    Corporates That Care: Empowering South Africa’s Young Entrepreneurs

    On Corporates That Care, we explore a programme making a real difference for young South Africans looking to start their own businesses. Metropolitan Collective Shapers is helping youth entrepreneurs move from merely “getting by” to building sustainable businesses that create jobs, strengthen families, and uplift communities. From agriculture in KwaZulu-Natal to food and hospitality in Tshwane, the initiative provides mentorship, training, financial guidance, and market access, offering young people the tools to grow rather than just a handout. Joining the conversation is Lindiwe Gumede, Chief Marketing Officer at Metropolitan, to explain how the programme works and why it matters for the future of youth entrepreneurship in South Africa.   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.

    World View with Adam Gilchrist: Russia’s long road to Geneva

    Adam Gilchrist looks at the global stories making headlines, beginning with tributes pouring in for civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, who has died at the age of 84. A towering figure in the struggle for equality, Jackson worked closely with Martin Luther King Jr., championed voting rights and economic justice, ran for U.S. president in 1984 and 1988, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Bill Clinton in 2000; he also founded the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, cementing a legacy of empowerment and social justice. The focus then shifts to escalating tensions involving Russia and Ukraine, as diplomatic efforts unfold in Geneva amid reports of Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s Ilsky oil refinery in the Krasnodar region, underscoring mounting logistical strain and pressure on supply lines. Finally, there’s intrigue in the United States over the possible release of long-awaited government files linked to UFO investigations, fuelling speculation about what a presidential disclosure could reveal.   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.

    What’s Gone Viral with Khabazela: Australian Finance Minister Nett and Gross

    Bongani speak to Khabazela unpacking two viral moments doing the rounds online first, the Australian Finance Minister’s awkward “nett versus gross” exchange that has reignited debate about whether leaders should simply admit when they don’t know something, and why saying “I don’t know” can feel politically or personally risky; and second, the light-hearted but relatable Kinder Joy Egg moment that has parents divided over sugar rules at home, sparking a nostalgic look back at the special treats many of us grew up treasuring asking how we balance discipline, indulgence and memory-making with our own children today.   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.

    Foot-and-mouth disease hits consumers: What it means for your food bill

    Bongani Bingwa is joined by Johan Kotze, CEO of Agri SA, to unpack the growing impact of foot-and-mouth disease following the first-ever confirmed case in a Western Cape dairy herd. No longer a distant agricultural issue, the outbreak is now affecting everyday staples such as milk, cheese, yoghurt and even baby formula. As infected animals produce less milk, exports face restrictions and supply chains tighten, pressure is building across the entire food system — from farmers to retailers to households, raising serious concerns about food security and the rising cost of living. What was once viewed as a farm-level challenge is fast becoming a broader economic issue, with urgent questions about the severity of the outbreak, how long it may last, and what interventions are needed to protect both producers and consumers.   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.

    World View with Adam Gilchrist: US Navy warships positioned near Iran

    Adam Gilchrist brings us the latest global headlines, starting in the Middle East where the USS Abraham Lincoln has been positioned in the Arabian Sea, roughly 700 kilometres from Iran, as Washington increases pressure on Tehran over its nuclear ambitions and internal crackdown on protesters, ahead of scheduled talks between US and Iranian officials in Switzerland. He also reflects on the death of Hollywood legend Robert Duvall at the age of 95, the Academy Award-winning actor celebrated for iconic roles in The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, who passed away at his home in Virginia. And in Australia, police in Sydney are appealing for information after 85-year-old Chris Baghsarian was allegedly abducted from his home in what authorities believe may have been a case of mistaken identity, with investigators urging the public to assist in efforts to secure his safe return.   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.

    What’s Gone Viral with Khabazela: Watching tv with your whole family and A dog’s love

    Khabazela takes a look at the stories trending online this morning, starting with a relatable family moment: what did you used to do when you were watching a movie with your parents and an unexpected sex scene came on — did someone scramble for the remote, did everyone suddenly become very interested in their phones, and how did your parents react? He also turns to a lighter, heartwarming topic about a dog’s love, asking how your furry friend shows you affection, from tail wags to over-the-top greetings, and what it’s like coming home to them after you’ve been out at a restaurant.   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.
