In just a few hours the world's most expensive boxing match will take place.
The sport's unbeaten pound for pound champ, Floyd "Money" Mayweather is lacing up
his gloves to take on brash UFC fighter, Irishman, Connor McGregor.
And they are not fighting for a title. Instead the WBC has created The Money Belt, which will go to the winner. It is made of 1.5 kilograms of 24 karat gold; 3,360 diamonds, 600 sapphires, 160 emeralds and crocodile leather.
If PayPerView revenue for this fight is in line with the Mayweather-Pacquiao clash, the
fight purse is likely to be worth $300million, with total revenues at $700million.
Even the loser, will emerge a multi millionaire. But now to the practicalities of this fight: it is at the end of the day, a fight between a kick boxer and a traditional boxer.

Africa Melane talks to Rammolotsi Sothoane Events Co-ordinator : Rammolotsi Sothoane:

As Womens Month draws to a close we are once again in danger of falling into an all
too common trap. And that is that when the banners are taken down, and the hashtags are no longer trending, we forget about important issues that women in this country face on a daily basis. With this in mind, on Thursday past, ACTIVATE! Change Drivers, along with Africa Unite and the Institute of Justice and Reconciliation convened the A! Gender Based Violence Imbizo in Cape Town.
The idea being to engage with social activists, experts and practitioners within the
sexual health and gender rights sector on addressing the challenge of gender-based
violence. We may have one of the most progressive constitutions in the world, yet there are far too many citizens who are violently and mentally abused simply because of their sexuality.

Africa Melane talks to Prof Sitwala Imenda from the Teachers’ Union (Natu)

If you have kids in school or are concerned about the horrific images of school violence that seem to regularly make the headlines, then you need to stay tuned.
Our next guest has done a groundbreaking survey amongst teachers and found that
many of them are extremely worried about the levels of ill-discipline and violence in
their classrooms and on their playgrounds.
And these teachers are saying: “give us an alternate to corporal punishment”.
Professor Sitwala Imenda is the head of the National Teachers’ Union (Natu) and he
conducted the research where educators were asked to list the top 10 challenges they
face.
