Thando came across a video of an American sharing his observations about South Africa, and some of the things he pointed out are so normal to us that we barely even notice them. So we want to know: what have tourists or visitors taught you about South Africa that you’d never really thought about before?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since Sunday, 26 July, the continent’s attention has turned to Morocco, where the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations is officially underway. The tournament has already produced its fair share of excitement, and last night it was South Africa’s turn to get its campaign underway. Banyana Banyana, the defending champions, suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Tanzania in their Group B opener; a result that few would have predicted, but one that certainly doesn’t put an end to their title defence. So, what exactly went wrong for Banyana last night? Were there tactical errors, lapses in execution, or simply a case of Tanzania taking their chances better? And perhaps more importantly, what needs to change before South Africa’s next outing? Football analyst Sizwe Mbebe joins us now to unpack the performance and assess whether Banyana Banyana can still mount a strong campaign.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What began with a delayed appearance after falling ill has become one of the Madlanga Commission’s most dramatic moments. Last week, Advocate Andrea Johnson, until yesterday the head of the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption, faced hours of relentless questioning as commissioners scrutinised her decisions and challenged parts of her evidence. Then came another dramatic twist: last night she resigned with immediate effect, and earlier today President Cyril Ramaphosa accepted her resignation, and today she returned to the witness stand to continue testifying under oath. So, what do we make of these extraordinary developments? To help us unpack them, we’re joined by Eyewitness News reporter Thabiso Goba, who’s been covering the commission closely.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
