Bongani Bingwa speaks to Mbali Ntuli, founder and CEO of the Ground Work Collective, about understanding local government ahead of the 2026 Local Government Elections.

The conversation goes back to basics: what a ward councillor does, the roles of the mayor, Mayoral Committee and municipal council, and who is responsible when services such as water, refuse collection and road maintenance fail.

They also unpack where residents should take complaints, how communities can participate between elections, and how voters can hold their elected representatives accountable.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Guy Lamb, criminologist, political scientist, and commissioner on the National Planning Commission, about the state of policing in South Africa.

The discussion looks beyond the recent killings of women around Kempton Park, the KwaMakhutha mass shooting and the scrutiny facing senior police and government officials, to examine the wider challenges of violent crime, police leadership, resources, accountability and institutional culture.

They also unpack what repeated allegations and investigations involving the police mean for public trust, and whether South Africa’s policing system has the capacity to prevent and respond effectively to violent crime.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Chef Benny Masekwameng, executive chef and TV personality, about the connection between food, memory, culture and heritage.

The conversation explores how traditional dishes carry family stories and memories, and how South Africa’s diverse history has shaped the food we eat today through Indigenous, Khoisan, Indian, Asian, Portuguese and other cultural influences.

They also discuss how recipes and food traditions evolve, and whether busy modern lives and families living further apart are making it harder to pass these traditions on to the next generation.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Professor Boni Zungu, head of the School of Languages at the University of Johannesburg, about the role of language in preserving heritage and cultural identity.

As South Africans increasingly live in multilingual communities, languages continue to evolve through migration, urbanisation, and the influence of English.

The conversation explores whether language can change without losing its identity, and what it means for cultural heritage when younger generations become less fluent in their ancestral languages.
