The Best of Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa

Bongani Bingwa speaks with Minister of Health Dr Aaron Motsoaledi following Tiger Brands' long-awaited settlement in the class-action lawsuit linked to the 2017–2018 listeriosis outbreak. The crisis, which claimed 218 lives and affected over 1,000 individuals, was traced to the Enterprise Foods facility in Polokwane. For survivors and bereaved families, the resolution brings some closure but not without a legacy of grief, medical hardship, and unresolved trauma. Among the most harrowing cases was that of six-year-old Theto Ngobeni, whose health complications and emotional suffering remain a tragic emblem of the outbreak's toll.

Bongani Bingwa speaks with Gladys Bogoshi, CEO of Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Hospital, amid troubling reports of severe food shortages and a loss of hot water at the once-prestigious facility. Anonymous whistleblowers describe a dire situation: patients taking medication on empty stomachs, relying on family members for food, and entire wards going without basics like protein, vegetables, tea, or sugar. To make matters worse, some doctors have reportedly not been paid for their services, deepening the crisis.
