One of the most injustices affecting thousands of South African families — the unlawful repossession of homes by major banks. Imagine waking up to find your house auctioned without your knowledge, and a stranger telling you to vacate — a painful reality for far too many citizens.

It is exactly 89 years since the establishment of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC). Following the establishment of the organisation on August 1, 1936, the SABC first broadcast services in English and Afrikaans, which were then the country’s official languages. Broadcasts in languages such as isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho and Setswana then followed in 1940.The first SABC News radio bulletin went live on the 17th of July 1950. Since then, the SABC introduced bulletins in all indigenous languages and current affairs shows for both radio and television, reaching millions of viewers.

Allegations of corruption, arrests, convictions for serious crimes, and disagreements among police officers are nothing new. With a criminal expert and SAPU representative in the studio, we ask the question: What action should President Ramaphosa take following Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi`s allegations?

On this episode on Asikhulume, we take a look at South Africa’s buckling public health system where chronic underfunding, staff shortages, and crumbling infrastructure are pushing hospitals to the brink. Rural clinics often lack basic amenities like running water and electricity, while urban hospitals struggle with power outages and overburdened staff. Protests over poor healthcare services are common, reflecting public frustration. We talk to a representative from the Department of Health as well as a Health Expert.

According to Statistics South Africa, half of all children in the country don’t live with their biological fathers. Very few of them have had a father to guide, support and encourage them. A father to show them right from wrong, and to demonstrate this in his own actions. And it’s not just about biological fathers, the young people I work with tend not to have positive male role models in their lives generally. The men they interact with often promote arrogant and chauvinistic behaviour as a minimum. In worst-case scenarios, they are misogynistic, abusive and violent. As we commemorate Youth Month, we put a special focus on the boy child. In South Africa, the "boy child" faces numerous challenges, particularly those related to social structures, economic conditions, and the absence of positive male role models. We had three guests to further unpack this Sthembiso Phakathi, Founder Single Dads Network, Lereko Mfono, the Fathers Matter Project Coordinator and Refiloe Mohale, GM of YouthStart Foundation and Executive Lead on What About The Boys.

49 years ago, on June 16, 1976, thousands of black South African students took to the streets of Soweto to protest against the oppressive apartheid regime, where their main fight was to change the status quo of the imposed Afrikaans language as a medium of instruction in black schools. Their fight was for quality education, freedom, and a future without racial segregation. Many were killed, but their courage paved the way for the democracy we have today. However, fast forward to 2025, today’s generation faces unemployment, GBV, crime and corruption. In today’s programme, we look at the battles today’s youth fight. Are they continuing the legacy of activism, or has the struggle shifted?
