    The Africa Report: Why uterine health must be central to Africa’s development

    Bongani Bingwa speaks to Sindiswa Mzamo, Director and Global President of the Circle of Business Women about women’s health with a focus on uterine health, from menstrual wellbeing to overall reproductive function and the ability to carry a pregnancy,  an issue affecting millions of women across the continent, yet still too often spoken about in whispers. On the sidelines of the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa, South African health leader Dr Vivian Mokome, alongside Fatima Moyane, led a high-level discussion calling for women’s health to be recognised as a core part of primary healthcare rather than an afterthought, underscoring the importance of dignity, early detection and improved access to quality care, and reinforcing the need to place women’s health at the centre of Africa’s development agenda in line with Agenda 2063, arguing that economic growth and sustainable progress are impossible without prioritising the health and wellbeing of women.   702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.   Bongani makes sense of the news, interviews the key newsmakers of the day, and holds those in power to account on your behalf.

    The Africa Report: Zambia lawmakers back constitutional amendment before election

    Bongani Bingwa speaks to Justin Mulenga, Diamond TV correspondent, about Zambia’s Parliament backing proposed constitutional amendments ahead of the country’s next general election. The move is being presented as a step toward strengthening governance and modernising the country’s founding legal framework, often seen as a sign of a maturing democracy. However, the timing of the amendments has sparked debate about political motives, electoral implications, and their broader impact on democratic practice in the region. Mulenga provides on-the-ground insight into what is driving the changes and why they matter not only for Zambians, but for the future of democracy in Southern Africa.   702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.
