Only this time, the struggle isn't just about access to classrooms... It's about access to opportunity in a digital world. So, how prepared are South Africa's youth for the opportunities and challenges of the AI era? To unpack this we have Dr Fulufhelo Nelwamondo who is an AI expert and former CEO of the South African National Research Foundation.

In this episode we focus on the devastating severe weather conditions that have swept across parts of South Africa, leaving a trail of destruction, claiming lives and displacing communities. The Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Velenkosini Hlabisa, is convening an intergovernmental committee on disaster management following deadly weather conditions that have affected six provinces. According to government, at least 18 lives have been lost, with the Western Cape recording the highest number of fatalities, while scores of residents have been left homeless and critical infrastructure severely damaged. As communities grapple with the aftermath, questions remain around disaster preparedness, emergency response and long-term solutions to climate-related disasters. Joining us to unpack the impact and response efforts are Jurgens Dyssel, Chief Director of Policy, Institutional Development and Compliance at the South African National Disaster Management Centre; Dr John Okedi, Civil Engineering and Water Resources Expert at the University of Cape Town; and Suzette Little, Community Activist and Former Ward Councillor in Athlone, Cape Town. We are also joined by callers from affected areas, sharing first-hand accounts of the devastation, response efforts and the realities communities are facing on the ground.

On Friday, the Constitutional Court handed down judgment in an application brought by the Economic Freedom Fighters and the African Transformation Movement regarding the Phala Phala controversy.

Three judgments were produced. The ruling revives the possibility of a full impeachment inquiry. President Cyril Ramaphosa says he respects the Constitutional Court's judgment and reaffirms his commitment to the Constitution and the independence of the Judiciary and the rule of law. So, what's your take on the possible impeachment process against President Cyril Ramaphosa? To help us unpack this issue, we have Constitutional Law Expert from the University of Limpopo, Adv Lufuno Nevondwe, and Dr Ongama Mtimka who is the Acting Director of the Raymond Mhlaba Centre for Governance and Leadership at the Nelson Mandela University. We also get to hear from our audience made up of people against and those in support of the Constitutional Court judgment.
