Is Data the new Gold?

As the 4th Industrial Revolution beckons, wealth and power are no longer defined by access to natural resources, but by access to data and the ability to analyse and use it. This has major implications for individuals, entire nations and the continents at large as companies like Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google increasingly become more dominant in the affairs of the world than some nations. Andrew and Rori are joined by Bosun Tijani, CEO of Co-Creation Hub and author, Uri Bram, to understand how the control of data will impact our lives and geo-politics in general around the world. www.cliffcentral.com

Beyond The Guptas: What South Africa Should Be Focusing On

It appears that beyond capturing the state, the Guptas have successfully managed to capture the collective attention of the whole country. In a time when the Guptas seem to be all we ever talk about, Andrew and Rori speak to Luke Jordan (CEO, Grassroot) who believes that in obsessing about the Guptas as we do, we are removing our eyes off some other very important issues that also deserve as much, if not more attention than the Guptas. www.cliffcentral.com

Should South Africa Have An Early Election?

Without skipping a beat, following the failure of the eighth vote of no confidence on President Jacob Zuma, the Democratic Alliance announced that it would be mounting yet another attempt to have the president removed by filing a motion for parliament to be dissolved and an early "emergency" election to be called within 3 months. The EFF has called this move disingenuous, and the ANC has suggested it is a subversion of democracy.

What Is Zuma's End Game?

It's another crazy time in South African politics where the Zuma faction of the ANC seems to be scoring a lot of own-goals, to the extent that questions have been asked about how Zuma plans on all of this ending. With 783 corruption charges still hanging over his head and an ANC national elective congress coming up in December, does Zuma end up getting prosecuted and heading back to a life behind bars, does he flee to Dubai, does he remain as a dictator to protect himself, or does he actually get to peacefully retire to Nkandla and live happily ever after? Andrew and Rori are joined by political analyst Ralph Mathekga to explore these different scenarios and their plausibility. www.cliffcentral.com

Black Skins/White Schools

In the wake of the racism scandal at prestigious Johannesburg school, St John's College, Andrew and Rori tackle the issue of how black learners are treated and the sense of belonging they have in elite private and former Model C schools that were reserved exclusively for white learners under apartheid. They spend some time discussing Headmaster Paul Edey's response to the crisis, and whether it serves as a reflection of his character and his ability to continue leading the school. They are joined in studio by St John's 2016 headboy Mpilo Mseleku, Irvine Lehloo (who wrote a much publicised letter in defense of Paul Edey) and Gcina Mdluli, a former pupil of Roedean School in Johannesburg. www.cliffcentral.com

A conversation around a breakfast table reveals how a friend has been a silent victim of rape, the 1 out of 3 people that have been victims of sexual violence... and that raises the question: are women who have been raped an exception rather than the rule?

Is Democracy Protecting The Politicians While Holding The People To Ransom?

On the one hand, President Zuma and his government made up of Dlamini, Mahlobo, Zwane, etc. is a democratically elected government that represents the will of the people.

Are SA NGOs Moneymaking Schemes or Agents for Meaningful Impact?

There are over 200,000 NGOs in South Africa - all tackling the same set of issues. Yet it would appear that we aren’t really moving the needle on resolving those issues, while NGO execs continue to get paid large sums and build up their personal profiles through all sorts of fellowships, lists and international travel... living lives far removed from the lives they are supposedly trying to impact - yet using the experiences of those they are supposedly trying to impact to build up their own currency. www.cliffcentral.com

State Capture has dominated the South African socio-political landscape recently, culminating in an explosive report by the Public Protector outlining various cases of politicians being compromised by wealthy businesspeople.

In the wake of the controversy surrounding the #StopRacismAtPretoriaGirlsHigh campaign, where black learners openly protested what they referred to as racist and discriminatory rules on the hair of black learners at the highly-regarded Pretoria High School for Girls, the nation was once again divided. While there was overwhelming support for the learners’ cause, there was also a dissenting view from those who feel that the whole issue is, at the least, a storm in a teacup... and at the most the work of racist agitators and petulant learners who, instead of focusing on their studies, are causing trouble.

Politicians seem to only raise Marikana when there are political points to be scored, and on this day the people of Marikana are still crying out for justice.

Frankly Speaking - Decolonising Corporate SA - Part 2

(Part 2 of 2) Just as students took it upon themselves to drive the "decolonisation" project on their campuses, is it incumbent on young professionals to drive a radical process of transformation of South African corporates? 2015 was dubbed the year of the student – the year students embraced their power of youth and idealism to affect real disruptive change on the socio-political and economic context of South Africa and the deep inequalities that characterise it. The failure of South African corporates to transform is well documented and has been debated ad nauseam and yet the change towards a transformed corporate South Africa is slow and seemingly half-hearted. Is it time for young professionals to take things to a more radical level in demanding and affecting transformation?
