DHL Western Province will be playing host to the Vodacom Blue Bulls this Sunday at DHL Cape Town stadium, with a 3pm kickoff.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why do we do this podcast?  We do it to stop the big issues slipping into the shadows. We talk about listener questions as that's what's important to them, and always try to bring it back to the natural world in some way. We have the conversations that need having. It's not the usual ambience in this episode, as we are back out in Stuart's courtyard garden again. So expect some interesting background sounds. Shreenika, Western Province, Sri Lanka is the listener tasked with asking the first question.  “How often does ego permeate human consciousness on an individual basis and how damaging is it?” Your co-hosts Stuart and William feel ego is like that one song that gets stuck in your head—permanently permeating human consciousness. But if it's left uncontrolled, it's like an annoying earworm that just won't quit! Removing ego would be like stripping a pizza of its toppings—you're left with a bland nothing. Ego's a good tool, but a terrible master. It's like having a pet tiger: assertive when needed, but you better know when to back off!” Ego's always there, lurking in the shadows. Like that neighbour who insists on borrowing your lawnmower every weekend.” So, let's treat ego like a Swiss Army knife—useful, but not the boss. Be aware of its role, wield it wisely, and don't let it take over the show! Yusuf, Kocaeli, Turkey asks the second listener question  “Are we overly obsessed with what day of the week it is, or is that another example of how we categorise things. This time, time itself?” William believes we're overly obsessed with what day of the week it is. He particularly likes the saying “it does feel like a Monday today”, yet,  what is a Monday actually meant to feel like? Stuart has worked a lot on his own over the years, and he always mixed up his working week schedule as he didn't want to feel that he was on a treadmill. When he had staff, he found they struggled with that unpredictability. Stuart feels we are obsessed with categorising. This can be damaging. This can be a barrier to quick adaptation. William feels that the week comes from the structure of schooling, and on the topic of working hours, there are times we are extremely productive, and times we aren't, but we still need to sit at our desk till our allotted time is done. For what conceivable reason would any employer or employee want to engage in such an activity when looking at the bigger picture? What do you make of this discussion?

Hopefully this podcast will stretch your thinking. Teddy, a listener from Norwich, England, sent your co-hosts Stuart and William a question to discuss - “For man to leave earth and colonise space, it's felt we need to lengthen our own lifespans somewhat, or become immortal, due to the time needed to cover the vast distances. Will we be doing that travel through avatars, or biological robots that we direct remotely through neurological pathways? If we do that will that mean we as the pilots still aren't immortal, but the vessel is? Can anything last forever though?” William highlights the challenges posed by the speed of light, emphasising the significant delay in data transmission. Even Mars, our neighbouring planet, presents difficulties due to vast distances and our current understanding of physics. Interstellar travel remains beyond our reach, and human bodies are ill-suited for space conditions. William also doubts that extraterrestrial species have visited Earth, given the immense interstellar gaps. Stuart counters by pointing out our energy limitations on Earth. Prolonged human lifespans introduce medical complexities, making long-distance space travel problematic. He advocates addressing terrestrial issues before venturing into space, as we already leave debris and prioritise mineral extraction. Stuart questions the motivation behind exploring new worlds, considering the inevitable breakdown of robots sent into space. In summary, the conversation revolves around the feasibility of interstellar travel, our planetary responsibilities, and the purpose of space exploration.  Shreenika, from Western Province, Sri Lanka offers up the second question for discussion - “Never set a question for this podcast before. Thanks for the opportunity. How precarious is human existence?”  Stuart acknowledges the fleeting nature of human existence and asserts that some form of survival will persist regardless of future events. He proposes investigating the origin of the word “precarious.” William emphasises our ability to control certain aspects, such as wars, while acknowledging uncontrollable threats like meteorite impacts. He raises concerns about the possibility of another pandemic due to increased human proximity. William suggests that recognizing life's precariousness should prompt us to appreciate moments and cherish connections with others. In essence, the conversation revolves around existential uncertainty, human agency, and the value of embracing the present.  What do you make of this discussion?

In many countries around the world where governing leaders claim to guarantee freedom of religion, Christians continue to be persecuted, harassed and arrested for their faith. Such is the case in Sri Lanka, where Jerome Fernando, a well-known pastor in the Western Province, was recently arrested for comparing Christianity to other religions. Although the constitution of this island nation provides all citizens freedom of thought, conscience and religion, Pastor Jerome's arrest is just one example of the many religious freedom violations being committed against followers of Christ in this Buddhist-majority country. In this episode of the Closer to the Fire podcast, host Greg Musselman discusses Pastor Jerome's case with Roshini Wickremesinhe, who serves as the Executive Director of the Religious Liberty Partnership in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Roshini, who also happens to be a lawyer, explains why this incident is so troubling in a country where Christians are commonly persecuted. During their conversation, Roshini also addresses the situation facing believers in India and describes how the country's oppressive anti-conversion laws have led to the arrests of hundreds of believers.

There was once a kerfuffle about whether to name a grandstand at Newlands after Kallis. In their infinite wisdom the Western Province Cricket Association board decided not to, which is a little like failing to name a spacesuit after Neil Armstrong, or an auditorium after Louie. The cricket-loving public of the Western Cape have long since got used to such japes by the Western Province board. They just shrug their shoulders and walk away. Donate to The Luke Alfred Show on Patreon.Get full written episodes of the show a day early on Substack.Check out The Luke Alfred Show on YouTube and Facebook.

"After colonialism, religion depicted that we "Africans" lived in a satanic manner," argues Florence Monde. Mwauluka, a woman of 85 years old, founded the Limulunga la Makuwa craft women's club in the Mongu district of Zambia's Western Province. In today's episode, Mwaluka recalls her childhood before colonialism and the introduction of Christianity to her Lozi people, who have resided in the Barotse floodplains for over four centuries. The Lozi used water and herbs from their natural environment for medicinal purposes. The community cleared canals that connected their respective homesteads. The areas adjacent to the canals were also used for agriculture. "They did so because they believed it was their duty to the environment, as well as to maintain peace with their neighbours and ward off pests and diseases," Mwaluka explains. The Barotse floodplains have deteriorated, according to her, because the community was discouraged from conserving their environment without monetary compensation following Zambia's independence. In what other ways have religion, colonialism, and modern education influenced the conservation of the Barotse floodplains?

Meet Florence Monde. Mwauluka is an 85-year-old woman popularly known here as Auntie Flo. She is the founder of the Limulunga la Makuwa craft women's club in Mongu district, Western Province, Zambia. Here, 10 women join up to weave mats, mattresses, hats, and baskets, as well as mould pots used as cooking pots, refrigerators, and water purifiers. These products are made from natural materials such as roots, grass, reeds, soil, and water obtained from the Barotse floodplains, which these women have dedicated their lives to protecting. They integrate these natural resources with plastics to craft bags, mattresses, pots, shopping bags, hats, and mats, among others. But Baita Chilemu, working with Auntie Flo, says having few women in leadership among the Barotse people and a lack of markets is a huge setback in their conservation efforts. The Barotse floodplain is a vast land area classified as a Ramsar site, with over 300 bird species and over 130 documented fish species. When flooded, it can reach over 550 000 hectares, acting as a sponge that slowly releases water to the nearby regions that receive low rainfall. But because of climate change, the Barotse loses about 1,500 mm of water annually from evaporation, which reduces the amount of water flowing in the lower Zambezi River system

In this episode, Madeline chats with Fr. Dennis Klein, OP, a Dominican friar of the Western Province and a professor of theology at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Berkley, California. During the course of their conversation, they discuss the influence of the great Dominicans saints, his time at the Naval Academy, his time as a nuclear engineer on submarines with the Navy, his research in radiation hardening of RAM chips, being a later vocation, his itinerant life before joining the Dominicans, the influence of his sister who's a Missionary of Charity, his discernment journey, his Catholic upbringing and coming back to the faith, an influential Naval Academy philosophy professor, the importance of young adult groups, meeting Mother Theresa, asceticism in the East and West, accessing the sacraments when deployed/on ship and general sub life, religiosity on subs, contemplation and his prayer life, integration of prayer into your life, some of his favorite saints, and much more!During the course of their conversation, they make reference to episode 19 of this podcast.Feel free to like, subscribe, and share the episode!

Shaun and Thala review the weekend's European Champions Cup semi-finals and Leinster and La Rochelle's dominating wins. Starting with Leinster v Toulouse, we discuss the similarities of Leinster's approach to Ireland's for their victory over France in the Six Nations, Ugo Mola's bizarre call to shift Dupont to the midfield and Rodrigue Neti's yellow card (and Josh van der Flier's dive). Jack Conan, Dan Sheehan and Jamison Gibson-Park are singled out for praise for their roles in the victories. Moving to La Rochelle's 7-try victory over Exeter, we discuss whether Raymond Rhule is the most underrated South African player right now, his connection with Antoine Hastoy and the star performances from Gregory Alldritt and Ulupano Seuteni. We look forward to an epic rematch of last year's Champions Cup final. We also preview the URC quarterfinals coming up. We ask whether the Bulls can break their losing streak against the Stormers if a near-full strength Bulls team cannot beat a 2nd string Western Province team in the Currie Cup. We ask what chances the Sharks have against Leinster without Eben Etzebeth and Siya Kolisi (very little) and we predict some extra time shenanigans in the Glasgow v Munster game. Shaun provides us with an update in our Coach Fight bracket, with Johan Ackerman and John Mitchell getting surprising wins.

My conversation today is about how Africa can tap into the growing Halal tourism market. Fayrouz Holiday October a Halal Tourism expert dives deep into the $160 billion industry and how it is reshaping the sector globally.

A very good morning to you, I greet you in Jesus' precious name - it is Tuesday morning, 23rd August 2022, and this is your friend Angus Buchan with a thought for today. If we go to the Book of Acts in the New Testament:“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”“Come over to Macedonia and help us.”Acts 16:9Just before that, a few verses before, they were categorically told by the Holy Spirit not to preach in the region of Asia but Paul had a vision in the night of a man pleading with them to come over to Macedonia and help them. You will see it in verse 10 - the Bible tells us and immediately (I love that) they prepared to go. Now, that happened to us, in 2018 in the month of March, we had a clear call to hold a prayer meeting in Cape Town for rain. Not just to Cape Town but we were told to go directly to Mitchell's Plain, one of the poorest, most violent areas in our nation.God identified a young man of peace, a social worker and a man of God, Ashley. Not a man of great influence, he wasn't the Governor of the provence, he wasn't a multimillionaire but he was a young man and he was working with drug addicts, alcoholics, prostitutes and broken people - and he was our Macedonia man. We went to a city that was literally dying of thirst and by raw, undiluted faith in Jesus Christ, He performed a great miracle, one that I personally will never forget. We spoke to one of the largest crowds in the history of the Western Province. We saw people kneeling in the sand dunes, amongst the shanty towns - We saw revival. We saw, with our naked eyes, the Glory of God manifest. Out of the poverty, pain and the shame, we saw the flower of Cape Town emerge. And then in the middle of the meeting, what happened? Yes, it started to rain! Oh folks, do what God tells you to do.A lady wrote us a letter a few months ago, another 'Macedonian'. That lady said in her letter, three times: “Please, please, please, come to Krugersdorp and help us because they have called this town of ours, 'Devilsdorp'.” What a terrible, terrible name! There is so much pain, so much spiritual poverty, so much hunger. Well, I want to tell you, we are going there on the 24th September and we are going to change that name from Devilsdorp to Jesusdorp forever!Come, please and help us, help us to see revival that will start in that place and who knows? It might be the match that will change the future of our beloved nation.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

This week I speak with Luzuko, a 20 year old wheelchair bound young man who is passionate about eliminating the stigma attached to people with disabilities. Luzuko has a rare condition, congenital myopathy, which causes his muscles to weaken, resulting in limited movement and respiratory problems. Luzuko is a RxRadio reporter as well as a Western Province player for the physical disabled sports. During this episode we speak about what it is like being physically limited. Luzuko reflects on his childhood and his high school years. He points out that it was in high school when he really started to feel like he was different. He speaks about the biggest challenges he faces, and points out that it is difficult to have a social life. He also highlights how he often feels uncomfortable going into public spaces with his wheel chair as people unintentionally stare. This only serves to remind him of the fact that he is different. Luzuko is always trying to rise up and break the stigma attached to people like him. He has been doing this through producing music and being involved in RX radio. Furthermore, Luzuko chats to us about mental health, cyberbullying and shares his antidote that stops him feeling sorry for himself. This is an interesting and an inspiring conversation that should not be missed. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coachedsuccess/message

Tonight's special guest is Bob Marzullo from Shoreline, Washington, one of 12 siblings. When Bob was a young teenager, he began to be a victim of abuse by his older brother, three years older. "He fits the image of the classic sexual abuser" Bob says. "After me, he went after a younger brother (who is gay) and our youngest sister. I went into seminary in Oakland, CA, with the Dominican Order of the Western Province and was ordained a Catholic priest in 1978." It took years of therapy, but finally found a great therapist who had been a former nun. "She had a background in counseling working with individuals like myself who had been abused," he explained. The two worked hard on the issue. "I made the decision to confront the abuser, my older brother. We decided to 'role play' it at our session before, and SHE NAILED what eventually happened." Bob made the decision to tell the members of his Catholic religious community where he lived, too. "I decided to write out what I felt and PRESENT IT to my older brother." He also told his whole family, which is where he found out he wasn't the ONLY family member he'd abused. Finally he met with his brother and had him read the manuscript he'd written. "I saw his eyes EXPLODE when he read that I called him A RAPIST!" Bob continues, "In the years since, I preached about it, counseled individuals who have come to me who were struggling with it and I could hear them have a sigh of relief because they felt 'he understands what I'm feeling'." He writes, "I have found that others felt relief knowing they were not alone in their pain." He goes on, "I make sure to thank them for trusting me, because I found out to take that first step in the path towards healing isn't easy." .  .

Join me this week in sunny Australia where I talk to Dr Andy Lewis, CEO and founder of the Coral Sea Foundation. Andy has a PhD in coral reef ecology from James Cook University and, along with his extensive experience in small ship adventure cruising, he has become one of the most skilled and widely traveled ecotourism professionals in the Indo-Pacific region. He managed the ecotourism activities aboard the luxury vessel True North for over a decade, exploring a wide variety of tropical locations, from the Rowley Shoals to the Kimberley in Australia; Komodo, Raja Ampat, and West Papua in Indonesia; the Bismarck Sea and Louisiade Archipelago in PNG, and the Western Province of Solomon Islands. Andy's passion for the reefs, islands and people of the South-Pacific is what inspired the birth of the Coral Sea Foundation. The aim of which is to be a platform for delivering a vision for sustainable reef management and the ultimate marine ecotourism experience. As part of this, Andy was able to setup the amazing Sea Women of Melanesia program which empowers indigenous women in the region, through scuba diving and marine science skills, so they can take an active role in creating and monitoring marine protected areas on their own coral reefs and inspire their island communities to protect and sustainably conserve this resource for generations to come.

As a rugby player he was tougher than complex quantum physics and more courageous than a wounded lion. He captained the Springboks 18 times and played 39 Tests at a time when Bok rugby was in a deep state of flux and going through coaches as quickly as Cheslin Kolbe goes through defenses. The enduring image of Corne Krige is one of a bloodied and bruised, but never cowed, player. He played every game as if it were his last – sometimes, by his own admission, stepping over the line whether in Western Province, Stormers or Springbok colours. Since retirement he has carved out a successful business career and stays fit on his mountain bike. Corne also keeps a close eye on rugby from the outside and is still passionate about WP and the Springboks. On the Maverick Sports Podcast he talks about the past, present and future of South African rugby and typically, pulls no punches.

He has run a successful publishing company, has a Masters degree in creative writing, a law degree, an MBA and has written two novels. But that's just one piece of John Dobson's story. In another part of his life he coached UCT to the Varsity Cup title, won a Vodacom Cup and Currie Cup as head coach of Western Province and guided WP's U-21s to two national titles. He had playing stints in Italy and Portugal and is currently head coach of the Stormers in Super Rugby. His mother still asks when he is going to get a ‘real job', but Dobson is a self-confessed ‘rugby romantic' whose deep passion for the game was moulded by a family steeped in rugby. He sees coaching as not only teaching young players how to become better at their jobs and to win matches and titles, but also how to become better human beings.

Robbie Fleck played 31 Tests for the Springboks as an accomplished outside centre between 1999-2002 and he was also head coach of the Stormers for four seasons between 2016-2019. He was thrust into the Super Rugby coaching job when current England mentor Eddie Jones vacated the Stormers post after only 10 days, leaving Fleck to pick up the pieces. In today's episode Fleck talks about the difficulties and challenges of that situation and how Western Province's financial problems impacted on the team. He regales us with tales of the ‘Men in Black', the talented 1999 Stormers team that came so close to winning Super Rugby and gives piercing insights into his 20 years in the game as a professional player, and coach.

Gary Gold has extensive coaching experience, heading up teams such as the London Irish, Western Province, Bath, the Sharks, and the Worcester Warriors. From 2008-2011, Gary was the assistant coach for the Springboks and is now the head coach of the USA Eagles as they prepare for the Rugby World Cup. Twitter: @GaryGoldrugbyiq
