Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Corporates That Care: Dotsure
Q: Tell us why you are a corporate that cares.
We are a purpose led business driven to make a difference for communities, customers, and all stakeholders; our philosophy of 'soft landings' guides how we support people and animals, especially during emergencies, through actions like sterilization drives and long-running food packing programs supported by staff volunteering.
Celebrating Africa through music, art and culture
Q: What does it mean for you to connect Venda heritage with a continental audience?
It means asserting identity and representation while inviting others to feel the music even if they don't understand the lyrics, through emotion and shared experience.
Celebrating Africa through music, art and culture
Q: Good morning, how are you?
I'm excited and grateful, happy to be on the show and share the anticipation for the performance.
South Africa’s “No Vote” problem
Q: What's the point of voting if nothing seems to change in local government?
The guest explains that voting is about choosing individuals who will represent your interests and ensure essential services, and emphasizes evaluating a candidate's capacity and track record, not just personal appeal.
RAF wants more from motorists, but will more money fix the fund?
Q: What is the core problem with the RAF that makes further funding through the fuel levy appear risky?
The fund is mismanaged with inflated salary bills and weak systems, which means more money will just prop up the failing structure rather than fix it; governance and operational reforms are needed first.
