The need for housing in this City is an issue that often boils over into violent protests, like we have seen in Hout Bay recently.

Chances are that in the last 24 hours, or perhaps even right now, you are in a petrol or diesel vehicle or have used one.Well, can you imagine a City without any petrol or diesel cars? Not having to breathe in any offensive fumes or queue at petrol stations when the diesel or petrol price rises or falls?Well, there is a global push in that direction.France will end sales of petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040 to meet its commitment to the Paris climate accord.

Africa Melane talks to Other Dr Stott 

Let’s start by asking: do you sometimes feel isolated, cut off from those around you? Or do you find that you can’t sleep or perhaps you want to just stay in that state of sleep and not get out of bed? Or do you feel your problems are so overwhelming you try to drink them away?
Well, these symptoms affect more South Africans than you may think.
And according to our next guest, these could be the first signs of mental illness.
A report from the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cape Town (UCT),(from 2004-2014) states that one-third of the South African population suffers from some form of mental illness. What is even more surprising is that 75% of these sufferers do NOT get the appropriate help.

Africa Melane talks to Alan Goldberg Director Of Education at Digicape 

KEY QUOTE FROM GOLDBERG
"In a nutshell, for the potential of technology in South Africa to be fully realised, the
state and education system need to formally buy in to its potential and invest in teacher training programmes. Adequate funding for its adoption and advancement in schools – starting with those whose students are primarily from previously disadvantaged backgrounds – needs to be allocated. It also requires effective safeguarding of devices, particularly in communities prone to crime."

Chances are that you have in some way been affected by cable theft in this city.
Perhaps you have missed a train, or been late for work or an appointment because of
cable thieves. Or perhaps your telephone line is disconnected because of thieves
making off with Telkom wiring.(Telkom lost over R200 million during the 2015 financial
year, due to copper cable theft.) There have been proposals to shut scrapyards dealing in stolen cables and copper and even to ban the export of copper, stripped from wiring.

Africa Melane talks to Elton Daniels

Elton is South Africa’s number one Action Cricket Umpire.
The invitation to act as umpire was on the basis that travel to and from Dubai would be
self-funded, which prompted Elton to get in touch with the Val de Vie Foundation.
The Foundation then approached Hope through Action and Valley of Abundance to
jointly assist and within 24 hours, had collected enough funds to pay for Elton's trip.
