Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit

Instead of a lounge, we’re in the garage of Lyle Solomon, a Namibian-born medical nanotech graduate who traded lab work for lights, mics, and media production. Here, he built the Gen C podcast studio with his friends, handling all the sound, post-production, and social media. Lyle met Rizaan Rose at UWC, now 31 and a programme manager at The Tomorrow Trust, uplifting underprivileged learners. Rizaan co-hosts Gen C with lifelong friend JP Jackson, 30, a Chartered Accountant, finance manager, husband, and father. We join them in their creative hub to talk friendship, passion projects, and building something from the ground up.

Dr Morné du Plessis, CEO of WWF South Africa, spoke to Lester Kiewit about the organisation’s strong opposition to a new application by Kropz, a mining company owned by African Rainbow Capital, to mine phosphate inside the boundaries of the West Coast National Park. WWF warned that allowing mining in a national park sets a dangerous precedent and threatens irreplaceable biodiversity. The interview unpacked the legal battle already underway over Kropz’s failure to implement previous environmental offset conditions, and why WWF believes this latest move must be firmly rejected.
