Officials suspect it may have been attacked by an animal roaming the streets.

With less than 4 weeks to go until election day, party manifestos have been launched, candidate lists finalised and published, and posters are starting to go up all over town.  The decision not to delay the polls caught most parties by surprise, so it’s been a bit of a rush job for everyone, as can be seen in the chaos around finalising candidate lists and the ongoing arguments over the ballot paper itself.

Now over the next few weeks, we’re going to touch base each Wednesday with one of our Eyewitness News Reporters for some insight into the specific areas they’ve been covering and the key issues that are likely to influence voting in those parts of Cape Town.  But we thought we’d start with a slightly bigger picture view of what is at stake in our key listenership areas here in the Western Cape.

Cape Town editor for Eyewitness News Charlotte Kilbane joins Pippa to chat about some of the key figures and issues that are likely to play a big role leading up to 1 November.

Some of the world’s top advertising creatives will be descending on Cape Town later this month, as the city plays host to the annual Loeries Creative Week and the acclaimed Loeries Awards.  The event recognises excellence in many forms of advertising and marketing, and this year our own Primedia Broadcasting is delighted to be an official partner on the Radio and Audio category.

As a commercial station, we depend on radio advertising to stay on air – but it can be a love/hate relationship at times because a poorly crafted advert can be an unwelcome interruption, an irritation, or even worse, a reason to switch off.  On the other hand, great advertising fits seamlessly into a show, makes listeners smile or laugh or think or take an interest, and most importantly, keeps them tuned in for moe.

We far prefer the latter, which is why we’re joining hand with the Loeries for this important category. 

Guest: Loeries CEO, Preetesh Sewraj.

Today is World Teacher’s Day, a day for recognising and expressing gratitude to the men and women who we entrust with our children’s education. But it’s also a day to remember that teaching itself is a process of ongoing learning -  especially in the age of digital technology, where students are interacting in spaces that many teaches have never personally navigated.  How do you guide your students through safe use of their devices and the online world, if you yourself aren’t that familiar with them?

Well thankfully there are people out there who are prepared to take the time to teach the teachers, and my guest today is one of them.

Guest: Dean McCoubrey | The founder of MySocialLife, a business that offers online safety and digital life skills courses. They’ve just launched a brand new program aimed specifically at helping teachers to improve their awareness of digital platforms and the risks that come with them.
