Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gauteng losing 100 nurses a month as public healthcare comes under pressure
Q: How many nurses are we losing?
The department couldn't provide a precise, current figure at that moment, but confirmed there is a shortage due to not filling positions and lifting the moratorium on clinical posts; efforts are ongoing to advertise, interview, shortlist, and fill those positions.
NCC moves to block spam calls as Opt-Out Registry takes shape
Q: All right. So, I mean, you typically are talking about your big tech companies now... am I correct there, Phetho, or am I misreading you?
The NCC is not limiting to big tech; they are seeking proposals from a broad range of innovative local companies that can deliver the required capabilities and protect consumer information.
NCC moves to block spam calls as Opt-Out Registry takes shape
Q: So you're looking essentially for technology partners to help you make the system work, I imagine, at scale.
Yes, they want partners who can deliver a scalable, robust portal experience, manage high traffic, and bring innovative solutions to ensure smooth operation from launch through ongoing use.
NCC moves to block spam calls as Opt-Out Registry takes shape
Q: Just tell me exactly what it is you are proposing and how you propose to do it.
The NCC proposes an opt-out registry to allow consumers to halt unsolicited marketing calls, messages, and emails, and they are seeking technology partners to make the system accessible to millions of South Africans while ensuring compliance with consumer protection laws.
Five women dead in Kempton Park: Are police dealing with one killer or more?
Q: What challenges complicate determining whether cases are linked, especially after an initial suspect is arrested?
He notes that decomposition, discovery timing, and forensic results can mislead investigators about actual murder timelines, making it crucial to avoid assuming the order of discovery equals the order of murders.
