    The Africa Report: Focus on literacy in the classroom

    Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Nompumelelo Mohohlwane, Director of the Reading Directorate at the National department of basic education, as the Africa Report turns its focus to early literacy in the classroom. Early literacy skills are a strong predictor of future reading achievement and overall school success. Spelling plays a key role in this development, helping children understand the connection between letters and sounds and improving their ability to decode words and express ideas through writing. As young learners from across the continent prepare to compete in an African spelling competition next week, the discussion explores how South African learners compare with their peers and what is being done to strengthen reading outcomes.    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: 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.
