#THETAKEOVER

Dan Moyane is in conversation with Dr Kingsley Makhubela and they’re talking about the risks that South Africa is faced with in 2023 and in the near future.

Title:  Kingsley Makhubela 

During the apartheid era in South Africa, Nigeria was one of the foremost supporters of anti-apartheid movements, including the African National Congress; the Nigerian government issued more than 300 passports to South Africans seeking to travel abroad.

With change and the advent of democracy, a lot has changed between the two countries. Improvements in business and trade and a decay in social relations.

Let’s talk about our relationship with Nigeria.

Guest :  Mr. H.E. HM Manta Nigeria’s High Commissioner to South Africa

Desperate South Africans have fallen victim to solar energy scams, according to the SA Banking Risk Information Centre. And according to the Institute for Security Studies, there has also been an increase in house burglaries and robberies during load shedding.

According to Sabric CEO Nischal Mewalall, the impact of load shedding on the banking industry had been an area of specific focus and planning for quite a while. He says what happens with load shedding has direct implications on the way a bank or the way an entire industry manages risks.

#HealthOnMonday:   Support group Therapy

Guest: MS Krystle Kemp, SADAG Support Group Co-ordinator

Sadag, the South African Depression and Anxiety Group, is celebrating their third annual Support Group Awareness Week from today until Friday the 27th of January 2023. Their Support Group offering is very close to the work that they do, as Support Groups were the core of where it all began for SADAG.

SADAG Founder and Director, Zane Wilson, following her own experience with years of undiagnosed panic disorder, realised how stigmatised Mental Illness was in South Africa and how little help and support was available to sufferers and loved ones. She decided to start a Support Group, which then became what is now known as the “The South African Depression and Anxiety Group”. Fast forward 28 years, and now SADAG proudly hosts over 160 Free Support Groups nationwide.

Support groups have become popular in the past couple of decades and the focus has shifted from mental illness alone. The group dynamic often helps people feel supported as they move forward. Whether your goal is growth, improving social skills, or something else, group therapy could help you achieve it.

#Enviro - The impact of technology on the agricultural sector in Kenya

Digital agricultural services have proliferated across Africa over the last decade. Most are services that work on mobile phones, although more advanced technologies are in use too – like satellite images, sensors, blockchains and big data analytics.

Kenya is at the forefront of this development in Africa. The country is home to numerous service providers that seek to solve problems in food and agriculture using digital technologies.  But scaling up these solutions remains a challenge. A study on digital agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa showed that only a few service providers managed to register more than one million users. In Kenya, it’s estimated that only 20% to 30% of farmers use a digital agricultural solution. This is better than other countries in the region – but still low.

– #TheTakeover

Is there hope, in today’s South Africa, for a restorative counter- narrative that speaks of this

country and its potential from a place of celebration and not of pain?

For the climate justice colleague in the room - If we were to picture South Africa as a frozen sea, what would you say is the axe we need to begin the work of breaking the ice?
