Why South Africa Is Returning Land To Its Citizens - Episode #188

In Today's Weekly Roundup:  South Africa’s land reform debate is back in motion - this time with more than 17,000 hectares in KZN handed back to communities nearly three decades after they were removed, raising the same unresolved question: how do you know when restitution is actually done? That tension carries through elsewhere. Government’s lifestyle audits are getting better at spotting officials living beyond their means, but still struggling to act when it counts. Higher education is shifting from theory to real-world skills, with Unisa buying a full airfield to train students in industries where experience matters as much as a degree. And on the roads, enforcement is tightening ahead of Easter, with fines now tracked across systems - meaning old tickets don’t stay buried for long. Plus, just across the border, a once-rich diamond town has been slowly swallowed by the desert - a reminder that even booming systems don’t last forever.More From Us:⁠Whatsapp Channel⁠ ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠Apple Podcast⁠
