The world rallied around Ukrainians suffering at the hands of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. While countless people are trying to flee Ukraine for safety, many black people are help at borders and refused entry into neighbouring countries, such as Poland. Many black people are denied assistance and refused entry onto trains.
While this is going on, major western media outfits are reporting on the war with overt racism.
This begs the question - Should black people be in solidarity with Ukrainians while Ukrainians are being overtly and dangerously racist towards black people stuck in Ukraine.
My guest Athi-nangamso Nkopo joins me to discuss this.

The alcohol industry, and the beer economy, in particular, is an incredibly complex and important value chain that has been adversely impacted by the pandemic and the consequent alcohol bans. The industry is in recovery mode and the budget speech laying out the excise increases on the industry plays an important role in that recovery story.
In this episode, I speak to Economist and Excise Specialist at South African Breweries, Fatsani Banda about Minister Enoch Godogwana's recent budget speech to determine the impact it will have on the industry, but also to get an understanding from Fatsani about the Beer Economy.

The four short-listed candidates for the position of our next Chief Justice of the Constitional Court will be interviewed at the start of February. They are; Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, Judge President Mandisa Maya, and Judge President Dustan Mlambo.
This is clearly a very important position to hold in the State, but what powers, exactly, does a Chief Justice have? How are they appointed? Should we, as ordinary citizens, get to vote for the Chief Justice?
I explore these questions on this episode with my guest Dan Mafora of CASAC. Dan is also a teaching assistant at the University of Cape Town and a former clerk of the Constitutional Court.

Minister Lindiwe Sisulu wrote an opinion piece criticising (read: insulting) the judiciary as judges. Feeling aggrieved by this, Acting Chief Justice Raymond Zondo called a press briefing where he condemned Minister Sisulu and asked her to retract her statement and apologise.
What did Lindiwe Sisulu say? What is at play? Should ACJ Zondo respond to her in the way he has, or at all?
