Security experts are warning South Africans that cases of kidnappings have skyrocketed by 260% in the country over a decade – including those for ransom.

While kidnapping for ransom reportedly make up only 5% of reported cases, they equate to about two people being kidnapped for ransom per day in the country. Experts say there is no specific profile of victims or kidnappers, adding that the ordinary man in the street is a target for criminals too, thus every member of the public needs to be vigilant at all times.

Earlier, Sakina Kamwendo caught up with Makate and he started by explaining the cost factor against Vodacom.

PwC's South African Economic Outlook 2024 report has outlined major challenges facing businesses in the country. The report has outlined how financial troubles coupled with the growing demands on the state and available fiscal resources have placed pressure on the government. With structural challenges like load-shedding, high levels of unemployment and the scourge of crime , South Africa is seeing short-term crises manifesting in five areas such as macroeconomic volatility, disrupted supply chains, scarcity in resources, challenges to accessing healthcare services and struggling public institutions.

# MoneyMonday| Money is usually considered to be one of the most important aspects of life. However, most of us tend to ignore another very important parameter that adds value to life – “TIME”
How many times have you heard the phrase "time is money?" Or some version of the statement: "time is the most valuable thing in the world?"Have you ever stopped to think about what those statements mean?
- Did you know? The origin of the phrase: Time Is Money is an aphorism that originated in “Advice to a Young Tradesman”, an essay by Benjamin Franklin that appeared in George Fisher’s 1748 book, The American Instructor: or Young Man’s Best Companion, in which Franklin wrote, “Remember that time is money.”

As South Africa grapples with acts of criminality, residents of the Limpopo province have reported a high prevalence of mob justice incidents. This as members of some communities across the province continue to show little or no faith in the country's justice system. According to police statistics, South Africa recorded 588 cases of mob justice between January and March 2023. These include murder, attempted murder, arson and assault. SABC reporter, Baatseba Mabowa has more.
As South Africans enjoy the last few days of the holiday season, power utility, Eskom kicked off the new year with the announcement of the return of stages two and three electricity rolling blackouts. The power utility has cited a number of reasons for the decision including intensified maintenance, the loss of six generating units, as well as three- generating units not returning online as had been anticipated. This comes just days after Eskom announced the synchronisation of a new unit at the Kusile power station. Energy Expert, Chris Yelland says the return of load shedding following an extended period of uninterrupted power supply, is a huge blow for the public. He spoke to Elvis Presslin.
The outcome of the 2024 general election is being touted to hold the same importance as South Africa's first democratic election in 1994. Throughout 2023, speculation ran rife as to whether any party will get an outright majority. An array of surveys predicted a drop of below 50% for the ruling African National Congress. The predictions may provide opposition parties the opportunity to explore new and innovative ways to topple the once unassailable ANC. Zoleka Qodashe has more.
The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs says a total of 39 people have died since October as floods continue to devastate the province.

The year 2023 saw the Life Esidimeni Inquest conclude its hearings into the deaths of 144 mental health patients, with the families of the deceased asking the High Court in Pretoria to find former Gauteng Health MEC, Qedani Mahlangu liable for the deaths of the loved ones. The families blame Mahlangu for the controversial relocation from the Life Esidimeni facilities and its subsequent closure in June 2016. Most patients ended up in ill equipped and unlicensed NGO's across Gauteng. Phanuel Shuma reports.
Democratic Republic of Congo President, Felix Tshisekedi has secured over 70% of the country's recent vote, according to the DRC's election commission. The preliminary results of the December 20 election were announced in Kinshasa amid demands from the opposition and some civil society groups for the vote to be rerun due to massive logistical problems that put the validity of the outcome into question. Opposition candidates claim the problems were part of a deliberate plan to allow the results to be rigged in favor of Tshisekedi. While supporters of Tshisekedi took to the streets yesterday to celebrate the results, opponents demonstrated against them. The elections had over 40% of voter turnout, with around 18 million people voting. Now to get more on this matter we are joined on the line by SABC correspondent, Chris Ocamringa.
WIth the countdown having begun towards next year's national and provincial elections, the Electoral Commission is working hard to ensure a free and fair poll. NPE 2024 - as it has been dubbed by the IEC - will be historic as independent candidates will contest seats in the national assembly as well as provincial legislatures for the first time. Recent Constitutional Court judgements require the Commission to amend its requirments for political party participation and engage in voter education on various aspects of the election including number of ballots and voting stations. Together with political parties the IEC will be seeking to get as many of South Africa's over 26 million eligible voters to register and turn up to the vote in an atmosphere of unprecedented disillusionment.

Search and rescue teams have recovered the remains of 27 people following deadly floods in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. Mop-up operations are continuing in different parts of the province after heavy rains swept through the area, submerging homes, damaging infrastructure and washing away vehicles. Weather conditions are not expected to ease as the South African Weather Service issued a level four alert for thunderstorms and disruptive rain along the province's coast from last night, going into today. The weather service warned that areas including Durban, Port Shepstone, Richards Bay, Amanzimtoti and uMthwalume will experience heavy rainfalls which may lead to localised flooding. For a look at the latest regarding search and rescue operations, Elvis Pressin spoke to IPSS Medical Search and Rescue spokesperson, Samantha Meyrick.

It's almost that time of the year, when many people will be considering making resolutions, as a way of improving their lives in the new year, and setting goals for themselves. Although studies have shown that most people fail to stick to their goals over the long term, some believe, resolutions help people become organised and ignite some passion and determination. As the year draws to an end, some people are looking back at the goals they had set themselves during the past year, in preparation for the new year and new resolutions.

Immigration has been a hot topic in South Africa and will dominate discussions heading into the 2024 general elections. The expectation is that issues of migration and foreign nationals will be major talking points in party campaigns as the country's courts recently meted out severe blows to attempts by the department of Home Affairs to perform a complete overhaul of the migration system. The aim of the White Paper on Citizenship and Immigration and Refugee Protection is a coherent and effective policy framework. Also dominating the headlines was the extension of special permits for Zimbabweans and Basotho working in South Africa and the official launch of the Border Managment Authority to oversee the often porous country borders. SABC senior reporter, Busi Chimombe reports.

| #MoneyMonday| Even in these tough economic times, food waste occurs at many levels from the field to the level of food consumption. On a smaller scale, allowing food to spoil or go uneaten can hurt your budget. It happens in all sorts of ways. Milk that goes sour. A green sprout emerging from an onion. Over-ripe bananas. Dried-out brown sugar. Leftovers that keep getting left. And why do we have three bottles of tomato sauce in the fridge?
Wasted food equals wasted money. How can households reduce food wastage?

It is believed there was a dispute over the learner’s dreadlocks. The video shows the Grade 8 learner being forcefully removed from class for allegedly wearing hair extensions, something the school took issue with due to a new hair policy that was implemented.
- The Education Department in Gauteng revealed that it was assisting the school to comply with its registration policies as the school is not fully registered with the education department.

The remarks came as the 15-member Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) met in Nigeria's Abuja on Thursday for an emergency summit to discuss responses to last month's military takeover in Niger after the coup leaders defied their earlier threat to use force to restore democracy. This comes after the ruling junta ignored an ultimatum, which expired on Sunday, for ousted President Mohamed Bazoum to be reinstated. Sakina

Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, will no longer be present at the BRICS Summit in August. Instead, the Russian Federation will be represented by Sergey Lavrov, its foreign minister. This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa had earlier claimed that detaining Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is sought by the International Criminal Court, would constitute a declaration of war in an answering affidavit to a DA suit in the Johannesburg High Court. According to Ramaphosa, it is his constitutional duty to uphold the republic's peace and national sovereignty. If Putin showed up for the Brics conference, which South Africa will host in August, the DA had petitioned the court to order the government to place him under arrest.

- Judge Brenda Neukircher found that the husband would have unduly benefited if an order for forfeiture of his wife’s pension benefits was not ordered. This was because the husband was an absent father; was financially selfish and that, on a balance of probabilities, assaulted his wife.

#MoneyMonday| Some say one way you can keep control of money is to maintain a separate bank account, one that your partner has no access to . . . and maybe doesn’t even know about.
There are several advantages to keeping this kind of “secret” fund, but there are a few potentially significant pitfalls, as well.
From a legal standpoint, there is nothing wrong with having a secret fund even though you are married. The law certainly does not require that married couples keep joint accounts, or that a spouse gives full disclosure to the other spouse regarding finances – that is until you start divorce proceedings.

First Thing is First | Concerns are constantly being raised over abuse and violence of children as the first term of school kicks off. Some learners, instead of sharing in the back-to-school excitement, are faced with the chilling reality of abuse and violence in our schools. Since the beginning of this year, there have already been a series of reports of abuse of children, including the currently running sex ring case, involving minors - which demonstrates the urgency to tackle all these forms of abuse of children.
- Regular reports of bullying, corporal punishment, assault, grooming, and physical abuse in schools are alarming. Female learners, mainly, are subjected to violence on a massive scale in schools, perpetrated by either male peers or by teachers.
- Abuse takes on many forms. According to crime statistics generated by the South African Police Services (SAPS), 74% of students have reported being hit at school, while 41% have been bullied. Overall, 32% of learners report that they feel unsafe at school.
- The latest Statistics SA research reveals shocking realities concerning the abuse of girls. Between March 2021 and April 2022, 90 037 girls between the ages of 10 and 19 gave birth. Those are children who should be attending school.
- A shocking reality is that over 160 of the sexual misconduct cases reported between 2020 and 2021 were perpetrated by teachers.
- Even more worrying is the fact that more than 65% of primary school-aged children are reported to have used violence themselves in school, according to statistics from the SAPS.
- Currently, Police have launched an investigation into an incident in which a man was gunned down at the Kagiso secondary school, west of Johannesburg.

Do you have any experience with self-harm - has your child been associated with it or do you know someone else who has?
Interview| In an ever-changing world where teenagers and young adolescents are increasingly confronted with new challenges, peer pressure, demanding relationships and the like, the growing phenomenon of self-harm as a means of regulating their emotions comes as no surprise. You little or teen might be self-harming and you might not even know.
Statistical analysis of over 50 empirical studies reporting on the prevalence of Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) in adolescents across the globe, show that 18% of these adolescents engage in NSSI
According to the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG), non-suicidal self-injury is "more common than people realize. It is the only coping skill some people have when they feel emotionally overwhelmed. Frequently mistaken for a suicidal gesture or failed suicide attempt, it is not intended to kill; it keeps people alive in the face of intolerable mental pain or provides time out from stressful situations."

First Thing is First | The national health department has acknowledged South Africa faces a measles outbreak as vaccination drives against the childhood virus are lagging. The uptake of childhood vaccines dipped during the pandemic. Measles, one of the most contagious human viruses, is largely preventable through vaccination.
According to the latest statistics from the health department, the coverage of first vaccination doses was 88.5% in April while the second dose coverage was 84%. Only 85% of children are fully vaccinated, which is 10% lower than the 95% coverage required to prevent outbreaks.
- The World Health Organisation (WHO) has also warned countries to brace for global measles outbreaks due to a steady decline in childhood vaccination during the pandemic.
- WHO reported that in 2021 a record high of nearly 40-million children missed at least one measles vaccine dose. About 25-million children missed their first dose and an additional 14.7-million missed their second dose. The world body warned this decline “is a significant setback in global progress towards achieving and maintaining measles elimination and leaves millions of children susceptible to infection”.

EFF MP Mbuyiseli Ndlozi's prediction that President Cyril Ramaphosa must be the first president whom the new National Assembly Rule 129 must be tested on, has become a reality. Ndlozi made this in November 2018 during the debate on the adoption of the rule by the Assembly. Rule 129 outlines the processes to be followed when a National Assembly Member tables a motion for the removal of a President from office in terms of Section 89 of the Constitution. The rule was developed following successful Constitutional Court challenge by the EFF in December 2017. The EFF was joined by the UDM, COPE and the DA. They wanted the assembly to hold former President Jacob Zuma accountable for violating the constitution in relations to his failure to implement the Public Protector's remedial action into the Nkandla security upgrades. Mercedes Besent looks back at how Ndlozi ended up being kicked out of the chamber by House Chairperson Mmatlala Boroto, for refusing to withdraw his comments that Rule 129 must be tested on Ramaphosa. She sent us this snippet.

The second Presidential Summit on Gender Based Violence and Femicide starts today in Midrand. The summit was in response to the 24 demands submitted by the #TheTotalShutdown Intersectional Women's Movement to President Cyril Ramaphosa following 27 nationwide marches on 1 August 2018. Organisations that are at the frontline of the battle against Gender Based Violence and Femicide, say the first presidential summit that was held in a bid to dent the scourge, has failed to make a difference.

#TheTakeOffInterview | Deciding to introduce children to firearms, when to do it, and how to teach them gun safety is an extremely important decision
For some parents teaching your child to learn to shoot a gun is a great opportunity to help kids be safe during moments they need it. You never want your child to be a victim in a home intrusion or accident that could have been prevented. However, you also do not want your child to be a victim due to a self-inflicted wound or accident. Others believe there's little benefit in allowing any children to handle guns.

The High Court in Johannesburg has declared Dr Mpho Phalatse as the executive mayor of the City of Johannesburg.

Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Phalatse on what her victory means for the city moving forward.
The High Court in Johannesburg has ruled that the removal of former City of Johannesburg Mayor Dr Mpho Phalatse and the subsequent election of current Mayor, Dada Morero was unlawful, unconstitutional and invalid. Phalatse had approached the court arguing that the Programming Committee that met on the 29th of September to decide on the Agenda of the Extraordinary council meeting of the next day where she was ousted - did not form a quorum. She further argued that the decision by the same committee to place the motion of no confidence vote on the agenda was therefore unlawful.

First Thing is First | The father of slain four-year-old Bokgabo Poo has begged her alleged murderer to reveal where the rest of her body parts are. Thirty-year-old Ntokozo Zikhali made an appearance in the Benoni Magistrates Court on two separate matters. He is accused of raping, murdering and tampering with Bokgabo’s corpse. Last week, the four-year-old’s father leapt over court benches in an attempt to grab Zikhali.
The first matter that Ntokozo Zikhali appeared in was regarding the rape of a nine-year-old in which he was previously granted bail. The State made it known that it intends to apply for bail to be revoked in that case. Zikhali then stayed in the dock and appeared before a different magistrate for the rape and murder of Bokgabo. His Legal Aid lawyer told the court that he would not be continuing with the bail application in this case pending the State’s application for revoking bail in the nine-year-old’s rape case. Just as proceedings were wrapping up, Poo’s father, Irvin Ndlovu, shouted from his seat in the courtroom. "Tell me where buried my child. Can you say where the body parts are?" The matter has been postponed to 14 Novmber.

First Thing is First | Today is World Mental Health Day (10 October 2022) , it just as important to have a mental health check-up as a physical health check after a traumatic event.
- One in 7 South Africans will experience a traumatic event in their lifetime, placing them at high risk of developing acute stress disorder which can become a more serious, long-term mental illness if left untreated.
- The country’s high rates of crime, road accidents, and interpersonal violence, as well as highly public violent events such as the July 2021 unrest and looting in KZN and Gauteng, heighten the risk for South Africans of developing acute stress disorder, SA Society of Psychiatrists spokesperson Dr Gagu Matsebula said.
- Acute stress disorder affects up to 20% of people who experience or witness traumatic events such as death, serious injury, or physical or sexual violence, and about half of those will go on to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with a debilitating impact on their work and life opportunities.

First Thing is First | What to do if your phone gets stolen?
If your smartphone gets stolen, the damage may extend further than the loss of the device itself; a thief can cause much more harm with your banking apps, important documents, and personal photos and videos.
- The moment you realize you’re detached from your device, your thoughts will no doubt start racing. Where is it? Will I ever get it back? Will a thief be able to access its contents, including photos, videos, messages, and personal information? Unfortunately, the chances of actually getting a stolen phone back are slim. However, if you take the right steps before and after your phone is stolen, you can increase the chance of recovery and limit the damage.

First Thing is First | Quiet quitting is a term that, very aptly, refers to when an employee does the bare minimum when it comes to their work responsibilities, which can have a potentially negative effect in the workplace..
The trap of quiet quitting, according to Law experts is that it can have a negative impact on your career long-term. Being seen as someone who is disconnected from their work culture, or teammates, doesn’t leave a good impression. However, employers also need to be aware of the signs of bad management which could easily be the cause of an employee shutting down.
Guest: Fezeka Mbatha, Associate in the employment law practice at Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr
- Reasons for this could be that they are not being managed efficiently, so they are either overworked and stressed, or underworked and bored.
- According to a recent report in Harvard Business Review, the findings indicate that quiet quitting is usually less about an employee’s willingness to work harder, and more about a manager’s ability to manage employee workload.

First Thing is First | Controversial advocate Malesela Teffo has been struck off the roll of legal practitioners and ordered to return his certificate of enrolment as legal practitioner to the Registrar of the Court. He had represented some of the accused in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial
- In a scathing judgment on Friday the Pretoria High Court found that Teffo did not adhere to the highest standards expected by the profession and the courts. In essence the court found Teffo lacked the sense of responsibility, honesty, integrity and such attributes that are characteristics of an advocate.
- This severe punishment comes after the Legal Practice Council said it had received 22 complaints about Teffo’s behaviour between 2019 and 2021. What followed was an application filed in the Pretoria High Court asking for his suspension.
What happens when a legal practitioner is struck off the roll? What does this mean exactly? What are his options? Can he still practice? If so, when and how?

The High Court in Pretoria has ruled that Malesela Teffo is no longer an advocate. Teffo - who was representing four the five accused in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial - withdrew from the case in July. The Legal Practice Council brought an application before the court for Teffo to either be suspended or struck from the roll. The council received numerous complaints against Teffo - some pre-dating the Senzo Meyiwa trial. These include contemptuous behaviour in court and misleading the court. Advocate Teffo had accused President Cyril Ramaphosa, the National Prosecuting Authority and the Police Minister Bheki Cele of being behind attempts to end his career. In handing down judgement, this is what the court had to say.
The Senzo Meyiwa murder trial has been postponed to November the 14th. Earlier the defence in the case suggested that the hat found in the house in which the former Bafana Bafana captain was gunned down belonged to the witness, Tumelo Madlala and not the intruder. Madlala was being cross-examined in the High Court in Pretoria where five men stand accused of the murder of Meyiwa. A hat was among the exhibits collected in the Vosloorus home of the mother of Meyiwa's then girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo where alleged intruders killed Meyiwa in 2014. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC reporter Chriselda Lewis
Advocate Makesela Teffo has been struck from the roll of advocates. The Legal Practice Council made an application in early August to have Teffo either suspended or struck from the roll of advocates. The council pointed at a number of complaints pre-dating the Senzo Meyiwa trial was being investigated against Advocate Teffo. It detailed almost two dozen allegations, including disrespectful and contemptuous behaviour in court, misleading the court, assault, and the misappropriation of monies from clients. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC reporter Pearl Magubane.

THE reality of life is that when we loan people money, especially our family and friends, they break their promises when it’s time to pay back the money or they don’t pay at all. Many people often feel bad about asking for their money back when it’s not paid as promised for fear of ruining relationships.

First Thing is First | Does living with your partner in a vat en sit arrangement grant you this same right as married couples? What are the legal considerations, especially after the death of the partner?
Fans of late rapper Riky Rick have been left awe-struck after finding out that he was never officially married to the mother of his children, Bianca Naidoo. This after a report claiming that she was taking legal action in a bid to be appointed as the executor of his estate
Guest: Nthabiseng Dubazana, Director at Dubazana Attorneys
Some Info|
According to a report published by Sunday World, Bianca is facing off against the Joburg Master of the High Court and Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi.
Bianca would like to have both entities recognise her as Riky Rick’s wife and grant her the role of executrix of his estate.
Judging from the motivations Bianca made in legal documents reportedly seen by the publication, the pair lived as a married couple and were so committed to each other that they never felt the need to formalise their union.
Their families chose to forego the lobola process because of the couple’s “modern way of life”.
Bianca- “Furthermore, as already stated above, the deceased and I did intend to eventually marry, however, the deceased unfortunately passed before the solemnisation of our marriage became a reality, albeit we lived our joint lives as a married couple. I have therefore been advised that I do qualify within the category of a partner ‘in a permanent life partnership in which the partners have undertaken reciprocal duties of support’,” she concluded.

First Thing is First | The World Economic Forum’s recent annual meeting in Davos covered a wide range of topics including the Ukraine war, climate change and new technologies. However, one softer issue which drew much debate was the hybrid working and shorter work weeks. Speakers at the conference have spoken for and against hybrid work weeks, with much of the concern focusing on how working from home – or for only four days a week – could impact productivity and workplace dynamics.
- In South Africa, this work trend remains to be seen. However, if there is a possibility of the legislation of four-day workweeks materializing, then employers in certain sectors may need to consider the way they operate.
- Experts from the Employment Law practice at Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr (CDH) believe that remote and hybrid working is a fast-growing trend.
- It allows employees to work from home and attend to the traditional workplace/office intermittently.
- While countries such as Spain, Belgium, as well as Japan and the UAE (United Arab Emirates) have already adopted the four-day work week, the COVID-19 pandemic has reignited these conversations with some employers as they are forced to rethink the importance of workplace flexibility and benefits.

Guest: Chief Mwelo Nonkonyane, Provincial Secretary of Contralesa
First Thing is First | The ANC Women’s League has again proposed chemical castration as a punishment for rapists.
The proposal was made by the league’s delegates at the governing party’s national policy conference in Nasrec to the social transformation sub-committee during commissions at the conference, after the idea was rejected at the ANC’s last policy conference in 2017.
National executive committee member Lindiwe Sisulu, who chaired the commission, told a media briefing on Saturday night that the proposal had been revived by female delegates partially as a response to the series of horrific attacks on women over the days leading to the conference.
Medically…What is chemical castration in simple terms?

First Thing is First | The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy has started the formal process of deregulating the price of petrol in South Africa. On Friday, 22 July, Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe published a gazette requesting public comment on retailers setting their own price for 93-octane petrol.
- While the minister did not provide information regarding when this would be implemented or how the price cap would be calculated, the public was given 30 days to comment on it.
- this change would allow retailers of petrol to discount the fuel they sell how they see fit – this could be with price specials, volume discounts or even fuel bundles.
- Currently, Government sets the petrol price and it is illegal to sell fuel at any other price other than what has been stipulated by Government.
- Fuel retailers believe deregulating the fuel price will not bring prices down but will hurt the already marginal fuel retailers
- Fuel retailers are significant employers in the country, accounting for 83 000 jobs.

- Employees, already hard hit by one blow after another to their take-home salaries, are now, in the midst of a surge in the cost of petrol, facing calls by some employers to return to the office.

- Locally some business are already back in the office - even if only for two or three days a week.
- And who can forget the recent call by Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, to his staff to return to the office or never come back to duty.

#MoneyMonday| According to the Floatpays State of Employee Wellbeing Barometer 2022 , SA workers are highly stressed, leading to R38bn loss in productivity
- The study showed that in South Africa, losses in productivity equated to 128 million days, which accounted for R38 billion, or around 2 percent, of the country’s gross domestic product.
- This research suggested that financial stress was a key detractor from employee wellness. It was also an impairment to cognitive functioning which in turn can lead to a reduction in productivity.

First Thing is First | The Department of Health says it is not yet clear when the fifth wave will hit us.
This is as Covid-19 numbers continue to rise sharply
South Africa’s daily coronavirus test positivity rate neared a record, rising above 30% on Saturday for the first time in almost five months as two sublineages of the omicron variant spread rapidly ahead of the nation’s winter season.
- The possible fifth wave will come just as winter starts and just after the country ended its more than two-year National State of Disaster.
- The positivity rate is taken as an indicator of how fast the disease is spreading through the community as many cases go undetected.
- While the government now no longer has the ability to broadly override the rights of citizens, it has implemented new health legislation that will require proof of vaccination or negative tests for some gatherings and the continued wearing of masks in indoor spaces.
- The levels of vaccine hesitancy, especially among the youth, are highly concerning and we have recently seen Covid-19 outbreaks in some local schools

#TheTakeOffInterview| If your car is damaged by potholes on national or municipal road, you can – in theory – claim from Sanral or the relevant municipality. What are the terms and conditions?
- Damages that occur on national roads such as the N1, N2, N12 and others, should be directed to Sanral, which will pass responsibility to its contractors or road-work companies responsible for the maintenance of that road.
- Municipal roads, on the other hand, have a different claims process. Road users would have to approach or contact the specific municipality or department of public works to find out what is required, and to submit relevant documentation. This process is likely to take some time.
Guest: Madoda Mthembu, SANRAL's Operations and Maintenance Manager in the Northern Region.

#MoneyMonday| Financial freedom is a myth. However, financial confidence is REAL.
What is “financial confidence”? It is the ability to generate income on demand regardless of the economy and regardless of the industry. Money doesn’t make you rich. Skills make you rich.
- The reason is because financial freedom is a myth. Money alone does not guarantee financial security. It’ does not protect you against a bad economy. It does not protect you against bad investments. It does not protect you against ignorance or divorce.
- This is why you must develop financial confidence- it is the only protection against the uncertainties of life.

First Thing is First | The Human Rights Commission is probing the role of ad agencies in the publication of adverts that unfairly impair the dignity of South Africans. The five-day inquiry which started on Monday focuses on the production chain within the advertising sector to look at ways to eliminate racism and other forms of discrimination
- In their submission The Institute for Race Relations (IRR) argues instead of worrying about the small number of racist advertisements, the country should instead concentrate on fighting unemployment, crime and service delivery.
- Meanwhile, The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF)'s Mbuyiseni Ndlozi said that more punitive measures should be implemented to deal with racism in the country.
- According to Advertising Regulatory Board CEO Gail Schimmel.
- Racism in advertising is caused by unconscious bias and tone-deafness.
Guest: Advocate Tseliso Thipanyane, CEO of the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC)
The South African Human Rights Commission is convening an inquiry into racist practices in the advertising industry. In 2020, a Tresemmé shampoo advert depicted blonde women's hair as "normal," and black women's as "frizzy and dull,” while in 2018, H&M apologised for an advertising image featuring a black boy modeling a hoodie with the slogan “coolest monkey in the jungle”. The commission’s Gauteng provincial office leads the inquiry which is sitting in Sandton, Johannesburg. We now speak to Tseliso Thipanyane, CEO of the Human Rights Commission.

The Automobile Association has called on government to review the current Road Accident Fund levy in an attempt to ease the financial burden of consumers as fuel prices hit record highs. This comes after the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy announced that it was considering a number of interventions to address the situation, including the possible introduction of fuel purchase limits. In a presentation to parliament on Tuesday, the department said high fuel prices are a global issue driven by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent rise in oil prices. It says increases of R2/litre should be expected over the coming period, with developing economies such as South Africa likely to see diminished economic growth. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Automobile Association Spokesperson, Layton Beard.

First Thing is First | Right now, the world can’t stop talking about the so-called Tinder Swindler, the smooth-talking conman who used dating apps to meet numerous women, and then ran up huge lines of credit and loans in their names, leaving them with massive debts.
And if you think it couldn’t happen to you, think again. Every day, people either take out loans for other people, or sign guarantorship for someone else’s loans. If, for any reason, there are defaults on the agreement you could be putting your credit record at great risk and this can take several years to recover from.

A group of advocates has come out in support of Advocate Dali Mpofu following a strongly-worded opinion piece, penned by Editor-in-Chief of News 24, Adriaan Basson, saying it is offensive. Basson refers to what he calls Mpofu's 'thuggish behaviour' at the Judicial Service Commission's interviews for a new Chief Justice last week, in particular his questions to Gauteng Judge President Dunstan Mlambo regarding allegations of sexual harassment. The advocates say the article is not only an insult to Mpofu, but also racist towards non-white advocates in the legal fraternity. Basson says he will not be responding to the advocates, saying they are entitled to their views. SAfm's Jon Gericke spoke to Advocate Elizabeth Baloyi-Mere SC

First Thing is First | In a victory judgment for “Please Call Me” (PCM) inventor Nkosana Makate yesterday, the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria found he was shortchanged by Vodacom and that the cellphone giant must go back to the drawing board to come up with a suitable amount.
- The court gave Vodacom’s CEO Shameel Joosub one month in which to recalculate what is owed to Makate, using the guidelines issued by the court.
- Judge Wendy Hughes made it clear that the calculations used by Joosub earlier in offering Makate R47 million, for what the judge called a brilliant invention, was by far too conservative and he is entitled to at least 5% of total voice revenue generated by his invention.
- The North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria also ordered that Makate is entitled to 27% of the revenue generated by the return of calls sent through the Please Call Me platform
- The Please Call Me service, which was launched in February 2001, allowed Vodacom subscribers to send a 'Please Call Me' text message free of charge to another user on the same network. Makate had in previous court hearings stated that the Please Call Me system, which he invented while employed by Vodacom, had earned the company about R70 billion in revenue.
- Makate and Vodacom have been involved in the protracted court battle over payment for the concept since 2008.

First Thing is First | If you knowingly or unknowingly spend money that was mistakenly deposited into your account, have you committed a crime? Is it possible to avoid prosecution if you spend the money knowingly? What would be the valid acceptable reasons for avoiding prosecution ? Walter Sisulu University student Sibongile Mani, who received R14 million into her student account from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (SFAS), has been found guilty of theft by the East London Regional Court.
The former accounting student was accused of theft after spending R818,000 of the money.
- Mani was only entitled to receive R1,400 and had received the money in error.
- The former student activist spent the money on various items including alcohol, cigarettes, electrical appliances, bedding, toys, and gift cards.
- The court dismissed Mani's version that she had no intention to deprive NSFAS of its money and that she had no knowledge of the specification of the loan agreement she had with NSFAS.
- She was only entitled to a R1 400 food allowance and was accused of failing to report when R14 million was instead credited to her erroneously. She chose to embark on a spending spree.
- She is accused of failing to report the error and embarked on a spending spree, blowing more than R800 000 in 73 days.

#MoneyMondays| What’s the difference between a warranty and a guarantee?
As consumers we are spoiled for choice, so how do we know that what we choose is what we get? Often you select a product based on a certain quality of production. within this framework, the term warranty or guarantee is often used interchangeably. But what exactly is a warranty and how does it differ from a guarantee?

#SpecialGuest| Popularly known as Mgarimbe , Nkosinathi Mfeka hails all the way from Umlazi and he is most famously known for the hit song branded as the ‘national anthem’ , Sister Bettina
Born in Durban, a township called Umlazi. Nkosinathi Mfeka aka Mgarimbe started music in Durban the year 2000, by performing at parties that were held in December at the beach. Mgarimbe used to go to Ukhozi FM asking for a record deal and which led to a friendship with one of Ukhozi fms top Deejays, Linda Sibiya. Knowing the difficulties that artists experience in the music industry, especially new artists, Linda thought that Mgarimbe needed an education to fall back on and thus paid for his second year in Business Management, but the music bug really got to him and he dropped out to go to Joburg. When he arrived at the city of dreams, he started looking for a deal.
2003, started Mgarimbe’s demo moments, while working at Butter Field to survive and to gather money for studio fees. In 2003 still, he met up with Sipho Nyathela of No Doubt. Six demos later and the perseverance in 2006 Mgarimbe met with Snothi Sithole, who introduced him to the late Jabu Sithole, he started working with Jabu, writing lyrics for him on his second offering Ubuntu and then Jabu introduced Mgarimbe to Mapaputsi, he then started working with Mapaputsi on his latest album; called GROOVER MORE 2006, he worked on majority of the album, writing and featured in four of the tracks.
2006 also saw Mgarimbe working on his album solo project, which he started in February.
From the dusty roads of Umlazi, came Mgarimbe, which means Hustler with a unique sound that is unlike any other artist in the game, a boy with dreams of opening up his own business and sign his own artists. Growing up from a kwaito back-round listening to the sounds of Skeem & Chiskop.
Mgarimbe does not want to be boxed in his music he gives people what they want. His music is for the people. With hit tracks like Sister Bethina,

TheTakeOffInterview| We talk QR (Quick Response) Codes, what exactly are they and are they safe? Think before you scan
- QR (Quick Response) codes are actually two-dimensional barcodes that were initially developed for the automotive industry back in 1994 to expand the capabilities of standard barcodes.
- Although they were designed to provide a lot more detail when scanned, the QR codes that you’ll encounter as a consumer are nothing more than a quick way to represent a complicated web link.
- It’s much quicker to shoot the code with your smartphone than it would be to type in a long string of characters to get to a specific web page, which is why they’ve become so popular.
- QR codes are, by design, incredibly user-friendly. These days, we see them everywhere. They are on the back of consumer products, and we can scan them to get more information. They are in restaurants so we can scan them to view the menu without touching a physical menu card. They are used to enter competitions, in children’s books to access online content. They are also used by various apps to allow small business vendors to accept credit card payments.

#TheTakeOffInterview| Why do people say you should never trust Human Resources? If I complain about my boss, will HR tell them? What does this department actually... do?
If you’re like a lot of people at work, you’re not entirely sure what HR does—and when you should or shouldn’t seek their help, and whether you can trust them when you do. Some people think HR is a sort of referee between employees and management (they’re not!) or between employees and other employees (they’re usually not that either). So what is HR all about, and when should you approach them?

First Thing is First | Last Week, Police Minister Bheki Cele released the Q2 crime stats, revealing a rise in serious crimes, including rape, assault and murder. This includes shocking statistics of the rising child murders in the country with more than 2 000 children killed in the last four years. Is the police losing the war on crime?
- The rate of murders in South Africa increased by 20,7% in the three-month period between July and September compared to last year, with an overall increase of 1 056 cases.
- The number of kidnapping cases has increased by 445 between July and September compared to the same period last year, as 2 000 cases were recorded.
In SA police get a bad rap, as with any job in the world, there are bad cops. Period. Just as there are incredible cops. Period. Whilst it seems they are losing the war on crime…It goes without saying that police face challenges daily, besides being perpetually at risk; other challenges such as bribery, intimidation and retribution are also ever-present. Some still manage to give honour and dignity to the uniforms they wear some don’t. Is the public being unfairly harsh on the police? As a member of the police force what are your challenges and experiences? Are you overwhelmed?

First Thing is First | What next after the local government elections?
Coalitions will be the order of the day, making election of mayors and speakers more complicated as parties wrestle for power
- According to the Municipal Structures Act, which regulates the process of assigning powers and functions to local government, a council must meet and appoint its representatives within 14 days after the result of the election of a local council has been declared.
- The first order of business would ordinarily be the election of the speaker, the councillor who will chair council meetings, maintain order and ensure the council meets at least quarterly.
- The act states that the municipal manager of the municipality, or, if the municipal manager is not available, a person designated by the MEC for local government in the province, presides over the election of a speaker. A councillor may not hold the office of speaker and mayor or executive mayor at the same time.

#TheTakeOffInterview| Teens and sexual health. …When is it the right time to introduce your teen to birth control or STD prevention methods/condoms ? Is it advisable to do that ? What should be the parents' approach? What should be the conversations be around sex?
- No parent wants to think about the fact that the baby who used to depend on them for everything is now growing into a young adult, but there's no stopping mother nature.
- Given that the legal age of consent in South Africa is 16 years for both boys and girls, and that it is not legally criminal for children between the ages of 12 and 16 to have sex within their age group, it's best not to prolong educating your tween/teen about sex.

Three police officers are back in the High Court sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court in Ekurhuleni on Monday in connection with their alleged involvement in the murder of teenager, Nathaniel Julies.

#SpeciaGuest| Actress, Business Woman and The founder of the Royalty Soapie Awards Winnie Ntshaba
Transport Minister @MbalulaFikile urges South Africans to go out in their numbers and renew their drivers license.
Two new centers opened this morning at the RMTC premises at Eco-Park in Centurion and Waterfall Office Park in Midrand.
Morongoa Mabyane from Pretoria says her license expired in April 2021 and initially struggled to find a slot to renew and in about 40 minutes today managed to find a slot at the new centre in Centurion (Eco Park).
Road Traffic Management Corporation Spokesperson Simon Zwane sets the scene for us and explains why they chose Midrand and Centurion as their locations to open 2 new driving license centers that start operating today.
The Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa says it’s unlikely that it will be able to add the names of parties whose names are omitted from the Local Government Elections ballot paper.
The IEC says these parties, which include Herman Mashaba’s ActionSA did not provide an abbreviated name or acronym when registering their parties with the IEC.
This means that they will only have their logo and names of the ward candidate featured on the November 1 ballot paper.
We now hear from Lerato Ngobeni from ActionSA and thereafter we’ll speak to Mawethu Mosery, Deputy Chief Electoral Officer at the IEC.
The Komani-based Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality in the Eastern Cape has sought to clarify the controversy surrounding its recently opened multi-million-rand stadium and sports field in Lesseyton. Images of the official opening of the facility on the municipality's Facebook page have sparked public outrage. The social media posting with pictures of the opening has since been deleted. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to the Municipal Manager, Nokuthula Zondani
DA leader John Steenhuisen says the party will not apologise or remove the posters put up in Phoenix in north of Durban. The DA in KwaZulu-Natal has come under fire on social media the controversial posters. The posters, placed on top of each other, read: "The ANC called you racists" and "The DA calls you heroes." The party is being accused of fueling racial divisions in the community of black and Indian residents. At the height of the unrest that ravaged parts of KZN and Gauteng in July, the area was mired in racial tensions that resulted in the deaths of 36 people. The killings sparked a countrywide outcry over racism in the area. Steenhuisen was engaging journalists during the parties water interruptions picket outside Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand. Sakina Kamwendo also spoke to political analyst Angelo Fick

These parties, which include Herman Mashaba's ActionSA did not, according to the Electoral Commission, provide an abbreviated name or acronym when registering their parties with the institution and thus will only have their logo and names of the ward candidate featured on the November 1 ballot paper.

While this is far from over, things are certainly looking up. Many forms of relief have been put in place, such as lower interest rates and tax breaks, which have in fact created a much better climate to buy a car. So, Is 2021 a good year to buy a car?

The matter involving Trade unions at Mango has been adjourned to Friday by the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg for heads of arguments to be heard.

Topic: Corporate Wellness Awareness During Covid-19
The Apartheid-era Victims Family Group (AVFG) has welcomed a decision by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and the Directorate for Priority Crimes to collaborate efforts in the investigation and prosecution of apartheid-era crimes. This follows the recent decision by the Supreme Court of Appeal to refuse former apartheid policeman, Joao Rodrigues' application for a stay of prosecution for his role in the murder of anti-apartheid activist, Ahmed Timol. This means Rodrigues will finally stand trial for Timol's murder, nearly 50 years since it happened. The families have, however, expressed disappointment that it took the SCA's decision for the law enforcement agencies to finally act….Let's play you an interview I had yesterday on our sister show Morning Live where I spoke to Imtiaz Cajee - nephew to former anti-apartheid activist, Ahmed Timol. We spoke to national spokesperson of the NPA, Sipho Ngwema.
While the health ministry pushes for vaccination of the elderly, those behind bars are not left behind.

First Thing is First | Gauteng is ON FIRE under the grip of the third wave with a surge in the number of Covid-19 infections and hospitalisations at both private and public health facilities in and around Joburg.
Gauteng Premier David Makhura on Monday said the "province is burning" amid staggering Covid-19 infections, warning that residents should not take the third wave lightly.
The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has been deployed to assist in the province’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This comes as Gauteng is battling to contain the third wave of COVID-19 infections.
More than 5 000 people are currently hospitalised in Gauteng with more than 12 000 deaths having been recorded since the start of the pandemic.
There have been calls for stricter lockdown regulations including an outright ban on alcohol, but the Gauteng government indicated that it would oppose such actions because this could be detrimental to the economy of the province.

TheTakeOffInterview| 45 years later on the anniversary of the 1976 Soweto uprising…Some say the youth have it better than then, others say there’s just a different oppressor.
We reflect on whether the youth and future generations have anything to celebrate and look forward to in modern day SA? Is the current youth better or worse off? Politically, the youth are apathetic… is there an alternative tool for social change other than the power of voting in a democratic society?
Guest: Prof Lesiba Teffo, Political analyst

The City of Joburg is facing a deepening power crisis, with electricity problems leading to more blackouts that take days to repair.

The couple's family says last week they experienced slight shocks when they used the taps and reported the problem to City Power several times. We spoke to City Power's spokesperson Isaac Mangena..
The Gauteng government wants stricter restrictions imposed on the province to curb the rising number of Covid-19 cases. Some hospitals have had to divert patients to other facilities due to constrained bed capacity. One Gauteng public hospital say it may have to re-purpose more wards for Covid-19 patients to accommodate the rising number of admissions. Nurses are also feeling the pressure due to the increased workload. Tshepo Phagane visited Kalafong hospital in Pretoria and filed this report...

First Thing is First | Catching other people's kids behaving badly can place parents in a sticky situation. If you're not sure how to handle it…. Is it ever okay to discipline another person’s child? And if so, what's the best way to go about it?
Does the "it takes a village" philosophy with children still apply in this day and age? Are other children your business, or should you stay quiet and hope they learn their lessons at home?

TheTakeOffInterview| #MoneyMonday| If you struggle with credit card debt, trouble covering monthly bills and other personal finance challenges, a “spending fast” could be just what the doctor ordered for your personal finances. Sound extreme? It doesn’t have to be
Spending fasts, if you’re not familiar with the term, are when people temporarily halt nonessential expenditures. Each person gets to choose what’s essential and what’s not. Many people avoid eating out, stay away from recreational shopping and look for free entertainment options. Some people avoid unnecessary travel or vow to buy only perishables such as fruit, milk and bread.

Questions|
How would you define a spending fast, what are the benefits?
Can a Spending Fast Fix Your Finances?
Is a spending fast is more manageable than big goals
Where do you start? How can you practically do implement it?
Final advice
A spending fast is a break from your regular spending. You decide to stop spending on nonessentials for a period of time (usually a calendar month, but it can be longer or shorter periods).
Before you start, figure out your “why.” Are you trying to pay down debt, save more money or get more mindful about your spending? Any or all of those can be good reasons and help you stay motivated.
Set your (own) rules. Essential spending is usually the stuff that has serious consequences if you put it off, such as rent, utilities, loan payments and so on. Many people vow not to eat out, go to the movies, take trips, buy clothes or spend on anything that can be delayed.
Expect the unexpected. Surprise expenses and opportunities to spend can crop up. Try to think of creative workarounds, but don’t put off an expense (like a car repair!) if the delay could be expensive (such as needing a new engine!).

Selling sex has been illegal in South Africa since at least the early 1900s and buying sex was criminalized in 2007. South African laws also prohibit other aspects of sex work, including running or owning a brothel, living off the earnings of “prostitution,” and enticing a woman into “prostitution.
The criminalization of sex work has not deterred people from selling sex to make a living.

First Thing is First | The green paper on marriages was recently published by the department of home affairs for public comment. One of the proposals in it, is the recognition of polyandry. Polyandry would allow women to be married to more than one man at the same time .
Commissioner from the Commission for gender equality Mbuyiselo Botha believes that ‘Opposition to polyandry is bid by men to control marriage power dynamics’
Questions|
Why would there be opposition to polyandry when society has accepted polygamy?
Is the uproar not also rooted in the constant need to stifle and police the choices women can make?
This also challenges family norms
What would you say to those are opposing this?
A green paper is a part of a legislative process…..
The process of making a law sometimes begins with a discussion document, called a Green Paper. This is drafted in the Ministry or department dealing with the particular issue in order to show the way that it is thinking on a particular policy. It is then published so that anyone who is interested can give comments, suggestions and ideas.
The Green Paper is sometimes followed by a more refined discussion document, called a White Paper, which is a broad statement of government policy. This is drafted by the relevant department or a task team designated by the Minister of that department. Comment may again be invited from interested parties. The relevant parliamentary Committees may propose amendments or other proposals and then send the policy paper back to the Ministry for further discussion and final decisions.

TheTakeOffInterview| Most people have either been victims of hijackings themselves, or know someone close to them who has. In fact, it is rare to meet someone who has not been affected by this crime in some way.
In most instances the hijacker is just a robber who wants your car or your belongings and will do whatever it takes to get them. But sometimes the motive may be more sinister and this could result in some serious injury and trauma to the innocent motorist. How can you avoid being hijacked? What can you do if you find yourself in a hijacking?

TheTakeOffInterview| TRANSGENDER YOUTH AT HIGHEST RISK OF SUICIDE|
Despite growing global attention on and acknowledgement of gender diversity, young people who identify as transgender face an uphill battle for acceptance in the face of misunderstanding and misinformation, stigma, discrimination and bullying, putting their mental health and even their lives at risk.
Transgender individuals are at an increased risk of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety and substance abuse, with almost half of transgender adults having suicidal thoughts and nearly a third attempting suicide.
Similarly, transgender youth – already facing the physical changes and emotional turmoil of adolescence – are at high risk for mental illness and life-threatening behaviours. Studies have shown that more than a third of transgender youth have a history of self-injuring behaviours and a third report at least one suicide attempt.[iii] While almost one in ten teenage deaths in South Africa year is the result of suicide,[iv] the risk of suicide is even greater amongst transgender youth who don’t receive the support they need.
Guest: Prof Gerhard Grobler, Psychiatrist and past-president of the South African Society of Psychiatrists (SASOP)
Landa Mabenge is the author of “Becoming Him – A Trans Memoir of Triumph.” He is the founder and managing director of Landa Mabenge Consulting, which creates awareness of the transgender experience. He is the first known transgender man in South Africa to receive medical aid to finance his gender alignment surgeries.
Phoner | Overall the LGBTQI+ community ( lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer , non-binary etc) experience significant discrimination, across many areas of life. These South Africans experience barriers to economic and social inclusion related to structural inequality and social stigma along multiple axes (e.g., race, sexuality, gender, sex) even with South Africa’s progressive Constitution
In the fight for LGBTQ+ rights on the African continent, South Africa leads the way for marriage equality and legal protection against discrimination. In fact it was the first country in the world to protect against discrimination based on sexual orientation and the fifth to legalize same-sex marriage.
On paper, this country is a haven for people like me, but there lies a stark contrast between the written policies and lived experiences.
What are the daily experiences and challenges of this community in SA today? How do you cope with being stigmatized? Do you feel safe? Do you feel accepted and included? Are you hiding your authentic self because you don’t feel safe? What are your real life stories?

TheTakeOffInterview| The Association of Black Securities and Investment Professionals (Absip) says they cannot rule out the possibility that racial motivation played a role in the Absa Group’s decision to part ways with outgoing CEO Daniel Mminele.
Mminele was the first black executive to lead the bank and will leave the group in less than 16 months.
The Black Management Forum says it will write to the Board of the Absa Group to establish the reasons behind its decision.
Mminele is the second black CEO to leave a South African bank following differences with the board - Basani Maluleke stepped down as African Bank CEO in January.
White directors continue to occupy the bulk of positions in senior management across the financial services sector, particularly in banking, and the trend in recent years indicated stagnation rather than progress.
The 2020 Transformation Report – compiled by Intellidex on behalf of the Banking Association of South Africa – indicated there were “still some glaring gaps in the transformation landscape”.
Black senior management made up only 38 percent of roles in executive management.
First things first | Discipline in the classroom is globally considered a norm, ensuring the functionality of education in both public and private schools. The teacher is central to maintaining a classroom environment that enables learning and teaching.
The use of corporal punishment was abolished in South African schools in 1996 as it was regarded as violation of children’s rights. Educators generally felt disempowered in their ability to maintain discipline in schools in the absence of corporal punishment. After the banning of corporal punishment in schools under the South African Schools Act (84 of 1996), lack of discipline and safety in schools became one of the major challenges. Maintaining discipline in the classroom remains a challenge for teachers.
As a teacher how are you coping with maintaining discipline in the classroom, which methods are you using, are you winning? What your day to day challenges where discipline is concerned?
People often see ‘discipline’ as the same thing as ‘punishment’. They are not. Discipline actually refers to the practice of teaching or training a person to obey rules or a code of behaviour in the short- and long-term.1 While punishment is meant to control children’s behaviour, discipline is meant to develop their behaviour.
What does the law say?
South Africa has a number of laws that protect learners from corporal punishment and abuse. Section 12(1) of the Constitution states that everyone has the right to freedom and security, including the rights: to be free from all forms of violence, not to be tortured, treated or punished in a cruel, inhuman or degrading way. Section 28(1)(d) protects every child from maltreatment, neglect, abuse or degradation. Section 10 states that everyone has inherent human dignity and the right to its protection.
Section 10(1) the South African Schools Act provides that no person may administer corporal punishment at a school against a learner. A person who contravenes this provision is

South Africa has struck a R218 billion energy deal with Turkish company Karpowership to provide South Africa with power from Ships. The three floating power stations - which use Liquefied Natural Gas to produce electricity - are expected to dock at Saldanha, Richards Bay and Gqeberha towards the second half of next year. The Dept. of Mineral Resources and Energy has however acknowledged that Karpowership, which will supply 450 megawatts of electricity from gas, does not meet the local content requirement for the ships it will use. Deputy Director General Jacob Mbele told parliament that the final agreements are yet to be signed .
Meanwhile, Energy Analyst Clyde Mallinson says the Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMIPPPP) is expensive and should be replaced by a materially larger, cost-effective, procurement programme based primarily on renewables and storage, rather than power ships. Mallinson has written to the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) and the Independent Power Producer (IPP) Office to highlight these expensive shortcomings of the RMIPPPP.

First Thing is First The bail application of a 14-year-old Limpopo girl who was arrested for assaulting fellow pupil Lufuno Mavhunga has been rolled over to Thursday to allow the court to appoint a new presiding officer.
The teenager was arrested last week not long after a video of her assaulting Mavhunga at the Mbilwi Secondary School in Thohoyandou emerged and was shared widely online.
The incident resulted in the 15-year-old Mavhunga taking her own life, sparking outrage and re-igniting debate about bullying in schools.
The 14-year-old girl was expected to make her second court appearance on Tuesday, however, the Thoyoyandou Children’s Magistrates Court could not proceed with the bail application.
The National Prosecuting Authority’s Mashudu Malabi Dzhangi explained: “At the stage, the matter shall be held by a mutual chair to ensure there is a mutual balance in the interest of the State and the interest of the child. The previous magistrate knows the facts of the preliminary inquiry.”
Bail proceedings have been postponed to later this week and the accused is being kept at a youth centre.
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) says it has encountered payment delays for March and April COVID-19 grant. SASSA says this due to the transition in government financial years.

First Thing is First| As a result, many men find themselves in doubt and asking if they are the true father when their partner gets pregnant. The one obvious solution is to take a paternity test to make sure. It is hard to blame men for even considering this, as raising a child is one of the largest investments made in any person's life, man or woman, so wouldn't everyone want to be 100% sure they are putting their time into a child that is truly theirs? However, this can be a difficult conversation to have with the mother of the child.
Is it Wrong to Ask for a Paternity Test?
DNA paternity testing determines the biological father of a child. We all inherit our DNA from our biological parents — half from our mother and half from our father. A DNA paternity test compares a child’s DNA pattern with that of the alleged father to determine if there is a match. How does it work?

Since the rise of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, social media has become a big component in how we grieve. Unfortunately, it’s very easy for posts about a person’s death skewing on being insensitive especially if the family is unaware. There is also often with speculation around the cause of death. So what’s permissible and what’s unacceptable about mourning in the digital age? Should we as a society set rules and follow them when it comes to social media etiquette where death is concerned? How should we deal with death in the social media age?

A statement released in the early hours of Tuesday by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases -- or NIAID -- pointed to concern expressed by an independent panel of experts that AstraZeneca may have included outdated information from a trial conducted in the US, Chile and Peru. The NIAID has now urged AstraZeneca to work with the Data and Safety Monitoring Board to review the efficacy data and ensure the most accurate, up-to date efficacy data is made public as quickly as possible.

TheTakeOffInterview| #SpecialGuest The multi award winning legendary musician Joe Nina
As one of the founding fathers of the kwaito genre Joe Nina in his latest single “My Love Song (Uthand’Ingoma Yam’)”, collaborates with Professor and Zakwe, two of the most significant innovators of both the kwaito and the hip-hop scene.
Born MAKHOSINI XABA
Known for hits like Ding Dong, Sbali and Nomthandazo
30 Years in the industry, 30 albums
As one of South Africa’s Kwaito pioneers, Joe Nina has also achieved great success as an Afro-soul musician, but is not limited to any of these genres.
He comes from humble beginnings in the Kwa-Themba Township in the East Rand where he was born, to becoming a mega star, owning his own recording company, writing a soundtrack for the movie Jump the gun, and starring in it by the age of 24.
Joe Nina’s father, Solomon Xaba, was a guitar and saxophone player during the heydays of Sophiatown, while his mother, Lettie, did backing vocals for his father’s band, the Shamings.
He says his parents used to take him along to shows where he was happy to learn. They would also travel as far as Swaziland, living the
musical dream.
Learning to play the drums and singing under the excellent coaching of his father, Joe Nina gradually developed and discovered his own musical talent. By age 14 he could play the piano and at 16 he announced his intentions to pursue a musical career.
Joe Nina has been on fire ever since and never looked back.
Always determined to make a difference Joe Nina, not willing to let the
current situation lead us to solitude and desolation
Please tell us about your latest single “My Love Song (Uthand’Ingoma Yam’)”,

In mid-December 2017, the former President of the country Jacob Zuma announced that at the beginning of 2018 free higher education will be provided to all new first year students from families earning less than R350 000 per year. Meanwhile, The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is unable to confirm funding for first-year university students, due to the scheme’s financial shortfalls for the 2021 academic year.
Nzimande said that there were several reasons for the funding shortfall, among them the impact of Covid-19. He said they had to continue to pay NSFAS funded student allowances even when universities and colleges were closed.
University students have been protesting over registration issues . Yesterday we saw chaotic scenes erupt in the Johannesburg CBD when police fired rubber bullets at students who were protesting over fees and registration issues.
The students at Wits promise that protests will continue.
What does free higher education actually mean in South Africa? Is education too politicized in SA? Does NSFAS have the capacity to handle the task at hand? Does SA have enough money , if so how can it be properly channeled?

In a notice issued to South African motorists via its website, the South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) says that new licence discs can be withheld from vehicle owners and drivers until they settle their e-toll bill.

We spoke to CEO of OUTA (Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse), Wayne Duvenage.
Today is the eighth day of the sit by various SA artists at the offices of the National Arts Council in Newtown, Johannesburg. At the heart of the matter is the funding agency's alleged inability or unwillingness to avail relief funds to artists, and to answer questions about how the funds were disbursed, specifically how much of the R300 million has been disbursed so far. The artists say that this is a legitimate fight against the corruption and unfairness that has been going on at the NAC for years; more specifically now with the R300 million presidential stimulus for artists.We spoke to Acting Chairperson of the National Arts Council, Princess Celenhle Dlamini and Opera Singer, Sibongile Mngoma.

A report from Wonga, found that non-registered credit lenders, or ‘loan sharks’ appear to be more widespread than previously thought, with as many as 40,000 operating in South Africa at a ratio of 1:100 for every household in informal settlements.
The report found that the average value of a loan ranges from between R500 – R1,000, while interest on a loan ranges from between 30% – 50%. Very few loans exceed R5,000, the report found.
The fact that the loan is structured so simply, is a draw-card for the use of mashonisas, Wonga said, as opposed to perceived hidden fees attached to legal financial services firms.

TheTakeOff | #MoneyMonday Since it is month end, let us reflect on ‘Black Tax’- "black tax”, where those who have an income are often expected to support their families financially - even if sometimes they can’t afford it.
The burden of “black tax” causes financial distress , possibly leaving the contributors with no savings left after having to share their salaries with entire families. Are there ways to help your family without going broke? Should you say No to ‘Black tax’? Is it family responsibility or manipulation?

TheTakeOff | Mental health is the biggest threat of 2021: The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic recession have negatively affected many people’s mental health and created new barriers for people already suffering from mental illness and substance use disorders.

FirstThingisFirst| The Zondo commission has moved to dismiss former president Jacob Zuma’s reasons for refusing to take the stand and give evidence on the allegations of state capture and corruption levelled against him.
Zuma had been summoned by the commission to appear before the commission where a week had been set aside for him to give his version on the testimony that had been given before the commission and which implicated him in allegations of wrongdoing.
Zuma, who had earlier indicated he would defy the commission and refuse to participate in its proceedings, had on Monday morning written to the commission through his lawyers and reiterated he would not be taking the stand.
Zuma argued he was still busy pursuing a review application on the refusal of the commission’s chairperson, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, to recuse himself, which he said had not been adjudicated by the Constitutional Court when it ordered him to co-operate with the commission last month.

The number of staff affected by the move however, has gone down from 600 to 400. There are about 170 vacant positions that will be available for employees to apply for, which provides the potential of further reducing the number of affected employees to 230. The SABC also intends implementing and considering other cost cutting alternatives. We spoke to Aubrey Tshabalala, Communication Workers' Union spokesperson.
South Africa's unemployment rate has increased by 7.5% to 30.8% in the third quarter of 2020. Statistics South Africa has just released the unemployment figure for the third quarter, announcing that the unemployment rose to 30-point-8 percent from 23-point-3 percent in the second quarter. However, the unemployment rate was artificially low in the second quarter because Statistics South Africa only classifies people as unemployed if they are actively looking for work, which many people were unable to do in the second quarter because of the strict coronavirus lockdown. There were 6-point-5 million people unemployed in the third quarter, compared with 4-point-3 million unemployed people in the second quarter. We spoke to Statistician general Risenga Maluleke.

TheTakeOffInterview| We are joined by motivational speaker and author of “I Was Raped and You Were Born” Scelo Mncube. Scelo had a difficult upbringing, he had to deal with what seemed like his mother not loving him, all the way until her death, following that he found a note from her saying that he was born as a result of rape.
His life has been full of hardships that he’s dealt with such as being forced to leave his home, dropping out of school, and eventually ending up living on the streets. It was while dealing with the truth behind his conception that he decided that it would not define who he was and that he had to turn his life around and to help those who have been or are going through similar times. The reason that he wrote the book was that it was a cathartic method of getting out his pain and to exercise the demons that were living in his head, after discovering the truth. His hope is that it will motivate others not to give up on life.
Listener Interaction: Do you believe in ukuthwala, what have you seen or heard about it? Do you know people who practice it?
INTERVIEW: Western Cape Premier, Alan Winde, and Education MEC Debbie Schafer are reportedly at Brackenfell High for a meeting with school management.
This follows a confrontation between the EFF and parents yesterday.
It’s alleged that only white grade 12s and their parents were invited to a recent matric farewell.
One arrest was made following yesterday's confrontation. We’re now joined on the line by Melikhaya Xego, EFF Provincial chairperson.
The EFF has vowed to intensify its campaign against alleged racism at Brackenfell High School in the Western Cape. EFF members and parents of the school clashed over a private matric celebration organised by some parents which allegedly excluded black students. Western Cape Education Minister Debbie Schafer has warned that if the EFF continues its protest action she will approach the courts to interdict them from disrupting the Grade 12 examinations. Meanwhile President Cyril Ramaphosa has also condemned the incident and has called for an urgent investigation into allegations of racism at the school. He says all parties involved should exercise restraint and resolved the matter peacefully and through dialogue.

TheTakeOffInterview| What is happening at Emfuleni Local Municipality , why are there so many service delivery issues?
As of yesterday Rand Water implemented the credit control measures at Emfuleni reducing water pressure due to the non-payment for services rendered.
The water pressure has been reduced by 20%.
The municipality has failed to honour the agreements made to settle the outstanding amounts due to Rand Water
The Emfuleni municipality includes areas such as Vereeniging, Vanderbijlpark, Evaton and Sebokeng
Parliament's portfolio committee on co-operative governance and traditional affairs (Cogta) recently blasted the municipality for its lack of procurement oversight and failed financial controls.
Irregular expenditure topped R1.1bn in the 2018/19 year as a result of the municipality failing to comply with supply-chain management regulations or the Municipal Finance Management Act which set out the required process to solicit competitive bids and quotes.The municipality incurred irregular expenditure of R670m. 33 of its current and former employees, as well as private companies, are now being fingered.
The Emfuleni Local Municipality has announced that it will be taking “steps” to recover misused funds totalling at least R670 million by 33 of its current and former employees, as well as private companies.
Emfuleni’s supply chain management and the fleet department employees are among those implicated in a report by forensic investigation company Comperio, which revealed massive looting within the municipality during the past five years.

Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden is six electoral college delegates shy of winning the United States Presidency after he was projected winner of both key Midwestern states of Wisconsin and Michigan. With the magic number of 270 delegates required to win the White House, Biden could seal his victory with a win in Nevada, where he holds a slight lead over incumbent President Donald Trump, whose campaign is seeking to challenge the voting process in several states, citing mail-in-ballot fraud -- without any evidence -- as the prospect increases of him becoming one-term President. Sherwin Bryce-Pease reports...

South Africans have once again questioned the government's priorities amid an economic crisis and jobs bloodbath which have been worsened by the Covid-19 pandemic. This after President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday unveiled a R13 million statue of Oliver Tambo erected at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg
Erecting statues and renaming national key points plays a major role in nation building. However, almost every time a new statue is unveiled, there is much debate about the costs involved - and in most cases, how those funds could have otherwise been spent.
Is erecting statues really the best way to remember our heroes or are there more impactful ways that money can be spent? Should we not be spending the money on those alive?

TheTakeOffInterview | Buying a house on auction: the dos and don’t’s
The popularity of auctions in South Africa has grown tremendously over the years, with the many people in search of bargains and deals in these tough economic times. Auctions are a public sale in which goods or properties are sold to the highest bidder.
There are great opportunities for buyers at property auctions, but you need to understand the rules of the game. If you’re planning to buy a house at an auction there are a few things you should note.
Buying a house on auction no longer means that you are only looking at distressed property sales. In fact, homeowners today are turning to auctions more often to sell their homes as quickly as possible for as high a price as possible.

TheTakeOffInterview| Monday marked the 43rd anniversary of Black Wednesday .
The 1977 killing of Black Consciousness icon Steve Biko in police custody drew widespread rage and the state responded by closing newspapers, banning organisations and detaining journalists and activists. That was on October 19 of that year, which became known as Black Wednesday.
Since then, South African journalists have used Black Wednesday to draw attention to the importance of media freedom. As the country and the world changed around them, they have highlighted the enduring importance of that most basic of rights: the citizen’s right to information. Over the years, the nature of the threats to media freedom has changed. What is the state of press freedom in SA today?

The latest organised crime research, based on interviews with some of the people smuggled out of Africa to work in the Gulf-states, has revealed how many of them were forced to work long hours, without any medical attention. Some were physically and sexually harassed by their employers. This report was compiled by our reporter Tshepo Phagane. We also spoke to Tershia de Klerk- Chief Operations Officer of Stop Trafficking Of People (STOP)

TheTakeOffInterview| The South African Institute of Black Property Practitioners (SAIBPP) has urged President Cyril Ramaphosa and government to ensure that black-owned companies are involved in the construction of multibillion-rand infrastructure plans such as the Mooikloof Mega City housing launch on Sunday.
SAIBPP president Tholo Makhaola was commenting after Balwin Properties was named as the property entity which would be responsible for the construction and development of the mega housing projects set to be completed within a year. We chat about the construction industry and challenges faced by Black-owned companies
The case for the transformation of the South African construction sector is an obvious and evident one to make. Large companies continue to dominate business in the engineering and built environments and emerging contractors are confronted with huge barriers to entry.
The South African Institute of Black Property Practitioners' (SAIBPP) vision is to be a leader in the transformation of the property sector, ensuring that previously disadvantaged people play an active role in transforming the property industry and not merely being on the receiving end.

TheTakeOffInterview| Bribery, brutality and abuse of power are some of the key trends uncovered within the police service in the latest analysis published by Corruption Watch.
The organisation released its 2020 edition of the Analysis of Corruption Trends (ACT) report on Tuesday. It demonstrated growing concerns about corruption levels in SA.
Corruption Watch said close to 2,000 people blew the whistle on corruption during the first half of 2020, an increase of more than 400 reports received compared to the same period last year.
Bribery featured in 31% of complaints received by the organisation, and these were specifically about police corruption.
Guest: Melusi Ncala, the primary researcher for the report
Corruption Watch has multiple channels for reporting corruption. Report online at www.corruptionwatch.org.za, or via WhatsApp on 072 013 5569.

The ANC in Gauteng has decided not to release its Provincial Integrity Commission (PIC) report on PPE corruption scandal. The Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) met for two days deliberating on the report which it felt had inconsistencies, contradictions and lacked adequate information. The PEC resolved to extend leave of absence for Health MEC Bandile Masuku, his wife Loyiso who is an MMC in the City of Johannesburg and Presidency spokesperson Khusela Diko by two weeks. The trio took leave of absence as they were being probed by the PIC after they were implicated in the awarding of R2 billion PPE tenders by the provincial Health Department. Nomalizo Mandela filed this report
The total number of reports on corruption has increased. In 2020 there were 1-thousand-995 corruption cases reported to civil society organisation Corruption Watch compared to 1-thousand-591 cases last year. This is an increase of over 400 cases. The anti-corruption body says 55 percent of the bulk of corruption cases reported to them were gathered after the national state of disaster was declared from mid-March. Corruption Watch released its annual report of corruption trends for 2020 today *(Tuesday-22/09) . Whistleblower allegations of corruption in the South African Police Service, municipal offices, schools, traffic and licensing centres, and the health sector - accounted for a third of the reports of corruption.

But, should everyone consider alternative investments? Not necessarily, but you should familiarize yourself with what this means and what options you have.

Economists and transport experts warn that cable theft and vandalism of Metrorail's commuter rail network is economic sabotage.

September is Literacy Month, and this week September the 7th to the 11th is Literacy week, whilst today is International Literacy Day.
According to The Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS), an international comparative reading assessment: 78% of Grade 4 learners in South Africa cannot read for meaning, and this is significantly worse for children tested in African languages—93% of Grade 4 students tested in Sepedi could not read for meaning with similarly large percentages among Setswana (90%), Tshivenda (89%), isiXhosa (88%), Xitsonga (88%), isiZulu (87%) and isiNdebele (87%).
Eight out of every 10 children in South Africa can’t read properly. Not in English, not in their home language, not in any language.
Out of the 50 countries surveyed, South Africa came last.
However according to StatsSA, as of 2015, South Africa's total literacy rate was around 94.37 percent, which means almost 95 percent of all South Africans could read and write.
Clicks Group CEO Vikesh Ramsunder responds to the whole hair advert saying that he was deeply disappointed that the company allowed insensitive and offensive images to be published on its website.
The Passenger rail Agency South Africa (PRASA) says they are experiencing unprecedented levels of vandalism across all regional Metrorail and Shosholoza Meyl services resulting in massive disruption to services. In Gauteng alone, over 672,000 daily train commuters are left stranded by the collapse of train services, while 1,833 incidents of train stations have been vandalised over the past three years at a replacement cost in excess of R2 billion.

TheTakeOffInterview| Families are diverse and don’t look the same for each child. It’s not unusual for someone to have two mommies or two daddies. If your kids are curious – like most children are – they may ask you about it. These questions are a great opportunity to share information with your child about important topics like sexual orientation, gender identity and healthy relationships. Most parents don’t know how or if they should talk to their kids about sexual orientation and gender identity.

Former Joburg mayor Herman Mashaba believes his new political party , Action SA, launched this past Saturday can challenge the ANC in the 2021 municipal elections?

TheTakeOffInterview| The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for economic policy reforms to address deep socio-economic inequalities in South Africa, including transparent pay reporting towards closing the persistent gender pay gap which sees South African women still earning up to 35% less[i] than men for doing the same work.
If South Africa is to dislodge its stagnant gender pay gap, mandatory pay transparency – making gender differences in wages known to employees, government and the public – can be the means to compel employers to remunerate fairly and equally, according to a new study by the University of Stellenbosch Business School (USB).
While collective bargaining and the introduction of the national minimum wage have seen the gap narrowing for women in lower-earning jobs, for women in middle and upper pay levels the gap has actually widened and continues to do so.
The problem is greater in the private sector where pay is market-driven, since public sector wages are largely standardised
Guest: Prof Anita Bosch, the USB Research Chair for Women at Work, The study’s lead author
Their recommendations for greater transparency on pay include more detailed, gender pay-related information captured in existing reporting required from companies on employment and remuneration, mandatory pay audits and requiring pay information to be made available to unions and employees, as well as penalties for non-compliance.
The importance of equal pay for equal work was highlighted by the fact that more than a third of South African households are headed by women[iv] and female-headed households are approximately 40% poorer than those headed by men[v]. Almost half of female-headed households support extended family, compared to just over 20% of male-headed households[vi]

The Mangaung Metro is expected to make an announcement over the fate of executive mayor Olly Mlamleli. The metro will hold a special council meeting this afternoon. Mlamleli was voted out last week Friday during a motion of no confidence. Some ANC Councillors voted with opposition parties to oust Mlamleli through a secret vote. Speaker Mxolisi Siyonzana is expected to officially announce the results at about 14h00 this afternoon. The motion comes after the municipality was downgraded twice by Rating Agency Moody's. The municipality was also placed under administration last year. We got an update from our reporter, Ishmael Modiba.
The SABC News has been reliably informed that, the interim provincial committee of the ANC, has resolved to remove mayors, speakers and chief whips in five of the province's municipalities. It is reported that their removal is linked to their failure to carry-out the party's mandate as required. We spoke to our reporter, Parick Dintwa and also got analysis from Prof. Andre Duvenhage, Political Scientist and Professor at the University of the North West.
ARTS: The National School of the Arts has called for financial help.

INTERVIEW: Police in KwaZulu-Natal have intensified their efforts to track down and arrest a suspected serial killer operating in the province's south coast town of Mthwalume following the discovery of a fifth body.

South Africa could experience load shedding for the next two to three years if urgent steps are not taken to mitigate against energy shortages. This is according to research presented by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). The CSIR says load shedding experienced in 2020 has already overtaken 2019 levels. The research group said that heavy load shedding will persist through to 2022, and worse yet, it will likely be three times worse than the load shedding experienced in 2019. We spoke to Dr Jarrad Wright from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research.

INTERVIEW: Farmer and businesswoman Siphesihle Kwetana failed matric in 2013 but today she leases two farming properties and grows crops for Pick ‘n Pay, Spar, Food Lover’s Market and Ideal Veg. The award winning farmer also co-owns Siphe Development and Capacitation Agencyto the drawing board for young Kwetana.
The mother of two then noticed a gap in the agricultural industry in the province. Most of the grocery stores had a limited offering of veggies and those with a larger variety were selling it at exorbitant prices. “When I asked why, they explained that it was because the vegetables were being sourced from Port Elizabeth and KwaZulu Natal,” she says.
This revelation was like music to Kwetana’s ears. “Instead of retailers sourcing veggies elsewhere, I could grow the vegetables myself and supply them with it,” Kwetana explains.
By this time, Kwetana and Pachena had gotten married, and he helped her acquire land near Umthata Dam. This two-hectare plot she leases from a family to grow spinach.
Hillary, who is an agricultural engineer, installed an irrigation system on the family’s farm one day and his wife joined him. “On our visit, Siphesihle noticed the vacant land and immediately fell in love with it. Particularly because it was located near the Umtata Dam,” Hillary says.
Kwetana has had a remarkable 2019, winning four awards in just under six months. Her accolades include Provincial Top Commercial Entrepreneur in the female category, National Agriculture Excellence Small-holder Award and Youth in Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award from the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) and the Top Commercial Entrepreneur Award from the Department of Rural Development and Agrarian Reform (DRDAR).
INTERVIEW: Planes at South African airports have been forced to perform landings without essential Instrument Landing System. This follows a fatal accident involving the South African Civil Aviation Authority aircraft and crew late in January 2020. We now get an explanation from Phuthego Mojapele, Aviation Expert.
City of Johannesburg Housing MMC Mlungisi Mabaso says the City will not tolerate lawlessness. He was responding to the situation that is playing out in Fleurhof, south west of Johannesburg where scores of people have forcefully moved into RDP houses. They say the structures were completed about four years ago but have not been allocated since then....he spoke to us.
The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) says reports about planes at South African airports forced to perform landings without essential guidance system are misguided and inaccurate. This comes after media reports that Planes at South African airports are forced to perform landings without essential guidance system. SACAA says the ILS is just one of the few landing and take-off techniques that are used- which means that a plane can still land without an ILS. We spoke to Poppy Khoza- CEO of the South African Civil Aviation Authority.

TheTakeOffInterview| We've all heard the advice to “read the fine print” before we sign anything, but does anyone actually do it? Do you read the fine print?
While it’s easy to quickly scroll through the fine print, it could actually save you a lot of pain (and sometimes money!) to read through it. Fine print, also called “terms and conditions” or “terms of service”, are the part of an agreement that spells out restrictions and limitations.

INTERVIEW: Friends and fans have paid tribute to legendary broadcaster Bob Mabena on social media. The Atteridgeville-born radio and TV personality passed away on Sunday after suffering a cardiac arrest at the age of 51. He started his radio career in 1989 at the then Republic of Bophuthatswana with the now defunct Radio Bop. We now chat to Joyous Celebration's Lindelani Mkhize
INTERVIEW: The Limpopo Provincial Government identified the overcrowded Talana Hostels as posing a real Covid-19 infection danger.
The short-term solution was to build emergency temporary structures to mitigate the impact and so the Housing Development Agency was appointed as the implementing agent for the construction of Temporary Residential Units.
The country has been in uproar over the expenditure and the humanitarian aspect of these Units.
Mr Stephen Poya who is the COO at Housing Development Agency joins us today to give more insight on the matter.
South Africa is in the grip of two pandemics - COVID-19 and gender-based violence. This was the lament from President Cyril Ramaphosa during his virtual address to the nation on Women's Day. Ramaphosa said that the reality for millions of South African women is at odds with the promises contained in the constitution. President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Womens Day that opportunity exists to build a country where women's rights are not negotiable.This year's Women's month commemoration comes at a time when the country is fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 lockdown has witnessed an increase in domestic violence and abuse, leaving women vulnerable and in danger. The impact of the pandemic on society has the potential to reverse progress made on women empowerment and eradicating poverty. We spoke to John Jeffery , the Deputy Minister of Justice and Correctional Service.
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) says it has recently been targeted by criminal syndicates and various attempts were made to defraud its system. Its anti-fraud strategy has been continuously tested over the years by criminals. A number of suspects have been arrested in various provinces and their cases are before the courts.We spoke to SASSA spokesperson, Paseka Letsatsi.

Ace Magashule's sons, Tshepiso and Thato, have been awarded tenders to the value of R2.7 million, according to a Daily Maverick report.
The award was made after the provincial treasury decided to centralise Covid-19 supply procurement, to support local businesses.
Free State Treasury head of department Godfrey Mahlatsi says the provincial treasury "would not have discriminated against" two companies linked to Ace Magashule's sons "based on the fact that their father is the former premier of the Free State Province".
Magashule's sons Tshepiso and Thato have been awarded government contracts for Covid-19 goods and services, Daily Maverick reported on Friday.
The publication reported that the provincial treasury had awarded contracts with a combined value of R2.7 million to Motheko Projects and Marvel Deeds, owned by Tshepiso Magashule and Thato Magashule respectively.
The tenders have been awarded amid reports that the province's Finance MEC Gadija Brown is close to Ace Magashule.”

Power Utility Eskom has taken radical steps to recover its money from owing municipalities. Eskom has recently attached the bank account of Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality in the Free State.

The South African Local Government Association (Salga) in KZN is calling for a review in municipal funding models.

This according to rural municipalities exacerbates a gap between urban and rural communities and also makes it difficult for rural municipalities to deal with backlog in the provision of service delivery.

TheTakeOffInterview| Research into the tobacco sales ban|Recent research has shown that the average price of cigarettes has increased by nearly 250% compared to pre-lockdown levels. More than a quarter of people who quit during lockdown indicated that they would start smoking again after the sales ban is lifted
Has the tobacco sales ban successfully in minimized the spread of Covid-19?
Nearly 30% of respondents indicated that they had tried to quit during the lockdown. The main reason, as indicated by 56% of respondents who tried to quit, was the high prices of cigarettes. Another 14% of respondents indicated that they had tried to quit because they were unable to find cigarettes. Only 11% of respondents that tried to quit indicated that they did so because of the sales ban.
The authors argue that the intention of the sales ban, in terms of smokers quitting and reducing spreading COVID-19 through cigarette sharing, is undermined by the fact that so many people are still smoking cigarettes and by the increased occurrence of cigarette sharing. They conclude that the extension of the ban beyond lockdown level 5 has been misguided, and recommend that the ban be lifted immediately. The sales ban has stimulated the already large illicit market. Illegal distribution channels have become more entrenched, which will have lasting public health and economic consequences. For every additional month that the sales ban continues, the government loses at least R1 billion in revenues.

Men And Emotions
Our emotional state often dictates how we behave, with men and women handling emotions in quite different ways. When upset, women are more likely to express their feelings directly and to seek the support of friends and family, whereas men might hide their emotions or withdraw.
As a man do you struggle to express your emotions especially pain, anger, fear, sadness?

SAA and its associated business rescue practitioners are today in a meeting with creditors and employees as the debate surrounding liberation versus liquidation rages on. In the lead-up to today's meeting, the Department of Public Enterprises, led by Minister Pravin Gordhan, has called on both unions and creditors to support the creation of a new national carrier. Today, the business rescue plan - which could cost the South African taxpayer anywhere been R16 billion and R30 billion to save SAA - will be voted on by the national carrier's creditors. If less than 75% of stakeholders vote in favour of the business rescue plan, SAA will be face liquidation, which, if finalised, will result in diminished severance pay-outs…To help us better understand the significance of today's vote, we spoke to Aviation Analyst, Desmond Latham.

INTRO: Parents are de-registering their children from school to avoid paying school fees. While on the other hand, some schools are reporting that parents are defaulting on paying fees because they have lost their jobs. Others are refusing to pay because their children have not been going to school. The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in most learners losing half of the school year and parents questioning why they should continue paying fees. Angela Bolowana compiled this report...
Minister of Basic Education Angie Motshekga says she is surprised that parents are not rushing to register for home schooling. The minister says she expected that parents would take up this option following the outrage against the decision to open schools. Thousands of learners have gone back to school and more are expected to do so at the end of the month. But parents say home schooling is not viable and provincial departments have also not been helpful. Angela Bolowana reports...

Hundreds JMPD trainees are disgruntled with the ANC-led government in Joburg and are speaking out against the alleged continued ill-treatment by Public Safety MMC Mally Mokoena. This is after they were allegedly recalled by the MMC stating that they are poorly trained and have been back to the police academy to be retrained. Some see this as the consequence of the ANCs on-going strategy to purge the JMPD of all appointments made during the DA government, replacing them with politically-aligned comrades. These new recruits had been enlisted during the DA's tenure in government and were due to conclude training at the end of 2019. We spoke one of the disgruntled JMPD trainees and one of the new graduates, who asked to remain anonymous. We also spoke to Superintendent Wayne Minnaar, Spokesperson for the Johannesburg Metro Police.

TheTakeOffInterview|As we continue with conversations around effective ways to tackle gender-based violence we need to talk about raising boys
Research conducted in the past five years by the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) and the South African Race Relations Institute (SARRI) found that 60 percent of SA children have absent fathers, and more than 40 percent of South African mothers are single parents, compared with 25 percent in the US and a developed world average of just 15 percent.
In South Africa, apartheid damaged the very structure of family life: without the ability to own land and live close to their low-paying jobs, black men were# subjected to the migrant labour system that took them away from their families for months or years at a time. Geographically disrupted families are still the norm for many South Africans.

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) says it is working on an appeal system for the aggrieved applicants of the R350 social grant.

Hilda Mpofu gave birth to triplets (2 girls and 1 boy) at the hospital last week. She was then discharged without her children because they needed extra care. She was later she was told that 1 of her babies had died. Then, a shortwhile later she was told that it is the little boy who didn't make it. To add to her confusion, the hospital later told her that she in fact gave birth to 2 boys and 1 girl, NOT the other way around, and that is it the boy who died, even though according to Hilda's knowledge and initial birth papers she gave birth to 2 girls and 1 boy.

TheTakeOffInterview| Times are changing, and more and more people opt for less traditional forms of relationships. Many South Africans choose to walk down the aisle and get married, but others prefer to live together as “life partners” instead. While shacking up together has become more socially acceptable, it’s essential to understand the legal implications of choosing to cohabitate, especially where a couple co-owns property, shares debts and other financial obligations or have kids together.

The High Court in Pretoria ruled yesterday that the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma has 14 days to formulate changes to the regulations. In the meantime, the current lockdown regulations will still apply. The judgment said the regulations "in a substantial number of instances are not rationally connected to the objectives of slowing the rate of infection or limiting the spread" of Covid-19. The judgment said the government has not produced any bona fide evidence that its means of enforcing the lockdown are "justifiable", and they can therefore be deemed arbitrary and unlawful. The lockdown regulations go against rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights, the judgment says.
INTERVIEW: The back-to-school debate rages on as a last-minute announcement by the national education department delayed the reopening of schools by another week. Teacher unions and school governing bodies said schools were not ready to teach in a safe environment.

AVIATION UPDATE with Phuthego Mojapele,
Firstly what’s the latest coming out of SAA?
A report which was tabled in parliament recently showed that only 7% of black people are licensed aviators. What’s stopping transformation in the aviation sector?
What suggestions were put forward to change this?
Lastly remind us of the travel regulations during level 3 and will this be profitable for airlines?
Background info:
Data provided by the Civil Aviation Authority shows that the vast majority of pilots in the country are white (89.2%).
By comparison, just 7.1% of pilots are black South Africans, while coloured and Indian pilots make up a combined 3%.
One suggestion was to reduce the fees for pilot training, which would make it more accessible to previously disadvantaged groups of people.
Pilots licence can be prohibitively expensive for ordinary South Africans and may act as a financial barrier for many black pilots looking to enter the aviation sector.
INTERVIEW: Grades 7s and matrics are now expected back at school next Monday after the resumption of teaching and learning was postponed. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga said she has instructed provinces to use this week to finalise the delivery of personal protective equipment and outstanding provision of water and sanitation to schools. We now speak to Basil Manuel, Executive Director of Teacher Union Naptosa.
