Weekend Breakfast with Sara-Jayne Makwala King

Africa Melane talks to Lorenzo Davids CEO Community Chest

Over the last few weeks we have read and heard about how the Cape flats has been
ripped apart by gang violence.
One way to give children hope, to break out of that cycle of violence is an investment in

In the last week, six schools based on the Flats were the recipients of much-needed
bursaries.

Africa Melane talks to Dr Anthonie Cilliers Lead Programme Manager: Nuclear Engineering, School of Mechanical & Nuclear Engineering, North West

The 17th annual African Utility Week is billed as "the only global meeting place,

Africa Melane talks to Dr Theuns Eloff Executive Director of the FW de Klerk Foundation

The words "national dialogue" have been tossed around over the last few weeks.
And when former president FW De Klerk added his voice to the call for such a national
conversation, it was met with criticism from some quarters of the opposition, including

Despite this, De Klerk has raised several pertinent points which he feels are crucial to
the current narrative of a South Africa burdened by corruption and a government
dragging its heels in delivering to the people.
