- South African sport has had a week full of pressure points.
The Proteas Women are out of the T20 World Cup after a semi-final defeat to England, and Thabiso Sithole and Vata Ngobeni ask whether South Africa missed a chance they should have taken. The conversation is respectful but honest: once a team becomes a contender, “nearly there” is no longer enough.
From there, Beyond Game Day moves into rugby, where the Springboks open the Nations Championship against England. The hosts ask whether the Boks should still be favourites, whether England are being underestimated, and whether the new competition has enough meaning to feel like a proper tournament.
The biggest debate comes through football. African nations had the talent, but did they have the game management and self-belief to go further at the FIFA World Cup? With Hugo Broos, SAFA and Rele Mofokeng’s move to Belgium in focus, the question becomes: who protects what Bafana have started bu...

In this episode of Making Sense, Gareth Edwards speaks to Matuba Mahlatjie, Media & Communications Officer at The Other Foundation, about LGBTQIA+ rights and xenophobia in South Africa.
The conversation is grounded in new research conducted by The Other Foundation with the Human Sciences Research Council, tracking how South Africans view LGBTI people over a ten-year period.
Matuba explains that there are signs of progress, including more South Africans saying they know someone who identifies as LGBTI. But Gareth asks why LGBTQIA+ issues still do not receive enough everyday attention in mainstream media and public life.
The episode also explores the link between xenophobia and hostility toward LGBTQIA+ people, especially when someone is targeted for more than one identity.
