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. It concerns the alleged theft of a large sum of foreign currency from the private Game Farm of President Cyril Ramaphosa and the circumstances surrounding that incident. 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.

Covering undocumented migration demands more than surface-level questions. Why? Because much of the issue sits at the intersection of law, of economics, of human rights, and public sentiment. So we have to look at all sides. Questions around accountability, migrant realities, and community impact. So, how do you balance the needs of the local population, with those who find their way to this country for legitimate reasons? To unpack this issue we are joined by Home Affairs Deputy Minister, Njabulo Nzuza. We have a live studio audience with diverse views on the topic.

On Monday, South Africa marks the country's transition from the oppressive apartheid regime to a free democratic country, and in commemoration of the first democratic elections on the 27 April 1994 that gave birth to our constitutional democracy. But the question is, how much are we still carrying, from our past? Is part of the solution to know each other's cultural heritage, start understanding what makes the other person tick and by doing so, respecting each other. As South Africans, do you think we have a common heritage? What is it? How do we celebrate our 'South Africaness'? Freedom should mean emancipation from poverty, unemployment... But also racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination. To unpack this issue, we are joined virtually by Prof Armand Bam who is the Head of Social Impact and Postgraduate Diploma Leadership Development for NPOs at Stellenbosch Business School. We also have Asanda Ngoasheng who is a Political Analyst, academic and diversity expert. The live studio also weighs in.

Julius Malema's gun discharge case - very much still in the spotlight. Lawyers for the Economic Freedom Fighters' leader say they are confident that the five-year imprisonment sentence he was handed will be overturned in the appeal process in the higher courts. You'll remember that Malema was granted leave to appeal his sentence but the court denied leave to appeal the conviction. The EFF maintains that this case has been pursued in a highly politicised environment. The National Prosecuting Authority has also put out a statement noting with concern the circulation of content on a social media, in which statements contain serious threats directed at a Prosecutor involved in a matter. They say they strongly condemns any form of intimidation or threats against its prosecutors. So, this week we ask - As the Julius Malema firearm case enters the appeal process, what stands out to you most about how it's being handled? To unpack this issue we are joined by Kaizer Kganyago who is the National Prosecuting Authority Spokesperson. Inam Kula is a member of the EFF Central Command Team.And Ebrahim Harvey is a Political Analyst and author. The studio audience also weigh in

Geordin Hill-Lewis served as Chief of Staff to former DA leaders Helen Zille and Mmusi Maimane. He was the youngest Member of Parliament when elected in 2011, at the age of 24. Now 39, he takes over the reins from John Steenhuisen as the new leader of the Democratic Alliance. The question now is: what does the future hold for the DA under Hill-Lewis’ leadership?

The Strait of Hormuz. A critical global chokepoint. Very much in sharp focus. Reporting this weekend... Iran authorising the passage of vessels carrying essential goods to its ports through the Strait. This is according to a letter cited by Iran's Tasnim news agency. The reporting goes on to say the letter indicates that ships heading to Iranian ports, including those currently in the Gulf of Oman, must coordinate with authorities and comply with established protocols to transit the strait. How consequential will this be? It normally carries about a fifth of the world's total oil trade. So, as fuel and food prices rise amidst the ongoing war on Iran, how are you adjusting your spending and what interventions do you expect from government to ease the pressure? To unpack this we are joined by Prof Patrick Bond (Political Economist from the University of Johannesburg), Thembisa Fakude who is a Senior Research Fellow and Director at Africa Asia Dialogues, and Social Commentator Donovan Williams. We also take your calls.
