Lunch with Pippa Hudson

Guest: Othmane Zolati

Moroccan national named Othmane Zolati  spent nearly 4 years travelling across our continent on foot, by hitchhiking, cycling and skateboarding. The story of why he did it and what he saw along the way has been turned into a really fun documentary film which will drop on Showmax this Thursday. It’s called “Africa and I”

The landmark case known as Booysen vs Dolley could have far-reaching consequences for South African women in particular, as it balances the right to free speech with the right of an accused to be considered innocent until proven guilty.

The Womxn’s Legal Centre has been given permission to join the case as an amicus curiae or friend of the court.  Advocate Bronwyn Pithey joins us to shed more light on the case.

Today we want to look at the issue of whether it is legal for employers to force their employees to be vaccinated against Covid-19.  We know the president has said multiple times that nobody will be forced to be vaccinated – but the reality is that some workplaces are already considering making it a requirement for continued employment.

Trade union federation Cosatu warned last week that while it supports vaccination and encourages workers to get the jab, employers don’t have the right to fire employees who refuse to get vaccinated.

The second part of our food segment today has been much delayed by lockdown regulations, but now that alcohol sales are open again, we can finally tip you off about a new exploration of wine and cheese pairing that is happening at popular Franschhoek vineyard Leopards Leap.  They’ve been in the kitchen playing around with different combinations and they’ve woven the best of them into their popular SA Table lunch experiences, which you can now enjoy once again.

There were a lot of Olympic moments that had me choking up this weekend, especially the team’s welcome to gold medallist Tatjana Schoenmaker as she returned to the Olympic Village on Friday night.

But another one came from much closer to home, as I watched surfers forming a guard of honour with their boards at George Airport, and a local choir singing their hearts out to welcome home the returning silver medallist Bianca Buitendag.
