Recent episodes include "The government is looking at early retirement and voluntary exit packages for teachers in a bid to save billions of rands. According to IOL, the Department of Basic Education could save an estimated R4.4 billion a year. But at what cost? Could losing experienced teachers put even more pressure on an already stretched education system? And where will the replacements come from?" (26 October 2026, 9 minutes), "A landmark judgment from the Supreme Court of Appeal has sent a strong message to the government: cultural considerations cannot be used to unlawfully interfere in adoptions. Five judges have criticised the national and Gauteng Departments of Social Development over interference that reportedly delayed at least two adoptions." (26 October 2026, 22 minutes), and "Should alcohol sales at bars, restaurants and shebeens stop at midnight? The DG Murray Trust thinks so, arguing that late-night alcohol sales could be fuelling binge-drinking and worsening alcohol-related health problems in South Africa." (26 October 2026, 21 minutes).
