- Description
- A social compact, led by Primestars and the YouthStart Foundation in collaboration with organisationsincluding Seriti, Sasol, Markham, the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund, Chieta and Love Life, is launching South Africa’s first national preventative GBVF programme called “What About the Boys?”.
On 30 June 2022, What About the Boys? will officially be introduced to the nation. The main objective of the event is to announce the programme, its objectives, the participating stakeholders and the rollout plan to the business fraternity, government and mainstream media. The event will spark the road to the official kick-off of the programme across South Africa on 13 August 2022 (in line with Women’s month). The event will highlight the urgency of implementing a new approach to gender-based violence by intentionally focusing on the perpetrator as opposed to placing most responsibility on the victims of GBVF by RAISING A NATION OF GOOD MEN.

- During the second webinar, we ask our speakers to reflect on the events held at the #cocreateIDENTITY Experience in Cape Town from 4 to 6 June 2022 which focused on delving deeper into questions surrounding identity. We will also take this opportunity to look to the future and discuss how we can make the transition from diversity to inclusion. How do we ensure individuals feel welcome and seen in a space, especially if that space seems hostile to them? What does it take to foster a sense of belonging? Each individual brings their own experience, identity and worldview and we want to discuss how we can accept and celebrate diversity going forward.
The panelists hold different positions but all use their respective platforms to help make the world more inclusive. Marlene le Roux, CEO of Artscape Theatre, promotes inclusive programming and is a disability activist.

- Description
- Youth drinking is already a challenge in South Africa. Now the government is proposing that schools be allowed to serve or sell alcohol at schools and school events for fund-raising purposes.
What is the impact of youth drinking on our communities? How can we keep our schools alcohol free? And can we ensure that any changes to legislation work to reduce alcohol consumption, not fuel it? The Southern Africa Alcohol Policy Alliance South Africa (SAAPA) discussed this in a webinar hosted by the Mail & Guardian. Speakers were Professor Neo Morojele, Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Johannesburg; Shaheda Omar, Clinical Director at the Teddy Bear Clinic for Abused Children; Jane Borman, Parliamentary Researcher for Equal Education; and Reverend Tsepo Matubatuba, Community Activist. The webinar was moderated by journalist Pontsho Pilane.

- Description
- Zambia’s President Hakainde Hichilema achieved a historic electoral victory in August 2021. Since then, he has faced a range of economic, social and political challenges predicted to hold the country back from achieving its developmental goals. His assumption of Zambia's highest office and his government securing a deal with the IMF have helped increase investor confidence in Zambia. This has occurred against the backdrop of growing global demand for copper, which presents several opportunities for the country because of its importance in the energy transition and the current lack of available substitutes. If Zambia’s development is to be safeguarded, however, it cannot be a “business as usual” approach with mere piecemeal reforms. The country urgently needs a major shift to ensure that it can successfully master the structural and policy challenges that beset it to anticipate and respond to present and future challenges effectively.

COP26 (delayed by a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic) has a unique urgency and could prove to be one of the most important conferences of our time. Most experts agree that the window for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees is rapidly closing, and the decade out to 2030 will be the most critical to achieving this target. Africa contributes just 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions yet is shouldered with the greatest burden in transitioning to low carbon economies and is the most vulnerable to climate shocks.

- Description
- The Auditor-General’s reports of the last decade have painted a rather grim picture of deteriorating governance at local government level. Municipalities are increasingly racking up huge bills in unauthorised and wasteful expenditure, failing to submit documents required for auditing on time or not at all. The AG’s reports have increasingly hammered on the issue of a lack of accountability for misuse of public funds.
The SA Local Government Authority has highlighted that at least 66% of councillors have no post-matric qualification as one of the major reasons behind poor governance. However, corruption, party political patronage, and lack of capacity have been highlighted as some of the major reasons for poor performance by municipalities. There has been a change in legislation that gives the AG new powers to go after those implicated in corruption. But will this change anything?

- The disruption caused by the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 or Covid-19 global pandemic was an unforeseen stumbling block for the developments made towards gender equality, professional economic parity, Inclusion & transformation, the reduction or eradication of gender-based violence and femicide and the economic empowerment of Africa’s women. While the world struggled to flatten the curve and reduce the rate of infection, a new socio-cultural dynamic took a different form, further complicating the nature of work for women/caregivers.
We are reminded that globally, women represent 70 per cent of the health and social sector workforce, and that on average, women do three times as much unpaid care and domestic work as men. This has long-term consequences for their economic security and overall well-being.
Traditionally, family-based work roles remain largely in the female domain with female members of most families being expected to factor in time to execute thei...

- (SPONSORED) Stream #FiveTiger on Showmax. It will leave a lasting impression on audiences as it feels uncomfortably realistic in South Africa. It’s a story of a young woman struggling to support her sickly husband and child. She enters into a sexual transactional relationship with her church leader to make ends meet. The film explores themes of religion and patriarchy, and how these two things can intersect to create toxic, exploitative power structures.

- (SPONSORED) Stream #Freaky on Showmax. The slasher/comedy film will have you hiding under the covers and laughing at the same time. The plot revolves around a teenage girl, Milly (played by Kathryn Newton), and a serial killer, The Butcher, (Vince Vaughan), who, with the help of some voodoo, swap bodies. It’s bound to be a hit with today’s teenagers, with enough of a storyline to keep adults hooked till the end, too

- (SPONSORED) Stream #Parasite on Showmax. Parasite, the multiple-award winning South Korean satire, thriller, black comedy and horror all rolled into one, co-written and directed by Bong Joon-ho, is a cinematic achievement that will go down in history as one of the greatest films of the last decade – possibly longer. It is truly an exceptional, well-crafted, intelligent masterpiece, period. This is a must watch!
