- Lose if you must.
But do not disappear.
Bafana Bafana’s World Cup opener left South Africans angry because the issue was not only the result. It was the absence of visible fight, urgency and pride in the national colours.
“Don’t die wondering” is the line that sums it up.

- Wat gebeur wanneer een week vir Suid-Afrika politieke protokol, Wêreldbeker-teleurstelling en ’n hofvraag gee wat nie wil weggaan nie?
In hierdie episode van Wat Sê Die Nuus begin Barron Hufkie en Louise Ferreira in KwaZulu-Natal, waar ’n DA-afvaardiging die Zoeloe-koning besoek het. Louise verduidelik hoekom die besoek saak maak, hoekom politieke partye aandag gee aan tradisionele leierskap, en hoe ’n geskenk van beeste ’n kulturele en politieke gesprekspunt geword het.
Die gesprek beweeg dan na die verkiesingsjaar-konteks. Met die plaaslike verkiesing wat voorlê, kyk Barron na hoekom KZN een van die provinsies bly waar politieke partye ’n groot indruk wil maak, en hoekom koalisiepolitiek hierdie verhoudings nog belangriker maak.
Daarna draai die aanbieders na Bafana Bafana se moeilike Wêreldbeker-openingswedstryd teen Mexiko. Barron bespreek die frustrasie oor die vertoning en die verdedigende wedstrydplan, terwyl Louise luisteraar...

- Description
- Bafana Bafana walked onto the World Cup stage against Mexico, and South Africans were left with more anger than answers.
Thabiso Sithole and Vata Ngobeni unpack a performance they describe as disastrous, soulless and far below what the national colours demand. The conversation starts with the emotional blow of the match, but quickly moves into the deeper questions: did Bafana lack heart, did Hugo Broos get the tactics wrong, and are the players beginning to mirror the wider dysfunction around SAFA?
The hosts also examine why African support for South Africa was not automatic, with some fans of African descent backing Mexico instead. That opens a bigger conversation about how South Africa is seen on the continent.
Beyond Bafana, the episode looks at FIFA’s access problem through the Omar Artan controversy, visa issues, fans reportedly being turned away, and the growing argument that this World Cup is already in trouble.

- AI is already part of the workplace. The question is no longer whether people will use it, but whether they will know how to use it well.
Gareth Edwards speaks to Daniela Thom, Head of Client and Talent Experience at Strider Digital, about artificial intelligence, job fears and the changing meaning of workplace competence.
Thom argues that AI is not simply replacing people. It is changing the baseline. In some industries, workers may need more than a qualification or technical knowledge. They need to show how they can use AI to improve output while still bringing human judgement, critical thinking and real experience.
The conversation also explores why AI tools should not be treated as automatic truth machines. They can help draft, summarise and generate ideas, but their answers still need to be checked, questioned and evaluated.

- 12 million is today’s Number of the Day.
South Africa’s unemployment crisis is often discussed as a percentage, but Gareth Edwards and Francis Herd look at the human scale behind the statistic.
Francis explains that the official unemployment number only counts people who are unemployed and actively looking for work. That figure is already above 8 million. But when discouraged workers are included, people who want to work but have stopped looking, the number moves closer to 12 million.
The episode’s starkest comparison comes through the Altron FinTech Household Resilience Index: about 12.1 million people are formally employed, while around 12 million South Africans are unemployed. In simple terms, the country has almost as many people outside work as it has people formally employed.
Gareth and Francis also unpack what this means for households. Higher interest rates, fuel costs, debt repayments and salaries that are not keeping u...

- Description
- A 15-year-old girl celebrates her birthday on Friday. By Sunday, she is dead.
In this episode of Anchor Point, Jenna-Leigh Bilong reflects on the death of Nikita Finch, a teenager killed after being caught in gang crossfire while coming home from a youth gathering.
Jenna does not treat Nikita as just another headline. She asks what it means when a child with dreams of becoming a social worker becomes another name in South Africa’s long story of gun violence, gang violence and community trauma.
The episode looks beyond the immediate shock of one death and asks a harder question: why do political statements, police investigations and arrests so often become the end of the conversation? If children are growing up inside violence they did not create, did not ask for and cannot escape, accountability must go further.
Who answers for Nikita Finch? And what will South Africa do differently before there is another empty seat in another clas...

- 55% is today’s Number of the Day.
Spar Group’s headline profits are down 55%, and Gareth Edwards and Francis Herd unpack why this is not just a bad number on a results sheet.
Francis explains how Spar’s troubles have been building through a series of operational problems, including the failed KwaZulu-Natal distribution system that was meant to make stock delivery more efficient. Instead, the system let retailers down, frustrated customers and opened the door for competitors.
The conversation also looks at Spar’s thin margins, rising costs and the pressure of Black Friday promotions. More sales do not automatically mean stronger profits when discounts cut too deep and the expected boom does not arrive.
But Spar is now trying to reset. The new CEO says the problems are internal, operational and fixable, with a target to rebuild operating margins toward 3% by 2028.
55% is the profit shock.
