Africa Melane talks to Siphokazi Ndudane 

Hout Bay has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons this last week.
Boats in the harbour have been attacked, with protestors firing flare guns at police trying to bring their protests under control. In the ensuing violence that saw roads barricaded and running street battles with cops in riot gear, a teen was shot in the mouth with rubber bullets and officers were also left injured.

Africa Melane talks to Charl Blignaut

(This is Charl Blignaut's take on Inxeba - The Wound as published in City Press.)

There’s a scene, right near the start of Inxeba, where childhood friends Xolani (Nakhane
Touré) and Vija (Bongile Mantsai) meet one another again after a year apart and they
have sex. It’s initiation season and they are caregivers, this year looking after four
initiates between them.

Africa Melane talks to Refilwe Moloto

Africa Melane talks to Xolisa Phillip | Business Day news editor

EFF and DA enjoy a rather prickly relationship just so they can keep the ANC from their
reins of power.

Africa Melane talks to Lumka Madolo | Monitoring and evaluation for WWF SA’s Water Balance Programme

In a City where water is such a scarece resource, you will be shocked to know that the
total estimate of national water lost to alien invasive plants equals 1.4 trillion litres.
That amount of water could fill the Theewaterskloof dam THREE times.
And this is why a groundbreaking project in the Riviersonderend area is so critical.
The WWF South Africa’s Water Balance Programme team initiated invasive alien
clearing in the Riviersonderend catchment in 2014.
