Forty years ago, Shenzhen was a small southern Chinese fishing village, just across the border from Hong Kong. Today, it's one of the world's most advanced megacities, with a population of nearly 20 million people and home to many of the tech industry's largest companies, including Huawei, Tencent, DJI, and Transsion, among countless others. That remarkable transformation within a single lifetime offers important lessons for Kenya, Vietnam, and other developing countries seeking to build their own technology hubs. Grace Yuehan Wang, a visiting scholar at the London School of Economics and a research fellow at Stellenbosch University in Cape Town, joins Eric to discuss her new book, which explores how Shenzhen was able to develop so quickly and what lessons its remarkable rise offers countries across the Global South seeking to build their own technology hubs.

Grade repetition remains one of the most debated issues in South African education. While it is often viewed as a sign that a learner or the education system has failed, new research from the 2030 Reading Panel advisory note suggests the conversation is more nuanced. The advisory note finds that learners who narrowly missed the promotion threshold in Grade 1 or Grade 4 achieved meaningful academic gains after repeating a grade compared with similar learners who progressed. At the same time, the research cautions against increasing repetition rates, highlighting the need to balance the benefits for individual learners with the financial, systemic and personal costs, while considering earlier interventions that prevent learners from falling behind. To unpack this further Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Ros Clayton, Researcher and PhD candidate at Research on Socio-economic Policy at Stellenbosch University

In this episode, we are exploring innovative research methodologies in genetics, including narrative and visual methods, conversation analysis and body mapping. Our guests highlight using these methods to drive inclusive and diverse research as well as providing a more nuanced understanding of the lived experiences of families.    Segment 1: Defining joy after a genetic diagnosis: A narrative inquiry   Guest Bio: UNC Greensboro Genetic Counseling Program graduate Jordan Miller earned a masters degree in genetic counseling in 2025 and currently works as a prenatal and cancer genetic counselor at Prisma Health in Columbia, South Carolina. In addition to clinical practice, Jordan serves as part of the faculty for the University of South Carolina Genetic Counseling program, where she is passionate about supporting and mentoring future genetic counselors.   Following a personal experience of finding joy after a devastating family diagnosis, Jordan developed a deep passion for exploring how joy, hope, and humanity can remain central to patient care. Her work and advocacy focus on fostering meaningful conversations about compassionate care and the ways healthcare professionals can help patients and families find moments of connection and resilience during difficult experiences.   In this segment we discuss: - The use of qualitative narrative inquiry and in-person observations, rather than standard surveys, to capture the visceral, underreported experience of joy following a family genetic diagnosis. - The "FERN" grounded framework (Focusing on the present, Embracing life, Redefining joy, and Normalizing the journey) and how its core themes emerged from family narratives. - How healthcare providers and communities can foster joy and humanize care by interacting with pediatric patients as individuals rather than focusing solely on their diagnosis. - Balancing grief and joy in healthcare conversations without pushing toxic positivity, highlighting how small daily moments of joy help families hold onto hope.   Segment 2: Expanding the methodological repertoire: Integrating multimodal approaches in genetic counseling research   Guest Bios: Ms Malebo Malope is a clinical genetic counsellor and currently employed at Stellenbosch University as a lecturer. She coordinates the teaching activities for the Clinical Genetics and Genetic Counselling Unit and leads short courses within the unit. Additionally, Malebo provides clinical genetic counselling at Tygerberg Hospital and participates in clinical training.  Ms Malope has a special interest in decision-making on termination of pregnancy for foetal abnormalities, accessible genetic counselling services and diversity and inclusion within the field of genetics and genomics.   Dr Megan Scott is a South African clinical genetic counsellor and health communication researcher based in Johannesburg. She holds a PhD in Health Communication and works in independent clinical practice, supporting individuals and families across a wide range of genetic indications, including prenatal, paediatric, oncology, ophthalmology and psychiatric genetics. She is actively involved in the South African medical genetics community, including student supervision and training and has previously served on the Genetic Counsellors South Africa (GCSA) committee. Dr Scott is also a Research Associate at the Health Communication Research Unit (HCRU) at the University of the Witwatersrand. Her research focuses on improving healthcare practice across interdisciplinary fields, qualitative research methods, risk and uncertainty discussions, family communication and patient-centred care. She has presented at local and international conferences, published in the fields of genetic counselling and health communication and regularly reviews for academic journals. She also serves as a supervisor, reviewer and examiner for postgraduate students in genetic counselling, public health, psychology and clinical medicine.   Dr Lorraine Cowley is a clinical academic with a background in oncology nursing and currently serves as Principal Genetic Counsellor at the Northern Genetics Service, Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. She is also an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Newcastle University. With over 25 years of experience in patient perspectives research, Lorraine has led, co-led, supervised and contributed to numerous national and international studies, with a particular focus on improving patient-centred approaches in genetic and rare disease services. She is currently funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the National Institute for Health and Social Care Research (NIHR) through a Clinical Academic Research Partnership (CARP) Fellowship. Her current work involves collaboration across Latin America and the UK to evaluate the delivery and impact of whole exome sequencing for individuals with rare muscle disorders, aiming to improve equitable access to genomic diagnostics in rare disease care.   In this segment we discuss: - How visual methods like photographic elicitation and social mapping challenge traditional biological pedigrees, revealing diverse family dynamics, gendered support roles, and moral tensions around genetic testing. - The therapeutic and harm-reduction benefits of body mapping in complex pregnancy cases, allowing patients to express embodied emotional experiences beyond verbal language. - Applying conversation analysis to real-time clinical consultations to observe non-verbal cues and explore the complex tension between counselor neutrality and institutional expectations. - The potential of multimodal methodologies to capture culturally specific kinship structures globally and their application as reflective tools in genetic counseling supervision and training.   Would you like to nominate a JoGC article to be featured in the show?

Most commercial kitchens have no clear picture of what they are throwing away, when, or why.In this episode of HappyPorch Radio, Barry O'Kane speaks with Anastasia Dellis, CEO of Orbisk, a platform that uses AI and computer vision to make food waste visible in commercial kitchens. The Orbi monitor sits above a waste bin, captures every item discarded, recognises over 800 ingredients, and feeds it all into a dashboard that tells chefs, GMs, CFOs, and sustainability teams what is happening and what to change first.Anastasia's path to Orbisk runs through two decades of scaling businesses, from Africa's largest retailer to Gorillas, one of Europe's fastest-growing startups in quick commerce. She describes recognising the intersection of her professional experience with a personal connection to food scarcity she grew up with in South Africa.What comes through most clearly is her conviction that kitchen technology only works at scale if it demands nothing of the people using it. No training, no buttons, no extra steps. That principle, which Orbisk calls "No Pause Dispose," is not an afterthought; it is the product.✨ In this episode:Anastasia explains how the Orbi monitor works: above the bin computer vision that captures every discard automatically, with no interaction from kitchen staffHow different stakeholders use the same data differently: a CFO sees margin gains, a chef sees ingredient-level waste patterns, and a sustainability team sees carbon metrics pulled into their auditing environmentAnastasia's path from growing up in her father's shop in South Africa to corporate retail to scaling Gorillas across nine markets, and how she found purpose alignment at OrbiskWhy mission alignment matters for the team and investors, even when customers buy purely on the business caseHow Orbisk's AI culinary assistant goes beyond dashboards to offer production, recipe, and training changes tailored to a hotel brand's standardsThe longer-term vision: moving from waste monitoring into forecasting and purchasing to become the intelligence layer inside every kitchen

Today marks two years since the executive members of South Africa's Government of National Unity took the oath of office at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, in a ceremony presided over by former Chief Justice Raymond Zondo. The GNU was formed after the 2024 general elections, when no political party secured an outright majority, ushering in a new era of coalition governance. Political analysts say the GNU has delivered mixed results, but remains one of the most significant shifts in South Africa's democratic history. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Professor Zwelinzima Ndevu Director of the School of Public Leadership at Stellenbosch University.

In this episode, we invite authors from the Centre for Sustainability Transitions, Stellenbosch university and collaborators from McGill university to discuss their article “Radical Incrementalism in Action Through Institutional Work: Case Studies of Embedded Research in South Africa”. As part of our special Eco-Justice and Climate Action series, the authors explore the complexities of navigating changemaking from within institutions. Listen in to discover secrets to radical change through slow and steady processes!In this episode, our co-hosts Joe and Blane introduce the team and the article at the center of today's discussion. They begin by grounding listeners in the broader context of South Africa for those who may be less familiar with its history and contemporary dynamics [2:20], before moving into the deeper motivations and relationships behind their collaboration and the development of the concept of radical incrementalism [4:15]. What does this term mean, and how is it done? Our own curiosity increased as we continued our conversation.– What gave rise to this feeling that they needed another way to think about how to pursue change? Some critical scholars might challenge the idea that incrementalism can actually be radical, perhaps the idea represents an abandonment of the drastic and immediate “change we need” concept? So, we ask the authors to respond to this critique [5:15]. The episode then explores how radical incrementalism is actually done, and the messiness and complexity behind this way of working, including questions of embeddedness, role conflicts, ethical dilemmas, and the importance of political literacy [26:27]. Finally, the conversation closes with reflections on how these ideas are shaping daily practice, and what kinds of changes the guests have observed as a result [37:40].

On this week's "Good Things with Brent Lindeque", we sit down with Dr Adriana Marais… and it's a conversation that stretches far beyond borders, beyond limits and even beyond Earth itself. Adriana is one of the most fascinating humans I have ever met. We first crossed paths years ago when we shared a stage together, chatting backstage before our keynotes. I went on first and then watched as she took to the stage… she left me completely in awe. A woman. A South African. A human… who was willing (and selected) to leave Earth for Mars. Forever. So much has changed since that moment. The Mars One Project may have come to an end but Adriana's plans didn't. If anything, she expanded her vision, taking everything she had learned and building something even bigger, something deeply rooted in African innovation and possibility. With a background in theoretical physics and research that explores quantum effects in biology and the origins of life in space, Adriana has spent her career asking the questions most of us don't even know how to begin to think about. Today, she is a researcher at Stellenbosch University and the National Institute for Theoretical and Computational Sciences, an expert at Singularity University and the founder of Proudly Human… a venture focused on preparing humanity for life beyond our planet. She is also helping lead something extraordinary. As Director at the Foundation for Space Development Africa and Head of Science for the Africa2Moon project, Adriana is part of the team driving Africa's first mission to the Moon, set to land on the lunar surface in 2029. Read that again… Africa, on the Moon. And as if that wasn't enough, 2025 saw her book Out of this World and into the Next published globally, alongside major recognition including the Forbes Woman Africa Award for Academic Excellence and the Women in Tech Award for Most Disruptive Woman in Tech in Paris. Our conversation is about her belief in possibility. Not just for herself but for all of us. For Africa. For the next generation of thinkers, dreamers and explorers who will take what feels impossible today and turn it into tomorrow's reality.

Unser heutiger Gast ist Unternehmer, Hochschuldozent, Investor und jemand, der sich seit vielen Jahren mit der Frage beschäftigt, wie aus Ideen funktionierende Geschäftsmodelle werden. Er hat Volkswirtschaftslehre studiert, einen MBA an der Stellenbosch University gemacht und war später für ein High Impact Leadership Programm in Berkeley. Früh hat er begonnen, an der Schnittstelle von Strategie, Innovation und Unternehmertum zu arbeiten. Über viele Jahre war er in internationalen Beratungs- und Entwicklungsrollen tätig, unter anderem bei Tata Interactive Systems, wo er globale Projekte verantwortete und mit Führungsteams und Organisationen an neuen Geschäftsmodellen arbeitete. In dieser Zeit hat er mit über 100 Unternehmen gearbeitet und tausende Führungskräfte weltweit begleitet. Parallel dazu ist er seit vielen Jahren als Dozent und Adjunct Professor an verschiedenen Hochschulen aktiv, von der TUM über Reutlingen bis hin zu internationalen Programmen in Finnland, Österreich und der Schweiz. Sein Fokus liegt dabei auf Innovation, Entrepreneurship und der Frage, wie Organisationen sich in einer sich ständig verändernden Welt neu aufstellen können. Heute ist er Co-Founder und Managing Director von nunc, einem Unternehmen, das sich einer scheinbar einfachen, aber ziemlich anspruchsvollen Frage widmet: Wie bekommt man besseren Kaffee dorthin, wo die meisten ihn trinken – nach Hause? Außerdem ist er als Investor aktiv und begleitet weiterhin Unternehmen beim Aufbau neuer Geschäftsfelder. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in mehr als 500 Episoden mit fast 700 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie verändert hat und was sich noch verändern muss. Warum ist es so schwierig, ein Produkt neu zu denken, das es vermeintlich schon hundertfach gibt und worauf kommt es dabei wirklich an? Was macht aus einer gute Idee ein nachhaltig erfolgreiches Geschäftsmodell? Und was können wir von einem Produkt wie Kaffee darüber lernen, wie Innovation im Kleinen beginnt – und im Großen wirkt? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work, heute mit Dominik Maier. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern

Many of our listeners know that apologetics is the defense of the Christian faith, but did you know there are multiple ways to do it? Different conversations call for different approaches. How do you engage an atheist who doesn't believe God exists? Must you first establish God's existence before talking about Jesus? And what about the biases we all bring into these discussions? Can the Church itself still serve as a compelling testimony to the truth of Christianity? In this episode, Timothy Paul Jones walks us through five key apologetic methods—classical, evidential, presuppositional, cultural, and ecclesial—and explains how to apply them wisely and winsomely in real-life conversations. Timothy is a professor of Christian apologetics at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and pastor at Sojourn Community Church. He is the author of award-winning books including Church as It Is in Heaven, How We Got the Bible, and Christian History Made Easy.

This episode is brought to you by the BISA Environment and Climate Politics Working Group. African Climate Futures (Oxford UP, 2025) shows how climate-changed futures are imagined in Africa and by Africans, and how these future visions shape political debates and struggles in the present. Scientific climate scenarios forecast bleak futures, with increased droughts, floods, lethal heatwaves, sea level rises, declining crop yields, and greater exposure to vector-borne diseases. Yet, African climate futures could also encompass energy transitions and socio-economic revolutions, transformed political agency and human subjectivities, and radically reparative more-than-human climate politics. At the heart of the book is an original and interdisciplinary approach. It studies official climate policy strategies and fictional texts side-by-side, as ecopolitical imaginaries that envision low-carbon, climate-changed futures, and narrate pathways from 'here' to 'there'. It discusses net zero strategies from Ethiopia, The Gambia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zimbabwe and draws on postcolonial, feminist, and queer theory, arguing that Africanfuturist climate fiction can inspire more radical, reparative, more-than-human ecopolitical imaginaries. These stories can help us to understand the debts we all owe, imagine what reparations might entail, and explore the contours of living convivially alongside more-than-human others in heterotopian, climate-changed futures. Stories can help explore how we might feel in climate-changed futures and can help us to narrate a path through them. This book uses Africanfuturist climate fiction to inspire new ways of challenging and enriching theoretical debates in global climate change politics, including how we understand the places, temporalities, ecologies, and politics of climate futures. If we want to survive to tell new stories in liveable futures then we need to urgently and radically transform carboniferous capitalism. Carl Death joined the University of Manchester in August 2013 as a Senior Lecturer in International Political Economy, after four years in the Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University, and a year in the School of Law and Government, Dublin City University. He has conducted research in South Africa, Tanzania and the USA, and has held visiting researcher positions at The MacMillan Centre for International and Area Studies and the Agrarian Studies Program at Yale University; the Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research (WISER) at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg; Stellenbosch University; and the Centre for Civil Society (CCS) at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban. Pauline Heinrichs is a Lecturer in War Studies (Climate and Energy) at King's College London. Her research focuses climate and energy security. Pauline has worked with and led international teams in conflict and post-conflict countries such as Ukraine and the Baltic States, leading on qualitative methods and strategic narrative analysis. Pauline has also been a climate diplomacy professional working in foreign policy, and an international climate think tank. Learn more about your ad choices.
