Weekend Breakfast with Sara-Jayne Makwala King

Abongile Nzelenzele talks to Dr Gillian Moody

A few weeks ago my colleague Africa Melane sparked a conversation on young adults still living with their parents.
We had some listeners say they don't mind having their children at home till into their
twenties because it means they can become more financially stable, before moving out of the house. Other parents rejected this notion saying the earlier a young person can stand on their own two feet, the better.

Abongile Nzelenzele talks to Irfaan Abrahams

rfaan Abrahams seems to have endless energy. And even during the month of
Ramadaan while he and the members of his organisation were fasting, they took time out to help and feed scores of people.
Irfaan and his team have become a common and welcome face on the Cape Flats,
feeding the hungry and homeless who have no one to care for them.
The project started off with a few friends who loved running. And during their training
they would always come across the less fortunate and those in need. So they decided to do something about it and now they are a well established institution.

It is an undeniable fact that education forms the basis of any child's healthy upbringing. So it is heartbreaking that in this day and age, that that precious education is often jeopardised by a completely natural cycle of life for young girls.
Studies show that teenage girls, between the ages of 12 and 18, living in poverty in
urban and rural areas can lose up to a fifth of their high school education because they do not have access to feminine hygiene products – and are too embarrassed to attend school during their menstrual period.

Abongile Nzelenzele talks to Michael Kransdorff chief economist and co-founder of My Treasury

Michael has found that middle class families are being squeezed by ‘double taxation’
He says South Africa’s upper middle class are under substantial financial pressure as

for services which their taxes should provide.
