Africa Melane talks to Morne Du Plessis WWF SA CEO
We have heard the term junk status tossed about over the last few months to refer to
SA's credit rating status. But the good folks at the WWF are putting a new spin on the term and asking "What is YOUR junk status?" when it comes to conservation efforts.
During the Living Planet Conference (LPC) set for 27 July, WWF South Africa will bring
together experts in the food, energy and water sectors to share solutions when it comes to waste.
We are unknowingly part of this massive global crisis – our landfills piling up, food
waste filling our dustbin, good drinking water going down the drain and perfect South
African sunshine going to waste.

Africa Melane talks to Dorothy Dyer Fundza Literacy Specialist
In this digital age, getting kids to read and interested in libraries is not always easy.
But the good people at the FunDza Literacy Trust are not only getting young South
Africans reading, they are winning awards for their sterling efforts.
The organisation has been selected as the inaugural recipient of The Joy of Reading
Award 2017 because of a groundbreaking initiative that allows people to "read" on their phones or other devices connected to the internet.
Africa Melane talks to Nicole Jennings
IN a first for the continent, health care practitioners including doctors and nurses will
now be trained to offer patients potentially lifesaving advice when it comes to altering
their lifestyles to avoid chronic illness.
The initiative is called "Brief Behavioural Change Counselling."
And it is already popular in Australia, Canada and the USA, but has never been
implemented in Africa.
