 2025) by Dr. Thomas Richardson examines the commitment to what was expected to be a short war. It presents a thematic, analytical history of the birth of the Australian Army in South Africa, while exploring the Army's evolution from colonial units into a consolidated federal force. Soldiers and Bushmen investigates the establishment of the 'bushmen experiment' – the belief that the unique qualities of rural Australians would solve tactical problems on the veldt. This, in turn, influenced ideals around leadership, loyalty and traditional combat that fed the mythology of the Australians as natural soldiers. The book also examines the conduct of the war itself: how the Army adapted to the challenges of a battlefield transformed by technology, and the moral questions posed by the transition to fighting a counterinsurgency campaign. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Africa's video gaming industry is booming. The sector generated more than $1 billion in revenue in 2024, with mobile gaming making up around 90% of the market, according to KPMG. Although the industry has long been dominated by men, more women are entering the space, building careers as content creators, professional gamers and esports competitors. But breaking into the industry isn't always easy. Many female gamers continue to face abuse and harassment online. So what is it like to be a woman in Africa's gaming community? And why are more young Africans choosing gaming as a full-time career?Focus on Africa's Nkechi Ogbonna speaks to 30-year-old Techna from South Africa, who left her job to become a full-time gamer, and 25-year-old Saphra from Kenya about the opportunities, challenges and future of gaming on the continent.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Fana Negash, Carolyne Jotham, Bella Twine and Brian Khisa Senior Producers: Keikantse Shumba and Priya Sippy Technical Producer: Davis Mwasaru Editors: Rhoda Odhiambo and Maryam Abdalla
On this special World Ranger Day edition of the podcast, Gabby sits down with conservation activist and Saving the Wild founder Jamie Joseph for one of the most powerful conversations we have had.While rangers continue to risk their lives protecting South Africa's wildlife, Jamie reveals why the biggest battle is not always fought in the bush, but in the courtroom. Together, they unpack why so many rhino poachers never see prison, how corruption is undermining conservation, and why specialised wildlife courts and stronger legislation could change everything.Jamie also shares more about Saving the Wild's campaign for meaningful legal reform, the powerful short film Rhino: The Endgame, the role of public advocacy, and the Hollywood feature film inspired by her work that is currently in development with Margot Robbie's production company.This is a conversation about courage, justice, hope and the power of ordinary people to help create real change for wildlife and for the people risking everything to protect it.Links related to the podcastWebsite: https://www.savingthewild.com/jamie-joseph/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saving_the_wild?igsh=MWRvd3EwbHJneWl2Rhino endgame: https://youtu.be/0Nmk7-VeAUE?si=PqC-2-MvGJT0aRsqPetition: https://c.org/k4V7nVR9frThe power in us project: https://www.riverinerecords.com/thepowerinusprojectAnderson Rocio: https://www.andersonrocio.com/powerinus
In Episode 311 of the FNO: InsureTech Podcast, hosts Lee Boyd and David Prejeant sit down with Wayne Slavin, CEO and Co-founder of Sure, for a conversation that spans embedded insurance, AI, digital distribution, and the future of insurance innovation. What begins with a story about turbulence on a flight quickly evolves into a fascinating discussion about how insurance can become a seamless part of everyday consumer experiences. Founded in 2015, Sure has built an AI-enabled platform that helps some of the world's largest carriers and consumer brands launch and operate fully digital insurance programs. Today, companies like Toyota, Zillow, and Mastercard leverage the platform to integrate insurance directly into their customer experiences. Wayne shares his journey from Silicon Valley product development and e-commerce innovation into insurance, explaining how his early experience building consumer technology shaped his belief that insurance should be as easy to access as any other digital transaction. The conversation also explores Wayne's long-standing interest in AI, dating back more than 16 years, his perspective on where AI creates the most value in insurance, and why the industry's biggest challenge may not be technology at all, but change management. Whether you're interested in embedded insurance, digital transformation, AI, or simply hearing the founder story behind one of InsureTech's most recognized platforms, this episode delivers valuable insights and bold predictions about where the industry is headed next. Key Highlights [06:00] Meet Wayne Slavin and Sure Wayne introduces Sure and explains how the company helps carriers and consumer brands launch fully digital insurance programs through a single end-to-end platform. [08:00] The Visa of Insurance Wayne explains Sure's role as a technology platform, connecting carriers, brands, and consumers without acting as the insurer itself. [10:00] Why Insurance Needs an End-to-End Ecosystem A discussion on the fragmented nature of insurance technology and why Sure chose to build a unified platform rather than another point solution. [12:00] The Turbulent Flight That Started It All Wayne shares the origin story behind Sure and how a turbulent flight sparked the idea of making insurance available at the exact moment consumers need it. [17:00] Making Insurance Invisible Why Wayne believes insurance should become a natural part of other consumer transactions rather than a separate buying experience. [18:00] Embedded Insurance and the Next Distribution Frontier How brands can integrate insurance directly into customer journeys and why Sure focuses on meeting consumers where they already are. [20:00] AI Before It Was Cool Wayne reflects on researching human-in-the-loop AI at Columbia more than 16 years ago and why today's AI revolution is a moment he has anticipated for years. [22:00] Where AI Delivers Real Value A practical discussion on why AI is creating the biggest gains in speed to market, customer service, claims support, and operational efficiency. [24:00] Going Live in Days, Not Months How Sure is leveraging AI and automation to dramatically reduce implementation timelines and operational complexity. [26:00] Learning the Insurance Business Wayne shares how curiosity, study, and starting with simple insurance products helped him navigate an industry he originally knew nothing about.

The US military says American forces hit dozens of targets across Iran in a two-hour wave of strikes after Iranian missile attacks on US forces in Jordan were intercepted. Iranian state media reported that the islands of Qeshm and Abadan, both central to the oil industry, were among the areas hit. Jordan and Kuwait have come under further attack from Iran in retaliation. Also: More than thirty people are known to have died in Japan's earthquake. An object that violated Polish airspace overnight was 'most likely' a Russian missile, according to the Polish Prime Minister.

Bridging Two Worlds: An American Immigrant's Story of Faith, Anxiety, and Political Calling Today, we are sharing a conversation between Curtis Chang and Lee C. Camp on the Signal Award-winning and 2026 Ambie Award-nominated podcast No Small Endeavor. Hosted by award-winning teacher and Professor of Theology and Ethics Lee C. Camp, No Small Endeavor explores what it means to live a good life through conversations about culture, ideas, and the habits that help people flourish. In this episode, you'll hear from Curtis Chang as he reflects on his experience as a Chinese American immigrant, former pastor, and public theologian, and argues that anxiety sits at the root of America's political crisis. Chang explains how anxiety is rooted in a fear of future loss, and offers actionable ways to name, face, and move through that anxiety with compassion rather than avoidance. You'll also hear Chang and Camp dig into how institutions are made up of people rather than systems, why that means they're capable of being healed rather than torn down, and why refocusing on the how of politics rather than just the what is essential to moving beyond our current moment of division.

In this episode of the Behind the Knife Global Surgery Series, we take a closer look at the real-world complexity of global surgery partnerships between high-income institutions and partners in the Global South. Words like equity, bidirectionality, partnership, and decolonization are used often in global surgery—but what do they actually mean when funding, mobility, research access, publication opportunities, and institutional power are unequally distributed?Host Mike Mallah is joined by Dr. Hugo Stark from George Hospital in South Africa and Dr. Sydney Bertram from Emory for a candid discussion about the benefits and tensions of collaborations in an unequal world. Together, they explore how global surgery partnerships can create meaningful educational and clinical value, how good intentions can still reproduce unequal systems, and how surgeons can build partnerships that are locally useful, honest about power, and ultimately centered on better surgical care for patients.Hosts/Guests:- Mike M.

For centuries, the southern tip of Africa was a crossroads where oceans, empires, and peoples collided. European settlers arrived seeking supplies and profit, but their foothold eventually expanded into conquest, migration, warfare, and a struggle for control between rival colonial powers. The consequences reshaped the region's borders, economy, and society, leaving divisions that would endure long after colonial rule ended.

Watch this full episode on YouTube to see video of the leopard charges, good/bad shots on leopard, etc. https://youtu.be/t8a3DOHP3nQ Dave Fulson from Safari Classics TV joins me in this episode to discuss leopard hunting. He shares his thoughts on why he thinks leopard hunting is uniquely demanding compared to any other animal in Africa: the endless waiting, the mental grind, the constant second-guessing, and the incredible emotional payoff when everything finally comes together. We also cover baiting versus hound hunting, why so many hunters miss what should be an easy shot, the realities of following up wounded leopards, and some intense stories of charges and close calls.
